Baby Kaytie Anne

As you may already know David and Laura have a little girl named 'Kaytie Anne' in the Royal Childrens Hospital'. She is 4 months old and has been in there since birth. She is what the doctors call 'A TOFF Baby'. Her story can be seen by clicking on the link to 'Kayties Story' on the right hand side of this blog.

She is doing really well now and drank from a bottle via her mouth for the first time during the week. If all goes well she may be home next weekend, providing she is taking 4 hourly feeds from her bottle.

We went in to see them Sunday afternoon in at Ronald McDonald House where David and Laura have been living during this time. Laura is able to take Kaytie out of Neonatal whenever she wants to now and she had her at the house while we visited, which meant Micayla could finally meet her little baby cousin (2nd). Micayla has been itching to meet her and we were not allowed to give Kaytie's her Easter present until Micayla could give it to her herself, which she did yesterday. Micayla was also the first child that has actually held her and Kaytie liked Micayla and sat there contently on her lap. Micayla kept washing her hands with a special disinfectant just so she could touch and hold her. Bailey on the other hand was not interested one little bit. I think he actually got jealous of Kaytie's attention and did the sulking baby doll thing against the wall. He wasn't crying or carrying on, just did the pose. It was actually quite funny.
