Updates for today: new cultures of belly fluid still negative and doing well on antibiotics, turned down the ventilator help a little, another clot around his new line so back on the other blood thinner (seriously yuck, but we are going to ignore that little problem for now) because more importantly mommy & daddy both got to hold Ryder on his 2 month birthday for almost 3 hours of cuddle time! Ryder still has a long way to go, but he's fought hard and has come far already since month 1...
Age 5 weeks - extubated...then reintubated
Age 6 weeks - enterococcal/coag neg staph bacteremia; central line infection
Age 6 1/2 weeks - chest drains and pacer leads removed
Age 7 weeks - moved to big boy crib!
Age 7 1/2 weeks - ascites/paracentesis, left lobe of liver infarct
Age 8 weeks - PICC thrombus #2
Keep fighting love! I am sooooo hopeful you will come home soon!
