Ryker is loving home!!!

WOW! it's been a while since I have updated this blog. Well since I have been living with my brother in law I have to play by his rules. He turned off the internet so I have been unable to post anything, but my loving husband got me in touch with internet powers now so we are back in business. Where do I start. There has been a lot happening lately. Ryker has had many follow up appointments with speciality doctors. The first was the ENT doc for his nose. We were informed that his nose has gone worse so we will be doing surgery next year on January 15th. Yes, more hospital time. But hopefully no complications this time. So the heart doctor told us she wants to do another Echo on his heart during surgery. I guess he has Pulmonary Hypertension. Pretty much high blood pressure. They want to make sure his PDA heart issue was completely closed up. Another fun, but not so fun event happened. Ryker is two months behind in vision. He needs baby glasses. We got him sized and fitted for them last week. We are just waiting for his prescription lenses to be place to he can have them ready to go. Hopefully by Christmas he will have his specks!
Last weekend was a scary weekend. We made a trip back to the hospital. Ryker couldn't breath and was turning purple and limp. I was a worried mama thinking he might have to stay in the hospital for much longer, but after an emergency room visit, ambulance ride to Primary Children's, and more doctors found out he had a block nasal passage. After heavy duty suctioning we were good to go home. Thank goodness it wasn't a long stay.
We also had family pictures this week with the Allen side of the family. Baby looks pretty cute in his awesome outfit. We also had some fun visitors this week. Grandma and Grandpa Allen came up and Aunt Jen and Uncle Godfrey. Ryker loved his uncle Godfrey. Snuggled right into him. It was pretty dang cute!
The last couple of weeks we been working on muscle tone and exercises. Ryker is able to move his head side to side now and is learning to hold his head up. We also have been working on sucking. Occupational therapy has had him suck on a tootsie roll and drink 10 ml of banana milk. He enjoys every minute of it. He kicks his legs and just wants every bit of the tootsie roll. It's pretty funny,
Bailey has finally understood that Ryker is here to stay. He loved trying to be close to him. I am not too worried about Ryker being over powered by the dog because a couple of nights ago Bailey wouldn't let anyone near Ryker. He would just growl at everyone even me. Very protective puppy. I knew Bailey would be good pet therapy for Ryker Man. Well Christmas is next week. I can't wait to share Ryker's first Christmas with you all. Until next week. Thanks for all the love and support from everyone. We appreciate it!.  Oh PS since we totalled the truck, we got another family member. Check out the new and improved PJ Allen Vehicle. Yes it might be very mommy, but that's what you get when you have a baby in the household. Ha
