Day 12 update

Another few days down, and not much to tell. Riley's holding steady now, her oxygen is stable at about 30% so they can't take her off the ventilator quite yet. They have been able to increase her feedings a little more, but they've got a little ways to go before they feel like she is where she needs to be. Just a little spit up every once in awhile, but she's been keeping most of it down. Weight gain is slow, but she's back above birth weight. It still amazes me every time I see her at just how small, yet perfectly proportioned she is. Here's a few photos of her holding Mommy and Daddy's hands...



Today she was very squirmy, and didn't want to stay tucked in. It is kind of ironic, because both Pam and I like to stick one leg out while sleeping and keep our foot outside the covers. Well, here you can see Riley already takes after us in this aspect...

  8. Congratulations to you and Pam on your beautiful baby girl. These pictures of you holding her hand are simply amazing. It really shows how tiny she is. Glad to hear she is growing and getting good nutrition from Mama. You are all in our prayers, and we are so excited to meet Baby Riley. Glad to hear Pam is healing well also. Those staples didn't sound like much fun!
