Going Home?!

 Hello Friends,

Heidi and I arrived back in Boston yesterday evening. Heidi’s parents are back home taking care of Rose and Cora for us. So as much as we miss them, our other babies are in good hands.

Lily had her 3rd (technically 4th) EGD today and is doing well. They measured her at 6mm, which is a step forward from last week when she was 5mm. They were pretty happy with everything they saw. They decided not to do the steroid injection this time, so it was just a dilation up to 10mm. And the best news..she won’t need another EGD for around 2 months! So far Lily is doing very well. Unless tomorrow is a very bad throwing up day, or some other major unforeseen event, we are free and clear for flying home on Saturday! I just booked our flight home, so fingers crossed.

Tomorrow will be a very busy day with lots of “training” for us, and discharge paperwork and such for Lily. Saturday morning Lily will discharge, and the hospital will set us up with a Lyft to the airport. Once there, through a program called “Massport” we apparently get some sort of expedited escort through TSA, and then we hike to our gate. We’ll be flying out at 11AM on Southwest, ETA at home 5:05PM. So by roughly 6PM Lily will officially cross our home threshold for the first time at 243 days old!

Lily was so happy to finally see Mommy again!
