Today Ryder is being a very good boy! no apnea spells...we hope that means he's growing out of that! yay! The Dr's are slowly starting to feed him more and more...tomorrow they x-ray his tummy and heart. The monitor the heart murmur daily, but Tuesdays they x-ray it. Every other day they X-ray his tummy checking up on the infection (NEC).
Today he has a nurse that Greg and his mom really liked....I'm sure they would, since the nurse is from southern Idaho. We are able to ask the nurse if we really like them to be his primary nurse...Ryder has 3 now! Mariane, a wonderful nurse from the Philippines...after she told us she "loved Ryder, sooo much" we asked her to be a primary. The other nurse is Claire... she's his funny nurse, a good sense of humor...she tells us how she thinks about him even when shes at home, and she hates leaving him when he's having a bad preemie day : ( And now there's Karlee, the cute lil' LDS girl from Idaho....she talks so sweetly to the babies...she said 10 years ago she saw a special on the NICU at ST Joes, and always dreamed of working there...and now she's living that dream....and my son's being cared for by her in that wonderful dream coming true. I might ask her when we're not there to hum some primary songs to him...if it's not to much! : )
Nurses are so wonderful! Ryder's are truly his life savers! we love them all soooooooo much!!!

We LOVED our primary nurses and still keep in contact today. It is because of them that you feel comfortable to leave there bedside. That is neat that one is from the Philippines. That is where my brother is right now on his mission. He is in Tula Tula. Glad to see a day without any A's and B's. That is HUGE!
