Another 24 Hours

Kimberly just called and informed me that McKenna will not be released today as we planned. She ended up losing 2 oz yesterday which for a baby that only weighs 4 lbs 13oz, that is big! Doctors are going to proceed with another transfusion as I type. This is her third and hopefully last. You always wonder if the blood they are putting into your child is free and clear of impurities, yes, I know they run special screens, but the thoughts still cross your mind. Hopefully this transfusion will give her more energy so that she can stay awake during her feedings and actually eat the amount she needs to in order to gain weight.
