Joshua Dean Yeager was born unexpectedly June 5th at 4:05 a.m. at twenty-five and a half weeks. At birth, he weighed 2.2 pounds and was 14 inches long.
Early morning on June 5th, Becky woke up and was not feeling well. She and Evan decided to go the the hospital to check things out. Thankfully they went quickly, because by the time they made it to the hospital the birth proceeded rapidly.
The doctors are still determining the cause of the pre-term labor, but we are all relieved that Becky is doing fine and was even able to leave the hospital this afternoon, just hours after the birth.
While Becky was recovering, Evan went with Joshua to St. Joseph's hospital in Denver, which is home to the best NICU in the state. Shortly after he arrived, Joshua was able to be removed from the ventilator and is now breathing on his own with the assistance of a CPAP (continuous positive airway pressure) machine.
Evan's parents, Harris and Danielle, were able to quickly lend their support to Becky and Evan with Harris going down to Denver with Evan and Danielle supporting Becky at the hospital. By early evening, Becky and Evan were able to go together to visit Joshua in Denver.
