Pediatrian Appointments

Kaidence had her first follow-up appointment yesterday. She weighed in at 8# 14 oz! Everything is looking good except her little belly button just won't close up. They cauterized it yesterday. And this morning it didn't look any better. So Nicole called the doc back and returned to the office, only for them to have to cauterize her again today. Poor little Kaidence has decided that she doesn't like her belly touched or messed with. I can't say that I blame her!

She has been discharged!

Kaidence has been discharged from the hospital and is on her way home! :)

Good News Today

Her renal function tests came back normal! So the docs are thinking that she'll be ok and pass these on her own. They anticipate discharging her home possibly tomorrow or Thursday with a follow-up CT scan in a month, just to be sure. Meanwhile, she's still a happy little camper! :)

ANOTHER UPDATE: The docs say it will be this weekend before they can consider discharge because she still needs a few more days of IV antibiotics. Her IV line went down this morning; and nurses had to restart a new one in her little hand. She wasn't happy about that :(

Dye tests done today

Our little angel is doing well today and has crossed the 8 pound mark with her weight. So she continues to eat well and maintains a healthy appetite. She had her dye tests this morning, which made her none too happy. But within minutes later, she was back to her happy little self. For her tough, trooper attitude, along with her wonderfully serene temperament, we are truly blessed and grateful.
