"It always looks worst than it really is."
Carson just has a few things going on with his breathing right now. They said he was 'grunting' every so often. So they put him in the Transition Nursery for 6 hours after his birth, so he could be monitored. His breathing did get much better, but not great.
So at 3:00am they put him in the Special Care Nursery. In here he got a IV, and many more of those leads to monitor him even more. Also had some x-rays of his lungs taken. They saw some fluid and a few air bubbles in there. Over the last 12 hours in Special Care Nursery he has gotten a lot better. The fluid in his lungs has gone down, as well as the air bubbles too.
His bilirubin (jaundice) count is a little high though. So that's why they have him under the "Lights" with these cool shades on. He has been poo-pooin' and pee-peein' just fine from his IV food. He just hasn't had a full meal yet of formula or breast milk. Jill gets to try and feed him this evening. Hopefully he eats well. This will help with the jaundice too.

Many of mine had this problem and they are all fine. TTP is what I think they called it. That and the jaundice is very common with C-sections and my kids are all fine, normal not so much but very healthy;). He looks great!
Congratulations to all the Parkers! The pictures are great and the Berkowitz Family sends love and prayers!
