Are You Sitting Down???









Doesn't she look like "Mini Me" in this last photo...."Whooo-oo Haa-a-a-a-a!!"

Today was such a beautiful day! We had a meeting about Kayleigh and her new plan of action. Make sure you are sitting down. Are you ready....?

The plan of action has been confirmed for Kayleigh to go home very soon. We are looking about a month or six weeks out, maybe even less depending on how well she does with the upcoming tasks. There is not a whole lot left to do, but she can't have anymore setbacks along the way.

The next task ahead is for the doctors to insert a G-tube straight in to Kayleigh's belly. She has been trying to take a bottle and has not been too successful yet. They know it will take time, but they don't want to interrupt any developmental issues, so they are going to take out the last tube that is in her nose and put in the G-tube instead. The other tube in her nose was removed the other day for good since she no longer has any air on her belly that needs to be suctioned. The G-tube will allow Kayleigh to be on her regular feeding schedule and still be able to practice with the bottle. I can't wait to see her with no tubes on her face.

This surgery will be done next week sometime and she should recover very quick. They already took her off the continuous drip of Versed (Pain Med.), so they won't have to worry about weaning her off of that again. They will use another medication for her pain that can be stopped fairly quickly. Since being off the (Versad) pain medication completely, she is able to focus more and her eyes don't wonder around that much. Seeing her try to focus and her eyes cross is the cutest thing. They are doing an eye exam before she goes home to test her muscles in her eyes to see if the doctor needs to strengthen one over the other.

They are also weaning her off the Hydrocordizone that was used for reducing the inflammation on her lungs. Once they do that, they plan to remove the older central line out of her chest since the Flolan is the last of the medications she will be given through an IV. One by one they are starting to get rid of more lines and more meds, so she can come home on minimal items.

Right now, her feeds have been increased to 22ml's per hour and her caloric intake is at 25. She has blown up the last couple days. I know we just hit the 7 pound mark not too long ago, but she weighed in at 7 pounds - 6.2 ounces last night. It seems as if things have completely taken a turn for the better once she had her tracheotomy put in. Many of you said she would do that and you were right.

At the meeting, they told us that soon we will be training with some of the nurses for Kayleigh's home care and what to do in many different situations. We have already worked on changing the trach, but we have to train on changing the Flolan which is the scary part. There is a 3-5 minute window with that medication. If anything is pinching the line, or it is leaking, Kayleigh could go in to a hypertensive episode that could kill her. There is no room for error when taking care of our peanut.

So, needless to say, we need to be on top of our game when taking care of her at home. If our in-home nurse doesn't show up, we need to have all eyes on her 24/7 in case either the trach pops off or the Flolan is not working properly. It is enough to scare the mess out of you, but of course we will do what it takes to make sure she is home and safe. There are so many stories of how preemies just do ten times better once they're home, with growth and development.

This has been one exciting day for us and we are so pleased to see Kayleigh making leaps and bounds, especially after seeing her near death just a couple months ago. This was a day I thought was never going to get here, but it looks more promising now than ever before. To end today on a great note, Kayleigh started smiling again. You can her smile as Mommy was kissing her in the first photo and they came frequently as we played with her today. It melted my heart to see her so happy and this is such a blessing for us right now.

Thank you all so much for your support through this journey. Kayleigh has been an inspiration to so many and all we can ask is that you keep her in your prayers for next weeks surgery. We are not sure when it will be, but we will let you know. I wish everyone a wonderful weekend and please say a prayer for me as I have my final interview for my new job this weekend. If I get the position, I will be sure to clue you all in on the details.

