Riley is back in the hospital

Riley is back in the Pediatric Intensive Care Unit at Wolfson's Children's Hospital again. She started having trouble breathing in the middle of the night Saturday night and we ended up taking her to the emergency room at about 9:30 Sunday morning. She was admitted to the PICU Sunday afternoon with suspected pneumonia. The best guess is that with all the increased vomiting she has aspirated a little and now her lungs have an infection. She is doing much better, but still in the ICU and she is still on a little respiratory support for oxygen and a little positive pressure to help her breath better. While in the hospital they have been examining her and doing a few test to pinpoint the cause of all the vomiting. This morning she had a gastric emptying study that looks for reflux, aspiration, and how well she digests food. After the result from the test are studied the Gastroendocrinologist will determine if she needs surgery or not. We are frustrated to be back in the hospital again so soon and really hope to get her home and HEALTHY.

Although I have my serious moments I have found that for the most part I am a completely ridiculous 25 year old who always says or does stupid things. Yesterday at 4:00 in the morning while driving up I-95 on my way to the hospital I discovered several truck drivers laughing at me as I sang along to my IPOD at the top of my lungs. Do you ever wonder if your life had theme music what would be playing at different times? Well yesterday morning, I found that moment's theme music and felt the need to sing along (at the top of my lungs and very off key). So here are the words to our theme music for this week :) . . .

We love you Jesus by Shane and Shane

Opening the door to dine with Him.
Traveling to Earth to let us in.
Laying down His glory crown of old.
Setting up the wedding feast foretold.

Oh, we can't contain our love.
We turn it up loud.

We love You, Jesus!
For so many reasons.
For death and life and freedom.
Even now, we love you.

What manner of love is this that You would say
your sin is Mine, I'll take it to the grave. (then rising).
Death oh, death where is your sting today?
Death is swallowed up in victory.

We love You, Jesus!
For so many reasons.
For death and life and freedom.
Even now, we love you.
We love You, Jesus!
In and out of seasons.
In valleys and on top of mountains.
Even now, can we sing.

We love you Jesus.
Jesus.

I hope you have a great day and please keep praying for little Riley.

Much Love,
Becca
