Bridger Jon Harris-It's a boy!!!
We are glad to announce the birth of our son Bridger Jon Harris born 27 Jul 2009. He weighed just slightly under 8 lbs. The nurses said we would just call it 8 lbs since it was 7 lbs 15.6 oz.
He struggled right after birth with breathing and was quickly whisked away for increased care.
After a few hours of showing little improvement, the Doctor & Nurses decided it would be a good idea to get him increased care at the University of Utah Medical Center Newborn Intensive Care(NBICU) Unit. It was hard to see him with all the tubes being attached to him and being flown away. I chased him in the truck and Ashlee spent the night at the Jordan Valley Hospital. Luckily the doctors let her out the next morning because she is doing awesome.
Sorry I look Drunk. It was a long day. Here he is in the NBICU at the U of U hospital. They put a CPAP on him which I don't exactly know what that is, it helped him breathe and by the next day his breathing had improved, his lungs had cleared out a bit, and his CO2 levels had dropped. They told us those are all good things. He is still in NBICU, but is still improving. We have hopes to have him out of the hospital by the end of the week.
