Friday, July 18th - Goodbye Nasal Cannula

Before I left last night, a little after midnight, Barkley (Kinley's night nurse) had pulled the nasal cannula out of Kinley's nose, but had not officially removed it from her head in case she needed the oxygen support back. Today, the nasal cannula is officially off of Kinley and she is breathing room air like the rest of us. Here are a few of the many pictures we have already taken today.


Kinley when I arrived this morning. She is asleep in her boppy.


Look who has daddy's double chin!


I love my boppy.


Whoa, who is this guy with the camera right in my face?


Oh, it just dad.


Alright dad, enough with the pictures already.


Man, this is comfortable without my nasal cannula!


Just chillin' with one of my bears.


Don't we make a cute couple?

Kinley you are so awesome! Way to go! Just one more tube and an IV to go and you'll be free and "unplugged". Keep it up!

Yippie!!! What a HUGE milestone. To look at Kinley's photos from today you would never know she had such a rough start and was on ECMO. You must be so proud of your little angel!
