Just thought I would post a quick update on Miss Lily. Biggest news around here is that she got her PICC line removed on Thursday after 5 very long weeks!!! All three of us were quite happy to have that ordeal over with. Her finger is looking good so far so we are hopeful that the infection has been eliminated.
As you can see from the picture Lily is rapidly losing her "baby" look:-) She is rapidly losing the baby attitude as well and is adopting some new sassy, independent opinions:-/ The PICC line pushed her patience level off the cliff. By the last week she was consistently trying to bite my arm when it was time for me to administer her IV. We had several conversations about that which usually ended with her growling at me:-)
We go next week for a follow up with ortho to find out if Lily is going to need surgery on her hips. We are hoping and praying for either another "let's wait a little longer" or an even better "she looks great, we don't need to do surgery". Lily has been on her feet a lot since the last check up and we are hoping that her hips are correcting with the weight bearing, that is the doctors hope too.
We will let you know what we find out! Pray for Lily and the doctor that the decision is clear and obvious!
