Poor McKenna

Poor McKenna. She is still having problems with her heart. Heart drops and sat drops yesterday and today she is having more sat drops. We are so sad for her and praying that it will correct itself soon!

McKenna is all by herself now at the hospital and that is really hard for daddy and mommy. We are taking turns visiting her while the other one watches Keaton, but you can't help but feel sad for her being there by herself and knowing that Keaton is at home and we can hold him any time. Praying that she has God's love and comfort surrounding her and that she can't feel the loneliness.

She had her feeding tube taken out this afternoon. Hopefully they won't have to put it back in her again. She isn't gaining weight this week which is nerve racking but hopefully tonight we will see a jump. She should have a weight gain from the blood transfusion if nothing else.

As for Keaton, he has his mornings and nights mixed up. He is exhausted all day, sleeps well and quietly and hardly can keep his eyes open for eating. At night he is wide awake, eyes open and looking around, and grunts non stop. We are trying to keep him up after his day feedings to see if then he will be a little more sleepy at night. So far we can't get him to stay awake THROUGH the feeding so to get him to stay awake after? Seems impossible.

We are glad to have our son home though. It's so nice to be able to hold him whenever we want, however long we want, and to finally be his parents.
