(Announcer) Good morning ladies and gentlemen and welcome to another edition of Extreme Crib Makeover. Let's get a quick update from Kinley's parents and then we will move on to the main event.
(Dad) Hello, thanks for having us on the show. Kathy and I arrived at 8:00 am to find Kristen and Jackie, Kinley's nurses for today, and an ultrasound technician giving Kinley her head ultrasound. The head ultrasound did not take long, but like normal we will need to wait for official results from the radiologist. As soon as the ultrasound technician is gone, Kristen gives us an update on Kinley's most recent activities.
(Still Dad) Kinley's night was pretty quiet. She had a chest x-ray at 5:00 am (we have not heard the results yet) and needed some extra morphine and versed around 6:00 am because she was a little restless. Kinley did not need any BP medication during the night shift which means that she has gone 24 hours without BP medication. Way to go baby girl! And last, but definitely not least, Kinley's oxygen challenge came back with a score of 335. That's two days in a row with scores over 300.
(Announcer) And now onto Kinley's Extreme Crib Makeover. Let's begin with Kinley showing us all how she wants a bigger bed.
Kinley loves to spread out and relax.
(Announcer) Sorry, we can't get you a bigger bed, but we can get you some new bedding. But before we pick out that new bedding and get them set up, why don't we get you cleaned up? We'll have mommy trim your nails and give you a massage. Then both mommy and Kristen will give you a bath so you will be clean for your new bedding.
Kinley loves her massage. Thank you mommy.
(Announcer) Alright Kinley, what would you like to see with your new bedding? (Kinley) I would like to have a nice green, as the base color, because I know that green is my daddy's favorite color. And I want to make sure to have some pink so that everyone knows that I am a girl.
(Announcer) How about any animals? Would you like any animals on your new bedding? (Kinley) I like frogs. Both of my parents went to TCU and the TCU mascot is a horned frog. If we could get some frogs on my new bedding, that would be perfect.
(Announcer) Alright folks, our designers are out scouring downtown Kansas City looking for just the right bedding for Kinley. When we come back we will show Kinley what our Extreme Crib Makeover team has come up with.
(Please pretend that you are watching some commercials. Guys, feel free to switch channels during this commercial break and women, feel free to yell at the guys for switching channels.)
(Announcer) Okay, welcome back everybody. Kinley, are you ready to see your new bedding. (Kinley) Yes, I am so nervous right now. I think I can feel my blood pressure rising. I hope they don't have to give me any morphine, versed or BP medication. I am trying to kick the habit. (Announcer) Alrighty then, let's hope we don't have to sedate Kinley before she sees her new bedding. Here we go!
(Kinley) It's perfect. I love it. My bedmates love it too.
Lovey bear and Sugar bear both love the new bedding.
(Announcer) Well everyone, it has been a busy and productive morning for both Kinley and the Extreme Crib Makeover team. I think we should probably let Kinley get some rest.
