If all goes according to plan, Ryan will be back to Sinai tonight. I talked to Nancy today, and she said his old bedspace is empty - so hopefully we'll be 'home' soon. Scott's down with Ryan today, and I've had a Sadie day. We had our first swim in G & G's pool, which Sadie loved. It was the most exercise I've had other than taking the stairs to the NICU. We'll be back in tonight for another dip I'm sure.
Ryan's doing ok... had a so-so day with lots of swinging and DSATs.... the surgery won't be an immediate cure for these swings, his lungs are now the problem, and they just need time to grow.
Today's lesson for me is giving up control. I'd love to be there for the transport so that I can see him get settled into his new bed and know for myself that he's ok. Luckily Scott's taking an extra-long day so that he can stay and see our boy get settled. If he wasn't there, I'm pretty sure I'd be making a late-night trip to make sure everything is ok. I feel protective of him because he's a different baby after his surgery, and his nurses are going to have to re-acquaint themselves with the new Ryan - that's why I want to be there... I'm sure they're happy enough to not have me hovering and telling them things they either already know, or will very easily find out. Maybe a glass of wine by the pool is all I need.
Thanks for the updates..... Wonderful to see how much Ryan has grown in the last pictures you sent. He has a very strong Spirit. Kerri, great that you had a relaxing day at the pool with Sadie. Many smiles with her, I am sure. Continued loving prayers are with all of you.
