Progress! Lily was extubated this morning with no issues. She's breathing well on room air. She had her foley catheter and one of her IVs removed. Her swelling has also gone down, so she's starting to look like her normal self. Unfortunately, because she's awake and alert now she is also starving. She didn't eat for over 2 days. Even though she's never had anything to eat by mouth, so was trying so hard to eat her hand today :( They have started feeding her now, but they have to start small. She's only getting a small portion of her normal feedings, so she's still very unhappy even after they feed her. It's hard on us to see her so upset. It will take about 3 days to get her back up to her normal feedings.
Tomorrow she will get her pacing wires removed and she might go back to NICU. Otherwise it will be Tuesday. Thanks again for all your prayers. Some of Joe's family stayed with us this weekend to help take care Cora and Rose while Joe and I spent so much time at the hospital. We're very grateful for their help too.
Poor hungry girl. I get hangry too! Glad she's doing good.

DeleteIt must be so difficult to not be able to make her all better right now. That's what mamas want to do! She is blessed to have such loving mommy and daddy that spend time with her to comfort her and assure her she is loved. Glad Joe's family is nearby and able to help. Much to be thankful for in your post. Love you
