We have a 2 pounder!

Kennedy is officially 2 pounds!! Only 2 more ounces and she'll be back to her birth weight. She's been handling her feedings much better so that's great news! She's been very up and down with her oxygen requirements over the last few days so the doctor today ordered a chest scan. She said her lungs look fantastic! She said her last scan they looked a little cloudy and had a little fluid in them but today they were very clear. Love hearing news like that!

But with all good news there seems to be some not so good news. The doctor called me at about 10 today and told me that the results from the blood culture they had to do on her last week came back with a positive test for MRSA. MRSA is basically a skin bacteria that is very common in hospitals and even more common in NICU's. It is of no danger to Kennedy. She has to be put on antibiotics again and since it can be passed by skin to skin contact she has been put in isolation and when we are in her room we have to wear a gown and gloves. The doctor seemed to think this was a little dramatic because I'm still aloud to touch her and have kangaroo time with her but it's hospital policy. Despite the hazmat suit I had to wear I had a very good visit with her. She looked so good and had her eyes wide open for me! She looked so beautiful and cute! Love her so very much!!
