Ryder is doing great today! and yesterday! he was doing so well they were able to bump him up to intermediate ( a room for babies that are not as serious).

Ryder's arm is looking SO much better! All that is left is a nasty scar that might even go away....for the most part.

He's learned he can push himself around in the crib...they find him often pushed up to the top just chillin'.

He pretty much weighs 3 1/2 lbs...and gaining.

He started physical therapy. He is doing well with it, but his right arm does show a little weakness compared to the left. Right now it's to early to really tell if CP will be an issue on the right side....esp because that's the arm that was severely burnt. So only time will tell.

The next major thing for him is eating...if he does have CP it will take him longer to suck swallow breathe...so keep him in your prayers that he will figure that one out!!! then he can come home to mommy and daddy sooner!

thanks for everything you all do! we appreciate it SO much!
