Ok, so there have been a few requests. First things first – Ryan is doing well and the plan now is to start weaning oxygen and meds again, and work on feeds by mouth. Deja vu, huh? I think I wrote that about 2 weeks ago. 🙂
Now on to the questions –
Sarah Joy wants to know how the girls are doing…. they are doing well. It seems they might be have allergies or colds – I’m not sure which so they will be staying home this weekend. I’m sure they won’t mind since they are at the hospital almost every day.
Misty is wondering about PT for the secretions – yes, they call it chest physical therapy or (CPT). They basically pound the baby’s chest to help the lungs clear. Unfortunately, we can’t really pound Ryan’s chest, but we do pound his back. 🙂
And, Misty also requested picture updates, so here are some recent photos…oh, I almost forgot…Ryan smiled at me today! His first one. It was for a millisecond, but the CV fellow and I both saw it and looked at each other and said, “He smiled.” Whoo hoo!

How thankful we are for God’s intervention once again. Ryan looked more relaxed yesterday and that was a welcome sight! Marmi Marquiss
I love him so much. Thanks for the pictures and I love the family one. I wish I lived closer by and could be more physical help to you and your family. I think about you often.
God Bless girl.
Thanks for your updates!!! Supermom! We ask and you answer, you are too good to your readers! I love that family picture! I saved it and am printing it to place in my devotional (hopefully the baby won’t get to this one.)
Praying for Ryan as he jumps these next few hurdles and gets back on track for going home and moving forward!
Oh my word!!! He is growing! His face is changing and getting older looking. That is some powerful milk you have mama!
Glad to hear he is back to “healthy”. Hurry and come home Ryan!
Praying for you all and Ryan everyday.
I think Amy wants to be needed so just tell her she is so that we can all see her. Love ya all.
I love the last picture! What a doll! He has definitely started to outgrow that newborn look. I’m glad he is doing better. Still praying!
That last picture just stole my heart!!! ♥
wow, I think I didn’t check in for a week or so. So much has happened ever since with Ryan. We’re glad to hear he’s doing better now.
The pictures are great. He looks like a big boy now! Very cute!
We’ll continue to pray for you.
Lots of love,
Hans, Evelien and Kids
those pics of ryan are so precious… the last one with his bright eyes…and then the family pic… praying for you all and love you lots!
I LOVE that family photo!! And wow – what a difference two days (and a cath) can make…Ryan looks great – so sweet in his “Thursday photo” He is already growing past that “newborn look”! Thanks so much for sharing your photos!!
Have a great week – praying for all of you!
Thank you for pictures, I have been wanting some too!! He looks like such a tough little boy:)
Leighann and Henry,
That picture of Ryan is so beautiful. He’s saying “yep, I’m here!” I love the beads, that is such a neat reminder of all the hurdles that have been leaped over by Ryan in God’s hands.
love ya,
Bonni
