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.  |
You just keep doing what you are doing, it is working, the special ones really get into the core of our heart, I have a special little girl that I had to bottle raise, and she is 10 years old now, and they said she would never live, I guess she fooled everyone, and of course she is like my own child, I could not be any closer if she came out of my body, and I am sure you feel the same way about your precious Lily, My prayers go out to you and Lily!!!!!
