Photos of Ryan

We have finally been able to upload some photos of Ryan:
Just after Ryan was born (first NICU consult, pre-whining sounds)

7lbs even, 20 1/2 inches

Thank goodness my OB caught him!

Looking at mommy
After admission to NICU- with CPAP machine
Ryan's "bed" in the NICU
Another pic while he was on the CPAP machine

Ryan after his lung collapsed, the air was removed from his chest cavity, and then he was provided with oxygen in his "hood"

Trying to get his pacifier in the hood

The photo is dark, but you can see one of his feet was folded flat-footed against his bottom. I suspect this was how he was situated in the womb!

He's so adorable, Julie! I'm glad you got to hold him and so glad he's doing better. I'll continue to pray. I did tell Ethan's teachers in the women's ministry, so you may hear from them.

What beautiful eyes! That is so wonderful that you got to hold him, such precious time I know. And that he got to look at you, spiritual!
