"Closeup of Lily on CPAP"
"Lily getting a pep talk before going on CPAP"
Lily did it!!!!!!!!! Praise the Lord. He heard our prayers and has so faithfully answered allowing Lily to go on CPAP today and do so well so far. This means that her breathing tube (ventilator) is out. CPAP is little plastic prongs in her nose that can control how much oxygen she gets and gives her a continuous pressure to help her lungs stay open. She is breathing on her own and tolerated the change very well!!! Go Lily! Thank you all for praying for this.
We also received more good news when Lily's 4th head ultrasound was normal yesterday!! She is also off all IV fluids and getting her feedings and medicines through her feeding tube (the orange tube coming out of her mouth). Last night she gained an oz. so is now weighing 1 lb. 14oz. Let's keep the pounds coming!! She actually has some little cheeks now!!
We are so thankful for all of you and for praying so specifically for Lily. We are amazed at all that she has accomplished and overcome. We know that it is only because God has His hands on her and continues to knit her together so beautifully.
You can continue to pray for her progress on CPAP, that she continues to breathe well on her own. We also continue to pray for the fluid on her lungs to decrease and that she remain infection free.

I just checked the blog acutally while I am at work in Women's PACU. I am so excited to hear she is off the vent! Wow, what exciting news. I am all teared up in joy reading your words, Holly. We will keep the prayers coming for you, Lily, Greg and Thomas.

Ron and I are anticipating more Lily updates! We continue to pray for Lily and your family. We welcome you to take advantage of us living so close in Houston - and use us as babysitters for Thomas. :) We know you and Greg probably need some time on your own. - Ron and Mere
