Hard to believe that Ryan was born 6 weeks ago today. That also means my 'recommended' recovery time is done too. He is almost 31 weeks old and weighs about 3 pounds. Not sure how long he is - haven't measured his length in a while. His recovery is going ok. His nurses have said he's not doing awesome, but he's not doing poorly. "Status quo" they've said. He had another blood transfusion today to help get his red blood cells back up, that should help with his oxygen saturation. I'm in debt 2 blood donations now, once things get settled down. If you have a chance and can do it - donate blood!
They've started the paperwork to get us transferred back to Sinai - they gave away our spot, so now we have to wait for a bed to open up. In terms of his lungs, they say for now, it's just time and letting him grow. Sinai may opt for another round of steroids once he's recovered from the surgery. We'll see. Fingers crossed for no infection... with all his IVs and the incision, and stitch where there was a drainage bag, it's very possible. Although we'll miss the peaceful quiet room at Sick Kids, we're looking forward to our familiar nurses at Sinai.
