Yesterday when the kids were leaving the NICU after their visit, a nurse asked them if they liked seeing their baby. Lucas spoke right up and said.
"Yes. Our baby came early. He wasn't supposed to come until July. But his sac that he sleeps in broke so he had to come out to find a new bed.".
Today's updates: Totally off oxygen, IV practically has just fluids and nothing else (probably will remove IV tomorrow) and he didn't officially latch on earlier while nursing but super close and is definitely getting the right idea.
Yay Yay Yay for all the good news! If he keeps that up your going to have to take him home soon!! Yay!
ReplyDeleteSo excited that Ryder is doing so well!
ReplyDeleteHow cute that Lucas aid he just needed a new bed so he came early! Haha!
Lucas is so cute! He had to explain it to the nurse, huh? LOL
ReplyDeleteRyder will be out of there in no time! Little champ!!
Sounds like things are coming along. I pray that they continue.
ReplyDeleteHow cute it is the way that kids understand things.
LOL! Out of the mouths of babes! So awesome to see Ryder make such leaps and bounds.
ReplyDeleteWhat a champ! Lots of full term babies have more problems than your little guy. He definitely has someone watching out for him and protecting him!
ReplyDeletePrecious!
ReplyDeleteGlad to hear all is going well.
That's really cute of Lucas. I thought you were going to say something about him praying that he'd come early. Whew, that would have been crazy.
ReplyDeleteHe'll like his real new bed at home the most, and you will too. Glad he won't be in the NICU for way long because he's doing so well!
