Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday

So as you all notice my posts are getting shorter and spread out. Day to day change not much happening. Still trying to learn how to eat. I went to Idaho for a couple of days for a doctor's appointment and I come back to hear my baby is starting to take a bottle. The last couple of days he eats about hour of his bottle then he is sleepy to finish.  He is trying at least. He keeps gaining weight. The weight today is 5lbs. FINALLY!!! I was also told today he had a great exam appointment. His eyes are almost fully developed and soon he won't be just seeing shadows. Yea! But on the down side. Because he is struggling with eating, the doctors think he might have a swallowing problem. Instead of the food going down his esophagus it could be going down is trechea. We are doing a swallow study on Monday. If that is the case, we will have to thicken up the milk so it's easier to  swallow properly. This experience is like a roller coaster. Up and down and up and down. One good thing then a not so good thing. Ryker's due date is n three weeks, at this rate he won't be home until after that date.  But the up side, he is getting off his high flow oxygen. Back to normal flow and 1/2 liter.  Let's pray he does good on it. Come on Ryker, I know you love the hospital, but your mom wants to go home.
