Another week has gone by and Kennedy is a little bigger and a little closer to coming home. She is up to 5 lbs. 10 ozs. and measures in at 18 inches long. She has been doing well with her feedings and on Thursday (24th) they started to up her feeds a full CC per hour rather than a half CC every other day. She now is at 7 CC's per hour continuous through her feeding tube (goes directly into her lower bowel). She is still on the NIPPV but they started lowering her settings in hopes to wean her down to the CPAP. She is getting to be a lil chunker. She has adorable little rolls on her thighs and neck!! Her eyes are still blue, but a little darker than mine. Her hair is eithier blonde or light brown depending on the light. Shawn is trying cut gas costs and miles on the car (not to mention the physical aspect) so he is only coming down Thursday through Sunday. It makes for a lonely 3 days, but it also makes me look forward to Thursdays so much more. Thanks to some very generous donations we will be able to stay in the R.M.H. through the end of August. Hopefully Kennedy will come home around then or before.
Thank you everyone for all their love and support.
