1 Week Old Today

Well, Kyle is 1 week old today and what a week it has been. This evening we were admitted to UTMB down in Galveston because of a possible infection. I will download some pictures in a little while. Last Saturday when we were still in the hospital I noticed a few little areas on Kyle's left foot and I pointed them out to his nurse. I thought that they were from his name bands. He kicks his feet a lot and I thought he had scratched his foot. Then I was discharged on Sunday and he stayed for phototherapy. When I returned to feed him that evening I noticed that most of the skin was missing off of both of his big toes. I asked the nurse about and she gave me an explanation that did not make sense. When we returned the next morning to bring him home we noticed that the skin was missing from his right heel. The nurse said that our pediatrician had seen it and was concerned and we were to follow up with him the next day. So we did and he started Kyle on oral antibiotics and a topical antibiotic. We followed up again today and his heel is worse and Dr. Binder (by the way he is the best pediatrician ever!) said that he wanted to admit Kyle for IV antibioitcs and a plastics (plastic surgery doctor) consult. So we are here at UTMB. Not my first choice, but I trust Dr. Binder and I know that he would not send us here if he did not think they would take good care of our little man. I will keep everyone updated via the blog and I will download some pictures in a little while. Please keep all of us in your prayers and include the girls because they are being shifted all around again after being shifted around last week when Kyle made his way into this crazy world. Thanks!

Tears and Lights

Well this morning I woke up thinking that we were going to discharged from the hospital sometime before lunch. Kyle had to have an ultrasound this morning to check on a little dimple on his back side which ended being normal, but his bilirubin this morning was continuing to creep up and he was looking a little yellow. So Dr. Binder decided to check another level at 1 pm and if it was continuing to rise he wanted to keep him over night for phototherapy. Well Dr. Binder called me around 2:45 pm and said that Kyle would have to stay. I cried like a baby off and on for the rest of the day because I did not want to leave my baby boy at the hospital. We decided to go ahead and come home after his 3 pm feeding. Nana made us dinner (Thank you Nana!) and so we had dinner and I spent some time with the girls. Chloe got to snuggle with which she has missed the last few nights. I then returned to the hospital for Kyle's 10 pm feeding and he did so good at latching on. He is not back under the lights. His bili has come down quite a bit already so by tomorrow morning he should for sure be good to go. I can't wait to bring our little guy home! Here are a few pictures of him sun bathing.

Here are also just a few more pictures of our little man. He is just so cute I have to show him off.

Big Sisters and More Pictures

I just love this picture because he is so alert! He looks like a little man.

Here are pictures of when Kaitlyn and Chloe first saw Kyle. They just love him and cannot wait for him to come home. Chloe just cannot hold him enough until he cries and then she says "here" and wants you to take him right away. There are also pictures of Dan's Mom (Grammie) and his niece Megan with Mr. Kyle. I love the picture of Dan looking at him. He is so proud!

Kyle has Arrived

Kyle Reed Crockett arrived this morning at 2:22 am.

He weighed in at 6 lbs 7 oz and was 18.5 inches long.

He looks just like Chloe when she was born.

Here are some pictures of our handsome little man.

I will add more of him with his big sisters and our other visitors tomorrow.
