Greyson Marley was born via C-section on 11:58 am on July 9th, ten weeks earlier than expected. He weighed in at 3 lbs, 15 oz. The whole experience for me is a blur. Seems like I was in and out of there in only a few minutes, or maybe it was 10, or 20. I accompanied Greyson the crew that was working on him NICU. Trish and I had agreed on this ahead of time, something about babies being mislabeled, lost, sent home with the wrong parents. After he was deemed stable, I watched him get plugged in… a CPAP to help him breath, a line into stomach to remove pressure, a heart monitor, a respatory monitor, an oxygen sensor, a sensor to measure his skin temperature, a line inserted through his bellybutton as an IV and another one to measure blood pressure an take blood samples. That’s a whole lot of lines and tubes for such a tiny boy.
