Last night Kaydence graduated from the North Hall to the South Hall! Apparently in the Baylor NICU that is a big deal! Her room is darker, quieter, and has bigger babies in it. She has had some little issues that aren't so great. For example, she has had some really runny diapers and her bottom had a few issues, but that has been corrected. Kaydence is also still working on breathing more efficiently, and is doing well. She is also learning to take a pacifier and a bottle SLOWLY, but I think we were expecting that to take a little while anyway. Like I said, they are little issues and these aren't anything we can't handle!
The nurses up here are absolutely wonderful. I firmly believe that God calls us all to a special purpose, but NICU nurses are truly angels. These people are patient, loving, and kind hearted in a way I just cannot describe. I am appreciative of these people, as I am of all medical professionals. I don't think I could ever work in the medical field, but I am glad God made people who do!
We also spent some time with our big kids yesterday. Wade still isn't happy with not being able to hold his baby sister. We have assured him that once she comes home, he will get plenty of sister time. So much in fact, he is probably going to wish he didn't have so much time. I have to admit that I was just exhausted after my parents came and got them, but boy do I love being exhausted by them. I wonder what life was like before I had kids as I just cannot remember.
I ask that you still be in prayer for Kaydence's wellness, for her brain to develop correctly and her to have all of her senses and free of seizures as she grows. Also pray for her lungs, heart, liver and spleen to function correctly and efficiently. And praise God for her wellness thus far! Our little family appreciates all of your prayers and thoughts. You never really understand the support system you have until you realize you need it!
