Day 73
3 pounds 6 ounces
16 inches long

Ryan had a good day yesterday. He ate most of his bottle. He wasn't able to get his last 10 ml eaten within the 30 minute time allowance, so the last was given through his tube. I think he was concentrating on business on the "bottom end". This is what happened a couple of days ago when he wasn't able to eat well. If you feel led you might say a little prayer that Ryan would be able to more easily take care of his bottom business. He doesn't have a problem. It is just that his little abdominal muscles and other muscles needed for "going" aren't very developed. With a little help of a suppository he does well, but they are wanting to give him every opportunity to do it on his own.

Today Grandma, Wade, and I will be going to CPR class and Discharge Teaching class (learning how to care for our preemie at home). This is a very exciting step towards going home.
