Think back three years ago......Lily was born and then the day after we came home from the hospital with her we had to return. She had a high fever for a newborn at 102.5 degrees. I took her to the pediatrician when she was four days old and they sent me to the pediatric wing at the hospital. The doctors weren't sure exactly what was wrong. Lily had to have a spinal tap to rule out meningitis. It was a 48 hour wait for the final results of that test. In the meantime she was on oxygen and had a heart rate monitor attached to her. They had to take blood a couple times each day from her tiny little feet and hands and one time from her head. It was heart-wrenching to watch. She was also on antibiotics that were administered for a half hour three times a day. Lily and Mommy had to stay at the hospital for seven long days. We are thankful to God for taking care of our precious baby girl and how she has grown to be an adorable, healthy, cuddly, loving, three-year old "big" girl. We love you Lily!!!
