BOSS,
The Boss Man is born. Sunday at 5:00 pm exactly little Boston David was born. His APGAR score (Skin Color, Heart Rate, Relfex Irritability, Muscle Tone, Breathing) at birth was a 1 out of 10 (>5 is considered poor). The 1 came because he had a heart rate. Most of the score can be attributed to the fact that Boston swallowed numerous blood clots from Shelby's partial Placenta tear (thought to be Placenta Previa, but wasn't). Once his stomach was pumped and the blood clots removed he was administered Surfactant. This was Boston Miracle drug. After this Boston's APGAR rose to a 4 and then to a 7 within the first hour. He was placed on an advanced Oscillator and after 12 hours was taken to the CPAP flow and after 6 hours there he was given a cannula and oxygen flow. The blood cultures have remained negative and so far Boston is doing well. The road to Bringing Boston Home is still a month or two away, but all things considered we are very pleased and happy with his current status. Please continue to prayer and keep Boston in your thoughts. We are gateful and happy with the current results. Thank you everyone for your support, prayers, thoughts, and for the love you have continued to show our family. We have felt supported and loved throughout this experience. So many amazing people and stories and victory as well as defeat and the devotion to maintain a memory, a hope, and a connection to lost loved ones. We unite with those who have lost and today share the joy of victory over past trials and faith for those to come.
