Cutest baby ever! So happy to hear the happy “ending” to this story of Paxton getting better and coming home with his family, where he belongs.

I was referred to your blog by a friend and clicked on the link in your year-in-review post.

Unfortunately I know what a scary, scary time that must have been for you all.

Our youngest grandson came 5 weeks early, just like his older sister and was transferred to a children’s hospital in St. Louis, just like his older sister – supposedly to just get a little help with breathing since he came so early. We expected him to be there a week or less, just like his older sister. The day after he was born, my daughter got a call very similar to yours … T#3 was suffering from Persistent Pulminary Hypertension and had a pneumothorax from the high frequency ventilator. ECMO was the next step. Thankfully, like your little guy, T#3 is just fine … a 5 y.o. full of life and energy … but those 5 weeks in the NICU were the scariest time of my life.

I could be reading my own story, except for a more dramatic entrance (footling breech = c-section) and instead of the infection, my daughter had seizures. That was indeed the longest three weeks of my life and the scariest thing I’ve ever gone through. She is now four years old and has been weaned from all seziure medicines since Nov 2010

Bless you for sharing your story and I’m glad that he’s doing better!

Oh my goodness Jenny! I have been so caught up with work and everything else in my busy house that I’m behind in blogging and even reading my favorite blogs and didn’t know that you’d had him so early!! I’m glad that everything worked out okay and that there won’t be any long term effects! Phew!! Enjoy your three boys! I’m sure that the older two will have so much fun with him!
