He’s Baaackk!

April 19, 2010/Ryan
Ryan is feeling a bit better. There were a few days last week where he didn’t smile at all. By Thursday, he decided to show me his teeth again. Here he is at his cardiology clinic hamming it up for the camera.

He is still a little snotty which makes him cough some, but he is doing so much better. And yes, he only has one sock on because he likes to pull at his feet. I sometimes find him sucking on a sock while holding his toes. I think you are supposed to wear your socks and suck your fingers, but I don’t have the heart to tell him.
The cardiologist says Ryan looks great… his sats jumped about 10 points in the last three weeks so there was some concern that a new collateral opened up in his heart, but his ECHO showed that instead of a collateral, Ryan’s PAs have grown a little. This is awesome news. She also approved rescheduling Ryan’s cath for mid-to-late May.
He now measures 29.5 inches and weighs 24 lbs. 12 oz.
