NICU Stay

In all we spent 20 days in the NICU. 2 weeks of those were after her heart cath while she learned to eat. Lyla struggled learning how to suck, swallow and breath all at the same time. She would often choke and not be able to catch her breath afterwards.

Lyla struggles with being breast fed as it is a lot of work for a baby and she didn't have the stamina to go for longer than 5 minutes. So, I decided that she could be introduced to the bottle. She still struggled taking the bottle in the hospital.



We were released from the hospital on December 23, 2015! IT was a Christmas miracle! We decided to surprise all of our family and show up for Christmas dinner.

All geared up and ready to go home.
