Successful Transfusion

What a difference the blood transfusion has already made for McKenna! She was wide awake this morning, took her whole feeding and has her spunk back. We are thrilled to have our baby girl feeling a bit better. If she keeps up with this energy she will have her feeding tube taken back out before we know it. Doctor's predict she won't be home until 40-42 week gestation which means 4-6 more weeks for her in the hospital. Sad she will be away from Keaton so long and that Kyle and I will take turns seeing her, but glad that she is in good hands and the nurses will take good care of her.

Keaton is having his car seat test right now. To pass it he has to sit in a car seat without any sat or heart drops for at least one hour. If he doesn't pass the test he will be required to ride in a car bed until pediatrician says he is okay to ride in the seat.

Finally got the nursery cleaned up about thirty minutes ago. The bassinet is set up, diapers and wipes stocked (thanks girls for getting all those!!!), crib put together and milk supply overflowing in freezers (thanks grandma and grandpa Dana for the storage space). So, we are as ready as we will ever be and getting excited to bring our son home tomorrow. Until then though, we have a night with him in the hospital and an eye and ear test for Keaton today as well.

Thanks everyone for the prayers. Our tinys are having a good day.

I remember being so scared and wondering how I was going to care for Blake...God gives you the grace, patience, and intuition you need. you and kyle will be such loving parents to keaton...and when you visit mckenna you will have so many good stories to tell her about keaton!
