Home Sweet Home....Almost

All three of us have finally made it back to the LA area!! On Thursday, Riley got to take his first ride in an ambulance. Along with one of his NICU nurses, a respiratory therapist, and a couple of paramedics Riley made the 3 hour trip from San Luis Obispo to his home for the next month or so in Methodist Hospital in Arcadia. He did really well on his trip (probably better than mom and dad as they drove back in their own cars and worried the whole way back) and is settled in his new state-of-the-art giraffe incubator. He has already won over all of the nurses with his "good behavior" and adorable little face. Ben and I are so happy to be home and are now anxiously awaiting the time we will be given the go ahead to bring Riley home. Here are a few new pictures of Riley.........

Nice and comfy in his new home and all snuggled up after his bath.

Congratulations! It has to feel good to be closer to home and have gotten that trip out of the way.
Riley must be doing well.
He looks great! Betty

Riley looks good...like he knows what's happening and sees all with those eyes...he looks very alert and I'm sure missed you just as much as you missed him on the ride home...but what a ride it was..nothing like coming home after 3 long weeks in SLO..thanks for the pictures...
