So our plans have changed again!

Let me first say that your life in the hospital is never stable and never the same. Okay so yesterday the pedi came in and did some bw. Her blood levels are not where they would like them to be. So they are going to have to do a blood transfusion when she has her surgery. Then i noted she was a bit on the yellow side again and kinda pale. So they checked some more bw and one of the values was not good what that means i wont know till today when her pedi comes to round. Her pedi said yesterday that we might get transferred either this afternoon or tomorrow morning. We will have most of answers today around 4-5pm cst.
Kenadie will be getting the tube put in her belly after all. Her pedi thought no but her cardi said it is for the best so kenadie could have a chance to heal and not use all the calories on eating and what not. So whatever is for the best i am fine with.
Last night was a bit on the rough side as kenadie was throwing up yesterday frequently. She only peed out an oz so they were concerned about that. She got introduced to pedialyte. Let me tell you that is DISGUSTING STUFF! YUCK! I dont blame her for not drinking it.
Today ms kenadie got baptized by the chaplain. She had on a pretty little dress. My mom, Tammy our nurse, and I were there to witness it. The chaplain was quick about it and did a great job! We took some pics so when i find the time i will post a pic of her. Well i will update as soon as i know the whens, if, and what nots about everything.

Alisha, I don't always comment, but wanted you to know that you and Kenadie are constantly in my thoughts and prayers. You are going through the roughest thing a parent has to go through - I'm sending ppt for continued strength for you and health for Kenadie. (((((hugs))))

Hi Alisha: Like Christine, I have been thinking about you and Kenadie and the rest of your family quite often. Every night I pray that you are coping alright, that she is doing okay, and that she can continue to grow and get stronger.
How sweet, that she was baptised today! And even better, that your mom was there to witness that as well. I'm sure those are some really precious pictures.
I know the decision to put in a tube could not have been an easy one, but I know that you want whatever is best for her. Even if that means no b/f-ing and a blood transfusion.
I can't imagine how hard this has been on you, it just sounds like you've been under so much stress! Hang in there, Alisha.
