April received 2 units of blood through the night. She seems to be feeling better. I am getting ready to go get some breakfast. She had french toast sticks and bacon.
Her creatnine was up to 3.4 from 2.9. What that means is that her kidneys are not working the way they are supposed to. Dr. Assaley called a nephrologist (kidney dr.) to come see her. He said it was to early to tell. Her system was still out of kilter from the pregnancy but he wanted to see her after she had healed up.
We have been up to the NICU to see Kylee twice so far and she is dong very well. They are trying to get her off the IV fluids. They have increased her feeding through the tube.
After our first visit April was able to come down and take a shower with my help. Then we went back to the NICU. We were only able to stay for about 30 minutes, April was getting really tired so I brought her back down and got her in the bed to rest. We are planning to go back up so April can hold her around 4:30. She may be able to feed her too.
Kylee has really thick, curly, dark hair. I joked and said that she has enough hair for pigtails. Her color is really good. The CPAP machine is on and off. It seems that she needs it more after she eats because she gets tired and stressed.
Ayden visited today with Will, Pam, and Nanny Eadris. It was good to see her. She and I went to the gift shop while the rest went up to visit and April could feed Kylee. We bought a bunny that came with markers and you could color it. We came back to the room and she sat in my lap and we took turns coloring it. I really had a great time. Ty and Jaime Harmon visited, it was good to see friends. I took them up to see Kylee and was a the proud poppa showing her off and telling all about her life up to this point.
April is doing really well. The doctor told her that he thought that The kidney problems she was having was due to having such a low blood pressure for such a long period. He thinks that it is just a matter of time until her blood work is back to normal.
Kylee is doing well too. She is still on and off of the CPAP machine. However, she is off of the IV fluids. If I haven't mentioned this before, she is beautiful. She has dark curly hair and eyes so blue they are violet. We will probably be here until Monday or Tuesday. I'm not sure how long Kylee will have to stay in the NICU. The nurse today said if she kept improving like she had probably a couple more days. We'll just have to wait and see. I'm not hurrying anything.
