Lexey Christine Martin

TO those who may not know yet; Brian and Kimberly Martin have had their baby. She was born May 14, 2008 at 4:08 PM. Kim had an emergency ceasection. She had not been sleeping and had a constant stomach pain and so she went into the doctor. They found calcium in her urine and she had high blood pressure. The doctor told her that she needed to get to the hospital immediately. Kim was only 28 weeks along. After a struggle, Lexey was born. The doctor had to give her heart compressions. Brian, Kim's dad Darrell and I (Sarah) got to go into the NICU and see the baby as they were hooking her to the machines and getting her into the incubator. The doctors worked on KIm some more and we were left waiting to hear about her. Dr. Leavitt came out and told us that Kim had toximia and preclampsia and that Lexey had been in distress. Kim came out of surgery drowsy but okay. The doctors warned the family that everyday would be a struggle and there would be good and bad news all the time. This all happened on Wednesday.
