Baby Update #2!

As of Sunday, February 10th, 2008; Kya Bree weighed 2 lbs && 12 ounces. She is still the same length I suppose. They have not measured that again. They don't do that as often. She is having her feeding tube removed some time in this next week. [10th=17th]. Also, She's on less oxygen && when the feeding tube comes out, the Pick for IV fats will be gone along with it. That Pick is just to send extra fatty acids && nutrients into her system until She is capable of eating enough on her own to be healthy && retrieve those otherwise necessary things Herself. She is a lot more active. She looks around more when we come to see her && I think She even laughed once while we were there the other day. Premature babies don't really look like a baby when they're first born. But She's beginning to shape up. Her arms aren't so skinny and long, they're rounder and more lifelike. Also the shape of Her entire body. Before She looked kind of odd, but now She looks like a miniature baby! Before her belly was her body. Now she has legs, arms, a tushie, a neck you can see, && of course that little smile of hers is even coming out! She is doing great! She had had a fever a few days ago, but the Doctor said she was fine. No infection, just a little cold! Which is GREAT!

If there's anythign else ya'll want to know, just comment my blog! I'll be glad to answer!

Hi Erica and Todd,
What great news about Kya, she sure is a little trooper. It sounds like she is progressing well and gaining weight is wonderful It must be amazing watching her grow like that. What a great story to tell her when she is a little older!!! I wish you all the best,
