We are home for good now (hopefully). Mae ended up back in ICU after we brought her home when she stopped breathing our first night at about 4:00AM. Luckily I was up after just having fed her when it happened and both me and Coby were able to get her breathing again. It was really scary for mom & dad and a HORRIBLE experience with the hospital not really knowing what they were doing (I literally about had a breakdown), but she is doing great now! They kept her in the hospital to make sure she didn't have an infection, and thankfully, she did not. The docs diagnosed it as ALTE-- an Apparent Life Threatening Event, that happens for some unknown reason. They have sent us home with a monitor she wears at night that will alert us if she has another episode, but she is healthy and the docs are sure we will have no more problems--THANK GOODNESS! Here's some more pics of her so far, and some from her ICU stay (so sad)... but yes, she really is this cute!

ICU STAY

Poor girl, so swollen from the IVs


She had pokes all over her body





FINALLY leaving the hospital for good!

We are so grateful for all the support our wonderful friends and family gave us during this stressful time! We are so relieved to have a healthy baby! She is loved by so many!
