Update on Parker

My nephew, Parker Ryan, was born on Memorial Day. During his first check-up the doctors office found out that he had lost a whole pound in 4 days. They sent him to the NICU at the childrens Hospital in Boise for further testing. During that time, they found lots of different issues with him. One of the big ones, he wasn't able to suck properly so he was losing weight. He wasn't able to latch onto my sister or suck from a bottle. He is now on a feeding tube and has gained 9 ounces. They figure he will be there for another week or two and hoping he will be able to eat by himself. Last night, he spit up the breastmilk from the feeding tube and it got into one of his lungs. They are changing the feeding tube to go deeper into his stomach to try to help the acid reflux. This poor little guy has been through so much during his little life. I hope I got most of the information correct. There are other things going on, but that is most of the things that I know. Prayers Please! :)
