This is a blog about my family; Michele (I'm the mom), Dad Josh, big sister Zoey Lynn and our new addition Riley Rose. Riley was born with 22q11 Deletion Syndrome aka DiGeorge's Syndrome which we are finding to be a daily challenge

So Riley is doing something called vageling - when she is moving her bowels, trying to get mucus out of her little body, or just cranky she basically is clamping down her whole body. This isn't good as it normally means she isn't breathing, but most of us do it at one time or another. Also, she has a lot of mucus so they have taken a culture of it and sent it down to the lab to be checked for RSV. It is phenomenally common in adults and healthy older children, but in very young babies it can be pretty nasty - so they want to catch it early. This would certainly delay her coming home.
