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



Just got back from the NICU and Delaney seemed to be having a better night tonight. Jennifer ended up doing Kangaroo care this afternoon, which lifted her spirits. Tomorrow is a big day again as Delaney will be getting her third echocardiogram and an ultrasound done of her head. Send us positive thoughts.

A lot of folks have been asking us what our living arrangement is, and we appreciate all the help and wonderful offers. As you can imagine, this was a source of MAJOR distress a few days after Delaney arrived in Grand Junction. We needed a place to cook good meals and provide Meredith with a decent night's sleep. Saturday morning my parents discovered a vacation rental apartment that is a five minute walk from Delaney's room (the picture is from Delaney's bedside). You have no idea what a relief that was in the midst of a terrible storm. Thank you parents. Hopefully we can stay here for the duration, but maintaining two separate households is going to take some getting used to. We miss our Annie dog.

  1. What an amazing little girl! Let us know if there's anything the apartment is lacking, or anything else you need. We think of you guys all the time and are praying for strength for little Delaney Rose(LOVE the name by the way). We can come watch Miss Merry this weekend so you guys can spend some time together at the hospital if you want...
