Ella was taken from us only 2 hours after being born and put in the NICU. Because my waters had been broken for 27 hours when she was finally born and the fact that her white blood cell count was elevated, they put her in the NICU as a precaution. She spent a total of only 5 days there, but those 5 days seemed like a lifetime for us. We visited her as often as possible while we were still in the hospital and drove back to see her even after we had left. Seeing her hooked up to so many machines and monitors was scary, but we were very lucky. She ended up only with a bout of jaundice and nothing more.
