Saturday, June 14th

As a Father's Day gift for Kevin, I will be writing the blog for this post and the next so that he can spend some quality time with his daughter. Fortunately for me, Saturday was pretty quiet and this will most likely be a short post.

We arrived around 9:00 am to find Tiffani and Carla taking care of Kinley. They gave us a quick update from last night, and by quick I mean they told us that not much at all happened. Kinley required one round of extra morphine and versed, but other than that she was pretty quiet and stable. We always like those updates.

This morning we find that Kinley's BP has improved since they changed her medication to be given every 6 hours and not just after her BP gets too high. In fact it improved so much that they acutally had to skip one of her doses. Kinley's oxygen challenge this morning was 156, so it is moving in the right direction. Other than that, we are just holding the course of IPV treatments and pulmozyme to help get the mucus out of Kinley's lung.

Around 6:50 pm Kevin and I decided that Kinley has had a pretty good day and we should be ok going home (to our own house and not the Hyatt) for a couple of days. Kinley didn't even need any extra doses of morphine or versed at all while we were here today. Once we get home and see our other baby (our 3 year old Boxer, Kobi) we are going to celebrate Father's Day with Grandpa and Grandma Seep (my partents). While it is very nice to stay at the Hyatt so close to Kinley, we are looking forward to going home for a couple of days.

Carrie and Kathy should be back again after shift change and will take great care of Kinley overnight.
