Things are getting better

Im at work so I dont have a whole lot of time to post but have gotten some inquires as to how Kaiya is doing so heres a quick update.

We were in the hospital for 4 days total and then took Kaiya home. The following week was pretty rough. she was still not eating well from the congestion and what not. Her eating schedule totally changed after being in the hospital. She went from eating every 3 hours to every 1.5 to 2 hours which is a pretty dramatic increase but she was taking in less. Lisa got probably the sickest I have seen her in the last 10 years or so and that was really wearing on her as well. Friday of last week we really started to get concerned about kaiya. Her cry was changing. It sounded like she was in pain and she kept tugging at her left ear. SO on friday evening I took a trip to urgent care and we were right she had an ear infection. JOY! SO she has been on amoxcycilin (sp?) since last Friday and will be on that for 10 days. Sunday was the first pretty good day with her. She really started to perk up and be herself and has gotten progressivly better since then. She is still eating ever 1.5 to 2 hours but she is eating a lot more. I think shes making up for lost time! But thats really good she lost over half a pound from all this and when you barely weigh 11 pounds thats pretty huge. SO we hope that she is gaining again. She sure feels heavier! Lisa is feeling better as well I would say they are both in the 85-90% better range and have gotten back into their weekly schedules. Lisa is back at work and kaiya back at the sitter. Thanks so much to everyone for all their prayers and help. We really needed it and its so nice to have so many friends and family willing to help out.

Thanks again!
