Lilly Pulitzer Giveaway, Lilly Warehouse Sale Info & Rue La La Lilly Sale Info!

Hello Re-Lilly Readers!

Sorry for the delay in posting the Lilly Giveaway to Celebrate 5000 Re-Lilly Facebook Fans! As most of you know my Minnie, Olivia, got very sick and ended up in the hospital. The last few weeks have been a struggle for our family. While my husband was away on business Olivia got very ill. When DH returned we knew we had to take her to the ER when she was not improving after the office visit with the doctor. 

In the middle of the night/morning we got ready to run out the door and as I was throwing a few necessities into her backpack Olivia insisted that I pack her favorite Lilly dress, her "Cake Dress" aka Lolly Rosette Dress in Let them Eat Cake print. She insisted on wearing one of her other favorite Lilly dresses (Prep Green Hits the Spot Print)to ER and she insisted I wear the matching Clare Dress, who could deny the requests of a sick, sweet 4 year old? 

The matching Lilly dresses were a hit with doctors and nurses in ER. After being admitted to the hospital she insisted on wearing Lilly everyday and refused to wear hospital clothes (already a Fashionista at 4!). After being transferred to CHAD (Children's Hospital at Dartmouth)we kept the "Lilly Cake Dress" in her backpack and promised she could wear it home the day she was released from the hospital. CHAD was such an amazing hospital, we can't say enough great things about the hospital and staff.

Olivia is without a doubt Lilly Pulitzer's BIGGEST LITTLE FAN! Another little thing that helped the time pass in the hospital while my baby laid there in pain was using her "Lilly Pad" as Olivia calls it, aka iPad with Lilly Hotty Pink Bloomers Cover (from Purseladytoo.com, Thank you Sweet Rhonda!). We all laugh when she says, "Can I play a game on the "Lilly Pad"? Long story short she is home and recovering. She is doing very well and we expect her to make a full recovery but still dealing with some of the side effects, like she is afraid to sleep alone at night and her teeth are turning brown/staining from the medications she has to take :( 

I guess in the grand scheme of things we have to look to the positive and feel Blessed that she is okay. Any parent who has had to watch their child in pain and suffering in the hospital knows the gut wrenching pain and heartbreak we felt. It is awful as a parent to watch helplessly as your child is sick and in agony. Olivia not only wore her favorite "Lilly Cake Dress" home from the hospital but previously wore it on her birthday, to meet the Easter Bunny and recently to the opening day at the lake as seen in the photo below. We entered this photo on the 2011 Lilly Lovers Days Photo Contest and hope you will view our photo and consider voting for us if you are not entered in the contest :-)

A huge Thank You to Amy at The Joggling Board Lilly Store (https://www.facebook.com/TheJogglingBoard) where Olivia's Favorite "Lilly Cake Dress" came from. Amy is the sweetest and we had planned to visit her at The Joggling Board during our SC trip but had to change plans due to Olivia's illness. 

A quick update on our Chihuahua Bella who got really sick after Olivia got out of the hospital, She is doing much better! Her Liver was attacked with toxins and we may never know the cause, either an infection or she ate something outside she shouldn't have. She is on the mend and we are thankful the vet was able to save her life. We almost lost her :( We are still waiting to hear if DH needs surgery on his arm/wrist from the fall on ice he suffered the end of March, he sees the Neurologist soon. If I don't see a hospital/doctors/nurses for awhile I will be a happy girl!
