Emergency!! Positioned wrong/Assisted hatching! Please help!

Probably around 4ish. So it only took him 3 hours from popping his head out. I checked on him at 5am and he had JUST scooted the shell off and took a nap. :) I'm so proud of him. He let us know that something was going on and that he needed help.
 
Now normally, I would NOT hatch an upside downer out this way, but he was SOOOO ready,,,, and since most of the shell was off where his head was, I knew it was going to be easy. Would he have busted out by himself, I doubt it. He was pretty crammed in there and the position that he was in, made it really hard for him to move about. But once you pulled that membrane down, Boom that's when you said, hes wiggling around. That's because we unconfined him and made it easier for him to escape.
 
How many more eggs are left and I thought I read something about you saying some of the eggs are bruised?? Can you show me a picture of that? Is it really bruised or could it be discoloring? If it's discoloring it could be a sign that the baby has died already OR it could be he's retaining to much water inside that shell..
