Great news today! Kaitlyn went home last night. She was discharged early yesterday morning under the agreement that she would drink 4 oz of milk before hand. She had difficulty getting down the 4oz, it took her until 2pm and then the doctor said it took her too long so she needed to get down another 4oz in a shorter amount of time before they let her go, if she couldn’t, they were going to try the IV route again. This must have evoked fear in her little ears because she downed 5 ½ oz in the next couple of hours and was released at 6:30pm to everyone’s relief. She has been given an oral dosage of medication for the next few days and Angela has been given strict orders that if anything seems unusual or problematic she is to head right back into the hospital with the baby. We pray this is the end of it for her.
We ask that when you think of Kaitlyn you pray that when she goes for further tests (aprox. 3 weeks) on her kidneys to ensure they are functioning properly and that this was just a strange occurrence in a child this young, that the doctors will have wisdom and direction.
Again, thank you for all of your prayers, it has been a difficult week to say the least but Angela assures me Kaitlyn is smiling and giggling again and seems to be on the mend as she settles back into life at home. I attached a couple of pics of our dollie so you’ll be able to put a face to all the prayers. Again, thank you. What a blessing it is to know that body of Christ comes together to pray for God’s little ones AND their families during difficult times.
