Day 17: March 3, 2019 … 3lbs 1.4oz
It was so nice to be home overnight! It felt like a reset button, which was much needed after a stressful couple of days.
Ryker had a calm night, and fairly calm day. His head measured only 1/4cm bigger today. No real new changes. His sodium came back a little low so they started a supplement for that, and will retest his electrolytes in a couple of days. They also started a protein supplement yesterday since he was teetering between 2lbs 15oz and just over 3lbs. We got some snuggles in this evening, which was so nice. His has a little stiffness in his neck and hips which he will happily let you know if he’s uncomfortable. He flipped his head around the other day on his own to our surprise. He doesn’t like to look left. He got a little cranky yesterday once I had put him on my chest, but after a little readjusting of his hips and legs, he settled right in. PT will be working on loosening his joints so he’s less uncomfortable. Head ultrasound tomorrow. I’m feeling a little less anxious about the results.. I’m not sure why, but I’m sure hoping it’s a sign.
