Kinley is 100 days old today (13 days corrected). As of Wednesday, she was 3.44 kg (7 lbs 9 oz) and 51 cm (20 inches). We’ve started filling most of her bottles to 120 mL (4 ounces) and she’s often finishing them. Sometimes she even wants more. She’s come a long way, but I also pointed out to mom that we still haven’t been home with her as long as we were in the hospital.
She went to see the pulmonologist (lung doctor) this week for her first of many RSV vaccinations. We’ll have to take her back each month through the spring for this shot. RSV is a very common virus that presents as a typical cold in adults and even most children. But, it would be extremely dangerous for Kinley should she contract it.
When she got her series of two month vaccinations in the hospital, she always fussed more about the liquid Tylenol they gave her first than the actual shot. Not so with her RSV shot. She ensured everyone was aware of her displeasure.
After all the noise she made at the pulmonologist, she actually managed to sleep through the first couple minutes of her eye exam.
The prognosis was more of the same. Slightly better and slightly worse. Most of her retina is still categorized as Stage Two. There are small areas in both eyes, more-so on the left, that are Stage Three and that had hemorrhaged. It’s not so bad that the doctor wants to refer us to a retina specialist and start us down the path of laser treatment. We’ll be checking them again next week.
