Today was Kirk's birthday. We celebrated with a dinner of Beau Jo's pizza and carrot cake (two of Daddy's favorites!), along with Caley's Grandma Nancy, Uncle Josh, Aunt Shelley, and cousins Dade and Dani. Then it was off to the hospital to visit Caley.
She had a pretty good day. She hasn't needed to go back on the ventilator yet, so hopefully her lungs are continuing to get stronger. Her glucose levels have been a little high in the last day, so the doctors are working on trying to balance out her fluid levels. And they've started doing "trophic feeds" - getting her little body ready to hopefully start nutritive feeds in a few days.
Marie also held Caley again today, though not for very long. The advice of holding her only every other day for now is probably wise - Caley didn't seem quite as comfortable today.
We also saw Dr. Parker this evening, who is Caley's current attending neonatologist. He helped to deliver Caley (though Marie has no memory of him), and transferred her to Children's. It was nice to get a download from him and hear him say that she's "doing okay."
Keep praying for strong lungs, good feedings, and for Caley to open those pretty eyes!
