Update........

Sorry for the late post. Alexa finally came home on June 22nd after a week stay in the NICU and a 2 week stay in the special care unit. I thank God for the doctors and nurses who participated in Alex'a care. Alexa had a follow up with her peditrician on June 25th and she weighed 7lbs and 6.5oz and was 20 inches long. She received a clean bill of health. Alexa is now 6 weeks old and is such a blessing to Rob and I. We are still having trouble getting her to nipple a bottle and she occasionally forgets to breathe while she is eating so these are the issues we are dealing with right now.
