We spoke to Kinley’s neonatologist this afternoon. He says she is doing fine and acting appropriate. He thought she handled her shots over the past few days very well. So well that he’s updated her order so that she’ll get both of her last two shots tonight. Her second time on ad lib is going better — eating more and gaining weight. She’ll be eligible to go home tomorrow.
We also discussed her head MRI at length.
It showed evidence of her past bleed. The radiologist could see where the ventricle had been swollen and some remnants of blood. But, it is resolving itself as it should.
The grey matter appears normal. A sigh of a relief.
There were signs of mild injury to the white matter, which is involved in motor control. Our doctor said it is difficult to say what this could mean. We’ll have to keep a close eye on her development, especially when it comes to crawling and fine motor development.
