All is good

Ryan had his procedure today. They did do biopsies but didnt have to dilate his esophagus and Dr. Liu said everything looked good. Except for all the food packed in his esophagus and stomach. Nothing else for now.

Busy

We had a fast and furious weekend. Had a playdate with some people from work. We did lots of crafts and got some pictures with the costumes on. Ryan really didnt want to wear the coat to his pirate outfit. He looks pretty cute. We had a new sitter for Saturday night. Her name is Abby, she is the daughter of a woman I met a one of the local hangouts. She owns the place and she always stopped to say Hi, and fuss over Ryan. I asked her one day if she knew anyone that babysat. And she said her daughter. She did bring a friend, Brandy. They were both nice and took Ryan for a wagon ride and to the park. He had fun. He was in bed asleep when I got home. I certainly like having someone to call for those times Nana or Oma/Opa cannot watch Ryan.
I went to a benefit for a guy I used to work with. He has a recurrence of Cancer and is having to pay out of pocket for alot of stuff. Rumor has it that they have raised $80,000. Im shocked and so happy for him and his family. I was a fantastic benefit. He has wonderful friends and they did a great job. It was a blast. Carrie and I entered the bags contest. Won the first time, lost the second and we left. Sunday I worked a full day to make up the hours for this friday. That's when ryan has his endoscopy and such in Chicago. I talked with the RN this afternoon. Im not feeling well, so I thought about cancelling but am not going to. I got zofran to help with nausea. Its wonderful. No Im not pregnant. I know that used alot for that but I can say with accuracy, absolutey not!!!!!!!!!!
I have to get packed for Friday, ryan is sleeping and Im headed that way also. Hope all is well. Take care,
Prayers for a good outcome for Ryan's procedure and tests.
He has been healthy for about 3 weeks now. I wonder if the adult pneumovax worked and his immune system is working like it should. I know the test said his immune system is finally responding. Thank God for that little bit. Now if we can just get the rest working right. Prayers, Prayers, Prayers.

Love,
Becky

Fast week

Well, the week went fast and that was nice. We really had a uneventful week and thats an added bonus. Tonight we did laundry and cleaned a little. Tomorrow is the playdate with some people from work. The kids are dressing up and decorating pumpkins. Then Ryan is hanging with a new sitter. Her name is Abby. I keep telling him about her, that she is coming over to play. Im going to a benefit for a guy I used to work with and he is a former patient at my job. Looking forward to that. Im tired and Ryan is watcing Cars. His new favorite show. He is addicted. I hear footsteps so he's probably heading to the kitchen in search of a snack. He gets in trouble for getting into things. He's out of control. So the picture above is from last weekend. Ryan and Jakob in front, and Erika and Jordan in back. I really like this picture.
Hope your weekend is well.

Love,
Becky and Ryan

Fun Sunday, well intended

Well, Ryan didnt get a nap on Sunday. April and the kids came up for a visit. We went to Shore Acres in Chillicothe. I but the kids threw rocks in the water for an hour. Ryan loves that. We then went up and played on the playground equipment. Then went over to a stream that didnt have any water. Got some great pictures of the kids. Im going to get them printed off and hang one in the house. Nice fall photo with cute kids. Then we went to the store for a few things and home to cook out. Then after dinner they had to leave. A 2 hour drive home. I was a fun day. Ryan was cranky. He was in bed at 730am and didnt wake up until 615am. He had a great sleep. He took grapes to school. He was very excited about that. Not much else to report. Another work week has started and we are looking forward to the playdate on Saturday. We have to get a couple pumpkins to take. I hope everyone has a nice week and it goes fast. Take Care.

Love,
Becky and Ryan

Busy Saturday, not intended.

