So close...


So sleepy...

napping with Mommy...

Is that Caspor the friendly ghost? Why is she in a halloween outfit you ask? Not sure...maybe the night nurse thought she looked cute in it...who knows.

My favorite picture so far...love those cheeks

crochet burrito...this blanket was made for Lily by a special group of people from Alexander City, AL

So as you can see from the pictures, Lily has done very well and kept her feeding tube out and oxygen off. We are so proud of her! She continues to do better and better with her bottles each day. We are SOOO close to bringing her home!!! Tonight she weighed 5lb 4.8oz. We want her to continue to show that she is gaining weight which she has been. Lily's main doctor will be back tomorrow so we hope to have a better idea of when she might come home. Another Nephrologist (kidney doctor) came to see Lily today to check on the high blood pressures. Her urine tests didn't really show anything so they are going to watch her another day and probably put her on a dose of blood pressure medicine. Please pray that they will have the wisdom and knowledge they need to make the best decision for Lily. We also are waiting for the MRI of her brain to be done. I am ready to get it over with. Please pray that it will go well and that it will be done this week with normal results. Thanks so much for all of your prayers and encouraging words. We feel God's presence and peace through all of you and know He will bring Lily home in His timing. Have a great night and hope to bring you good news tomorrow.
