Mar 8 Update- Rylan Eric Ray

Well.. it's official- yesterday we finally decided on his name, Eric is his father's middle name.but we just like the way Rylan seemed to fit him.

Rylan has been back in the nursery since he was born, and we haven't been able to bring him to stay with Mommy. His breathing had been very rapid and they have been running tests to see what was wrong. Initially he had signs that he had some kind of infection, but the antibiotics have worked great and those signs are now gone. They're going through a big range of scans and tests to see what else may be wrong, but so far everything had turned up well.
We're all hoping his high breathing rate was just left over from that infection.

In the past day he has been doing a lot better- he's usually very active when he wakes up to feed and his breathing rate is now just barely higher than the "good" range... and seems to keep coming down towards normal.

We thank everyone for their prayers and concerns. Thanks for all the support we've received!

I love the name! Thinking and praying for all of you, especially little baby Rylan and Mama Becky...Although, from the pictures I have I can see he is a tough little guy :)
Sending my love, Reena
