The End!

Madden was discharged from the NICU at around 2:45pm on Sunday December 18th.  Matt and I took an infant CPR class at 1:00, after which they allowed little Madden to be sent home with us to begin her new little life completely free of monitors.

The only thing doctors have asked us to be careful of, with this first flu season, is to try and keep Madden away from illness as much as possible.  Although her immune system is fine, if she was to catch a cold, her trachea may not handle the trauma as well.  And to think a week ago her doctor was suggesting possible surgeries she may have to undergo because her breathing was not progressing as well as he had hoped.

Thank you so much to everyone through out this past month of Madden's life.  Matt and I are definitely blessed to have such amazing family and friends!

Merry Christmas! :)  FROM MADDEN

P.S.  I will continue to add pictures of Madden throughout her first year, if you are ever interested, feel free to come back and check them out.
