Surgery
Ryan's surgery is scheduled for Monday. It's a strange mixture of relief and terror to finally know the date. We are meeting with the surgeon tomorrow morning to go over the surgery, although I think we already understand exactly what they are going to do. Today was a little stressful. They decided to again try to wean the prostins and then two hours later cardiology called and said to start weaning his oxygen as well. When I had talked to neonatology earlier, they had said we would do one then the other. It really didn't matter, by the time we started to wean the O2, his levels were already in the 70's, so they stopped. By 9 they had permission from cardio resume the prostins, so one step forward, one step back. Nothing much else going on at this point, just hoping for all to go well this weekend. Thanks to all who have posted and all who are thinking about and praying for us. It is nice to know Ryan has so many people cheering for him.

I hope they get the prostins and O2 figured out very soon. Maybe having the surgery sooner rather than later will leave you less time to think about it and worry ahead of time. I'm sure you'll be freaked out during the surgery no matter what, but he's a strong little boy and he'll come through it all just fine. How long will the surgery last? Let us know if you need anything.
Know that you all will be forefront in our thoughts and prayers on Monday, especially. Put your faith in the Lord and the skill of the surgeons. All will be well- and you'll be able to look back and say, "Remember when..."
