I'm An Aunt!!! (Again)

H*attie had her baby last night. Little H*unter L*ee made his appearance into the world at 8:41pm. He came out screaming but with poor color and lung sounds. We were all able to hold him breifly for pictures then they took him to the NICU in the hospital. They put him on a breathing mask then switched him to a nasal cannula, but today he's holding his own and not needing oxygen at all. That little one is a fighter and a definite trooper. Poor H*attie though is not doing so good, and needs prayers. Her uterus was still boggy and not contracting back down at all last night or still today, and she's had to have three blood transfusions and clotting platelets, and be put back on the pitocin drip in her IV. Her Dr. has been talking possible need of a hysterectomy if she's still having problems 24hrs post-partum. She's so tore up over all of this and it's been a long hard road for her thus far. I just pray that things don't have to be to extreme for her.

  1. Many Congratulations to the new mama!!!

    I'm so sorry to hear of all she's going through right now, I hope her uterus starts contracting, and that won't need a hysterectomy. I can't imagine facing that possibility, right after birth, and at such a young age as well. I'll definitely be praying for her.

  2. Hi Catrisha

    Congrats to you both. Tell her I said hi. I thought she was having twins? Is there a reason he came so soon? I hope all goes well. I will be praying for her.
