Sweet Macy Arrives

Our little sweet Macy Lou Hughes arrived on Dec 31 at 12:06 am. She weighed 6'7 and was 20 in long with tons of hair.





She is oury little angel. She gave us all a scare but is absolutely perfect. When Macy was born it was quite traumatic for her. She was pure white and covered in blood. My cord to her was completely dry and my placenta had burst during delivery. Macy was worked on by the specialist for about 20 mins before I could hold her.

















She made a quick recovery and was absolutely perfect. Macy had low blood sugar and blood platelets. Macy and Dad went to the nicu for a few hours then we were able to all sleep together it was a wonderful night. We were missing Marlee and so excited for them to finally meet. The next morning the Nicu dr said he needed to take Macy back until her blood sugars leveled out. We were so sad but didn't think things were going to go bad like they did in a hurry . The next few days were the scariest days of our lives.









Macy went from low blood sugars to having seziure like symptoms having brain monitors put on her and many more test done to figure out what was going wrong with her. We were hopeful but the drs and nurses weren't sure what was going wrong. Macy received a priesthood blessing from Dad . Uncle Cody and Uncle Danny were also there. We are so thankful for the power of the priesthood. Later that night Macy was given seizure medicine after she had three more episodes. She became very lethargic but didn't have any more episodes. Macy continued to get all types of test and got needles placed in her head to scan her brain. It was so sad to watch her and not be able to cuddle her like we wanted to.Macy was such a trooper and began to slowly recover. She slowly came off all medicine and nursed really well.

















. She was then taken out of Nicu and into our room. It was a miracle. She did so well. The next day the Dr came into check her and said it would be a crime to keep her in the hospital she is as alert a 1 month old. Macy has been so perfect in everyway.























She scared us to death but we are forever grateful that she made a full recovery. It has been so wonderful being all together as a family. Marlee loves Macy but hits her occasionally and gets quite jealous.











We are so lucky to have our miracle babies. We love u Marlee and Macy forever and ever.
