About Me

I was born on March 1st, 2009... 13 weeks earlier than expected. Both Mommy and Daddy call me their little miracle because I was born without a heartbeat. I only weighed 2 pounds and 2 ounces when I was born, but now I am growing stronger... or at least I think so! This is my story!

We're HOME!!!

We're HOME!!!

I can see clearly!

I can see clearly now the test say so... lalala... or however that song goes. Yes folks I have been cleared on my vision tests, both eyes are fully developed! I do not have to go back to the doctor until December for this issue.



I have been home since Memorial Day, and Mommy and Daddy have not slept since Memorial Day... hee hee. Well I guess it isn't all that funny. I was having some gas problems. But I did go to the doctor and get my formula changed. That seemed to help a little. What helps a lot is sleeping on mommy and daddy's chest. That is the ONLY place I like to sleep. Needless to say, mommy and daddy get very little sleep. Both grandparents have come up to give my parents a break, but that's only for a short while.



Want to see a new picture of me? Alright.......





Do you notice how alert I am??? (I am watching you!) I am working things out day by day. I have physical therapy to make sure I stay buff. But I really have come a long way!

Thank you for your continued support and prayers!

Love,

Riley

Just a little update...

Things at home are going great. I love my house so much that I don't want to sleep because I'm afraid I'll miss something! I get to spend lots of time with Mommy, doing girly things like going to the store and to the doctor. It's a lot of fun.

Speaking of the doctor, I've been there a few times since I've been home. But I also have some nurses that come to see me in my house. I went to the doctor the other day to get a scan of my brain. They just wanted to make sure that everything is still okay. So far, so good.

I am growing so fast, too. Mommy and Daddy keep telling people I'm getting so big. Afterall, I am almost 7 pounds! Those vitamins, even though they taste gross, are really helping me grow big and strong.

Well, I just wanted to let you know I'm doing alright. I have some crying to do, so Mom doesnt forget I'm here!

Love,
Riley
