Alright! So hopefully we are looking at the homestretch. Kit has to meet several milestones before she can go home. Breathing on her own, which she is doing; maintaining her blood pressure, which she is doing; eating full meals by mouth, which she is close to doing; and a few others I can't remember. What we are working on now is consistent weight gain, right now she is losing, not enough to be super concerned, but enough that she's sticking around the nicu for a while.
Her other issue is that she's had a few tachycardia episodes. This is where she's having a fast heart rate or a few extra beats. So far this hasn't affected any if her other stats.... Oxygen, breathing rate, blood pressure.... And she has brought her heart rate down after a few seconds on her own. She's on meds for this, and it will hopefully resolve itself as her heart continues to heal.
Here a a few pics from the last few days.
