I feel like it's been a while since I've posted any pics of Ry. I don't have too many, but here are a couple. She has still been doing well here on the 8th floor. Her cannula sites are finally on the road to healing and I think they are making some real progress. Today was the first day in the past 41 days (yes it's really been 41 days since Ry had the Berlin heart placed) that we did not have to do a dressing change!! It was great to have a whole extra hour to our day to spend on something enjoyable. Actually Ry spent the extra time sleeping in this morning!
Because we had a slightly varied schedule today, we were able to catch the music time downstairs in the atrium. Rylynn absolutely loved it! Puppy danced, Ry danced, even Dr. Barnes who happen to be on her way to a meeting stopped to dance! She sat in her stroller for nearly 30 minutes enjoying each song. We're hoping to catch them again next Thursday.
Here's Ry sharing an Oreo with Pup.
And her excitement of a popsicle. Turns out she didn't really like it though!
Who says you have to pay a lot to get a good manicure? Ry selected a color and painted mine for me. Not bad for her first time!
Getting ready for game day....
Well, usually about this time I'd be making dips and sweets, making sure we've got our tent and tailgating games, and packing lots of cold beverages for a weekend trip to College Station with Gilly, Rylynn and our families. It is our favorite time of year. This year our season tickets are bought, our permanent seat cushions should be in place, and the RV spot will be waiting. However, it just isn't going to be the same Aggie football season as has been ever since Gilly and I have known each other. I didn't think it would bother me much and I told myself that it's too hot to sit out there this year anyways, but I am really just trying to convince myself of that. I will miss it. This is the first year that Ry won't be at a few games, but believe me, next year she'll be running around the tailgate playing with all the other future Aggies. I can't wait.
Don't you worry though, even here at the hospital, she'll be all decked out!

WOW! It's really been 41 days??!! I need to get back there! SOOOOO glad to hear she is doing well! Music time sounds like a blast! She did an awesome job on your fingernails! Pretty impressive! I love seeing the photos of her, especially that adorable smile she has, so thanks for posting! I am sure they have tried this, but if not, put that popsicle in a cup and heat in the microwave just enough to get it off the stick; it's then much like a snow cone and she may like it better that way! ;)
Love ya'll, Prayers continued as always xoxo

We saw the episode with Rylynn. You guys are amazing and so is she. Looks like next week you are are highlighted too. It's too hot to sit outside in CS anyway so you can watch the TV games in the cool a/c while other people sweat through their clothes...it will be worth it. I am glad she is doing well and her sites are finally clearing yo. Must but that cool thing you sewed to make it rub less. I hope her heart comes soon!

Next year, my Rhylan will be the first in line at the Aggie games to play with your Rylynn! YAY! I am so glad to have such a positive post! We are constantly thinking about you guys!

What a great post - love those pictures and I think Rylynn picked that blue polish to show her Badger Pride! LOL game 2 tonight - last week was a barn burner - won in OT 39-33. Hope this week isn't as close!
So glad she is feeling better and her sites are healing up! Carley loves that she still loves pup pup - we talked about how Ry always had to have pup pup with her, especially when she woke up.
Hope you have a good weekend and know that we appreciate every post and pic that you put up! It is so good to see Rylynn and her precious eyes and smile!!
Sending our love and constant prayers,
Linda, Pat, Carley and the boys

Love the new pictures of Rylynn! Not to worry about those football games - it really is too hot to be outside....next year will be much better! Just a fabulous update!!!! I am just beyond excited that she continues to improve. We continue those prayers for her to continue to mend and for that special heart to come soon! You guys are all such troopers!
Love and continued prayers,
