Nice Weekend

I had a great weekend. It was relaxing and fun. Ryan was such a good boy. We hung out and went on a dinner date Saturday. WE saw a dog and kept telling him to say "Hi Puppy". We went to Walmart and he started saying "HI Puppy". Sunday we got up and took a walk then played and read the paper. He took a great nap and so did I. We visited with the neighbors. When Ryan wants something he points and grunts. That is starting to get on my nerves so I told him to say "More Please". I was on the phone and he kept saying "More Please" and I caught the end of him saying that. I yelled Yippeeeee!!!! He hasnt said it since. I know he can say more than he does. He took a good long hot bath and played, we got pj's on and read books. He slept from 700pm to 630am. He was in a pretty good mood.

We did spend the evening in the ER last thursday. They told me everything was normal(xrays). Then I got a call late Friday that the Chest xray said his hernia is worse and that he needed a upper GI xray. So we are scheduled for that on Wednesday. I also was told his abdominal xray showed a calcification in his abdomen. I talked with the nurse this am and told her he has been choking, coughing, gagging, his stomach is distended. I feel so bad for him. He has been in a good mood but then he cries and acts like something hurts him. I am so fed up with the doctors at this point. I want to have him referred back to the University of Chicago. I cannot stand to have him like this. It is not normal or healthy. If he must have surgery, I refuse to have it done in Peoria. There is definately a listening problem here. Anyway, Its annoying and I wont sit back and let Ryan be like this. No matter what it takes. I will not have it. So right now Im waiting. We see the Easter Seals doctor on Wednesday and I will be talking to him about this also. Im a little stressed out right now. My neck and shoulders are killing me. Some anxiety but I am lucky because Ryan is so good. He is a sweet boy.

Hope everyone is well and pray for Ryan's health.

Love,
Becky
