Baby Ryan Update

Well, things are improving slowly with little Ryan.   His heart rate and breathing are stable and he is maintaining his temperature for long periods of time.   The removed his IV but he still has his feeding tube in place.  He is slowly eating more by mouth, but struggles sometimes to do everything at once (breath, suck, swollow, etc).   Things we all take for granted but I guess little ones need to learn.   Julie returns home today without Ryan, that will be quite strange.. but it should only be for a week or so.  We will manage.   Here’s another picture of Thomas holding Ryan..  enjoy

    That is a beautiful picture of Thomas gazing at Ryan! I know that Ryan will continue to improve and be at home with his family before you know it! I remember our Reilly in the NICU like it was yesterday….Every day Ryan will get stronger and be able to do more things on his own, and until then he is safe and well cared for! Julie, I hope you are feeling well and will feel better every day too! I am so happy for all of you and I think he is just a beautiful baby! Take care and I look forward to the next update! Love, Wendy

    Lord God almighty we just thank you for Ryan- help him grow and learn to breathe and eat and swallow and make him strong and healthy- ease the minds of the Tuckers and reunite this family quickly and bring the new addition home- thank you Jesus for healing power and for mercy and above all for the miracles… Ryan is a miracle- let him feel the love……. let the family grow in love and remind us all how precious each breath is.

    Julie- how I love you all and miss you- sending thoughts and hugs!!
