May 7, 2008 And then she was called Kennedy

Kaydence is having a really hard time regulating her temperature, and now she has started to vomit after some of her feeds. She did this one time in the hospital and the nurse told me that she vomited because she was trying too hard to regulate her temp and digest her food at the same time. I am going with that idea, even though there could be a ton of other reasons she is vomiting. I have noticed that she keeps the breast milk down better...but then again there isn't much of that to throw up! lol

I am very excited to say that the Reglan has been helping my milk. I made enough milk for Kaydence to eat in one bottle. Yep, I made 2 ounces with one pumping session. I could not believe that I made that much...considering that was the first time for me. I was like a kid winning a goldfish at a carnival...I was that happy. lol

Larry and I think we are going to start calling Kaydence by her middle name. I have always wanted to call her Kennedy, but he really liked Kaydence. So when we decided we would keep both, we had to see what flowed the best when we said her name. lol. When I look at her now, I really think she looks like a Kennedy, and Larry agrees. Have you ever looked at someone and you think they look like a name?!?! lol...I do it all the time...lol So Kennedy it is, but it will be a slow transition I am sure.

Update on Larry's Co-worker:
I wanted to make sure it was okay to say his name before I put his business out there on my blog, so sorry for not giving his name at first. JR Butcher is the Martinsburg City Police officer that had a stroke the other night. He is now at John Hopkins, and they are not allowing any visitors at this time because of the critical state he is in right now. Larry is keeping updated with the other officers, and the last we heard he is going to need brain surgery. So I will keep everyone posted on how he is doing and when the surgery date is.

Oh, last thing! I wanted to let everyone know about a benefit that is being held for the Greenwalt family this Saturday at the Moose Acres. Donald Greenwalt is part of our Living Room family, and he too had some serious health issues a few months back. We are very happy to say that he is getting better and better each day, and he will be back to work full time before we know it! There will be a benefit for him and his family this Saturday, and we would love to see all of you there!
