Yesterday (Tuesday, 8/23), the doctors told me that they were confident that I didn't have an infection. That was nice for a couple reasons: 1) having an infection would suck (so I hear), and 2) my parents and grandparents could hold me without having to wear gloves and gowns (very fashion-forward, but not that awesome). All that was left was for them to remove my IV and for me to keep my glucose steady...
Success! At 9:30am this morning, the monitors came off and my folks put me in a new, spiffy outfit. Then my mom tucked me under her arm like a football and sprinted out of the hospital, dodging doctors and security guards -- perhaps she has a future in the NFL.
Anyhow, I'm very grateful to all of the folks who took really good care of me here at Packard, but I'm super excited to be heading home!
Thanks to everyone who sent me all of your well-wishes! It definitely worked -- I'm leaving here a happy, healthy baby!
Love,
Lily
