Um, I have to step in here. Not to villify, but I know that after the birth of all three of my younger kids, I felt great. Perfect on top of the world...so on. I mean, we're talking, kid is born and I get up, use the bathroom, get dressed and go down for a cigarette (I never get to hold mine as soon as they are born, somehting always goes wrong.)
As far as making decisions, I immdiately got on my cell and went back to work. No issues whatsoever, clear-headed all the way. I think that at least physically speaking, the mother would have had to have been just fine. At least good enough to walk. The reports say less than a day and the interview with the one that found him says it was the height of the storm.
I am betting that it was the mother that left him, and that means that she was up and walking around, carrying an over 7 pound infant, in the snow. Even if he was born in a nearby car, that means getting out, and walking at least few feet to lay him down, don't forget redressing herself somewhere in there, and apparently cleaning him off.
I have my doubts that this was some shrinking violet teen. I have a feeling this isn't even necessarily a first baby. And I have no concerns about the mother. If it was her that left the baby, she is physically fine. Or at least she was at the time. I have a feeling that she had him quietly at home, cleaned up, cleaned him up, wrapped him up in something that wouldn't be missed, slipped through the little tree line there and left him at the nearest place, as fast as she could before she was seen.
Chicana, I wasn't trying to negate anyone's experience. What I'm getting at is that in this case, IF it was the mother that left him, she is in decent shape, or at least was immediately after having him. She was walking, she was capable of lifting light people, she was capable of at least semi-clear thought. That's what I was getting at.
And since the hospitals are likely on high alert, chances are that she hasn't attempted to seek medical help, all of which is comforting to me as to the mother's condition.
the fact she's in decent condition also means it will be harder to track her down.
unless she flaps her gums to someone
I didn't think you were, you just made me reminisce about my painful first delivery and I took the opportunity to share.
Gosh, you were supposed to feel sorry for me. I was fishing for a little sympathy and a few aww, poor chicana's :crazy
I think the mom's ok too, but I don't think she acted alone.
I'm just so happy the baby's ok, it's not our usual ending here.
