So this is Val and I'm updating the blog for Ashley. So at 11:00 AM, give or take a few minutes, Little Nolan Micheal Dowaliby blessed us with his presence. He weighs 13oz and is almost as big as Chris's hand. Chris has big hands. He came out with an APGAR of 8 at one minute and 8 at 5 minutes. Chris said he cried when they pulled him out. He is intubated and on the ventilator but the neonatologist quoted "He is stable" and talked about future plans. He says he is pretty active for a baby this size. They are currently running every test imaginable including an ECHO. The results aren't in on those yet. Mommy is doing fine. She is still really sleepy from the meds and they have her on a Morphine drip. Not too much pain right now just some cramping. Blood pressure has come down and they are just watching her now to make sure the preeclampsia is resolved. She says he is really really really small but the Dr's are giving him a fighting chance. They plan to keep Ashley here at least until Thursday and Little Nolan as of now is planning on living at the hospital till about September. Chris and Ashley want to say thank you soo much for all the love, support, and prayers that have been sent their way. We still need lots of prayers for the family and that this little miracle can now take up the fighting on his own.
WELCOME Nolan! CONGRATS Ashely and Chris! Our continued thoughts and prayers are with you and your lil fighter! *HUGS*
