Well, not much to report today. She has been sleeping ever since she got out last night. She has maybe opened her eyes once or twice, and then cries. It's hard because she's frustrated. I want to pick her up and make her feel better, but she has to be still. They say that it's just an irritated cry, not a pain cry, but still hard to hear. I can settle her down pretty quick by rubbing her head or holding her fingers. This is going to be one big test of patience for me. Benny had a harder time today, he couldn't handle her cries. We mainly stayed out of her room all day so that she could sleep. If she heard my voice she would stir, and they don't want her to do that. I would go in and check every hour, but she has her own nurse sitting right next to her all day, so she's in good hands. I keep thinking that if this was my first child, I would be by her side every second. I think with your 3rd kid, you begin to trust that other people are capable too.
Tomorrow Benny goes home and I'm on my own from here on out. I'm happy that Benny can go get the Boys, they need their daddy home. But, it will be lonely. Thank goodness for laptops and downloaded movies!! The nurses are pretty cool too. In 2 weeks, my friend Susan comes out for her baby's surgery, and then I'll have a buddy who knows exactly what I'm going through.
So I keep thinking, ONE DAY AT A TIME! IT CAN ONLY BETTER FROM HERE!

wow Laura you are so much stronger than you may realize! What a good attitude you have. Lily is in good hands and she is so blessed to have you both as her parents. I continue to keep you all in my prayers. I wish we were all closer so we could keep you company. Love you!
You are doing the right thing and you have an incredible attitude. It's hard to think that one day all of this will be just a distant memory and she will not remember a second of it. You will though! Laura, you are in my prayers and I love you and I am in awe of you. Keep your chin up! Love you!

I miss you! Today Benny gave such a sweet testimony and it totally made me teary. You guys are so blessed and so many people are praying for you and your family. It will only get better. Good luck Laura!
hi, yesterday gramma took the boys back home so things are real quiet here. Actually, I miss them, but not as much as you. I have put your families name in the temple and I know all will work out. You are all in my thoughts and in my prayers that he will strengthen you and keep his arms around Lily.
