My sister had her son last night at 36.2 weeks because of preeclampsia and Hellp. He was unable to breathe on his own, is now on a ventilator in the NICU. They also have him on a cooling schedule to keep his brain from swelling because of encephalopathy. He was born pink, last night he just started moving on his own a bit, and the respiratory therapist said he's trying to breathe on his own as well. I'm hoping those small improvements keep happening, the next few days are crucial.

I'm 8 months myself and an RN so I know just enough to try and keep calm for my family, we just lost my older brother to a car accident in February. This has been awful.

I hesitate to put his story on here because I know how scary it can be for mommies to be.. He just really needs some prayers and positive thoughts headed his way.

His name is Elliott. 💜💜💜
