We will now only be feeding Kelly with the bottle twice a day. She is having a hard time with reflex, so they don't really want her to work hard to eat and then throw everything back up. So it is g-tube feedings for now. They did take the nutrition she was receiving through her iv away. This is sweet for us because there is not as much stuff to handle when we pick her up. The line is still in her neck, in case we need to go back to it. But for now we are enjoying less stuff hanging off her.
Bill came to the hospital early so he could spend a little time with just Kelly. I was able to have a few minutes with just the girls, playing outside for a while. Then after some lunch Bill and the girls were off to home. It is hard to have them leave but I know they need to be home having some normal days too. Someday we will look back on this time and it will only be a memory.
A sweet picture of a daddy and his baby girl.
Jennifer of course needed to hold Kelly one more time before she left.
Jennifer thought it was pretty funny to copy what Kelly was doing, which is why her hand is in a fist in front of her face.
Mikayla sat and read a book before it was time to go. She was one tired little girl after a busy weekend.
One last good-bye to the baby sister, until they return next time....

So glad Mikayla did so well this weekend! It is very sweet to see so many pictures of Jennifer holding her new sister! Sure it was hard to have everyone leave and start another Monday at the hospital, but you are right, one day this will just be a memory! Let us know if there is anything we can do! Glad Kelly is still doing so good!