God Bless,

This is absolutely WONDERFUL news. My face just lit up when I saw the new pictures and read the story. WAY TO GO KAYLEIGH!!! Aimee & Adam, you are doing a fantastic job of making sure she has everything she needs right now. I can only imagine how scary all the new training will be, but if anyone can do it y'all can. Good luck on your interview Adam. And I hope it all works out the way you need it to. We will be praying and trusting that God helps them make the right decision, whatever that may be. Also, I will be praying that Kayleigh's body continues to get better and that she is fully prepared for the G-tube surgery. Get some much needed rest tonight, as I know you both probably need it :)

My baby (now 2) has a G-tube. It is such a piece of cake to take care of. He's had the Nissen wrap as well and been on a feeding pump. I think Kayleigh will love not having any tubes in her nose!

mommy to Kaden, Brody and angel Ava said...

What great news!!! I too, think she will soar once she gets home, Kaden did!!! If it makes you feel any better, if she pops herself off of the vent and/or trach the vent will alarm. I also wanted to share with you to have the RT show you two as well as the home nurses you may have every possible way the vent circuits can become disconnected, we encountered a new one with Kaden the first night we stayed with him by ourselves in the parent room before going home. I would say now that we are all to familar with them. We have also found out that with the portable vent, the circuit can kink where it connects to the vent, especially when she becomes more active and mobile. Just some things that we have experienced. When you get your home nurses, do not feel bad if you do not think they are going to work out, just let the agency know that you would like to try somebody different. With all that Kayleigh has been through it is best for you to be picky :). It has made me feel bad in the past, but I want what is best for Kaden like I know you do with Kayleigh. It is your right as a parent to have who you feel comfortable with.

Ok, enough of my "advice", I just really wanted to let you in on a few of our experiences. I would love to answer any questions you guys may have as parents taking home a vent/trach baby. Like I have said before we have been doing this for about 4 years. Kaden also has a Mic-Key button (G-tube).

Again, I am so thrilled for you all. You continue to be in my thoughts and prayers. Good luck with next weeks surgery.

Our grandson was also born 3 mo. early.. weighing 2 lbs. He was in NICU for 4 mo. & had 4 major surgeries & we nearly lost him. I don't need to tell you how taxing it is. But you are so close now. Hang in there. You WILL be a family with a normal life very soon.. no more hospital, no more washing those hands & putting on that gown, phoning to check on her condition every morning & night, limited visitors & driving to that darn hospital every day.
Can't wait to read about that day.. it's just around the corner:)

This is amazing and definitely a true showing of God's magnificence! Kayleigh's strength has inspired me in so many ways and shown me that God really is there.

I know all will go well, and when it's time, Kayleigh will come home to her brown and pink room! Love you guys!! We're going to be at Levine's March 9th to deliver the donations. Rach and I'd love to see you guys! I'll let you know what time we're gonna be there. Kiss Kayleigh for us!!

What great news! You are right about babies doing better at home. We brought a very sick baby home but once we had been home a while he just took off. The NICU had been unable to get him off oxygen after his second surgery, but once we were home he was off in a month. He was 1lb 8oz at birth and now he weighs 16 lbs! I know your little girl is going to do great. God works miracles, I have seen it with my eyes! : )

Congrats!! You will find that the gtube is very easy to deal with. :) I've been dealing with my daughter's for 5 years and she's almost (finally) tube-weaned. I'm glad we were able to do it pressure-free on her schedule.

There's a great support group: http://www.parent-2-parent.com/forum/

Lots and lots of kids with tubes for many reasons. It's a very positive board and the parents there really know their stuff. Come on over and check it out!

I just wanted to let you both know how much you have touched my life. I started reading your blog about 7 months ago when I was pregnant with my son. My husband and I have a daughter and have lost 2 sons 1 to preterm labor and 1 to late term miscarriage. In January (again at 23 weeks) our preterm labor begain, they were able to get another week out of the pregnancy, but unfortunalty it was not enough. After spending 6 days in the NICU our son Evan passed away. After our loss I turned from God, angry that he had taken another child from us. Your story has given me so much hope for the future. When I read it, I feel closer to God. I just want you to know that you are in my thoughts and prayers.
