re: Ryan Update & Pics **updated 3/2** HE'S HOME!!!

Glad to hear all is well so far. You are in my thoughts! Stay strong and keep us posted. Can't wait till you bring him home!

He is so very handsome! And so little. I'm glad to hear he is doing so well   and I'm glad to hear that you are doing good also. Hang in there and keep on updating us 

Quoting Brittany -- Ryan's Mommy:“ 30 weeks, 2 days. He only weighed 3lbs on the nose, and was 16in long.. so a long skinny little guy  ”

yeah, he was long....the girl I worked with that had her daughter at 28 weeks was 14 1/2 inches, and 2 lbs 11 oz. She weighs almost as much as my Chubkinz now....she didn't take long at all to catch up. 

I'm glad to hear you both are doing so great.....keep us updated.

My 28 weeker was 16.5 when she was born   She looked absurd to say that least, we love her anyways =)

Quoting Brittany -- Ryan's Mommy:“ So Ryan got taken off of his ventilator and his C-Pap today!   He's breathing all on his own, just has ... [snip!] ... all the time but he kept it in all the time.. I finally got to hold him.. this picture shows how tiny he REALLY is.”

Aww how cute! Reminds me of my lil one. I had him at 30.5wks 3lbs 4oz and 16 1/2 inches and he's almost 4 months (2 months) and 10lbs 8oz and almost 21 inches (I think I havent measured him in a while ). I know what you are going through it's rough but he will get trough it and soon you'll have a lil cubby one on your hands too!  My prayers are with you! Take care

He is so perfect. I am so glad to hear he is on canula. He is adorable!

So glad to hear he's making good progress. He is absolutely handsom. Keep strong mama.

He is so beautiful! It is great to know that he is doing really well. I had a preemie too, if you ever need to talk PM me. Take care of you and that baby!

Wow, she was really long....I had a scare with Megan at 28 weeks, but fortunately my contractions weren't dilating my cervix, and they were able to keep them at bay with procardia....and even after I went off that, they still weren't dilating my cervix, but were regular, so they ended up inducing me, talk about Irony....

Back to Brittany, I hope Ryan's still doing well, and keep us posted hun....take care for now.

Your little girl is soo cute, how old is she now???

congratulations on the progress!!! that's so amazing that at only 30 week she can breathe all on his own with just a lil oxygen... that's such a miracle!! good luck with his progress and i hope he gets to come home soon!!!

Yay for the updated information. That's awesome he's doing so well and only getting better. Woo hoo!  

Thanks everyone!   Hopefully he'll move out into the intermediate care nursery,cause then the next step is home!!
