My youngest son Declan was born shortly before midnight after a long day spent in the hospital. Our doctor held him up for us to see his wonderful face. I whispered to my husband Steve, “We make beautiful babies.”
The doctor turned Declan toward her and said something through her mask. In a flash, the room filled with nurses and doctors. Through the figures surrounding Declan, I caught a glimpse of a nurse squeezing a blue bag over Declan’s face.
I don’t know how much time passed before they took him from the room and a doctor came to me and said “Your son is very sick. We are taking him to the special care nursery.”
