Henry and I are enjoying our first alone time since Ryan was born seven months ago. We’ve always taken time away from our kids to connect (the first time was when Natalie was three months), but for obvious reasons have not done so as often since Ryan’s birth. And, I’ve called the hospital more times this weekend than I do at home probably for two reasons – one, Ryan was extubated the day before we left and I’m anxious to know if he’s still okay; and two, it feels different being double the distance away should anything happen.Β 

As of this morning, Ryan is still flying high and doing well breathing on his own. His gases all look good although his x-ray is hovering at hazy. The nurses say he’s happy and comfortable and smiling as long as his meds arrive on time. πŸ™‚ Β He had a tiny bit of withdrawal yesterday from when they stopped his meds to extubate, but is happy again this morning. Β 
There are no words to describe how Henry and I are feeling with Ryan extubated. He is one huge step closer to coming home… please pray with us that Ryan continues to breathe well and that his little lungs will clear up quickly.Β
