Bells, Whistles, Wires and Tubes











Lila continues to receive great care and monitoring here at the hospital. She breastfed twice since my last post and they have taken her off the IV. She is producing pee and poop diapers which is something that they also monitor closely, even weighing them. They have turned down the oxygen level in her breathing tube and so far she is pretty much holding her own with just a few dips now and then. She will need to improve more in this area before she can be done with the oxygen tubes in her nose. Her cough is still horrible-still lots of gunk in the lungs.




The highlight of her day was being able to spend some time with daddy while I went home to take a shower. It feels good to be clean. There is no bathroom in our room. We actually have to go quite a ways down a few halls to get to the bathroom.

Yay Lila! What a little fighter you are. She looks comfortable in that bed though... its nice how they propped her up like that so she can breathe better.

So thankful that Lila is improving!! She looks so sweet and does look restful and peaceful in the pictures. Great that she has her favorite blankets and sees her mom and her dad. Good you were able to go and take a shower, Lori. That always makes a difference. We trust that Sky & Brad are doing well today, too.

Gramp and I are so glad that Lila is doing better. We are praying that her lungs will clear out and that her cough will go away. I know it is rough on you two and for your sake we hope that she will soon be able to go home.
