MONDAY, JULY 13TH

I haven't updated in a while and wanted to let you know how Ryan was doing....

Today he weighed 9 lbs. 8 oz. and he's 19 1/2" long. Can you believe it?

Last week we went to the pulmonologist and he took Ryan off his oxygen and monitor except at night. We are very excited! When we go back in August if everything is still going well, he'll be off both.

Ryan is seeing a physical therapist to help with his outward rotation of his legs and arms. However, he's making good progress and should be fine. Joey and I will continue to do the exercises with him.

Just wanted to let you know we are all doing well.

Take care and have fun.

JULY 4TH!

Hope everyone is having a wonderful 4th of July!!!

Just want to let everyone know that Ryan is doing well. He's growing so fast! He keeps increasing the amount of his bottle which is great news.

He goes to the pulmonologist next week. Hopefully, he will take Ryan off oxygen and the monitor except for at night.

He had a physical therapy appointment last week and they think he is doing well. Joey and I will still continue to do his exercises at home with him and he will go to PT once a month to make sure he's on track.

Most of the appointments Ryan has in the near future are to ensure he's on track. Because he was so early his development is going to be different than that of a full-term baby. However, there are certain milestones he should be reaching for his adjusted age and the doctors just want to make sure he's making them. So far, so good.

Have a wonderful weekend!

JUNE 22ND

Just a quick update to let you know Ryan is still doing well.

I haven't had a weight on him in the last week, so I'm not sure where he is, but I can tell you he is gaining weight because he's eating more. He does have a little reflux problems, but it's not serious yet.

Ryan has appointments at the OT/PT, pediatrician and hospital this week for testing and evaluations. I'll post the results of those visits.

Everyone try to stay cool! It's SO HOT!

Thanks for your thoughts and prayers.
