I forgot the coolest part of the Cannon story (other than he is wonderfully okay). The midwife and Dr had the placenta bioposied after his delivery. The next A.M. the midwife came to my room and told me, "Well, you aren't going to believe this, but scar tissue saved the baby's life. Where the placenta had torn it eventually readhered to the uterine wall with scar tissue from the tears. So what veins, etc from the placenta that were carrying oxygen and essentials to Cannon were maintained by the torn part's scar tissue readhering and supporting the weight of the placenta". Super cool, but weird answer to prayer, Huh? And Jewel was born early and not breathing, but they nurses revived her with a shot and other things and she is okay now too. so we are blessed.
