Update

Rachel's post today 7/7/12 
Today my sweet little Ryker is 4 months old!!! I can't believe it's already been that long, yet I can't imagine life without him!! He has been such a HUGE blessing in more ways than I could have ever imagined! I love this boy more than words could ever express!!! This morning little buddy weighed in at 3.55kg equaling 7lbs 8oz which is exactly 1lb bigger than his birth weight & the biggest he has ever been!! :) We're only going up from here! :)


Rachel's post from 7/6/12 
Ryker has had a little bit of a bumpy week, but once the Doctors found out the pain he was having was coming from a double ear infection (ya know, the normal baby stuff that we don't think of with our cardiac kids) they got him on antibiotics & he is doing great now!! The Neurological Development Specialist came in to see him today & after playing with him for a bit she said "Ryker is way above where I would have expected a baby that has spent his whole life in the hospital would be right now! He is up to par on all his neurological development, if not a little ahead!" YAY RYKER!!! She also said he is one of the more alert & attentive babies she has seen in his circumstances especially considering that he still has sedatives on board! She was VERY impressed with my sweet boy! :) He is still doing well with weight gain especially considering the little setback with the ear infection this week! Now on to great weekend!! :)
