It looks good

Riley's MRI came back and it looks good. The brain stem has expanded and looks more normal and where the tumor once was, is now open space for spinal fluid to flow. She still has her breathing tube as of now (1:35 pm), but by 2pm they will turn off the oxygen completely so she will be breathing on her own and by 3pm she should be extubated. It is hard to sit in the ICU and wait, but we are anticipating holding our baby girl in just a few hours.

    God is so good and I am thankful that your precious little one is making such great progress.

    Thank you for allowing so many of us to join this journey that you have been on.


    God is being praised and glorified because so many were able to participate in taking Riley before our Heavenly Father.

    I am glad that you are all being taken care of by so many.

    Your family has always held a special place in my heart.

    Love, Amanda
