Waylon's First Day


Waylon Michael Hall was born at 11:44 a.m. on 6/21/07 at Penrose Community Hospital in Colorado Springs, CO.


He weighed 7lbs. 0 oz. and was 20.5 inches long. His birth was a little difficult for mom (Jess) as he came out "sunny-side up" which means he came out face up.....not the more "normal" way of coming out face down.


This made it very difficult to get him out and he was in a state of shock at birth. He was taken immedietly to baby ICU and given fluids for dehydration and put into an oxygen tent to help him breath.


The hospital staff initially told us he would be in ICU for 12-24 hours or more....but 3 hours later he was totally recovered and allowed to stay in Jess's room.


Jess was in alot of pain initially but she is a trooper and is recovering quickly. They are scheduled to be released Saturday.
