Hi Lily Fans, Far and Wide!

Lily wanted to share with you her latest look

Keep praying she does well in the next few weeks, and we might be in the hospital, right before or after Thanksgiving, getting her trach out. We are all excited she is doing so well. I found some pictures of her during the worst of her jaw distraction. I am so, so thankful that is all done.

Thanks for your prayers!!!

Update!! 11/17--So, the doctor just called me and we are taking Lily in on December 8th (!!!) for Lily’s decannulation study. Oh My.....I am all a flutter. Isn’t that a great Feast Day???

She has tolerated her cap pretty well, with a few setbacks last week with, what I think, were allergy issues or a slight cold. BUT, she is doing fine now, so we’ll see if we can keep her healthy for three weeks and possibly get her trach out before Christmas......holding my breath as I just wrote all of that.
Thanks so much for your kindness and prayers!

Great news! Lily sure has a lot of personality -- amazing what our children can get through and still keep their bounce and spirit!

Lily has many, many fans...some of us wish we weren't so wide...

Your sweet daughter is going to set the world on fire! She has so much personality! (And those blue eyes...I'm just sayin'!) I'll be praying extra hard for Lily these next few weeks. I am sure she's loving the freedom from medical devices...

May God bless Lily and your entire family these next few weeks, as you support her in her efforts to breathe, grow and learn.
