Brody has had the roughest road so far out of our three little ones. He has had a couple of respiratory problems since the first few moments of his life. He was doing great, just like his sisters, when he was born, but soon the doctors found that he was struggling a little with every breath. So they did the necessary things to help him breath a little easier. His sisters are using a CPAP, and he has to have a breathing tube. He also had a collapsed lung the first night, and the doctors had to put in a chest tube. He has since had a blood transfusion, and put on IB Profen to help close a duct valve in his heart (PDA). Tonight, we noticed that his color is getting better, and we have high hopes that his road will soon get smoother.
