Brayden's first 24 hrs

After the c-section he was wheeled up to the NICU where he was assessed and stabalized. Miranda was in the recovery area of labor and delivery where the nurses were struggling to get her blood pressure back to normal. Her once high blood pressure had plummeted to a dangerous 90/50 and her heart rate had dropped to less than 50 beats per minute. After receiving a couple doses of Epinephrin to speed up her heart, she was wheeled up to the NICU so she could see Brayden before being placed in a personal room.

Once we got settled in the room, and I made sure Miranda was doing ok, I went to see Brayden for the firs time. Walking in to the NICU was like stepping back 9 years. I even had to stop my self from saying I'm here to see Payton. Here is a little clip of Brayden in his Isolette.

Brayden was doing well, he was on minimal amounts of Oxygen and very little meds for anything. Everything was going well. I continued to go back and forth between visiting Brayden and helping Miranda.
