Great Report!!

Ryan had a series of check-up’s today which yielded some VERY exciting news!!!

First thing. . . . .He only had to get ONE shot!! He had his RSV injection this am and the Neonatologist felt that he was doing well and didn’t need any further lab at this time!!
Ryan also received a second round of good news. His oxygen levels are doing well enough that the doctor felt that his oxygen can be weaned to ¼ of a liter at 100%!!
Thirdly. . .Dr. L felt that Ryan can now have 2-3 One hour trials off of his oxygen a day!!!
Our little boy is growing well!! He is right at 8lbs and 21inches long! With his steady growth he is slowly weaning himself off of all of his medications!
We will be seeing a pulmonologist next month in addition to the neonatologist. Dr. L wants to have him evaluated and established with the pulmonary doctor so that once his lungs mature he will have the proper set of eyes watching over him.

Ryan celebrated Mardi Gras with his Auntie Lesha at lunch today. He was fascinated at her beads!! He even tried to sneak a few away while she wasn’t looking!!
