Monday

Reunited in Grand Junction once again.

Today Meredith and I were both anxious to get back to Jennifer and Delaney. Grandma probably thought I was a mad man running around the house this morning packing up our things. We appreciate Grandma's help over the last week and hope she had a safe trip home.
It was nice to breathe the Gunnison air for a few days but it's nice to be back together again.

We made it to Grand Junction just in time for some of Delaney's 12:00 care and found Jennifer keeping things in order. Although we've only been gone a few days, I noticed that her left eye has finally started to look more normal (it was bruised and swollen for quite a while), and her head seems to be back to a more normal shape after they stopped using the CPAP gear. We couldn't stay in the NICU for long, and hustled to get moved back into our apartment. We are so thankful for our new friends in Grand Junction that let Jennifer stay with them while we were back in Gunnison. Hopefully that will be the last time we have to move out.

Delaney had another ultrasound of her head this morning and the preliminary evaluation from the Doctors was that she did not have any bleeding in her brain. The final report will be out tomorrow morning. For those of you following the blog, you know that this is the second time she's had a head ultrasound and it is one of the most nerve-racking tests we've faced (both times). Hopefully tomorrow's final assessment will corroborate the preliminary evaluation.

We received some great packages in the mail today in Grand Junction, and can't thank you enough for helping keep us sane. Meredith got some great coloring books and we now have Delaney's first little outfit. Even though it's preemie size, Delaney has a ways to go before she'll fit into it. On Sunday she was weighing in at 2 lbs, 4 oz.
