Heyborne's Visit

The hospital had very strict rules about kids visiting. No one under the age of 16 is allowed, even to the healthy kids in the regular nursery. This killed Elise's cousins who wanted so badly to come see her. It's better this way I think though. They didn't need to see her with the tubes in her. This was a lot of fun to just chill in our apartment and let them hold her and see her. Although she isn't very entertaining yet.

We are jealous of her massage chair. We want one.

rough starts

After a hard four days, Elise and Kimi and Ryan get to go home. Kimi went in for a c section Saturday because the baby was too big to be delivered naturally. (I apparently can grow "One healthy ambilical cord!") Elise went straight to the NICU because of breathing complications and low blood sugar. She had to stay in a oxygen tent that covered her face and kept the air she was breathing more oxygenated as she needed it. She looked like a little astronaut in training. We weren't for sure that she would be able to come home with Kimi because after she was taken off her IV's for her low blood sugar she kind of jaundiced a bit. We get to take her home but we have an appointment tomorrow to see if she needs the baby tanning bed. Oh well, at least she got to come home! We were very excited. Here's a picture of her enjoying her ride home.
