This boy...Happy Birthday Bubba! ( a day early)

This boy, this boy right here. He brings me so much joy!

Casey Hazelwood

This boy was born 7 weeks early on May 29, on a Thursday at 4:32 pm.

He weighed 4lbs 0oz and was 17 3/4in long.

I got to hold him for about 30 seconds before Casey was instructed to walk him to the NICU.

He was not breathing well and had to be transported by ambulance to another hospital.

I was not doing well myself. I almost had a stroke before Casey was born. My kidneys were not functioning properly and my blood pressure was out of control. Not until years later did I realize how serious our situation was that day! And how lucky we both were.

Casey stayed in the NICU at St. Paul Medical Center for 13 days. His lungs improved and he was released as soon as he learned to suck/swallow his feedings.

This boy is one of my three miraculous blessings!

(Yes, that is a pink hat. They ran out of blue that day, :( but it is Casey.)
