This last Wednesday, after 111 days in the NICU, Lily was able to come home. She continued to eat well and gain weight, thus the doctor said she could be discharged from the NICU. Hooray! It was a huge blessing and relief that she did not need to have the g-ube surgery and was able to come home to us. We are so very thankful to have her home!
We went to the pediatrician on Friday. She had gained 2 ounces since leaving the hospital - so that was also a relief.
And now? Whew...we have been settling into life at home with two children. Props to all you parents out there with two or more kiddos - it takes a lot of multitasking and effort :) My life for the past 4 days has been full of making bottles, feeding lily, changing lily, washing bottles, taking care of Jude, pumping, sneeking in a bit of food myself when possible, and getting sleep when I can. Daniel and I are both a bit exhausted, but well, ... it's so good to have Lily home.
Thanks to all the NICU nurses who so lovingly took care of Lily for her first 111 days of life! Love to you...
Congratulations Tasha and Daniel! We are rejoicing with you! What a beautiful little girl!

Yay!!!! So thrilled for you all! What an incredible blessing- and just before your birthday. The sweetest gift I'm sure. Praying that the transition is a smooth one.
ReplyDeleteSo wonderful! No kidding about sneaking in food when you can -- that's what it's like for a little while, but it gets better, of course. Love you guys, Es
ReplyDeleteVery, very delightful. Love, Dad & Gini
