Dear family and friends
On Friday May 27th 2011, at 1:22 PM I delivered a baby boy, we named him Fadhel. Two hours after baby Fadhel was born, we were told that there is a 50% chance of him being admitted to the NICU due to fluctuations in his blood oxygen level, he was admitted to the NICU at 5 PM Friday.
At 10 his doctor informed us that he was diagnosed with PPHN. during the following day the doctor's tried different treatment methods that would work for few hours and then stop working.
Saturday evening, we were told that if baby Fadhel did not respond to the current treatment, the doctors will need to move him to the Children's Hospital of New Orleans, where they have more treatment options for his condition.
On Sunday morning at 7 AM, baby Fadhel was transferred to the Children's hospital, and at 2PM the doctors at Children's Hospital started the procedure of connecting him to a unit called ECMO, which is an artificial heart and lung machine.
Baby Fadhel has been on the ECMO since then, the machine is oxygenating his blood for him. He's been stable so far, all his labs, X-rays and ultrasounds are giving his doctors and us a reason to be optimistic.
It's been a very difficult time for us, baby Fadhel is not even a week old and he's been through so much already, we hope and pray to Allah SWT to make him better. And we "I personally" ask for your prayers as well.
Ya rab....

is that like fadhel like fadel shakir .. or is it fadel with an alef ..
anyway .. i hope he gets better and lives a long and healthy life inshala :)
what happened with your precious baby/
you know rare one of the nurses that took care of him was a father of a child who used to work in oil rigs. He told us his son was admitted to the NICU 30 years ago, and he was so inspired he went back to school and became an NICU nurse and he was very understanding.
He bares a scar on his neck I call it his medal of honor, o allah ywaf2oh sho ma 7ab ykoon, I'm already proud of him and I cannot be any prouder.
Jundi yes Fadhel as in Fadhel shaker :D and Alfadhel ben abbas and my uncle Fadhel who is very dear to my heart. We didn't pick the one with Alef because it's used in the arbituaries.
Anonymous I posted updates I hope you read them and thank you so much for your concern.
