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

Hard to believe a week has already gone by. Delaney continues to have short bouts of apnea, and is keeping the nurses on their feet. Jennifer had her staples removed this morning, which made her C-section incision feel a lot better. Unfortunately our Nanny Kathy went home this afternoon, so it's back to just the three (four) of us again. Thanks for everything Kathy.

We look forward to having visitors over the coming weeks, but wanted to ask a favor of you all. If you or your children are sick, we ask that you wait to visit until you're feeling better. It is very important that Jennifer and I stay healthy- or else we can't enter the NICU for obvious reasons. I thought I had a cold coming on a few days ago and didn't get to visit Delaney for almost two days, which was hard on me (Brandon). For folks that will be coming to see us, we recommend checking out the hotel options on Horizon Drive on the north end of Grand Junction. Most of the hotels you could want are up there, and it is very close to the hospital.
Just thought that might be helpful for those of you that have never been to Grand Junction. Thanks again to you all. We could not be pulling this off without you.
