a couple days after surgery and more information

first off I know some of you are getting offended or concerned we won't respond to questions about Ryker. But please remember this is really hard for us. We are dealing with it the best we can. So if we don't answer you, remember we still love you. We are just taking this last "hiccup" really hard. Ryker is a sick and injured baby right now. I didn't go to the hospital yesterday because I was so mad at the situation. Frustration and tears have been my world the last few days. Its been nice to have distractions such as game night on Halloween, trick or treating, and the Home Free concert tonight. But the frustrations and tears are still there. Auntie Tami came with me to the hospital today. Ryker needed a blood transfusion because his own blood didn't have enough oxygen which was wearing out his little body. He got another central line and has been on antibiotics for infection precautions.  His blood has been drawn many times the last couple of days. Yesterday his breathing tube in his mouth was not working properly. His trachea is a very tight fit so they put in a breathing tube through his nose. He will be sedated for a week on morphine and other sleeping aids. They don't want him to move and mess up the stent in his esophagus. So no one can hold him. He has to be very still. They are looking at a week before they check the stent again to see if the esophagus is healed. Then in two weeks or so they are going to fix his nose. So December is a good goal for us now. Ryker will be grown out of all his newborn clothes by the time he leaves the hospital. so sad. Another update will await in a couple of days.
