Noah Lane Heitman

Noah was born at 3:17am June 23rd. He was 7lb 7oz. He was born with no heartbeat and not breathing. They had to rush me for an emergency C-section. They immediately put on a cooling blanket to help with swelling. He was taken off of that and warmed up on Friday. He does have swelling of the brain, kidney injuries and some blood issues. He has not been peeing which has lead to 4 lbs of water weight, so he is very swollen.

He however had a great day yesterday. He peed over 200 ml of urine which is the most he has done in 6 days combined. That is a wonderful sign. He also moved his hands and let us know that he is fighting in there. We have now seen him move since right when he was put on the cooling blanket. So, yesterday was a great day for us. I also wanted to thank everyone for their thoughts and prayers for Noah. I know that I have not been able to speak with everyone, but I am so thankful for all the calls and texts that we have been receiving. Michael and I thank you again from the botton of our hearts!! We will keep the blog updated once a day with his progress.
