Well Breckin has had a pretty rough start to life. He is in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit right now and will be there until he goes home. While going through labor, the umbilical cord got wrapped around his neck making him struggle each time there was a contraction. This struggle and fighting caused him to use a lot of his sugar storage. He was born with abnormally low sugar levels and he was running a temperature. For that he has earned himself a stay in the NICU. They did a blood culture to test for any infections, but we won't have results from that for two days. Also, he has had a couple of episodes where he has decided to hold his breath causing his oxygen levels to get really low. He did this once while Brooke was feeding him. We hope it has only been because of how he was positioned while feeding. Breckin can use some extra prayers and so can Brooke and I. It's hard to have your son in a different room from you.
Here are some fun pictures and video to share though.

He is beautiful! We will be praying for the 3 of you. It is hard not having him there in your room. We are so sorry for that. Get some rest and try to enjoy your company. I am sure your room is full!
We love you!

Sorry to hear Breckin has had such a rough start. I remember how awful it was having Aiden in the NICU and away from me. Hang in there, try to take advantage of this time to rest and recover, so that when you are with Breckin, you can give him your best. We'll be praying for all three of you.
Love you guys!
