June 24th Update

                A lot has happened since the last update.  First off, yesterday afternoon Lily got rid of her last belly-button IV, which means she is now getting 100% of her nutrition from just her feedings.  Last night, Sam got to hold her for the first time. That was an awesome sight to see Lilly even put her Daddy to sleep it was a very cute moment.  As her cultures stand right now, she only has one more day of antibiotics left.  Which means hopefully she will get the last IV out of her hand and won’t have her “billy club” anymore.  This morning, she wasn’t a Glow Worm anymore because her billy blanket had been removed, that means her billy count is down and continues to drop.  We finally got around to purchasing the rest of our big items for home yesterday, like her crib and bouncer and some little extras that will make her more comfortable when she gets to come home.  Now the waiting continues she still has to get out of the incubator and into an “open air” crib, we also have to wait to see how big she will be when she gets to come home so we can go stock up on diapers, wipes, clothes, and all the other fun stuff that comes with our little Lily.
