...to everyone who said a prayer for Rhys. He is doing better today, except he is very restless. The nurse said he's been awake since she got here this morning and he has been fidgeting constantly. It looks like something is bothering him, but his oxygen is in the 60% range, his blood pressure is good and he is peeing a lot. His O2 saturation keeps dropping, but then it comes back up again. He's getting ativan and a little extra morphine to help calm him down. His vent settings are down a little, but he didn't respond well to constant tweaking in his first days of life so we'll see what happens on his next blood gas (which is due soon). I know we've said it before, but it is strange adjusting to every doctor's method. Maybe this is Rhys just getting back into the groove with his original doctor.

About Us
Our family has been blessed with four beautiful babies. Our twin boys, Rhys and Bentley, were born in July 2008 at 23w5d gestation. Bentley developed an infection in the womb and was only with us for 13 hours after birth. Rhys spent five and a half long months in the NICU before coming home and he works very hard to continue to beat the odds.
Zoe Elizabeth was born in March 2010 at 36 weeks gestation. After 16 weeks of modified bedrest we were thrilled she was born healthy with no complications. She is full of drama and keeps us on our toes!
Our latest addition was a huge surprise - completely unexpected, but very much wanted. Beckett was born in July 2011 at 36.5 weeks gestation. His arrival marked three children in the house under three years of age. It's sure to be interesting around here!

Glad things seem a bit more stable for Rhys now. Hoping for another good day for you tomorrow. XXX
Quite a roller coaster, but we had confidence as usual. Rhys is stronger than the average bear.
I'm super pumped he's better today then yesterday. Keep it up!!! I love my mini micro man!

Rhys impresses me everyday with his determination to get well! I'm so glad you called yesterday...Bernie and I will definitely make a trip up to the hospital this weekend. Love you!
Continuing to keep your son in our thoughts and lite a prayer candle today at St. Patrick's in New York for Rhys. Keep ridding the coaster and take care of one another.
