Praise God, we are going home!!!! In about 14 hours we will be heading out the door with our precious Lily!! Just one week shy of 4 months in the hospital. Yea...Lily and I have had a good couple of days. She is nursing very well especially for such a premature baby. She also took several large bottles today as well. She has passed her car seat challenge, developmental screening, hearing test, and everything else we have to do before they open up the gates! She had another eye exam today and everything remains the same without any problems or anything to worry about. The MRI also went well. Nothing major showing up, Praise God, only some immaturity with her brain, which is to be expected, and some areas that indicate a possible cognitive delay as she gets older. But all of this is to be expected in such a premature baby and she will begin early childhood intervention within a few weeks.
I can hardly believe we are actually leaving. I don't think I will completely be able to take a deep breath until we are out the door and loading up the car seat. Please pray that Lily and I have another good night, that Thomas will be prepared for tomorrow and have understanding, and that Lily will prosper in her new home!!!! I am so overwhelmed with so many emotions right now that I will have to express them later. Hope I can get some sleep...Thanks for all of your prayers, support, and encouragement. God is good!!

Words can't express the emotions behind leaving the hospital when you have been there that long. We were only there 38 days and it was overwhelming! Keep us posted as you can, but I totally understand not being able to!
We went back yesterday for our follow up appointment, and for the most part everything looks really good!
YAY!!!!!!! hope things are going well! mucho amor!
Oh what wonderful news. Will be thinking of all of you today and hoping all goes well. What a blessing - Love Deb and Skip
