ok y'all-
we still aren't sure what is going on 100%... so I will just type some notes as I remember them, no particular order.
*Baby loves the paci. I sat with him in NICU this afternoon and sang to him and held that paci- if it fell out and he sucked and it wasn't there he squirmed around until I gave it to him again. Sweet baby.
*BF went fine! Until the rush to the hospital... so mama is trying to work with him and get him to eat. Pray this works out!
*He was airlifted this morning to a bigger better hospital with a pediatric hematologist that is trying to get down to the cause of all of this.
*Basically, from what I understand, he got blood from his daddy that mixed with mama's blood during delivery... and she saw it as foreign and rejected it causing his platelets to drop significantly. (I hope that I am not screwing this up).
So she is donating platelets to him to clear it all up. We are hoping to hear results tonight... but it may be in the morning. That is the short version.
*Baby has a head full of hair! He looks just like his daddy! They still have not even been able to wash him... they can not right now in NICU... something to do with water on him. I don't know. I am not a doctor. I just play one in my head.
*Mama is doing *great*. It will probably hit her a little later. But she is being very strong for her family right now. I am so proud of her!
I am delirious and in need of sleep. So I will try to write more later!

She is feeling the prayers from around the world, seriously. She is totally at peace and calm as could be.

Thank you, thank you for the update. Prayers are indeed being sent. Hope you can get some rest - then give Sam a big ((hug)) from the blogworld for us all when you can.
I am on my way to the hospital. I will go straight to NICU. So if someone wants to call me in an hour or two, I should know more.
I can not use the cell in the NICU.
