Aashini Miley (5.43lbs) was born on November 7th, 2007 at 5:09pm. This is Adam writing. Both Andrea and the baby are okay. Both have been placed on breathing assistance. After the C-section, Andrea had an asthma attack brought on by the pre-eclampsia. She was taken down to the ICU. Her oxygen levels have returned to normal after being put on a cpap (respirator type thing). The birth and condition put a lot of strain on her heart. The cardiologist came and decided that she has post-partem cardio myopathy. They are giving her some diuretic to remove the fluid, bp medicine, and meds to strengthen the heart.
Aashini came at only 34 weeks and 5 days. Andrea's pre-eclampsia had escalated so the docs decided to go ahead and deliver the baby via C-section. All went well with the surgery. I can't hold her yet because she's hooked up to this breathing thing to help her lungs. She is still breathing a little fast so that's why the doc put her on that. Hopefully she will be taken off of that in a day or so.
Anyway, this is just a quick note. Andrea will surely send more pictures and notes as soon as she gets released from ICU. Here are a few pictures that I was able to take. Andrea only got to see her just after she was delivered. Andrea touched her cheek before she was taken away. Our friend Scott printed up pictures like these and Andrea has them in the ICU.
Stay tuned for more info. Thanks for continuing to lift us up. God is so Good!
