Thank you all so, so much--Lily had a great night, still sleeping and oxygen levels have been perfect. She is getting used to her new airway, was quite spunky last night She was singing in her bedat 1AM!! We have one more night and can go home. My heart aches as I have sat here in the unit, hearing several conversations about little ones and their brain tumors, chemotherapy and radiation regimes. Can you say an Ave for these precious ones? My joy is so great, but oh...life is so hard for so many families here. I am humbled by their stories and resolve to keep them close in prayer.
So happy to report all good Lily news!

Well - from prayers for Lily to prayers for her family's intentions. We will be happy to join you in prayer for the families and children you have run into while there.

Now this is cause for rejoicing!!!


I know the pain of seeing all that collective suffering on one hospital floor, dear friend...by so many innocents. May the Holy Innocents intercede powerfully for those little ones suffering as well as for their families that walk this painful Via Crucis with them.

TRULY rejoicing for Lily and your WHOLE FAMILY! I kept thinking about her during my labor the past couple days and offering up little prayers! I'm so thrilled and happy for you! Giving prayers of thanks tonight as I nurse my little one!!! I'll be thinking of you...

Rejoicing here too, just to quick of this incredible journey, where both you and Lily have been a constant inspiration and example of virtue in good times and bad and here we are today, celebrating with you all this joyous outcome!

Many times I've said, 'we need a dancing man emoticon to express those special moments in a light hearted way'...well I get to use them for the first time today!!

WOOHOO!
