GUESS WHAT!??? Our lil' man drank all his meals today!!! he didn't even desat or brady!(go down on 02 intake and heart rate) we asked what it takes for him to go home...they said 2 days of him drinking just fine, and as long as his weight gain is constant. We asked if he might come home this week....and they said yes! maybe! as long as he keeps up the great work! he hit 34 weeks gestation yesterday, weighs 4 lbs 4 oz....what a miracle!!!! so we'll start his discharge stuff now.....we know he may slow back down, which we are prepared for, but we hope he comes home this week, or even next week!!!! keep him in your prayers! they've worked so far!!! I know with out any doubts that Ryder's miraculous steps have all been because of everyone's faith... you can't look at this situation and think there is no God, and miracles...because Heavenly Father carried Ryder through these rough days! there's no other way!!! Every blessing that was given, he did every thing that was promised with his health...and then some! WOW! This is so amazing to see such miracles! We are so wonderfully blessed, and we are so grateful.

I totally agree I have been thinking about this lately, Heavenly Father has carried your family, and Ryder had been so greatly blessed, I can't believe he is 34 wks gest. That is amazing Kira! Your family is so blessed! It is amazing. I am so glad Ryder may be coming home this week... We will certainly keep him, you and Greg in our prayers! Allie loves seeing Ryders pictures! Someday we will all get together!
Love you heaps!
