Porter Awake

My sweet little guy awake

Some Recent NICU stuff..

Here are a few more recent pictures of Porter hooked up to some of the machines. The only difference from this picture is he has a pick line in his head to put medicine in. Please keep him in your thoughts and prayers. They are waiting for some more lab results to come back. They seem to think he does have an infection and the good news is his white blood cell count is looking better which means they aren't having to fight the infection as much. So what they are doing is a step in the right direction. This is pretty much the same EXACT thing Lexi went threw and we are very confident and comfortable with these doctors here and know he is in good hands!

Porter Ryan McCoy

April 15th 2009 at 7:52pm Porter Ryan McCoy arrived. He was 5lbs 14 oz and 17 1/2 inches long. He is tiny especially since Lexi was a whole 2lbs bigger and an inch and a half longer. We went to a doctors appointment Wednesday morning with Dr. Wold and everything looked great. We have been meeting with a perionatologist and going in for non stress tests 2 times a week for the past month. We met with the perionatologist after our appointment with Dr. Wold and in the AFI he noticed Porter was measuring small. He was only measuring 36 weeks and 1 day when I was supposed to be almost 38 weeks. He was worried my placenta wasn't nourishing him enough and he would be better out then in. We went straight from the appointment to Labor and Delivery. We were VERY shocked and I think still are in shock that we really had a baby. I was induced at 130pm and was dilated to a 3 for 5 hours then went straight to complete. I pushed 3 times and the little guy was out. It was such an easy delivery that of course he has some health problems! He has respiratory problems and is in the NICU right now but doing okay. We will keep you posted as we find out more.
