Yet another set back

Just when we think we've had enough, we had another set back on Tuesday. I developed a fever and had to leave the nursery. My doctor put me on Tamiflu (just in case it was the flu) and said I couldn't return until the fever had been gone a full 24 hours. I was devastated. Once again, I had to leave my baby! At this point, I had been with her for every feeding since her birth and we had finally gotten her off of the formula. Now I had to leave? The hardest thing I've ever had to do. Lance took me home and put me to bed, where I stayed for the next day. He continued to go to the hospital to see Rylee and bring in all the milk I had been pumping.
Luckily, my fever has been gone now since yesterday morning. I plan to go to the hospital this afternoon to reunite with my baby girl! I pray that nothing else goes wrong in the next few days. They are hoping to discharge Rylee on Saturday as long as everything stays stable and she continues to improve. She is doing so well now. She is eating well and gaining weight. Her color is back and I think she is ready to come home. I can't wait to go see my baby again!!!!!
This is my favorite picture. She looks so content and happy!

Hello everyone!

Since Aunt Mandy can't visit her in the nursery, she sent a gaurdian giraffe to watch over Rylee. Rylee loves it. It plays music and slowly moves it's head.

Sleepy baby

The nursery has so many cute outfits!

Look at all that hair!

Grandpa Tom came to visit too
