Well, the doctor told us today that they will be discharging Kenzie tomorrow! I was not sure when we were going to see this day, and it was a subject that no one wanted to talk about. But she is doing so well now that they see no need to keep her. She is feeding very well and they took out her last IV late yesterday. The only thing she is hooked up to now are the heart and oxygen monitors.
As a part of the discharge process, they performed the hearing test today and she passed. I was a little worried because the oscillating vent can cause some hearing damage, but it turned out OK. The cardiologist did another echo-cardiogram as well and was amazed at how much better it looked than the one they did last week. He said all of the pulmonary hypertension issues had been resolved! Hallelujah!!!
We are so happy and feel so blessed that she has come so far so fast! Even the doctors were amazed to see her eating so soon after being so sick. I am so thankful to the nurses and doctors for taking such good care of her, but I am very glad that she will be able to come home and we can put the hospital visits behind us.
What wonderful news! We are so happy to hear that she will be home tomorrow and is doing well.
