Ryker has had two fairly calm days of healing. This photo of him wide awake was taking today. His parents were happy that he was able to have the majority of his tubes and wires taken out of his body. You can mostly see the ones he has left in the photo above. He is still tolerating breast milk well. His white blood cell count was a little high today, while they were taking out all the tubes and wires they noticed the source of infection was from one of his lines so they are treating it now. It is good that they know where the infection is coming from so they can treat it accordingly.
The next hurdle in his recovery is extubation. They were going to try and extubate him this evening but then decided by running some "sprints" that he was not ready. They are hoping to extubate tomorrow. Please keep Ryker in your thoughts and prayers, the first attempt needs to be a success.
Thank you again for all the love and support.
