We had a rough start with this little guy. He came deciding he didnt want to breath. I havent seen him without any tubes yet, so I cant wait until that day..
As soon as he was born they took him away and got him on oxygen and a tube down his throat to help with all the sticky yucky stuff that was holding his lungs together.
The next day he just wasnt getting any better, he was actually getting worse.
Cody and I prayed alot and had a strong feeling that he needed to go to St.George.
So we talked to the DR. and he felt the same thing. So later that day they Life Flighted him to St.Georges NICU, which is compared to Primary childrens..They had to put a tube down his throat that would breath for him cause he was so tired from trying to take every breath he could in cedar. He got that taken the next morning
With in a couple of hours being there he was doing great.
After taking some blood work they also figured out that he had pnemonia, so they started meds for that, plus he has Respitory Distress, and from not breathing right off the bat his chest is caved in right inbetween is rib cage.
We did not get to hold him util he was 3 days old. that was the hardest part of it all, was sitting there not being able to hold him. Plus I didnt feel like his mommy, cause all these other people were taken care of my baby why we just watch. Until the day we could hold him and change his bums, we were so excited for that day.
Every Day he did something new that would get him home sooner. They told us to plan on at least two weeks, staying in the NICU, and we were only there 6 days. thanks to his daddys blessing and everyones prayers, he faught his hardest to pull through this..
We got home Tuesday evening, he had to come home on oxygen, and will be on that for about a month, but that is ok cause he is HOME!!!
We love you big guy and you sure are a fighter.
cant wait to see what you look like without stuff on your face..

Love You Keston



This was in Cedar, Oxygen,mouth tube, Iv

Life Flight crew, they were awesome. the ladies were also nurses at the NICU..

St.George NICU. The big breathing tube and a bunch more wires and stuff

This is how they were feeding him.. Plus he has to have the billy lights.

Cody was so good through this hole thing, he never left me or Keston, he took the week off to be with us. Keston's favorite thing is when his dad puts his hand on the top of his head, it calms the kids right down and he will go to sleep.
