Well, there are a few improvements in Ryan today. His stomach is not as tight as it has been. Although it didn't look like the swelling had gone down much, there was definitely a difference when you touched it. His legs were a little less swollen today and when he worked with the physical therapist, he wasn't as tired as he had been the last few days.
His diet has been upped to a full liquid diet and he had potato soup for supper. He was glad to be off chicken broth. If he tolerates that for a couple days, he'll be moved to soft diet.
He lost 5 lbs from yesterday to today and they gave him another shot of lasiks this afternoon, hoping that will continue to help him get rid of the extra fluids he is holding.
He is off the heart monitor and doesn't have to be hooked up to his IV except when he's getting his antibiotics. So, lots of changes today, we pray tomorrow continues the upward trend.
Please continue to pray that things get better. Aubrey and I are missing Ryan at home.

We are continuing to pray for all of you. I hope Aubrey had a good birthday. It is hard to believe she is one. They grow so fast. Keep hanging in there.
