Kaitlyn is doing great! She hasn't needed any breathing treatments or medicine at all in the past 2 days. She isn't coughing or wheezing anymore and it almost seems like she is back to her normal self. I'm sure being at home and being around her brother has helped too. The first few days we kept them apart since Kaitlyn was still coughing and wheezing and we washed our hands every time we went from one baby to another. Let me tell you, that is not easy, especially when you are taking care of them both by yourself! Now since she isn't coughing or wheezing, she can play and interact with Cole. He is so happy that she is home. He really likes to "talk" to her. Chip and I are happy to be home too!
This is my attempt at keeping them separated.
Sitting closer now that she's not coughing.
A few things are different for Kaitlyn and us as a family now that we are back from the hospital. She is now getting hospice care, which is where nurses and doctors will come out to the house and check on Kaitlyn to see how she is doing. It is also coded differently with insurance and we have been told that her Pediasure, Thickener and medications would be covered at 100%. This would be such a blessing. They will also help with comfort measures for Kaitlyn at home. It is definitely hard to accept the reality of having Kaitlyn being on hospice but we are grateful for the services they provide. It will mean less doctor's visits and more personalized care.
They are just so sweet together.
I like to think he is kissing her hand but I'm sure he's sucking on it.
Not a posed picture. They do this a lot. I love it!
