Updates....

Okay...where to start :-) Mackenzie was born at 1:56pm on Monday afternoon. She had a lot of trouble breathing when she came out so she was rushed to the N.I.C.U. and put on the ventilator. Her blood sugar was only 12 (normal is about 40), but they were not suprised by that because of the fact that I have diabetes. She was taken off the vent on Tuesday morning around 11, and has been breathing on her own since then. Her blood sugar has stabalized and she took her first feed today. She has a feeding tube in her mouth but hopefully that will come out soon. Long story short, so far so good. Mackenzie seems to be ajusting well, and mommy is catching up!!!

I'm glad you all are doing well. Especially Katie. Can't wait to meet Mackenzie and hold her.
She is beautiful and looks like Katie.

Mackenzie told me that she was really trying hard to grow and get stronger so that she could go home. I am so glad that things are going well for the Collins family. Keep praying, resting, preparing for this little girl to go home.
