prayers & praises!!

Just an update on the boys... Reed is most likely coming home this week!! YEAH!!! As long as he behaves himself and doesn't get into any trouble, he will be d/c'd after we take infant CPR (requirement for parents with babies in the NICU.) So, we are very excited about that! However, it looks like Ryan will still be there for a little while. It is going to be very sad to leave him there and take Reed home. And, I just wonder how confused Drew is going to be??? Anyway, Ryan is gaining weight... he is up to 4lb, 12 oz. He is tolerating his tube feedings, and sucking his passy without problems. He is just still needing his oxygen. And to add insult to injury, this weekend he has developed a cold. Bless his heart, he has all this yucky nasal congestion, so they have had to turn up his oxygen to 2 Liters at 50%. They are testing for everything under the sun, but so far, everything is negative... including RSV. So, that is definetly a good thing. If he has a bacterial infection, he will get a round of antibiotics, which will mean getting an IV line back. Of course, if this is just a viral thing, it will just have to run its course. Which, for a 4 1/2 week old preemie, this is a little set back. So, say a little prayer for him... he is definetly a little trooper.
