Delivery Details

For those of you who may not know, Makayla has not been able to leave the nursery yet. During labor she swallowed meconium and therefore did not have the normal delivery process. Right away a team of nurses took her and began suctioning out stuff out of her throat and nostrils. They had to do this before she took a breath and got it into her lungs. She was given some oxygen for a while to help her breathe a little better and has been on an IV for fluids. Because of being on oxygen, Scott and I did not get to hold her until 4:30 pm Wednesday. Dr. Wolfe seems confident she is a fine healthy girl, she justs has had trouble keeping down her feeds. She spits up a lot, which is good, she is getting the rest of the stuff out she swallowed. She looks great, good color, healthy lungs, and loves to be held. Scott and I can't wait until we can bring her to our room and show her off to everyone. That should be in a day or two. We love the nurses and know they are taking great care of her.
