Happy Birthday Marlin!
On June 22, 2012 at 3:07 pm, Marlin Peterson came into this world. He was 27 weeks and 5 days gestation
age (GA). He weighed 2 pounds and
2 ounces and was 14.5 inches long.
We went to my 7 month check up and he was born within 36
hours. I was diagnosed with severe
preeclampsia. My blood pressure
was 202/145 and I had a plus 4 protien in my urine. The doctor sent me immediately to the hospital. They tried controlling my blood
pressure so I would not have a stroke.
They were able to give me the two shots of steroids to help with Marlin’s
lungs, but they were not able to wait the full 24 hours after to deliver
because my kidneys shut down.
They delivered him by c-section and Thor was able to watch
the whole thing. He also took
pictures (which I will not post, if you really want to se them, email me). They immediately wisked him off to the
NICU at Redlands community hospital.
And so our journey begins. Here are a few pictures from that first day.
