Kalista is such a good patient!
We came in to see her this morning and her whole entire care team were leaping with excitement to tell us that she did not need her CPAP breathing device, nor her feeding tube and lastly the IV in her foot anymore.
We were also excited to hear that she started bottle feeding today!!! Yay!!! Even though she gets 5 mL (which is about 1 teaspoon) at each feeding session, a little bit goes a long way for her.
Last night we each took turns holding her. Kalista's CPAP device on her head (in the picture above and to the right) was so bulky and made her look like an elephant or a creature from Star Wars. When her mouth opened, it created a funny sounding "whoosh" from all the air rushing through the tubes. I'm sure she is happy that she no longer has to wear it since it smooshed her cheeks and ears.
