Here she is after she had been in the NICU for a few days. Her breathing had improved so they took away all the machines. All she has left is a feeding tube and IV.


It was very difficult traveling 30 miles back and forth to the hospital to see her everyday, especially since I was still recovering from the C-section. However, on October 8th I was readmitted to the hospital for a severe case of mastitis which was unfortunate except for the fact that now I was much closer to her. Finally on October 12th both Lyla and I were discharged. We were very excited to finally have our entire family home.

Here are some pictures Jessica Richards took for me. Lyla is 4 weeks old in these pictures and probably about 7 lbs by now.
