Home at last

I can't say, "THANK YOU" enough for all your prayers because they worked! Lily did have to stay a full day in the hospital under the light, but by the next morning her jaundice levels dropped significantly. She was at a 13.8 and then the next day was 8.1! So, once again, thank you for all your thoughts and prayers.
We got to come home on Saturday afternoon. It feels so good to be back at home even though I secretly loved staying at the hospital. My nurses were wonderful. They made my experience very pleasant and comfortable. But I missed London so much. She didn't do very well while I was in the hospital. When she came up to see me, she would throw a fit. I guess it freaked her out a little seeing me hooked up to all those machines and lying in the hospital bed. I missed holding her and just spending time with her! She is doing much better now and she really loves Lily. She wants to hold her, kiss her, help change her diapers, and she is fascinated with me feeding her.
We are adjusting around here and it's going to take awhile. It is hard and it's just the beginning. I pray for patience and strength everyday. Thank the Lord for family!! They have helped out so much, and I would be a basket-case right now if it weren't for them!
Here are few pics of the last couple of days.


Lily gets to go home and the pain killers have kicked in! :)
