Savannah was born March 3, 2005, weighing 9 lbs 9 oz. Two weeks before she was born we moved into our first house. On October 14, 2008,weighing 7 lbs 11 oz., we welcomed our second child, Austin. Austin suffered from pneumothorex. The first 8 hours of his little life was spent in transition nursery because he was having a hard time breathing. He finally came to my room later that night and spent the whole night with me. The next day my nurse was going to get him treated for jaundice and as she undressed him she notice that the irregular breathing was back, by looking at his chest. She called the pediatrician and he ordered an x-ray. That is when it was discovered that his right lung had collapsed! Apparently, his lung tore sometime after birth and collapsed. He underwent immediate surgery and the doctors stuck a tube in his chest to suck out the air, so his lung could fix itself and Austin spent 4 days in NICU. We finally went home that Saturday night and Austin has been a healthy baby boy since. The doctors said that we should never have to worry about this problem again! Thank goodness.
Our days are spent with me staying at home with the kiddies and going to school at night. Corey works full time and goes to school at night too. Our lives get very hectic, but I try to remind myself that this is the best time of our lives. I am so blessed to be able to stay at home while I am in school. I hopefully will be done with school next July and then I will have to join the real world. So, right know I am loving it.
