Update

A brief recap of what happened yesterday. Ryker had been doing great after being extubated, then all of the sudden his alarms were all going off, he stopped breathing and turned blue. The Dr's and nurses got him breathing again and thought all was well. Rachel had a nagging feeling and felt like something was not right. She said that he looked like he was drugged, did not look like her baby and was out of it. The nurses told her that he was just tired and he was okay but the feeling would not go away. Rachel was later informed that the fact she was so unsettled with how he was acting made the nurses think that something else may be wrong and got multiple Dr's to look at what the problem could be. Ryker had not ate in about 24 hours at this point and as it turns out they did not lower the dosage on any of the medications he was already taking plus added another prescription.  His body was not handling the medication well which caused the problems he was experiencing. Once they reduced his medication dosage they started noticing improvements right away. Dr. Pedro del Nido has been in to check on Ryker this morning and he says that he looks great. He also told them he would like him off of the CPAP by the end of the day and on the blender (mixed fresh air with room air).

Please continue to pray for Ryker, his Dr's, his Nurses and that his recovery continues to go smoothly and that his family can be back together again. 

The following photos are of Ryker after his medication's have worn off and as you can see he is alert and fighting like a champion.
