Everyone is doing well after a crazy night. We got to the hospital yesterday at about 4:30 p.m. and labs showed Amy had severe preeclampsia. By 7:30 or so, her doctor said it was "baby time." She went to the O.R. 20 minutes later… and 30 minutes after that Jack said, "Hello world!"
Amy's blood pressure is under control and we're waiting on labs to come back to see how her liver function is. So far so good. The NICU thinks Jack can come off the ventilator sometime today, but he's gonna be here a while… likely until his scheduled due date (Jan. 20). In some cases NICU kids can go home up to a week early, but that depends on how they do. They tell me he's a strong kid… likes to fight the tubes and nurses. That's my boy!
There's a chance that Amy can get down to the NICU this afternoon and see Jack for longer than the few minutes they got last night.
