This morning around 2:20AM, my wife gave birth two our second child. I will ensure he suffers as a Jet fan like I'm already trying to do to my 2 year old. He got moved to the NICU later in the morning. After my wife got done feeding him, I noticed he was breathing exceptionally fast and got a nurse to check him. While they took him to another room to observe him, I could see how fast he was breathing and had jerky motions. Wife and I can visit him whenever. Hooked up to a CPAP-like machine to fill his lungs so he doesn't have to breathe so rapidly. Little feeding tube to give him dextrose (low blood sugar). I feel devastated even though I know he'll probably be fine. I feel like a horrible parent because I'm up in our recovery room instead of with him 24 hours. I'm emotionally exhausted and fighting tears all the time. Normally I'm the stoic one saying everything will be fine, being the reassuring presence. Just too much at this point.

Congrats on the birth of your son Hope all goes well, just keep in mind with newborns the doctors take every precaution so they are likely just making sure they have all the bases covered. My first grandbaby had to stay in the hospital a few extra days just to be on the safe side and now she is running around like a maniac. I know all the well wishes in the world don't help you feel much better when your baby in is NICU but just try and stay positive.
He is off the extra air. Now it's just slowly weaning him off his sugar iv fluid. Sent from my SM-S906U using Tapatalk
I see what you did there, slick. Seriously, blessings to you, your child bride and the new edition to the clan.
Congratulations on the new arrival. I'm glad to hear that things already seem to be progressing well. But of course the reason you are a horrible parent is that you are attempting to condemn your children to a lifetime of Jets fanhood. What did they do to deserve such a fate?
I don't get why you're not with him 1/2 the time at least--I had similar thing--my son gulped down a bunch of amniotic fluid and was breathing within that halo type thing for first couple days--i put my pinky in his hand and he clasped on it--I started reading the bible to him. It all worked out. OK--just saw update post--now I can say I too tried to get my son to be a jet fan but guess what--after watching the patriots beat us for years he became a pats fan. I'm glad
Blood sugar is up and down. He was down from 9 mL/hr dextrose solution to 4 but is now back up to 5. Been having around there. Eating and sleeping, sucking on boobs every 3 hours. I'd saying he's living the life if it wasn't for the sugar. Sent from my SM-S906U using Tapatalk
Congratulations my friend and my prayers are with you, your wife and your new born son. He will pull thru. Because God needs more Jets fans he can punish. Moving this to main forum as this BS Forum section doesn't have the same traffic. More eyes on this topic means more prayers and more congratulations. Hang in there my friend. Good things will happen.
Congrats on your newborn son, and hoping he turns the corner, as it sounds like he has already! But making sure he's a Jets fan? That sounds like naming him "Sue" to make sure he grows up tough and mean.
Congratulations on your son. He will be fine, it’s a really special time. Enjoy the time with him, it’s special when they are little. Another Jets fan! Possibly our future QB.
Congratulations bud!! No better feeling, seeing life born On a side note, don't set him up for a life of agony and misery, let him choose his own team
Thank you. You guys are all so great here. Never enjoyed suffering so much over a sports team. Sent from my SM-S906U using Tapatalk
Congratulations! Here is your chance to do your first good deed as a father and make him root for anyone other than the Jets.
Congratulations!!! I'm sure everything will be alright, but it can definitely be stressful in the meantime. Anyway, this is your get out of jail free card with this team; you can justify switching to a better one on the grounds that it's what's best for your kids.
