First few days

Emmett has had a busy first few days of life. His days are filled with visits with family and meeting lots of doctors involved in his care.   When Emmett was born, he was able to maintain his oxygen levels on his own, but life outside the womb is very tiresome....Emmett has a lot of fight in him, but the doctors wanted to conserve most of his energy so he now has a tube temporarily placed to help him breath. He is still breathing mostly on his own (without the help of a machine). 

Emmett's biggest challenge came when they tried to take this tube out yesterday he experienced a small seizure. The doctors are working hard to decide the best coarse for Emmett. Seizures in a premature baby can be caused from a host of different sources. The one thing we are all learning from Mr. Emmett is that things can change very quickly, so this blog will act as a way to keep everyone up to date with the latest information. The biggest indicator for how Emmett will do is time. 

Ryan and Kirby want everyone to know how much they appreciate all the messages and support. Little Emmett already has both of them wrapped around his fingers, and he insists on keeping all of their attention right now!. Today will bring some more tests and hopefully some answers as to what is causing seizures. 

Everyone who loves Ryan and Kirby naturally want to help. I will also use this blog as a way to let everyone know the best way to help. Right now there are still so many unknowns about baby Emmett.  We believe in the power of prayer, so join me in praying for comfort for Emmett's parents and continual healing for baby Emmett. Feel to post comments offering support to Ryan and Kirby, and check back later for updates.
