Kynlie had a busy couple of days the beginning of the week. Monday, she had an eye appointment. Dr. G said that her right eye is perfect and the spot of blood in her left eye is half the size it was 2 weeks ago. We don't have to go back to see him for a month now and it will be only for her left eye.
Tuesday Kynlie had appointments with physical, occupational and speech therapy. They just wanted to see if there were any milestones that she was behind on for her adjusted age or if her movements weren't like they should be. They were very impressed with how well she can hold her head up, they said it was more at a 2 1/2 month level instead of 1 1/2 month. They were impressed with how well she can track toys with her eyes and said that she shouldn't be doing that for another few weeks as well. They gave us some exercises that we can work on with her to get her to switch focus from one toy to another or track a toy from one side to the other and for getting her to hold on to her own toys.
She had an appoitment with Dr. Ocejo after her therapy appointments. He hadn't seen her since the day she was discharged so it was pretty neat to see his reaction when he saw her. He was very impressed with her progress. He said she is still very proud of her big belly. Kynlie had to get 4 vaccines, one oral and 3 shots. It was pretty sad when they poked her but it was nice because they had 3 nurses in there so she got all 3 shots at one time. She has to stay on the caffeine for a week after the vaccines because they can cause apnea spells in preemies. After we take her off the caffeine, she will have to be on her monitor for another week, then we can take her off the monitor. If there is still a lot of RSV going around though, he wants us to leave her on the monitor because if she gets RSV , we will know that it is that, not a cold because she will have a lot of apnea spells. She weighs 7lb 7 oz and is 21" long. We ran up and saw her nurses after we were done with her appointments and I am glad we did because there were some that were working that hadn't seen her since before she was discharged. We have to go back to see Dr. Ocejo and all the therapies in 2 months.
Kynlie is still getting packages from people, which just amazes me, all the people that are thinking about her. She got a package last week from one of my cousins with a bunch of adorable outfits in it, this ladybug outfit is one of them. Thanks Chris & Rose!!

What wonderful news about Kynlie. You must be thrilled to know she is doing so well. It was nice of you to take her to see the nurses - I'm sure they fussed all over her.
ReplyDeleteIt will be great when you won't have to use the monitor any longer. That will come soon. Thanks for this happy update.
