Today, Ryan was the most awake and alert we’ve seen him. The doctors have lowered his sedation meds over the past several days and today he really came to life. Below are some pictures …

This morning Natalie was lying in bed w/ me and said. “Dad, Baby Ryan is very little, Ainsley is small, I’m medium, Mommy is big, and you are very huge, right?”

    He is so handsome! I think he looks alike like your little Ainsley with his eyes open.

    May God continue to bless your precious family!

    The little king has a blue crown on his head. What a blessing that he is more alert. I’m on my way down so I can see him before I leave for FL. Thank you, God! Love, Marmi Marquiss

    Wow! Aside from the tubes, Ryan looks so strong! Alot of times babies that are sick like this LOOK sickly! He looks like he has the strength to fight!! Praise God for that!! I’m so happy that you guys are able to spend awake time with him so he can hear familiar voices! You are doing a great job!!
