    Hey Guys,

    Just thought we would give eveyone a wee update on how Kaila is doing. Her heart is Sorted and her stat levels remain great! We did run into a wee issues with her vocal cords/voice box. The nerve that controls the left vocal cord runs right behind the Aorta, so they are thinking it may have been bumped during Surgery. Bonus is that it is not completly Severed! But it has effected her ability to take the bottle. So while we are learning new ways to bottle feed her its a slow road, Her vocal cord could repair itself within weeks, months or even years but will be closly monitered which means visits to Dunedins ENT team and possibly even Christchurch at some stage. We have been here coming up 8 weeks now which has been extremly challenging during lockdown. On top of being away from Our boys Slade and Bentley, the comforts of home and the support of our family, Our mate Oscar was put down which has just been heart breaking for everyone.

    Thanks to everyone for the continuing support and those special people who have gone above and beyond to help. We are so thankful and overwhelemed by the Kindness and Generosity of Everybody, Words or actions will never be able to explain how much our family appericate everything.

    Love The McNamara/Moeke Family 💕

    After moving to HDU yesterday miss Kaila haa continued to take big steps, She arrived in HDU on .2 of Oxygen and 32ml of Milk. HDU decreased her oxygen to .1 of Oxygen and put her milk up to 42ml. Mum couldnt keep up with the demand of milk so we had to do abit of formula last night which she did not enjoy and vomitted it up for the nurse. Since I arrived at 9am she has gone completely off Oxygen and had the nasal prongs removed and upto 58ml of milk. We do still have a feeding tube until we get a grasp on breastfeeding and bottle feeding. Looking at moving into a room so Ill be staying with her which will help with the supply of milk 🤞 Thanks for keeping her in your thoughts and prayers.

    Love Moeke/McNamara Family 💕

    After a whirlwind of Emotions, Hayden and Myself are so pleased to Annouce the Arrival of Kaila June Maria McNamara. Weighing in at 8 pound 5 ounces she came into this crazy world at 11:50am and has kept her father and about 13 dr's and nurses on their toes. She is needing Surgery, we are not to sure when. Her heart condition is quite serious so she is in NICU with her own nurse. Please understand that we may not reply to messages straight away and text before calling as we may be busy and enjoying our brand new babe. 💕💕 Our hearts are so full of Love.
