Good article in the Denver Post today (thanks Patrick for sharing)…

Michael Sierra – 4 weeks old, 2 1/2 pounds and swollen like an overstuffed sausage – needed attention. And he was getting it.

A defect was making his heart work overtime. Infection flowed through his blood, and a hole in his gut was spilling poison into his body.

He had survived a flight from the Rapid City, S.D., hospital where he was born to Presbyterian/St. Luke’s Medical Center. Now, he desperately needed surgery, but his doctors feared he was too sick to make one more trip, even from the neonatal intensive-care unit to an operating room a floor below.

So the operating room came to him.

Read the rest of the article here. The article instantly reminded me of the operating room having to come to Macy when she had NEC. Terrible memories.

It’s a Boy!  And it’s another Boy!  Yep, Shauna broke the family cycle and found out she is having twin boys!  She said her husband, Josh’s head is so big, he can barely fit through the doorway!  According to the ultrasound, Baby A in on the left, head up, with a heartbeat of 130.  And Baby B is on the right, head down, with a heartbeat of 138.  Each baby has it’s own placenta and sack, so definitely fraternal.  They received a video of the ultrasound that shows one of the babies sucking it’s his thumb!
