Another busy day for Mike and I today. Mike's grandma Knauff is in town for this next week and he wanted to spend as much time as he could with her. So with him having Monday off, we went up to Ft. Collins with our nephews to hang out with Uncle Randy and Grandma Knauff. We decided to take the boys to a fun park near Uncle Randy's house, it had a splash park and two different sections for different ages. Very, very cool park, although it was sprinkling a lot though out the afternoon we still enjoyed our visit. Mike and I planned to go see Kayla at 6p, we found out this morning that Kayla will be getting almost all her tests today. They had her head, kidney and skeletal all ordered for the day. So I wanted to call day nurse to let her know I wouldn't be in for Kayla's 3p cares today. I had asked if she had received her tests yet and she had gotten them all done already. We haven't received the results yet but Naydene, Kayla's day nurse said it all went really well. They even had to take Kayla downstairs for her skeletal x-ray, but Kayla did very well with her travels. Kayla had also had two bottles that morning as well so it has been a very busy day for her. Mike and I left at 4:15p to make it down for Kayla's 6p cares, the highway was great and we got off the highway at 5:06p thinking we would make great time. But getting off the highway to dropping off the boys took us an hour and a half. We later found out about the Dakota ridge fire up by C-470 and Morrison. (That's very close to my parents house.) But because of this we were not able to make it in to see Kayla for her 6p cares either. I called yet again and talked to Naydene she had tube feed Kayla at 3p thinking we would be in for the 6p feed. So she said she would let Kayla wait for us for the 9p, Mike had a double header for softball at 8:15p and 9:15p. So I went in for Kayla's 9p feed, Mom was there as well. Kayla tried breast feeding but Kayla was pretty tired and didn't stay latched for very long. She did take a bottle after and had about 20cc's, but she had had a pretty big day so I didn't ask to much from her. While we were waiting for Mike to come, Rose one of Kayla's nurse practitioner showed us Kayla's ultrasound and xray pictures. We have results for the xray and they had the same results as before, Kayla has less ribs than most, with 10 on one side and 11 on the other. She has a clustered spine, what they saw in her first xrays. Then they also talked about the neck vertibre being shorter and longer than the average. News that we already know but the xray was needed to make sure the bones had not gotten worse in those areas. Then they wanted to look and see if her leg, arm, etc bones were growing correctly and I am happy to report that they are. So we have a healthy growing girl with some issues that will not effect her growth it just may limit her in the sporting world. We will follow up and get more detailed results as she grows and starts to get mobile. But at this point this is great results, we won't hear about the ultrasound results until tomorrow morning. Mike finally came to get his Kayla time for the day, she is 5lbs 7oz now and just doing wonderfully.
