Dad, Grammy (my Mom) and Nana (my Gram) were all there to greet Tyler when he FINALLY decided to make his debut into the world just before 2am on Sunday, April 25, 2010. During his 6 hour journey into the world, Tyler became very stressed and suffered from a substantial lack of oxygen. When he was born the doctors and nurses became very concerned as he was extremely 'floppy' and was having trouble breathing. They whisked him off to the NICU (neonatal intensive care unit) where they kept a close eye on him. Although he appeared to be doing better, the doctors there believed that because of the trauma, his brain might begin to swell (causing damage). A phone call to the hospital in Lebanon NH and they made the decision to air lift him up there to begin a body cooling process to prevent additional swelling and hopefully ward off any further damage to the brain. Less than an hour after his birth, we were told that he was going to be transported up to Lebanon.
