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!

Thursday


Delaney's day went pretty well. She had some blood work done this morning which indicated that her sodium levels were somewhat low and also showed that her thyroid stats were out of the norm. The doctors plan to run a few more tests tomorrow to double check these results. They also bumped up her feed rate a little more today, so we'll see how she handles the extra volume. Neonatal medicine is pretty amazing, with so many seemingly small things for parents to learn about.

With a little more time available during the day we've been able to catch some power naps. These come in handy because our upstairs neighbors are apparently vampires and seem to be most active (ie. loud) during all hours of the night. Yesterday Meredith's friend Ellie F. visited for a little while which she really enjoyed and was definitely a special treat.

Thanks for all the cards and treats in Grand Junction. The picture above is by Nurse Meredith and shows the going-ons in the NICU.
