Ryder's Age

New Year's Party in the NICU!

Ryder continues to exceed expectations with his progress.  While having the tube was a minor step back, the breaks from the bottle allow him much needed rest.  We continue to pray for his strength and growth.  He is up to 4 lb 8 oz (born 4 lb 11 oz, but he dropped to 4lb 3 oz at his lowest) and is eating like a champ!  While the doctors and nurses will not divert from their 2-3 week timeline originally established, we are hopeful that he can come home by this weekend.  We thank you for your support, thoughts and prayers.

HAPPY NEW YEAR!! Yes, we had a wardrobe change at midnight and put on his 2011 shirt!

 Ryder's car seat test... he had to sit in his seat for 90 minutes without a change in his biometrics (heart rate, oxygen levels, breathing rate, etc).  Ryder also passed his hearing test (twice).
