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!

Sunday June 6








We've had another busy week around here. Don't let the pictures deceive you, there's not much time for sleep...
Last week Meredith went to Crested Butte for her graduation ceremony. She's about to embark on her final year at Stepping Stones and will be in the Coyote class starting in the fall. It's a bummer that she missed the greater portion of her Marmot year, but at least she got to visit with her friends and teachers at graduation.
Friday night we all participated in the Relay for Life in Gunnison. Most of our team were walking in the memory of our good friend Sandy Hayes who was a wonderful person that cancer took at a young age. It's a powerful experience which we hope to be involved with for many years to come. Jennifer has walked in the relay for several years in honor of her late Uncle Willard, and her Aunt Barbara who survived breast cancer- Take care of yourselves.
More work to do on Saturday, with Brandon helping out at the kid's fishing clinic in Gunnison. It's a lot of fun visiting with all the kids and their families, and helping to run the laser shot virtual hunting booth. Jennifer has a different method of transportation now that the weather is nice and with help from Meredith it appears that Delaney has the best ride in town. The wind won't seem to go away so far this summer, but man has it been hot lately!
Delaney is doing well but has been a little off lately. She's had a sour belly and we're hoping she'll work it out soon. We weaned her down to 1/32 of a liter on her oxygen, but she seemed lethargic so we turned it back up. It sure would be nice to be rid of the oxygen and all the equipment but she's going to have to let us know when she's ready.
