He's doing good today...the DR's are still concerned about his belly, but it should be ok by about Thursday....we hope! until then, they are starting to feed him 1 cc every 12 hours. Even though they are not feeding him very much, he is still getting nutrients, and fat through his broviac (IV). He doesn't weigh what he should at 30 weeks, due to the tummy infection, so they are giving him for fat and nutrients.
His heart murmur hasn't been picked up lately when they listen to his heart....so hopefully that means it's finally closing!! : )
His arm still is looking gross, so they are trying a new medicine to heal it quicker then what it is now. Most likely it will leave a huge scar...but at least it didn't damage any major nerves or muscles!
He's been sleeping a lot lately!!! Hopefully that means he's growing faster! the nurses always laugh at him because he's always wide awake, staring into space...they are always telling Ryder to shut his eyes and grow, but Ryder doesn't listen! (stubborn like me!)
OH! the Dr's told us that baby boys are pretty wimpy up to like the 31 week...they call it "wimpy white boy syndrome". They say when Ryder makes it past the 31 week (this week) he should grow fast and healthy after that.
Thanks for all the prayers and faith! They keep him going strong!

ha ha, it's true about the whimpy white boy syndrome! I hear nurses saying all the time that black girls will fare the best! And girls usually do better than boys in general. don't know why. But Ryder is a strong boy and will start to grow soon!!
Marcy (Powell) Buzuleciu told me how to find this. What a beautiful baby boy you have. You will all be in our hearts. I will tell Lyn how to check this out too. He is a lucky boy to have a Mom like you. I'll be back to see you all again. Love, Carol Buzuleciu
