I am sure she feels all your Love, and that is what is keeping her going, just hang in there and know you both are in my prayers.
I did not see where it said how old little baby Lily is, she sounds like maybe 4 weeks or less. How old is she? Also how long have you been hand feeding her? I know you must be so exausted, I pray that you get some quality rest while your daughter is there, and that the baby Lily will thrive with all your wonderful care, love, and support............. |
Thank you Donna, that means so much to me. Lily is 6 weeks old but due to the Hydrocephalus, she is more like 2-3 weeks old in development. I have had her since July 3rd, a little over a week. I work full time in the evenings so that makes it harder. I'm so fortunate that my husband and I work different shifts so he is with her in the evenings, and I am home all day. He's very good with her, I'm so lucky to have such a caring husband. Lily is very strong and is a fighter, and she has been eating very well. Her weight went from 13 oz to 1 lb. in the first 5 days, which made me so happy. I have not weighed her since last weekend, but I am going to do that next time I feed her. I do believe she has gained more because she looks a little bigger. I get sooooo excited when I see her gain weight. I've been trying to resist the urge to weigh her often because I'm afraid if she doesn't gain, I'll get discouraged. I decided to weigh her once a week because I feel I'll see more progress that way. She's one very sweet little girl, that's for sure.
