Our Miracle - Ryker's Journey with Heterotaxy

Our Miracle - Ryker's Journey with Heterotaxy

Wednesday, April 25, 2012

Update from Rachel's facebook post - Ryker is doing lots better tonight, thanks to everyone's prayers!! His fever had gotten pretty bad & he had a greyish tint to his skin. It was a scary morning!! So Dr. Del Nido put him on 3 heavy antibiotics & within hours his color returned & his fever went down, :) He still has a mild fever & his white blood cell count is still a little high. Just hoping the antibiotic will take care of it. Please continue to pray that the Dr's will find the reason for the fever & that his kidneys will be okay through all the antibiotics! Thank you all!


Update from conversation with Rachel. Along with the infection and fever Rachel talks about above the Dr's and nurses have also been concerned that Ryker may have a severe food allergy. He has had blood in his stool and they think it could be from the additives to the breast milk. In order to find out they stopped his feeds altogether for a few hours and then added in breast milk with no additives. He is now up to full feeds of straight breast milk and tolerating it much better. They will run more tests in the morning to see if blood is still showing up in his stool. As you know I will keep you posted :). 


Thank you for all the love and support. We are so thankful to all of you that are following Ryker's story.
