Here's a good close-up from tonight. See why I call her 'Chubs'?
Our little angel, Riley Alexis Skach, was born 12 1/2 weeks premature on June 2, 2009. She weighed 2 lbs 4.5 oz and measured 14.5" long. She spent the first 129 days in the hospital and was finally able to come home on October 7, 2009. Since then we have had the joy of watching her grow and develop into a very happy and healthy baby girl. She has come so far and we thank God every day for the miracle he has delivered us.

Chubs!
I've decided to give Riley a new nickname...Chubs. She just keeps gaining so much weight! Up over 7lb 8oz tonight, wow! Just looking at her, I can't believe how big she is after looking over old pictures the past few days. O2 has been doing really well, still around 21-25% the majority of the time. She hasn't had any A/B episodes in over 48 hours now (knock on wood). Hoping to attempt to get off the C-PAP for the third time tomorrow or Wednesday. This weekend she received another blood transfusion (third one now). Her red blood cell count was low, and she was pretty anemic - they said this might have been contributing to her trouble breathing and struggle keeping strength when she was on the nasal cannulas. So everyone keep your fingers crossed and say your prayers that the third time will be a charm when we attempt to get off the C-PAP in the next few days...

I always go by and say hi to miss Riley now- she was sleeping soundly yesterday a.m. when I saw her. Hope she does great off of CPAP this time- it's such a bummer when they have to go back on it. See you guys later!
