Josh and I just want to say thank you to all of our friends and family for all of your love, help, and prayers. The outpouring of support has left us speechless and extremely humbled. I wish I could put into words the impact that your prayers, donations, and support have had on our family. The saying "it takes a village" is so true in Riley's case - we could not make it with out all of you. I am overwhelmed by the incredible people God has brought into our lives that live with such an open hand and an open heart toward others. So THANK YOU to all the nurses who have volunteered their time, all of the friends who have pulled all nighters with us, everyone at Celebration Church - y'all are INCREDIBLE, everyone that has donated to help fill all of Riley's medical needs, everyone that keeps praying & interceding for little Riley, and our wonderful family that has come around us & supported us since day one. We love you all and we are so grateful for everything!
Much Love,
Becca and Josh
PS - Please keep praying for Riley's gastrointestinal system. We are still having trouble with her vomiting and hope to correct the issues without major surgery.

HI Becca,
Someone put a flier about Riley in my mailbox and as I saw the photo and went on your website tears were streaming down. Your story and the photos of Riley look so similar our son Kevin who was born16 years ago. Kevin was a normal pregnancy but was born with multiple birth defects (TE Fistula, Trachial malasia, and gastro problems) Kevin had a trach for four years, a g-tube for 2 years, constant vomitiing for the first year of life , failure to thrive and vertebral anomalies, etc. I don't know what Rileys medical problems are but I want you to know you and your family will be in my thoughts and prayers. By the grace of God, Kevin is now 16 years old and though lots of scars from surgeries he is healthy now and will be junior in high school this year. Riley is a beautiful baby and I want you to know that you and your family are in our thoughts and prayers.
God Bless you,
Lisa Craig
Hi Becca,
The first time I heard of Baby Riley was during Shine, but never really knew the extent of her situation until after just reading this (thanks to FB!). Brought memories back of my own son who layed in a hospital in a coma at 1.5 months--I almost lost him--now he is 5. My thoughts and prayers go out to you and your family as you go through this. I know God will continue to perform miracles that only is a "God thing." May His peace and comfort continually be experienced in your lives through His grace and others reaching out to you.
