Kayla had a great day today! Mike and I went to see her around 1pm, Jojo visited her today and bought Kayla her first preemie outfit. We later found out from the dr that Kayla's heart vessel had closed!! Answered prayer, they say they hope it will stay closed so that is our prayer now. Sometimes they can re-open if they are really stressed or not feeling well, so we are trying to just let Kayla get all the rest she can. Because Kayla's heart vessel had closed they started to give little breast milk feeds through her feeding tube again. She will get 1cc (very little amount) every six hours and see how she takes it for the rest of the day. When we were there they tried to do one of her tube feedings and the tube was clogged with mucus they had to put a new tube in. That was such a weird thing to watch they just put this small tube down through her nose and continue to push it down down and down, Kayla did so well while they were doing that I can't imagine what that would feel like. They also had to take her blood today for the chromosome level test to see if her back issue was genetic or not. They had already sent in one sample but I guess it wasn't enough so they are needing to send in another sample. Kayla had to be pricked twice I was holding on to her hand with my finger in Kayla's hand, she squeezed my finger when they put the needle in. I just felt like Kayla's mom when they were doing that to her, I was telling her how well she was doing while they were taking her blood. I just loved being there for her while she had to go through the whole process. Mike got to do Kayla's diaper today and take her temperature he did so well, it's hard to do when they are so small and have all those wires attached to them. Kayla also got a wonderful visit from her honorary grandma Jan who loved seeing Kayla little hands, little fingers, and little feet. It was a great day for Kayla today, we told the doctor it would be great to get news like this every day! :)
