SJ closed the first night of life with accelerated breathing and ended up in the nursery for observation. He was placed under this oxygen helmet to try to give him a break and get it under control.
The doctors have run tests, taken x-rays. They are not really sure what is going on to cause him to breathe this way. He's being administered treatment as if it were pneumonia.
So far, as of last check, he's doing better! Have to wait and see what the day brings.

SJ was weened off the oxygen yesterday afternoon. They removed the "Buzz Lightyear Helmet" (oxygen hood) from over his head. Cautious steps in a positive direction! Best part of yesterday, I was able to hold him again around 8 pm on day two for about 30 mins!
I will be discharged later today, but remain here at the hospital with our baby boy for a potential seven to ten additional days. I'm about to go down to lockdown and love on him!
Thought for today:
"There is nothing that wastes the body like worry, and one who has any faith in God should be ashamed to worry about anything whatsoever."Mohandas Gandhi
I'm not saying I'm not thinking about SJ nonstop...but we aren't going to get bogged down in the drama, unknown, or hypothetical. It is what is, what's next, let's move on! :)
Thank you so much for all the wonderful thoughts, prayers, and messages! It's nice to see and feel the support system that team Kennedy and it's newest little member has surrounding us!
Updates and photos will be posted as warranted!
