Today, May 30th, has been an extremely rough day for everyone, especially Kinley. Not only did she have to go through ECMO surgery early this morning (1 am), but one of her tubes got a kink in it and it was disrupting the blood flow from her ECMO machine. The only way to correct the kink was to replace the tube. Around 5 pm they began Kinley's second surgical procedure of the day to replace the kinked tube. By 6 pm they were done and we heard that everything went very well. We were so relieved. Sitting and waiting for results on life saving procedures can be heart wrenching. At 6:30 pm we were allowed back in to see Kinley. We were so happy to see her again.
Overall, this has been the most physically, mentally and emotionally exhausting day ever. We would give anything to have an "uneventful" day tomorrow.
Sorry for falling so behind on our blog updates. As you can imagine we have been pretty preoccupied with Kinley and all of her recent issues. We will do our best to get past events posted and also stay on top of Kinley's current progress.

Sorry Kinley had to go on ECMO. And I'm sorry you guys have to go through all this. I know how you feel, trust me. But she'll be home before you know it. Just take it one day at a time.
So sorry Kinley had to go through another surgery today. What a rough day for you all. Hang in there, it will get better!
