Ryan had another goodnight last night. He has been tolerating his feedings well and the doctor has written to increase his feeds to 0.6mls! He is still making good urine and his blood pressure has been great also.
His lungs are being cranky but they are going to start steroid therapy tomorrow to help his lungs mature and hopefully decrease his amount of time on the ventilator. We weren’t able to spend to much time talking with him this morning because he his lungs were touchy. He did best when he had minimal stimulation and just rested.
Dean took me to see the Razorback game as an early birthday present. We had a great time! We walked around the golf course for a little while then migrated up to stand at the gate to our seats. We were in for a big treat. We didn’t realize that our gate was directly in the path of the player’s walk though area. We were able to cheer on the Hogs as they entered the stadium! It was a blast!
They had a very nice tribute to September 11, 2001. The Hog was painted red/white/blue and the fans in the stadium really participated in making the seats red/white/blue. It was a very neat site!
I was impressed Dean called the Hogs several times! He said that he did it for me but I think he has caught a bit of Razorback Fever! We laughed so hard at pork chop. He reminded us of Ryan. Dean calls Ryan Munchkin and pork chop looked like the Munchkin to the rest of the mascots!
Speaking of our little man, we stopped by the hospital after the game to tell him goodnight. Gammie made him a special razorback blanket for the game and his nurse found a red piece of fleece to place underneath his head to match his blanket!
He was doing much better on his breathing this evening. I was able to hold his hand and talk him back to sleep!! I could watch this precious boy sleep all day long!
