Today is our sixtieth day in the hospital and we’re inching towards the exit.
Kinley is now more than twice her birth weight at 2163 grams. She’s been steadily gaining for four days now. It looks like she’ll be close to five pounds when we are finally heading home.
The report from her Thursday night MRI has been written, but we haven’t been able to speak to a doctor about it yet.
We’ve opted to get her two month immunizations in the hospital. Generally, pediatrician’s give all five in the same visit, which can be rough on a baby as small as Kinley. In the NICU, they administer only one immunization per day to allow them time to rest and recover. Kinley is doing well so far. She actually fussed more today when being given her liquid Tylenol — to help with the discomfort and any fever — than she did when the nurse gave her her shot.
