Welcome baby lily....

Just a little update about Lily. Unfortunatly 2 weeks ago Lily caught an infection after a blood tranfusion and was quite poorly the consultant had her transfered back to the QE thinking she may have to surgery. But i'm pleased to say an oporation wasnt needed and Lily responded realy well to the antibiotics. Today she has been sent back to heartlands, to a loverly reception from the doctors and nurses. she now wieghs THREE pounds 2oz. Mom Zoe is doing very well too. along with dad Steve they have had a real roller coaster few weeks. Tonight they were told Lily is doing exceptionley well and if she continues to do so she could be home in 3 weeks.
 
That sounds like a scary few weeks. I am so glad that Lily now seems to be doing well and has put on so much weight. I hope Lily is home in 3 weeks time - that would be wonderful for you all.
Thanks for letting us know.
Best wishes to you all
Polly :)
 
Oh Robert that's fantastic news. I think Lily is a little fighter. I am so pleased to hear she is doing well. Thanks for keeping us up dated.....love to you all xx

Thanks Polly. Wendy, Our first grandaughter Molly was 3lb 6oz born she is 8 this year well 8 going on 18. so i know what you mean, Lily is just a few oz's of that now and its amazing how much they are alike. btw Lilys sister Grace was 7lb 2oz.
 
Polly I have 3 daughters and 4 grandaughters. but i've also got 3 grandsons the first of which was the first boy to born into the family for 36 years. So yes i have been out numberd by girls for years.
 
Wow, 7 grandchildren - thats great! No boys born in the family for 36 years - and then 3 came along - I bet that was a nice change!

Polly she is doing fantastic, I held her in my arms last Sunday for the first time. No wires or tubes or monitors, at the moment everthing is going well. fingers crossed she will be home soon. and thanks for asking Polly.
 
That is such good news.:):) It must of been the best feeling in the world to hold her on Sunday after all she has gone through. I hope she is able to come home soon.
Best wishes to all the family
