Last night, Kayleigh's final IV was removed. That means that she no longer has any needles poking her. She now only has a feeding tube and monitors hooked up to her. She is also now able to use her left arm which was wrapped up with tape and a splint.She is still having some trouble with feeding. She doesn't take very much from the bottle and has been throwing up about once a day.

Dear Laurie and Kevin,
Congratulations to you both for beautiful Kayleigh. I pray for you and Kayleigh daily. I'm sure you are looking foward to bringing her home. I enjoy reading about her progress every day. Keep leaning on the Lord for strength.
Dear Laurie, Kevin and Kayleigh:
OK, so you have a champ on your hands! Good for her, good practice for living life. You all must be breathing a little easier! It must be a wonderful thing to see her making her first steps at such a giant pace! I hope you are all getting some sleep and counting the time until you can go home together. Home will never be the same.
Watch out, she'll be a teenager with the blink of an eye.
Much love,
Penny
Dear Kevin and Laurie,
Nelson K. recently informed us of what is happening with your family. We are keeping all of you in our thoughts and prayers. We are glad to see the progress that Kayleigh is making. Your friends,
Jeff and Lisa Wheelbarger
Laurie...Miss Kayleigh fits perfectly in your arms!!! You two are a match made in heaven!!!!! I am so glad to hear that the surgery went well...it sounds like she is recovering quite nicely!!!!
I'm sure that somedays it must be hard to crack a smile...but, here's my sad attempt...Instead of reading that cute baby book to her, you should totally whip out the Case Management Manual that I made like 10,000 copies of, and read that to her!!!! Maybe she's a future social worker, like the rest of us sad pee-ons! :)
From one social worker to another...much love, and I hope this made you smile (even for a milli-second).
Dear Laurie, Kevin and Kayleigh:
I am very glad to hear that Kayleigh is doing well. I know that it has been hard on the new family, but it will get better.
This may be difficult to fathom, but I promise that there will be a time in a few months (or even in a few weeks) that it will be hard to remember that Kayleigh was in the NICU. I barely remember it now but I know that Aron and Alyssa were there, and that did scare us both but we knew they were in good hands.
Keep up the good work and come home soon!

Dear Laurie & Kevin,
Felicidades! you have a bella baby. Laurie, please know that I have been thinking about you and praying for Kayleigh's health and her parents' strength. She seems like she is a fighter like her mama. Soon everything will be better. Hang in there and God bless Kayleigh! Nydia (WIC Program)