I really had nothing planned for us today. So, I thought well I need a few things at the store. We ran to Walmart and then I remember the kids clothing consignment at Expo. So the car drove us there. Oh yes, I found clothes. I got 15 shirts and 4 pairs of pants for $25. I was so excited. These Clothes he can wear to school and ruin and I could care less. So, that was fun. Then we got gas at $2.79, hello. Thats more like it. Then we came home to get the recycling tubs to take out to the place and we played outside and did a load of laundry. Ryan was a pistol tonight. He would not stop getting into things. Driving me crazy. Everytime I turn around he is standing on the bottom shelf of the Fridge. So, we will be working on his listening skills. They are lacking at this time. Now his counting skills are better. I have never heard him count to 5 and he did then started in spanish. I looked at him like he was crazy, I was standing there with my mouth open, like what the heck. He's smart!!! LOL. He does spanish better than English. Today, I was doing something with flour and had taken it out of the cabinet. He said, Flour. The kid is crazy about cooking. Im glad he likes it but he thinks he's been doing it for 40 years. He isnt allowed near the hot stove but since he's a chef now, its a struggle. He always gets the pot holders out and walks around the stove saying, OK!!! He is a mean stirrer, LOL. Anyway. thats all for now. We are heading to Shore Acres in Chillicothe tomorrow to play and have a picnic. We are all about picnics this weekend. He had one friday night. I made homemade pizza and salad. We sat in the living on the floor, covered by a sheet of course, and watched Cars. It was fun. Something different to start off the weekend. He enjoyed it. He liked the salad and carrots better than the pizza. He's a funny kid

Procedure now for ryan is October 24th, Im excited because we will be able to go to the playdate on the 18th. Really looking forward to that. Seeing all the kids.

Ok, gotta go.

Love,
Becky

Let's try it again

OK, I'm attempting to blog again, hopefully without erasing everything.

Everything is going good. Since last week, I got a call late one night from one of Ryan's doctors. His upper GI was abnormal, totally different from what the radiologist told me the day of the test. He didn't give me all the results. So, stuff is sitting in Ryan's esophagus and it shouldn't be. I called the surgeons office and faxed the report. they told me he need to have his esophagus stretched and then they would look at the nissen(old surgery) to see if its to tight for food to go down. Its weird. I'm still waiting on the scheduling of that. I will probably do it in November.

He is over the worst of his breathing issue's. Off a ton of meds and I'm so grateful. He nose is disgusting. He is continually have sinus infections. The surgeons office said the stuff in his esophagus wouldn't cause that but I bed to differ. Before he had his last surgery that was a problem and after surgery it cleared up. Maybe a coincidence, but I doubt it.

Went to Tanners on Saturday. Ryan picked apples, rode a pony, rode the tractor ride and played. I really think he had a good time. He will not leave the stupid apples alone. Jeez. I put them in the fridge thinking he wouldn't get in there but I was wrong. I can hear the crisper open and he comes in saying, ha ha, with a apple in his hand.

We took a 3 hour nap on Sunday and it was great. Then went to the park and went for a walk and Ryan rode is tricycle. He is doing much better pedaling.

Tonight I made apple cake with all the apples and Ryan helped. he is a very good cook and enjoys it. He stirs and tries to sneak bites of the batter. I just chuckle to myself, unless he gets really out of control. It turned out very good. He had a great dinner and took a shower. He is officially a shower boy now. He does take baths occasionally but boy is it so much easier to do the shower thing. Especially through the week.

He is very tired and I think his sinuses are bothering him. He has dark circles under his eye's. i certainly hope he sleeps better than he did last night. He was up for 3 hours in the middle of the night. I don't know what the deal was. Partly, he was hot and he smashed his hand in the back door on Sunday afternoon. It probably was bothering him. Finally he fell back to sleep.

He really is a good boy and is very helpful. I'm very lucky.

We are looking forward to the play date on the 18Th. It will be so fun to see the kids in their costumes and decorating their pumpkins. We missed the last play date because he was sick. So praying for good health.

I hope everyone had a nice weekend and enjoyed the weather. Have a nice week and hopefully is goes by quick for another good weekend.

Take care,

Becky and Ryan
