Grandma Clutsam visits

Today Ryan's Grandma "C" or Clutsam flew in to Bermuda to meet him for the first time. After arriving early on her flight, with a whole suitcase full of baby gifts we headed over to the hospital. Ryan was asleep on arrival, but without waking him we moved him to grandma's arms for an hour or so for a meet and greet. He was very happy and relaxed in her arms. Grandma C was able to watch him get changed, and fed which made him very alert and then drift back into sleep for the night. He is going to really get to know her over the next week or so visiting. Hopefully some of the time at home, but the doctors and nurses don't make promises, they just stay optimistic.

Ryan is still off the Oxygen, and taking some of his feeds orally by the nurses in a bottle. He is for the most part a relaxed baby with no real crying times. He fusses if he is hungry, and has been eating really well. Our next step is to get him off the feeding tube and on to all oral feeds. He has also gained a whole 1/2 ounce past his birth weight. Progress.....
