Birthday Baby!!!

Happy 1st Birthday Miss Rowan Ruth!!!

Today started off sleepy. With all of our trauma yesterday, it took a while to get going...






Goodmorning Ro baby!






Let the presents begin...
























Cupcakes!!!







Around 2 she finally changed into her birthday outfit!












Check my shades!!! Thanks Brenda and Bonnie!












Trying to escape!
























Eating some cupcakes:)
The icing wasn't a hit, but the chocolate cake was delish!

Rowan also ate potato soup for lunch- yum! A birthday splurge!

The nurses and Rowan's icu md all sang happy birthday. Sarah and Jake came to visit and Ro received gifts and balloons by delivery!




We have had orders to go to the 12th floor all day, but for whatever reason we didn't get a bed. She has to stay in picu overnight:( I was really hoping to stay with her tonight...

Medically, she's improving, but very slowly. Today they said it could take 2weeks for the steroids to do their job. Her hemoglobin continues to fluctuate, so her body is still breaking down the red blood cells- just not as quickly! Tonight she's down to 5.3- so more blood...

What a year it's been for this little girl! She is the love of our lives!
And here today all thanks to our angel donor-

May God continue to richly bless us again this next year!
