Monday was a day six and a half months in the making for Tim and Brooke Mead, of Niles, as they could bring home their first child, Audrey, from Memorial Hospital in South Bend, Indiana.“It’s amazing to see her wiggling around so much and making all these noises. The progress that she’s made is just incredible,” Tim Mead said.
The Meads welcomed Audrey almost four months early due to her mother suffering from preeclampsia, a severe pregnancy complication,“If you look at our statistics from the National Institute of Child Health, they’re not even numbers for 300 gram babies,” said Dr. Basharat Buchh, Audrey’s NICU doctor. “Babies born at that early gestation, if they don’t...do well, they tell us right away in the first few days of life.”“Honestly, I prayed every day.
