Madison Marie Hinchey on October 15, 2008 at 11:09 am. She was born at 24 weeks and six days. She weighed 1 lb. 7.9 oz. She was 30 centimeters long, so that is about 11 inches.
she was born, she was hooked up to oxygen to help her breathe. By the next night, she was needing the least amount of support possible for breathing.
After she was born, no one heard anything from the doctors for probably five hours. Finally that night, Jeremy was able to take up the family that had come down, and we all got to see her. Kara got to go up later that night. Since she had a C-section, the doctors didn't want her getting up too soon. At this point, everyone was so exhausted, and I think Kara and Jeremy were just relieved to know Madison was doing as well as she could be.
Madison is very active too. She is always moving her arms and legs, and likes to play with all the tubes and wires that are connected to her.
Saturday, the doctors started feeding her breast milk every
few hours. Kara has also been able to change her diapers
and take her temperature if she is visiting at changing time.
This blog is a wonderful idea Amanda, thank you for sharing the current news and updates for Madison and family to all of us our here that are thinking of them during this time.
