Well, our NICU journey has come to an end. We are at home. I cannot believe that this day has already arrived. Time has flown by.
Maddie is doing very well. She is home on a monitor and we will have home nursing care twice a week for the next two weeks. I know that I should sound more excited, and don't get me wrong. We are so happy she is here. But also terrified! We have left the security of the NICU. The security of having doctors and nurses right there in case anything went wrong. Of having all the tools necessary for anything that might come up. Now we must face these challenges on our own. They say that these feelings are normal and that within a few weeks will subside. I hope they are right.
Keep praying for us. Pray for peace for Jeff and I, pray for Maddie's health, that she continues to do well.
Thank you.

Hey Guys, The first night is the absolute scariest. It is scary for anyone, but especially those of us that have had to deal with the NICU. Every sound she or that machine make will have you up and freaked out. If she seems too still while she is sleeping later on you'll want to shake check her just to "make sure." I went through all of this when we brought my daughter home. It is scary, but she will be fine. I will keep praying for you all and again, let me know what I can do to help!
