HE'S COMING HOME!!!!! tomorrow, or Friday! Thanks to the Dr. Brown bottles, and my lil' man's toughness!! It turns out my kid was picky with a bottle nipple, and the Dr Brown one was perfect for him! And it actually helps with his gassy tummy! So he's coming home! he's drank all per nipple for the last 2 days...and he's finally decided to poo everyday to....YAY!

We are so excited! but we are going to miss his nurses!!!! we love all of them so much! everyone of them!! and the unit sec's to! they are all so wonderful!!! Even the nurses that never had Ryder I got to know so well!! We love them all so much!

Now, Ryder won't be able to have visitors for quite some time, so please be patient. The Dr. said for at least 3 months, due to his preemie immune system...and RSV season! : ( We are only allowing immediate family for awhile. SORRY! but it's his health at risk!
TEN MILLION THANK YOUs To all the wonderful prayers! They worked! God blessed us with a miracle!

HOORAY! And you are so smart to keep him away from people for awile. We lived indoors for about three months too but you will do anything to keep them healthy. The last thing you want to do is have the hospitalized again. Everyone knew that if they even has a slight sneeze they were not allowed to step foot by our baby and then they had to be de-germed before even looking at her. I am still so bad about it to this day and she is 4 but still so at risk for getting sick easy. The NICU will ruin you in that way. CONGRATS!!!

Thanks for stopping by our blog and saying hi, it's always so reassuring to talk to someone from the preemie "club" who really understands what I'm going through :) I read through some of your older posts, and our boys have been through some of the same things (picc infiltrates, brain bleeds...) but Ryder has really come through some scary times! He is definately a miracle baby, some of our NICU "neighbors" have passed away from things Ryder has overcome like a champ! What a guy! Best of luck to you and your family!
