He was born at around 9:45 this morning and weighed 7 lbs 2 oz. They tried to stabilize him but they weren't happy with the way he was responding to the ventilator alone. We had hoped he wouldn't need to be put on ECMO but they feel it's necessary for him right now. So, now we begin the ECMO roller coaster. The procedure to put him on ECMO was a success and he seems to be responding well to it so far. Only time will tell how he does. So, please continue to pray for him. I'm pretty tired right now, so I'm keeping this update short. I will post more tomorrow when I know more.
