Today we got to spend lots of time with Riley. I was able to change his diaper and take his temperature twice. This was a really good bonding moment for us. I LOVE taking care of my son. Who knew that I would be thanking God for a simple task like changing Riley's diaper? God knew. But that is what it takes, to always thank and praise God for all things happening for us.
Riley has made improvements with his breathing. He was taken off the oscillator and put on a coventional ventilator. He has been on the ventilator for more than 12 hours and our last report from the nurse was positive. We pray that God will fill his little body and move through his organs. They were also able to lower is oxygen levels, which means that he needs less assistance to maintain oxygen in his blood. His urine output continues to increase which is helping his swelling reduce. You can now see more definition in his palms and pads of his feet.
We miss him when we are away but we are very close as we are staying in a hotel. I would like to thank Craig's company for putting us up in a hotel, this is a wonderful blessing. We can be at the hospital in 5 minutes if needed. I take back all the bad things I've said about Craig's job...well almost. ;)
Today was exciting and tomorrow will be great. Praise God for all Riley's improvements!!!
