Small Backwards Step
Today was a down day for baby Kaidyn. The tape that holds her cannula in her nose caused breakdown of the skin on her cheeks. Because of this, she had to get an IV and was put on antibiotics to make sure there is no infection. She is up on her oxygen need and roller coasters with her saturations through out the day. They did blood test and cultures of her skin to make sure there is no infection on her cheeks from the breakdown. We will get the results in a few days. It has just been hard for her with so much happening all at once. It makes it hard to pinpoint what exactly is going on. I guess really its the combination of everything. She is really doing her breathing all on her own with no help (the steroids have been helping her a lot) so her adjustment will take time. On a good note, she is still eating well and digesting well. Her food intake has increased to 19mL every 3 hours. The doctor is pleased with her progress despite the above and he is especially pleased with how well she is eating. She has lost a little weight, she was 1000g on Tuesday, 990 on Wednesday, and 980 today, which is 2lb 2.57oz. Not much weight loss but still a loss. It probably comes from the medicine they gave her to release fluid after her blood transfusion. She is feeling out so much and I finally notice that she is getting bigger. She is starting to have a personality (one of a DIVA!!!) and moving around so much more. I don't see her as sick anymore which is such a nice feeling. Now I am just waiting for the day we get to go home.

ReplyDeleteContinuing to pray!
Psalm 34:6-9 This poor man cried, and the LORD heard him, and saved him out of all his troubles. The angel of the LORD encampeth round about them that fear him, and delivereth them. O taste and see that the LORD is good: blessed is the man that trusteth in him. O fear the LORD, ye his saints: for there is no want to them that fear him.

I am now part of the prayer warriors. Just call me Granny Diva! I am so thankful that all our prayers are being answered on a daily basis for Kaidyn. Continue to keep your faith in Him, as He will see you through it all.
ReplyDeleteStill here praying!
ReplyDeletePsalm 34:17-20 The righteous cry, and the LORD heareth, and delivereth them out of all their troubles. The LORD is nigh unto them that are of a broken heart; and saveth such as be of a contrite spirit. Many are the afflictions of the righteous: but the LORD delivereth him out of them all. He keepeth all his bones: not one of them is broken.
