Omari DeShaun Wade
Born: March 16th, 2009
Weight: 2.1 lbs
26 Weeks Old
Omari was born at St. Mary Hospital in Clayton, Mo at 10:05 a.m. Immediately after his birth, he was transported to Cardinal Glennon Children Hospital for better care. He was born at 26 weeks, and will remain in the hospital until his due date is near. Terri will remain in the hospital for the next few days to heal from an emergency C-Section. I will be going back and fourth between the two loves of my life.
March 17th: Omari lost weight he first day, going down to 1.15 lbs from 2.1 at birth. He also has trouble breathing on his own. The only other thing is that his blood pressure is extremely low. Omari had to undergo a blood transfusion due to certain complications.
March 18th: The blood transfusion fixed his blood pressure problem. He is now off blood pressure medication. Earlier today, doctors took Omari off of ventalation in hopes that he can successfully breathe on his own. It has now been 12hours and he is breathing on his own, but may need help if his lungs get tired. Today, Terri was successful at her breast pumping. She produced enough for a feeding. So we went to give it to Omari, the nurse feed him through his feeding tube. Omari offically loves BREAST MILK! They will check his weight around midnight tonight to see if he has gain back his weight.

ReplyDeleteYour little boy is absolutely beautiful! I am sure you don't remember me, but Terri, you sat next to me the day you were baptized last year.
