Today Ryder was a very good boy.....he drank a whole bottle! thanks to his nurse Karlee and her patience! His nurses are such wonderful people! they are his life saving angels! we love them all.
Tonight they tried to feed him again but he didn't tolerate it like he did with Karlee....he was to sleepy! he scared mommy when he dropped his O2 saturation to the 40's! he's usually at a 100...I was sooo freaked out until his nurse ( 2o yrs being a nicu nurse) told me it was totally normal! and not to worry, because it was part of his learning...no matter what I hate seeing him turn blue! ugh....but heck I've seen him blue countless times and seen him breathe again......hopefully he knocks that off soon though, because it freaks his mommy out more then anything!

thanks everyone! it's so good to hear all your uplifting comments! they truly help! I love hearing from our friends we haven't seen in a while too! We are so greatly blessed with a wonderful support system! THANK YOU!!

love us.

oh and sorry we don't get back to you all! we are so busy with visits to the hospital and moving!
