School

We are busy getting ready for school to start. Of course we have a 1st grader in the house now. She was excited for her open house and got to meet her new first grade teacher. :)

We also have a preschooler in our midst. Olivia will start her first year at preschool and she was excited for her open house and to meet her teachers.

My big girls are growing up way too fast.

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.
