Rylin came home on Monday from the NICU. I am glad to have her home but I was also scared to death to bring her home again right now. She is doing well. I think her reflux is getting worse and she has quite a few little choking fits. Nothing like the one in the doctors office though. Hopefully she never has any that bad again. They think she has just got bad reflux and she doesn't have her coordination for the suck, swallow and breath thing down yet. They figure this is stuff she will just have to grow out of. Until then they taught me how to do CPR, rescue breaths, and how to help her if she is choking. We hope it never gets to that point. She was gaining weight kind of slow too when we were in the NICU. Since we have been home she has gained 5 ounces just since Monday. She now weighs 6 lbs. 11 oz. I took her to a check up at the doctor's office today and they weighed her and right after she proceeded to pee a lot on their scale. So she is a good eater.
Rylin is on oxygen and an oxygen monitor right now. It also monitors her heart rate. Hopefully in a few weeks or less she will be able to come off the oxygen.
Here are some pics of Rylin. She looks like she could be Macie's twin except her hair is darker and I think their noses look different. What a cutie!
Thanks everyone for all your prayers and help during this time. We really appreciate all of it.

I'm so glad things are looking up. It's got to be nice to have her home even though it is scary. Hopefully she just continues to do better and better. She is a cutie though. Congratulations.
We want to come by and see her soon! I can't imagine how stressful this must be on you, but we wish for a quick recovery on her part so we can start going out and playing on the weekends again! Let us know what we can do to help.
