Baby still in the ICU, but they removed him off the breather. Shannon has been crying the whole time and we both have been extremely(yes, I have been crying too) worried for the litttle guy.
He had been having an extremely hard time trying to get air so the breather made his life so much easier he slept really hard for a long time. When they took him off finally he still breathes fast, but he is getting much better. We both are just hoping it stays that way and improves.
The Hospital kept Shannon because she needed rest and to recover and because of MAx's condition. I have been bouncing back and fourth between hospital and home taking care of dogs, preparing for Max, and then spending as much time with Baby and Shannon as possible.
I took the week off and work(MIcron) fired meand told me if family comes first then do what you gotta do, but your job will not be waiting. NOt understandable, because when I took that job I told like 30 people in every step of the hiring and management process and wrote it down on all paper work that my wife was due 1'st or 2nd week in July and that they should expect me to miss at least one week (3 or 4 day 12 hour shifts) for that and I was not going to miss my son's birth and my wife was has health problems and is on Medicaid. They greased my hind end, told me that they would not see it anyother way and would not hire me if they thought I would come to work and call an ambulance for my wife to deliver without me.
So, when I went home for lunch and Shannon was in labor and I called my Supervisor and told them I would not be coming back after lunch and taking my wife to deliver and later called back and updated him that I needed the rest of the week off that it was real he informed me I would not have a job anymore. I told him I that's ok I would not want to work for anyone whom would not understand that a Mom or Dad would need to be there for the birth of their child.
If anyone is intersted we have a regestry at www.babiesrus.com under Shannon and James Bruns everything or anything that someone picks comes off the registry to prevent duplicated items. And if someone didn't want to worry about shipping they could call Meridian IDaho Babies r us after they surfed the registry and then tell them what they pick and the store can remove it off the registry.
Thank you all for the Good wishes and Congrats. ANd please keep us all in your Thoughts and Prayers. Max needs everything that everyone has to give emotionally and spiritually. I am off to the Va to test my liver and then to see Shannon and MAx
