Bryson Michael Booher

Bryson was born in the most critical and unexpected way I ever imagined. There is a long story behind this that just makes me angry and I would rather not go into too many details. He was born deprived of oxygen due to how long it took for the doctors to offer a c section and ended up in the NICU.

May 19th, 2015 at 3:54am he was born into this world and rushed to get oxygen. I was knocked out on medication due to not being numb enough to perform the emergency surgery.. I didn't get to see Bryson  for hours after he was born. My dreams and wishes of skin to skin, holding him, or breast feeding went out the window quick.

This was the first photo of him after he was born with a ventilator. Brandon had to hurry and take the photo as he was being rushed upstairs to the NICU. He later was placed in a cooling blanket for 72 hours and then warmed for 24 hours, longest process ever. He developed seizures during this process resulting in needing an MRI and will need to be on seizure medication until he doesn't have them any longer. This will be determined by neurologist in the future.

Cooling blanket process.. This was so hard for me. When your child is born you want to warm them and protect them and snuggle and none of this was i allowed to do. Instead I had to see him in a box with purple hands shivering.

This picture they finally let me wrap him in a blanket that I brought during the cooling phase process. This was the best feeling ever.

On May 21st, 2015, I finally got to hold him, although it was full of wires, cords and wrapped in a cooling blanket and only 1 hour long, however it was the best moment I could have asked for. Poor daddy did not get a chance to hold him and still as of today has not been able to (may 24th), he will hopefully get to later today. We are waiting patiently for the MRI to be complete and then hopefully will have a bath, we'll get to hold him and we should get results tomorrow. 

At 1:45pm today they removed all of his eeg cords to perform his MRI.. Oh how handsome and healthy he looks in these photos.

I couldn't imagine my world without him now.. I love him to pieces and miss him so much..I can't wait to dress him, snuggle him and kiss him at home and not in this hospital. I have loved the nurses and small family I have here already but this has been a hard process. I can't wait to take him home..
