At 1:00 pm, Katie changed Kinley's continual feed to 9 ccs per hour. Kinley's residual before this change was only 7 ccs, so we know that Kinley has been processing her 7 ccs per hour feeding.
At 5:30 pm, Katie checked Kinley's residual to see how she has been handling her newest feeding rate of 9 ccs per hour. Her residual was 8.5 ccs. This is good because it means the only food remaining in Kinley's stomach is from the last hour of her feeding.
Kinley finally had another dirty diaper. Once again, it was right before shift change, but this time Kathy and I got to change it. (We need a lot of practice.) Long story short, Kinley continued to poop (a lot) and pee through 3 diapers before we could get her cleaned up and into a dry diaper. It probably would have been easier if Kathy and I weren't laughing so much. Kinley was completely relaxed the entire time and that is probably why she just kept "going." When our diaper changing fiasco was finally over, Kinley went right to sleep. I am sure that she was pretty worn out. Not only from pooping so much, but from watching mom and dad fumble around for so long and from coming to the realization that we (Kathy and I) will not have diaper changing back-up after she comes home.

Oh, Kinley, you crack me up! No one can convince me you don't know what you are doing! You are so in control. Keep the "P's" coming. Love you.
