Happy day

Delaney transferred back to St. Elizabeth this morning. The NICU staff was happy to see her again and put up a little welcome back sign for her (they also gave her the best room in the house).
Right away she did a whole bottle by her self, which is great progress. The next two feeds weren't quite as good, but we're definitely moving in the right direction.
Dr. Hawk was really happy with the latest X-Ray, and said Delaney's left lung looks normal-sized, so that means the sequestration didn't cause it to be undersized. She also said that she doesn't like to give concrete estimates as far as length of stay, but she did say we shouldn't bring any Christmas decorations. She may have been hinting at something...

Ditto on the YEAH! Good job Delaney. Isn't eating fun! Lemon pie comes later but clearly it is worth waiting for (that post makes me smile every time I read it) I am getting excited for you and mommy and daddy to go home together.

Here is to a Wednesday of good eats and hugs.
