We walked into the NICU today and not only had Lilah been moved to a cubicle across from her sister, but she was also in a crib! No more isolette for this girl! (I took pictures but forgot the camera in the NICU) She's eating almost all of her food by nipple, and had about half an ounce by breastfeeding today. The attending said that she'd probably be able to come home the end of the week or early next week. We're getting that car seat ready!
Charlotte had her first re-test for MRSA post-treatment. It won't come back right away, but if tomorrow's test and this one comes back negative then she's off isolation precautions and we can go freely between her and her sister. Tomorrow Charlotte has her contrast enema to see if her bowel healed up and whether there is anything to be concerned about. I'm a little worried because she hasn't pooed in two days despite a suppository, and that can mean that she could have something preventing her from moving foods through her system - something like my Hirschsprung's. Fingers crossed! We want both of these girls home!

Yeah! One step closer to coming home!
How exciting for little miss Lilah!! Nice work :) And then it'll be Charlotte's turn to shine... she'll eat & poop just like her sister. I'll keep the positive thoughts going for both girls.
YIIIPPPEEE!!! GO Lilah!! I am sure that Charlotte will be soon as well!!
That is such great news about Lilah, she's a tough little lady!
Watching your baby (or babies) grow and change is so exciting! So happy for you all! Can't wait to visit them in their home.
