Today was a good day. Very, very hectic but good. Lily continues to do well and feels fine.
We had to move to a different room, which was a pain but actually a good thing. She had been in an intermediate care room, which is reserved for children with serious medical needs. Today, they moved us to the more "general" pediatric wing, where kids with less serious issues (think tonsillectomies and rashes) are housed. These kids are also LOUDER than the kids in the intermediate care wing, but we can handle it.
My mom spent last night with Lily. I know Lily enjoyed having her grandmother there but I think Grandma was beat by the end of the night. Ethan is going to spend the night tonight to give her a break.
Aunt Michaela also spent time with Lily today. It was SUCH a big help having her there while I took my mom home to get some rest and also ran around the hospital on errands. Lily was perfectly content to sleep in Michaela's arms for FOUR hours. That's one of the longest naps she has ever taken and she sure looked comfortable in Michaela's arms!
Tomorrow is Thursday and that means we only have a few more days until she gets to come home. I really don't know how parents with chronically ill children do it. My hat is off to them!

So happy that baby Lily is doing better. Love, Lisa (Ethan's cousin) :-)
ReplyDeleteLily, congratulations on moving to the general pediatric wing. That's good news. We are all glad to hear that you are feeling better and will soon going home. I am also very happy your Grandma and Aunt Michaela are there to give your Mom and Dad a hand.

My great-uncle John Ackermann used to spoil me rotten. Yours is looking for the opportunity to do the same.
