Another Good, Bad, and Ugly...

Better do the bad first because this good will out weigh it! Since Lilly's G-tube has been puy BACK it she has been having some minor issues....she has been uncomfortable, the site has been really red, and I can tell it hurts....which on a good note to that she is taking more orally :). Finally today I took her in, I figured that the pain would subside within a few days but we were going on a week; Lilly has an infection, nothing too severe but still. The doctor thinks that it was between the fall-out and put-in of the G-tube. Being that the stomach is not clean to begin with it really didn't help! She was put on Augmentin (an antibiotic) to help with all of the symptoms, it may even help her excema! Anyway she will be on that for the next 2 weeks.
Okay some good things! Elizabeth is doing wonderful with her new heart....so far so good! I can't even imagine the relief they feel! She is recovering nicely and with time, she will be home!
A Lilly Note: She is MOVING finally....backwards and backward circles....I don't even think she knows that she is doing it! I am hoping that by the end of the month she will at least be crawling (forward). She is getting really strong too! She can hold on to the couch and stand (until she notices she's doing it) and is starting to walk beside things, she has some balance issues still but I wont tell her that! Other than that All is well and parents of heart babies are truely blessed....EVERY ONE OF US! We never take those "little things" for granted!
