First Nursing


Kayla nursed for the first time! She took the right side like a champ, but had trouble with the left. We don't know if she was full / tired / whatever, but we'll have to keep an eye on that.

The attendant on the floor (the head honcho) said that Kayla was progressing amazingly. She was able to demonstrate a strong grip on the right hand when activating the "pulling herself up" reflex. Normally her grip is weak, but this was white-fingernail style gripping.

On the down side, she had another small seizure (the first in a while), but that may be because the meds are wearing off.

I'm really hopeful at this point. Thank you for all your prayers; they're working!!
