Update on Baby Robert
He has been admitted back to the hospital in the NICU. While at home with Kimberly, his lips turned blue and they rushed him to the hospital. He has premature infant apnea, where when a baby is premature and their heart rate drops on occasion which causes their oxygen levels to drop too. Luckily, it is not too serious. These episodes just last seconds. It just takes longer for preemies hearts and lungs to get stronger. The doctors say he will have to go without an "episode" for five days before he can go home. Eventually, he will just grow out of it and be fine. We all know that being in the hospital and being supervised by medical staff during these episodes is best, but hard on Kimberly and Wrenn. We are praying that Robert grows stronger and stronger each day. He is doing well. He is gaining weight and feeding well. I ask that you please pray for Robert's strength to continue growing and also prayers for Kimberly and Wrenn as they struggle with the stress of having Robert in the hospital, lack of sleep and just wanting their baby at home. Thank you!
