Tues 4/28 just waiting...

Ok so Ryan is doing just a tiny bit better. His albumin level is up from 3.2 to 3.5 so that is good. his white blood cell count dropped from 16.1 to 12.8 (which is good). his vitals are ok. The xray today showed slight improvement of a decrease of fluids around his lungs (decrease in pluerailization? maybe). We just have to hope he can maintain this. They had started him on some jtube feedings. Then PT came today and sat him up and he vomitted. (This is the most activity he has had in awhile so maybe that made him sick). They stopped his feedings and will try again after he has a CT scan of his head later today. Other than that we are just waiting for the swelling to decrease and the scar to clear up (pussy right now) and for everything else to stabalize.

    I haven't written before, but just want you to know that I have been praying for Ryan and his family and will continue to do so.
