Little Miss Leah
My beautiful niece is doing better... 
she hasn’t had another seizure since they added the new anti-seizure meds. Leonard and Sarah went to some training for the monitor that will be coming home with her. It will keep track of her heartrate and resporitory functions. Her temperature is still a bit low - they’ve had her in an incubator to try and keep her warm. She’s really picking up the nursing thing 
L says she’s starting to recognize them and smile when they talk to her!!! And best of all, she’s probably coming home tomorrow or friday!
Her birth announcment was in the paper today. And I got the official birth announcement in the mailbox, too, with a picture. (Yes, S is really on top of this stuff and sent it out immediately!!) This isn’t the best version of the picture, since I just laid it on the floor and snapped a picture with my camera instead of uncovering the scanner to do it! It’ll do for now, though
First professional shot. She’s only 12 hours old here, and her daddy Leonard really liked this because she was looking at him.
I’ve had a big grin goin' on for much of the day with all these 
little Leah reminders (announcements, pictures, etc.) around me So hopefully that 
came through in my post!!

It’s good to hear she’s doing better though. Any word yet on what caused the seizures in the first place? Poor thing. It’s traumatic enough just being plucked from that cozy little nest she had going on in mommy’s tummy. It’s amazing any of us come out looking forward to life in the real world.

I’m sending good thoughts to all of y'all!

I’m glad to hear that she’s doing better. I can only imagine how scary it must be to have to medicate a new baby without really knowing what’s causing the seizures and to not be able to take her home right away.
She’s adorable! I really need to convince one of my friends to have a baby so I can get my baby fix!

I thought you meant she was starting to recognize the breasteses, but then I got confused when you said they talk to her.
I’m glad to hear she’s doing well. Proud papas are an amazing thing to behold. Men who love babies are so sexy.
