Spring - Alex In The NICU


Alex was a little overdue...
so the doctor induced labor with Oxytocin...
and after 17 hours of labor...
Alex seemed to be in distress...
so, the doctor did an emergency C-Section.

During the surgery...
Alex had inhaled some amniotic fluid...
so, they had placed him in the NICU for 5 days
to ensure he wouldn't develop Pneumonia.


Not only was Alex vigorous...
but he had a very deep and loud cry.





After the 5 days...
we took Alex home with us.

My wife had also stayed in the hospital not too far from the NICU...
 she slept until it was feeding time for Alex.
