On Tuesday Serina and Ryan met with the cranio-facial specialist who met Ryder for the first time. They reviewed some important milestones that Ryder will need to meet in order to receive the surgeries in his first year. During that appointment they found a blister growing on the cleft of little Ryder's mouth. According to the Doctor, it's from the current nipple he's using, so he prescribed him a new nipple. Although challenging the first couple day's, Serina say's Ryder is getting used to it little by little.
Today Ryder saw his Pediatrician again, and he is back up to birth weight! It's normal for a newborn to drop weight after birth but we're always hopeful they return to birth weight at least by week #2. And it's even more crucial for a little newborn who has cleft palate/lip, for it is far more challenging for them to get proper nutrition. But thanks be to God, Ryder, Mommy and Daddy are all doing a great job!
If you are a believer, and Jesus Christ is your Savior, and you have been through a trial. It's beautiful how opened your eyes are to the little reminders of God's provisions. God's so faithful in always sending reminders that He's there with us. Some people perceive these to be "coincidences", yet they aren't. There is a God, He has a plan and all we need to do is seek and find that plan. I've been blessed to say I get chills at the random texts I get from Serina. Just the other day she shared how she had a bad day and she was praying that God would give her confirmation that He was with her. On her way home from the Doctors appointment this is what God gave her.
