Tummy Ache

Yesterday evening we received word that Lilly had a tummy infection referred to as “nec”. The doctors noticed on Lilly’s x-ray that there were gray spots inside her tummy. They immediately started three types of antibiotics and inserted a tube through her nose down into her tummy to suck out the yucky stuff. She will have her new nose accessory for several days as it removes the infection out of her tummy. Lilly is off of feeding for 7 days. She will continue to get her nutrition through the IV fluids. Lilly continues to keep the doctors scratching their heads and the nurses scared to disturb her during her beauty rest. Lilly will smile on a rare occasion which melts her mommy and daddy’s hearts. She loves having her binkie and being tucked in tight. Please pray that Lilly will overcome this infection. We are so grateful for the medical staff at St. Joseph. They are doing all that they can to help our sweet Lilly. Thank you again for the prayers and sweet thoughts.
