Sorry it's been so long since a post has been made. Subconsciously, I want to have something great to report, but one is always reminded that we still have so far to go. You want time to speed up, and yet, it's never seemed to go as slow as it has the last few weeks.
Yesterday we had a fright. Kiya completely quit breathing. She was revived with a "bag", and the rest of the day she was back to her little fighting self. Another miracle to add to the list, as the doctors were just making their rounds when Kiya needed help. Once again, how incredibly grateful we are for all the divine intervention and knowledgeable medical care on Kiya's behalf.
The staff at PCMC ascertained that attempts to wean Kiya off of the caffeine were premature. The caffeine was administered through I.V. again and Kiya perked up and made it without incident the rest of Thursday, and today.
After her feeding, Kiya was wide awake and staring at her Mom. Kiya always keeps her head turned in Kristen's direction when Kris talks. Some times it's hard not to think that you are looking at a three month old baby. (albeit a very small one), when you see Kiya respond.
Earlier this week, Kiya was up to 3 lbs 13 oz. It's most likely gone up from there. Kiya definitely prefers sleeping on her tummy. She hates sleeping on her back. All the nurses seem to know that too--(I guess she has a way of letting her wants known!)
Thank you again for all your prayers and concern.
We love you Kiya.
Grandma S.
