Well we have officially been in the NICU for 9 days and still counting. I wish there was lots of progress but there hasn't been. These are the days that get hard. Our pediatrician did come in this morning and take over care of Ryker. That means he kind of calls the shots now until Ryker is dicharged. We talked about his respiratory rate being too high still and needing to get the feedings going which will still take several days. As far as oxygen we are pretty much planning on taking him home on it and he could be on it for several weeks. Something about this altitude and the pneumonia making it hard for him to breathe. I think they still want to see the actual oxygen levels down too but one day at a time right?
So we'll continue to hope for the best and watch and wait. I think I am starting to learn about this patience thing.... then again maybe not. :)
