Waiting

Ryan's cath procedure is scheduled for today, but we don't know exactly when. I hope it is soon since they discontinued his feedings at 3 am and if he wakes up I think he will be really hungry. Other then that, he had a good night. He continues to be the superstar of the nursery as far as weight gain. He gains around 100 grams a day which is unheard of in the NICU. It's really funny, the nurse always has us pick him back up so they can zero the scale and check again. One even went an got a different scale. He is still doing good with his bottles, drinking them down in just a few minutes. A couple of times we had to use the tube because his resperation rate was to high, but they say at this point it is great that he can tolerate anything by mouth.

Good luck with the catherization today! I hope they don't find any other anomalies. He looks adorable. I love seeing other little babies that like to sleep with their arms up! Both of my kids do that. Let us know if there's anything we can do to help.

Thanks for letting us stay updated on little, or should I say BIG Ryan :). He looks so healthy and definitely Kyle and Grant's brother! Good luck today. We're praying for the best outcome.
