3 weeks old!

Ryan had a pretty good day yesterday. He actually looked better than he has in many days. His color was pink, and he just looked healthy. We also noticed that his movements are starting to smooth out a little. Previously his movements have been extremely jerky because of his underdeveloped nervous system. He actually moved in ways that reminded us of a normal little baby. Ryan is now receiving 4 ml of milk every 3 hours. He is tolerating his feedings well. His oxygen needs yesterday ranged from 70-75% and we noticed his pressures on the ventilator went up a little to 17. Ryan graduated to a new size of diaper. The smaller size actually still fits him, but he squirms so much they were afraid it might leak. The new size looks huge on him. He was able to come out from under the bili light again. They will continue to monitor his bilirubin, and he may go back under the light several times before he is finally free of it for good. He still has his "episodes" every time he is handled.

Prayers: Please continue to remember us. Pray for little Kenzie. She has a yeast infection in her blood and is having some intestinal problems. I don't have a recent update on Taylor. I haven't seen her family in a few days.
