Riley update

Riley has been having trouble with her left arm lately. It has been swollen off and on for about three weeks now and her doctors still aren't sure why. We have run a few test but can't find the cause. Right now the best guess is that due to all of the central lines and IVs that have been put in that arm in the past that she might have some scaring that is causing circulation issues and therefore that arm is not draining well. We are taking her in to see her general surgeon soon to run some more test and hopefully get some answers. Please join us in praying that this be resolved soon and easily.
But other than the issues with her arm, Riley has been doing really well. Her lungs are nice and healthy and she continues to show improvement in many areas during her therapy sessions (all but those involving her left arm - the swelling has been causing her difficultly lately). One thing her doctors did say is that most of the time these type of things just go away on their own so we hope that will be the case and we will have good news to post soon.

Thanks for your prayers and love!

Much love,
The Turners
