Rylee's First Week

Our little Rylee has done so well her first week!

Here's a just a few of her accomplishments:

*Graduated from ventilator to CPAP on her 2nd day (she's only getting a little help to breathe)

*Passed her echo with flying colors (her heart is looking good and working like it should)

*The ultrasound of her head was totally clean (no brain bleeds, yea!)

*She's using mommy's milk to gain weight

(her tummy is working, lots more poopy diapers!)

*No infections (she gets to stop her antibiotics)

*Her feedings are going so well she doesn't need her PICC line anymore! (Less risk for infection)

Other happy moments this week:

*Daddy's first diaper change!

*Mommy's first diaper change

*Grandma and Grandpa Barnes came to visit

(Grandpa wants to know where her socks are!!)

*Grandma Jones came to visit (Can't believe she's soooo tiny!)

*Cousin Danelle got a quick peek

*Held mommy's finger while she slept (Precious!)

Lance and I and little Rylee are all doing well. We just want to say

thank you for all the thoughts and prayers, concerned phone calls, cards/letters, beautiful flowers, words of encouragement, and for everyone's willingness to help however they can!

We appreciate all that you've done and we love you all. Thank you so much!!
