Battling on!

Ryder has had a good day so far!!  Another diuretic was added back last night as his blood pressure has been stable; in fact it is so good today one of his pressure medications has been cut in half.  The steroids that were added yesterday seem to have made a big difference...Labs have been stable and he isn't requiring extra oxygen through his ventilator today.  A repeat ECHO today showed his cardiac function still looks good - possibly some tricuspid reguritation but hard to say if this was really different than last week. 

Tonight we are hoping for more urine output to get rid of some more edema - it would be really fantastic if Ryder's surgeon could close up his chest incision site early next week!!

Keep battling on my little warrier - you are doing such a great job!  So thankful for all of the positive progress today.  Thank you to everyone who has been praying for Ryder, we appreciate all of your support so much!!
