..and also....

WE HAVE WEIGHT GAIN!  not much, but Ryan gained 2 ounces over the past week, so at least he is going in the right direction--15 pounds even--still heavier than his little sister.  I haven't talked to anyone from the clinic yet to see what their expectations are of him so I'm not sure if this is enough gain to get the IV line out of his leg or if they'll want more weight checks before they do this.   The rice cereal has really helped us and has allowed us to increase his rate of formula again, so that's been key---hopefully we can continue to go up. (Thanks for the prayers, BEN!)  Regardless, we are still waiting for a few more results from the lab tests that were drawn yesterday...
