Our Baby Brigham



We are so thankful that Liz is doing just great after delivery and so happy that we have Brigham in our family. Liz was truly blessed and we are so thankful to our Heavenly Father for keeping Liz with us.
Everything went great with the labor and delivery. The problems occurred after the delivery. About two minutes after Brigham was born Liz turned very pale and was not able to breath. All of a sudden we had about 6 or 7 people in the room with us and nurses going everywhere trying to help Liz. Liz's uterus did not shrink and clamp down after Brigham was born and so she was hemerraging and losing a lot of blood. Within the minute Liz got a shot and a new I.V. with medice and the doctors quickly got the uterus to shrink and the blood to stop. When all was said and done Liz received two unites of blood and started to get better.
We are so thankful for the quick actions of the doctors to keep my Liz here. It was a scarry few hourse while we waited to for Liz to get out of the scary zone but finally she started getting better. Today, the day after, Liz is doing much better and Brigham is doing great.
Brigham was 7 lbs. 13 oz. and was 21 inch. long. More pictures will come so check back.
