Welcome to the Delaney Rose blog...

Delaney was born January 27, 2010 at 3:09 pm on a snowy Gunnison day. She was 14 weeks premature and weighed 1 pound 15 ounces. We survived 80 days in Grand Junction at St. Mary's NICU, and finally made it home the third week in April. We created this blog while living in GJ so that our friends and family could stay up to date on Delaney's progress. We plan to maintain the site and post when we can, so please enjoy!

DAY 8

The honey-moon seemed to be ending yesterday. Delaney's recent challenges are apparently typical for a preemie her age, but it sure brought us down in a hurry. The nurses started another course of medication to help get the valve in her heart to close, increased her caffeine levels slightly to further stimulate breathing, and also had to give her an enema because she was getting behind on her dirty diapers. She seemed to be doing a little better this morning, but Jennifer may opt out of Kangaroo care for today. Delaney is starting to get some sores around her nose and face from the CPAP mask, and the nurses were trying to mitigate for that this morning.

Today is her one week birthday.
