Overnight, Kinley was able to be weened off most, but not all, of her breathing assistance. She’s also started getting a little milk, which seems to be agreeing with her.
I was able to visit Kinley for another one of her hands on sessions today. She wasn’t the least bit impressed with the disruption to her slumber. She didn’t terribly mind getting cleaned, but she kicked her legs when the nurse moved her oxygen monitor and tried to push the nurse’s hand away while she got changed. Although it was difficult to see and hear her cry, I found her feistiness more adorable than anything.
Later in the day she did have a bit of an episode and needed to be calmed down with a little sedation and pain medication.
