Kyleigh has done so well that they took the IV out today. It was so great to see her without her little hand all taped up to a tube. She also got a bath today. I was unable to be there during the bath because I had such a bad headache and needed the rest. The nurses have nicknamed her "Stinky" because in the past 24 hours she has had some major blow out diapers and they stink badly. It is a good thing she is a cutie because they don't mind changing her diapers, they just laugh and smile about it. We hope all of these poopies have helped bring down her billirubin count as it has risen to above 13 and is close to the number that would require her to have phototherapy. She passed her hearing screening today as well. Woohoo! She is making such great progress. The doctors' ordered an echocardiogram as a precautionary since she had one done while I was pregnant. We should get those results in the next day or so.
As I type Dennis is putting together Kaitlyn's biggest Christmas present- a new kitchen set. She is going to love it. I just hopes she appreciates the blisters that her daddy obtained while piecing it together. She was excited as we baked sugar cookies tonight for "Ho Ho" as she calls Santa Claus. She didn't want to go to bed but we told her Santa doesn't come unless you sleep through the night. She went off to sleep within a few minutes.
Here's to a soon to be eventful day tomorrow. Merry Christmas everyone!
