Hi everyone,
What a crazy week this has been. We are actually back in the NICU.
Monday night after a bottle Maddie began breathing really shallow, she took a big gasping breath and we looked at her. She had begun to turn blue. Patting her on the back and other stimulation would not bring her back and I ended up having to do CPR. It only took about 1-2 minutes but she began to pink up and breathe well on her own. We were staff-flighted to Kosair and after 2 minutes in the ER she was off of all O2 and looking like her old self again. They admitted us to the NICU (only the 2nd baby in 7 years to return, rather than go to the PICU) for observation and we are still there. She will probably be there for another few days. We've been working with speech therapy and a lactation consultant to see if we can remedy this problem and hopefully have no more repeat episodes.
She has done well all week and we are beginning to calm down and feel a little better about the whole situation.
Please keep us in your prayers that she will grow stronger and bigger and when she does come home again will be able to stay there.
Thank you!

Lindsey and family,
I heard from Louann a little about this on Thursday. I know this shook you all up. I can never imagine what you went thru. As you know we are still keeping you all in our prayers.
Just think little Maddie is being a handful now, what do you think the terrible two's and the teen years will be like? Ha Ha She is just keeping you all on your toes.
please let me know what I can do to help, if there is anything.
Just thinking of you all,Janette
