Riley Update

I am horrible at blogging and haven't kept up with it at all lately! Sorry! So here is a very late Riley Update . . . Riley just got home from another 6 day stay in the PICU - she stayed for 5 days from the 11th to the 16th and then went back in on the 19th and we just came home today - it has been an exhausting two weeks! The doctors' best guess is that Riley has some sort of viral infection that is causing inflammation in her lungs and wheezing plus poor gas exchange so she has been on oxygen for several days now. She is on antibiotics for a possible bacterial infection but there is nothing that they can really do for the viral infection except try to alleviate the symptoms as best we can and just wait for her to get better. It will take some time for her to get over it but she is doing much better. She is still on oxygen and still has a little bit of a wheeze from time to time but we are so glad to have her home again and I know she will get much better sleep in her own bed (and so will we now that she is home!).

Also, THANK YOU SO MUCH to everyone who participated in the Golf Tournament and the Benefit Concert! I am amazed at how loving and supportive everyone has been! We could not ask for better friends and family! We love you!!!!!!!!

Much Love,
Becca
