Friday in Maycee land


Beautiful Maycee


laying on her tummy being comforted by Mom



Today was the best day of Maycee's life. Granted it wasn't hard to improve on the previous three days. Darcy and I went to the NICU today quite nervous due to leaving last nights with all of her important levels a bit high. When we walked in she was on her tummy for the first time and was tolerating it quite well and they had even started to reduce the amount of one of her blood pressure medicines. This was such a huge relief for us as we had already tried to prepare for another emotional roller coaster ride but I am not sure we could have done another one. Maycee continued to generally improve throughout the day and by 8:00 pm when we left she was off of one of her medicines completely. Thi is a small step toward her overall recovery but a huge emotional boost for Darcy and I.
It is impossible to describe all of the different feelings we have been through each day and I am not sure that I would even want to. I am so thankful for all of the thoughts and prayers from everyone and can't wait until we can bring Maycee home to meet her siblings.

OH what a roller coaster it is!!!! I know exactly how you are feeling. I wish you didn't have to go through it but the little girl will never be taken for granted!!! What a strong little girl she sounds like. Strong enough to fight her way through it. Hang it there.
