On 10/8/10 Tristina went into active labor at 5:30am. Labor continued to progress for the next several hours. Around 3:00pm, Tristina’s body temp began to elevate, and Asher’s heart rate started to decelerate after each contraction. After a couple hours of close monitoring, the nurses took Tristina off the IV fluids and gave her oxygen and antibiotics for a temperature of 102 degrees to get as much oxygen to Asher as possible. At 8:45pm NICU nurses entered the room to prepare for his arrival. (At that time we weren't aware that they were NICU nurses or that there were any complications) Asher was born at 9:06pm. He was then rushed to the NICU with Lyle following behind. Asher was hooked to a ventilator, various monitors, antibiotics, blood pressure medicine, and sedated within 20 mins. By 9:45pm Asher had been diagnosed with PPHN and possible infections in the lungs. Our picture of how this day was going to be, was completely lost, but a new picture is in sight, due to the faithfulness of our G-d.
