Assume the position. Saturday mornings means watching soccer with Daddy.

Just after this photo Grandma Alicia broke into song. I'm not kidding.

At the time it was just a cry. Now it is art.

A quiet moment.

Grandpa Bob and Granny Franny with Melanie

Grandpa's Larrry and Bob peer down at Melanie. $50 for the best caption that's not, "Where did she get all that hair?"

All bundled up for a walk with Grandpa.

More grandparents means more love! Here's Melanie enjoying a nap while Larry and Susan look on.

No pictures, please.

Alternate caption: Gotta keep reachin' for the stars.

Okay, one more photo. Then we eat.

Hope it works. We'd love to hear from you.

Having a baby around the house is hard work. Leaves you just... well, dog tired.

Tio Jimmy. That's Uncle Santiago to you gringos.

Don't drop the baby!

Swaddled and pacified.

It takes two to swaddle.

Melanie's coming home

A message from mom.

Hello! Thanks for the kind wishes...

Melanie was discharged last night!

She has laryngolmalacia -- flaccidity of laryngeal structures and tissues causing them to collapse into the airway, and possible acid reflex. Two no big deal thingees, but the cause of her sore throat and poor breathing. Now she is free! We were given a monitor for a month or so, but are so happy to have her home.

Sunday Update

Melanie is doing well. We've spent a lot of time at the hospital this weekend feeding, burping, changing diapers... parent stuff, I guess. Save for the surreal surroundings, it was almost a normal few days. If anything can be described as normal these days.

We spoke to the doctor today and he tells us that they are still unable to say exactly what is causing her "spells". Not much comfort in that. But she is doing much better and they are beginning to talk about sending her home soon. However, they may still want to do a few tests and/or re-run some tests in the next few days. As always, you'll know more when we do.

THANKS!!!!!
Jeremy & Laura

Shhhhh....

Eyes wide open

How cute is this?

Melanie had a good day yesterday. Laura and I visited her and got to hold her for a while. Her tests have all come back negative so far, and she even got to eat for the first time in days! So even though we still don't know the cause of her "episodes" and there are still tests to be run, we're hopeful.

Again, thanks to everyone for your concern. Keep checking back for more updates and more photos.
