In the NICU

Sadie's in the Newborn Intensive Care Unit (NICU) and will be there for a while. Aedan was born a bit later but had more issues and he stayed for 20 days. Sadie will be in the NICU for at least that long but we are prepared for a month or a little more. They really don't like to estimate with the NICU babies. She's doing well for a premie. She has some respitory issues and is forgetting to breathe every once in a while. Because of this, she has a CPAP. That's a tube that feeds air and oxygen into her nose with a bit of pressure. She'll have that today and it will be removed when she starts breathing normally.
