My fellow Alembicians, I am asking for your help. My first child, Xander, was born Sunday at 8:12 AM. Both of his little lungs collapsed after he aspirated some meconium and he's been fighting for his life ever since. They put in some chest tubes and transported him to the NICU at Children's Hospital in Denver and Dawn and I finally made it down here the next day after getting her well enough to travel after 26 hours of labor.
On Sunday night, he suffered some seizures, but they put a cooling cap on him and gave him some meds and they've not returned. He'll be unconscious until late Thursday or Friday and then they'll warm him up and do an MRI and an EEG. We won't know until then how his brain function will be. He's also fighting off pneumonia, but it looks like that is coming under control. So please, send your healing energy to this little guy. I know he wants to join us all here and be happy and healthy and I know he can do it. The more energy he has behind him, the easier it might be for him. I know he's going to be a great drummer, too!
It is amazing what we all go through to get here. I am in awe of Dawn.
Edwin, with a hurting heart in Denver.
PS. Thankfully, it doesn't seem like finances will be an issue.
