Maycee Faith Swanson was born September 29, 2009 at 4:18 am weighing 7lbs 9ounces. She is 37 weeks and 2 days. Upon delivery, Maycee was experiencing problems breathing. Ultimately, Maycee was placed on oxygen and more tests were run. Her lungs turned out to be that of a premeeies and she had to be medi-vacked to Anchorage to Providence Hospital and their NICU. The life flight team intibated her before she and Aaron took flight and she responded positively to the treatment before the flight and started have a much needed rest. Aaron and Maycee landed safely in Anchorage and she was checked into the NICU and immediately started improving. She is not out of the woods yet, and prayers are still needed, but we are very happy with her improvement.
Darcy is doing very well considering. She is healing quickly and preparing to drive up with me tomorrow to Anchorage to be with Maycee and Aaron. Maycee will be in the NICU for 3-7 more days. Thank you to all of you that have expressed your thoughts and concerns and volunteered to step in and help. The family is truly grateful for everyone's help, the gift of the priesthood, and the power of prayer.

OH Darcy I know exactly what you are going through. Nathan was in the NICU for a week after birth he immediately developed pneumonia and had to be intibated. My advice- make sure she has a picture of you guys in her isolette so she can see your whole family. Nathan would cry when they would mess with him and as soon as his head would turn to our picture he would stop crying no matter what they were doing to him. I don't know if you can be with her 24/7 and I wasn't able to so that brought peace to my mind when I knew he was alone. I will certainly keep you guys in my prayers!!! Nathan was just about the same age as her.
Oh man...our entire family is sending our prayers your way. Stay strong and know that you have support coming from thousands of miles away. Thanks for the update Bobbi!! Please keep us posted if you get the chance. Big hugs!!
Hello Dear Friends. We have all been praying for you since we got word yesterday that you were facing this challenge. We are so glad to hear that things are going as well as they are and wish we could take some of the burden for you. We sure do love you.
What a lucky baby to come to your eternal family! Hang in there. I hope things will be easier for you Darcy, now that you can be close to her.
Much love,
Krista Chadwick and family
