6 Days Old!!

I found a computer at the hospital I can use. All the babies are resting so I thought I would update quickly!!

Samantha, Bridgette and Madeline are all off the Photo Therapy lights. Teddy is back on. Getting back on is common, Samantha was taken off and then put back on, she should be done the other 2 girls may end up back on. Samantha, Teddy and Madeline are all getting Moms' milk. Bridgette may start on it tomorrow. Bridgette continues to have problems breathing so she was put back on the ventalator today. They also think she may have an infection, so they started antibiotics on her.

Please pray for all of the babies to continue to get strong. Extra prayers for Bridgette to strengthen her lungs and that the blood results for infection come back negative.

Madeline

Our sweet Madeline Jean, had 8 very good days in the NICU. By day 3 Maddie had moved to high flow nasal cannulas for breathing, she was taking feeds and as spunky as ever. On day 8 she became ill, her stomac became enlarged, she was critcal, on day 9 the Doctors took a look inside and found all of her intestines and half of her stomac had died. We had her baptised and held her, as soon as she was in my arms skin to skin with me, we removed her breathing assistance and let her go very quickly and peacefully. We would later find that the cause of her death was NEC (Necrotizing Entrocolitis). We feel blessed to have had her for 9 days.
