Hello to everyone. Everything is going well with Abby. They are still saying she should be home with in the next two weeks, it could be longer though. They're trying to get her off the oxygen so it might take a little longer. Her lungs look good, they look like they need the oxygen still so we'll see what we can do. The other news is that we finally got through to CHOP and talked to the surgeon and the liver specialist. They are both in aggreance to wait as long as possible to do the surgery. We still have to go down and meet with them when Abby is discharged, but for now they want to wait. They said it could be anywhere from 4months to a year. Basically, until the tumor starts growing too large and causing her problems, they are just going to monitor her and let her get as big as they can before they take it out. We're pretty relieved because we thought she was going to get discharged and have to go right into CHOP for the surgery. But as of right now the tumor is causing her no problems and her liver is still working, so we have just have to wait and see. So now she really is coming home soon and we have to prepare for that. They will give us cpr training and training on the monitor. She'll probably be on the monitor for about 2 months depending on how well she does. Other than the tumor, Abby's doing really well. She's feeding really well and starting to put some meat on her bones. Here are the latest pics of her. When Matt's family was here they did a little shopping and here is a super cute outfit they got her...

She loves her pacifier-I think she looks like maggie simpson here....
