So we found out today that our dearest Kaitlyn is moving out of the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) and into the Special Care Unit (SCU). The SCU is where preemies go when they are healthy enough not to need quite as much equipment and attention as the ICU.
Which means that Kaitlyn is rocking it! Tori and I are excited, but scared. It means our baby is doing really well, but at the same time the NICU has become very comfortable for us, and we are nervous about changing anything until she is ready to come home.
But they doctors and the nurses think she is ready for this step, so Tori and I are just going to have to learn to deal with change. I suppose we should get use to it, since that is what children are all about – change. And like everything else with Kaitlyn, it looks like it is going to happen whether we are ready or not!

Awsome! Can’t wait till she gets to come home!
Welcome to being a parent. Just when you get comfortable, everything changes! This will be an ongoing theme…LOL
We are so glad she is doing so well.

Donnie and I are dying to see Kaitlyn. Our family is still sick with some sort of crud, so I know now is not the best time. But do know that we are thinking about you everyday. I am thankful that I had the chance to see her the first day of her life, and that you came through the whole ordeal so well. Kaitlyn is a fighter, ans with the support that she gets from such loving parents, she is going to be one happy healthy and loved baby! Let us know when we can at least come see you two, I don’t think we will pass the crud to you!

So glad to hear that Kaitlyn is improving! To echo some of the other postings on this site…welcome to the rollercoaster ride called parenthood! Kaitlyn is definitely a lady who knows what she wants, and she wants to go home. Thanks for keeping everyone up to date on her progress. Our thoughts and prayers are with you all!
