On February 16th at 5 months old, Ryleigh finally had her MRI, and it came back normal. Yay! We went in that morning expecting to be home in just a few hours but ended up having to spend the night in the hospital. The anesthesiologist was not comfortable sending her home with two "apneic episodes" in her past and just being under full sedation. So they wanted to monitor her overnight. I was not thrilled with the unexpected news, but I completely understood and thought it was a wise decision.
The thing I hated the most was she had to be hooked up to an IV the entire time in case they needed to suddenly give her medication. They boarded it up so that she couldn't move her hand and hurt herself.
Since the overnight stay was unexpected, we had no toys and were very unprepared. We found things to do like watching tv (seen here), going for walks around the ward, singing, bouncing around, pacing the room, and lots and lots of more walks.

A little tummy time
We had this half of the room. She slept in the crib, and I slept in the green recliner. It was definitely a tight fit! I asked if I could sleep in the hospital bed on the other half of the room, but the staff said no.

And one last picture to include Dane. He loves his baby sister very much! Muah!
