Better days

Weight check = 10 lbs. 9 ozs.

Life has been extra busy since we've been home from the hospital. I feel like I'm still trying to get unburied. (I have a bunch of e-mails that I haven't had time to answer, but I promise I'll get caught up soon!) But it is good. Lilly is feeling very well and is happy and smiling a lot. She didn't talk at first but that has come back in the last couple days.

We have noticed what a big difference it is making in Lilly's congestion by not having the NG tube in her nose anymore. There are many days now where I don't have to use the Nose Frieda (suction) on her at all. She's also started sneezing some (she never used to for some reason) and it's pretty funny to watch. She will scrunch up her whole face, then turn beet red, then out comes a quick little sneeze.

I gave Lilly a little yogurt to try yesterday and she ate it pretty well. She seemed to like the consistency.

The other day I walked into the room where Lilly's pulse ox is and found my 2.5 year old son sitting there with it. He had plugged it in, turned it on, and hooked the sensor up to himself! All this medical stuff is completely normal to him.

If you are a fan of pug dogs, look close at Lilly's onsie. It says "pugcake." That was a gift from Lilly's aunt that has a pug and all sorts of pug paraphernalia.
