Pretty Much the Same

There really haven't been any updates in the past two days. McKenna's tests all came back negative. They are keeping her off the meds for now, although she had a heart drop today and has been having more oxygen drops, so we won't be surprised if they put her back on it in a few days. Her heart rate remains high when awake or active.

McKenna's blood count is back down to the number it was during her last blood transfusion so we expect she will get another one soon. They are waiting to see if it goes back up on its own due to the iron vitamins they are giving her.

She weighed in tonight at 3 lb 7 oz and 16" long. Such a big girl. She is finally starting to fill out and looks adorable. She has piercing blue eyes that will steal anyone's heart. And she has been doing well with her feedings taking anywhere from 25 to 35 ml every three hours.

Keaton weighed 4 lb 8 oz tonight. He has been gaining weight each night, even if it is just grams, it is still a weight gain so we are happy about that. He is taking 35 to 50 ml every three hours and usually wakes up before his next feeding and is fishing around for a bottle. He chews on his hands and his blanket trying to get milk but it doesn't seem to provide it for him.

Tomorrow we are being trained on the home apnea monitor that Keaton will be sent home on. We are also doing the Infant CPR class tomorrow. Will be a busy day. We still anticipate him coming home this week though they haven't told us which day yet. We remain very anxious and nervous for this to happen. Seems like there is still so much we need to do before he gets here. We ordered the bassinets finally and they should be here tomorrow. The nursery still needs a few more things done to it before it's ready, but for the most part it is set up. Keaton's clothes are washed, we have diapers and wipes and all the bath supplies. I know we are forgetting something but I suppose we won't know what it is until we need it. Hahaha.

Thanks everyone for the prayers and continuing to check the updates. What a blessing to have prayer warriors. Love you all!
