Feeling Better

It's me again, Little Miss Riley, updating on my status. Yes I am still in the hospital... but I am feeling better than I was two weeks ago. The doctors tapped my spine for fluids (Mommy calls it a Spinal Tap) and I was such a big girl, I did very well for the test! I think I should get a green sucker!

I was an even bigger girl and proved to them that I could come off my ventilator! I am back on my C-pap, and I hope to be off of that soon too!

I do have to tell you that I am retaining a lot of water!!! Almost 14 ounces in water! I can't even open my little eyes because I am so swollen! You may gain 14 ounces in water and not think that was a big deal or even notice, but I notice even an ounce of water weight. Hopefully this goes away soon!

Thank you all so much for the prayers! I can tell that they were working! I know that I am a fighter, but I don't know if I could fight all of this on my own! Keep them coming for me and for my family.

I'll update soon!

Love,
Riley
