I can't believe it has been 1 year since my water broke! We have come so far in one year. Tonight on the news, I saw a story where a little girl, who was born Oct 2007 and she finally got to go home today. She was in the NICU/PICU at CGCH for 13 months. I balled through the entire story. I recognized the dad of the little girl, I know we saw him in the family lounge when we had our stay at CGCH. Just amazing, how far we all have come. I think back to the morning my water broke and they told me I would be in the hospital until Ryan was born. I was so scared, but everything we have gone through is so worth it. We have an amazing son, who inspires us everyday. We are so blessed to have him in our lives.
Tim took Ryan to Buddy Builders at the Delta Gamma Center on Wednesday. He was asked if they could use a picture of Ryan in their flyer. We are so excited. Watch out, I think we have a star on our hands!
Last week, we had a meeting with our case manager and his therapists. It was decided that Ryan has made some great improvements, yet he is still developmentally behind. He was approved to have PT and OT once a week instead of every other week and Eye once a month. We are so excited and grateful to our therapists for the increased visits. I think they will really help him catch up.
Enjoy some pics taken over the last week.

Look at him. Seriously you guys are amazing. To think this was such a scary day last year. I love you guys and Ryan looks fantastic in those pictures. Clearly the PT, OT and eye therapy is making a huge difference. Therapists rock. Hugs!!

It was just a year ago and it seems like yesterday and then again

Hey Ryan:
way to go dude - we don't want to learn any foreign songs like "O Canada"
Let's keep it real and only sign for the Cards - Blues - and oh yea Rams - maybe they will all be better next year if you can sing to them.
love to you all
GAJ
