Pacemaker surgery update

Update #2

I thought everyone might like to know a little more about how Ryker, Jason and Rachel are doing tonight. Right after surgery was a shock for Jason and Rachel to see him again. They were expecting him to have only gone a few days back in his recovery. After seeing him right after surgery it felt like he had gone back a week. They are happy to report now that he is recovering much fast and his color and body functions are already improving. From this afternoon to this evening they have noticed an improvement.He is back to having breast milk and they are "fortifying" the milk so he gets more calories to help him gain some weight.

The surgeon who put his pace maker in (Dr. Baird) has been amazing. He has stopped by Ryker's room three times following his surgery to answer any questions Jason or Rachel have. Rachel and Jason are more than happy with the care Ryker is receiving. Rachel says" It is so comforting knowing our baby is in the best place possible".

Ryker is out of surgery. Everything went well. It took more time than they were expecting so that worried Jason and Rachel. They were told it took longer because the Dr. wanted to make sure and position the leads from the pacemaker to the heart perfectly. Thank you for the prayers please keep them coming so he can recover well.
