lunch update

Lily is awake and back to her old self(with the exception she is not allowed to roll over, crawl, clap, or dance) She woke this morning a happy baby and was hungry immediately. She has sucked down 3 bottles of pedialite and some yogurt and applesauce. Grandma Owen arrived to the hospital today and she walked in to greet Lil and Lily gave her the first post surgery smile. Since then Tara and I have been trying to get her to smile for us and have had no luck. She just wants us to feed her. Which we are more than happy to do...

Other than that, Lily is doin great in her recovery. we hope to move on to a permanent room soon, but don't want to rush her. She is still hooked up to a pace maker because her body is getting used to her new heart system. The nurses here have been better than fantastic. We have a library of books to read to Lily and all the toys we could ever imagine. She is watching Wheel of Fortune and The Price is Right just like she did at home. (She loves the sound of the wheels spinning) I need to get off the blog now so I can go back in and feed Lily her lunch. Mashed potatoes...


By the way, when folks ask what it is that you can do for us, Tara and I have expressed interest in meeting Albert Pujols before getting a gift of front row seats at tonights cub cards game. Our friend John said he is setting it up now, so if you would like to help him we would appreciate it.

Thanks in advance,

The Owen's
