Day Two Update

So... the feeding tube is out of her throat and we got to feed her. Steph actually fed Kaia a whole bottle of milk. Kid fell asleep while she was eating, but she ate the whole thing. All that is doing well.

Last night, the doc said she had a little bit of a heart murmur (which is scary), so tomorrow they're doing a scan on her heart. The doc said it's not uncommon for premies to have heart murmurs, but he's going to check her out anyway.

We're still not sure when she's getting out. They're not even speculating, so I'll try not to as well.

Also, as per Dave's request: 4 pounds, 8.6 oz. at birth. 17 inches long and some change. She's not very big, but the nurses keep calling her "feisty," which is to be expected.

Later.

I'll keep my fingers crossed for positive results on the test and short time lapse before you get to take her home.

The spawn of Stevie Washington, the angry youth .... feisty? Say it ain't so!

Melissa and I are thinking of you all. Keep us up to date as you can.
