Bath time!

Bath time!!! We got to give Kale his first bath (at least the first bath from his parents!) tonight.

Tag teaming bath time, Derc holds the tube and also holds Kale up off his bed and I give him a sponge bath.

Kale says, 'I don't know what you guys are trying to do here...but I'll go with it!'

Soooo as you can see, we got to give Kale his first bath tonight!! And, we're well aware of the fact that he already had his first bath, but first baths don't count until the parents get to do them, right?! So, tonight we got to give Kale a nice little sponge bath. Derc was in charge of lifting Kale off his bed and holding his tube while I washed him with top of the line hospital shampoo/soap. Kale enjoyed it, he did very well, and Derc even finished his day at the spa by brushing his hair with a nice little comb :)

Kale had himself a nice little day today. His oxygen levels were in the low 30s for most of the day, and he remained stable as well. His vent settings remained the same today and he seems to be doing well off the Nitric treatment. The Dr. decided to discontinue the steroid treatment since it was impacting his blood sugars so much. We'll see over the next few days if he continues to do well without the treatment, but we hope so!

He had his feeds increased today to 18 mls every 3 hrs fortified at 24 calories. His weight is up to 2 lbs. 6 oz. now, which is a FULL POUND over his lowest weight. He has been doing really well with his feedings, we're so proud!

Today they took his PICC line out....cross your fingers, because he didn't have the best of luck last time they took this out. We're hoping it's for good this time!

Grandma and Grandpa Rainbow were in town tonight and got to see Kale. We went out to a nice dinner to celebrate bath time :) Tomorrow Aunt Sarah, Uncle Justin and cousin Jordan are coming in to town to visit the little guy.

Thanks for checking in and for sending positive thoughts our way, we appreciate all your prayers!
