So that's where I went, which I didn't know was kind of where they took the worst case scenarios. I remember being able to touch his hand and walking through this maze that was the hospital that we were in. He's got a bunch of things on him, but he looks fine. Some of the first pictures I have is he's in like an infant stretcher with the glass case over it.
There's a team of nurses, and there may have been a doctor with us, but I definitely remember nurses that were obviously carrying along things that are monitoring his vitals. And then the main doctor, his name was Dr. Thomas, ironically enough, said to me, he looks like a normal baby boy, but he is not. He has not gone through anything that is normal.

We're going to be checking him for all sorts of things. And he started listing the most serious things first, things like bleeding in the brain, brain damage due to lack of oxygen. It seemed like the list just kept going on and on. I'll never forget. I think they hooked him up to antibiotics immediately. They hooked him up to a feeding tube.

He had a CPAP on that was helping him breathe, things like that. I was able to stay with him while they were still doing those things. I was kind of preoccupied with him, just thinking that I would get an update whenever there was something to learn about Kristen's condition. I trusted that Kristen was in the best care.

The doula was in a waiting area. I was obviously preoccupied with Theo and luckily things were progressing well with him. At this point, things start to slow down. It's a few hours later and I'm talking to Kristen's mom on the phone. Everything happened so quick and it happened in the afternoon that no one had really been able to come up and see us.

They're just kind of getting updates from over the phone. And I said something to the effect of, Kristen is still in surgery. And Her mom, who happens to be a nurse, was like, what do you mean she's still in surgery? I was like, yeah, you know, just assume that they'll come get me when she's out, that no one's came to get me yet. She's like, Thomas, that is not normal. That is not right.

This has been three hours. Something is wrong. You need to go find out. That was a big turning point, realizing that not only has my son been put in grave peril, but also my wife. It was actually not long after that, that I did get called down and I did get to meet Dr. Fuller for the first time. I had been in her office and obviously she had taken care of Kristen.

She was the one that drove Kristen to the hospital and subsequently operated on her as well. But this would be the first time that I would meet Dr. Fuller and it's now probably eight something at night. So it's been over three hours since Theo was born.
