Only Ryan :/

Ryan has picked up Lukey's cold/cough, which normally I wouldn't be concerned about BUT (and that's a BIG BUT!) it definitely started unlike other colds that Ry has had in the past.  With Ryan we can almost always tell when he is truly getting seriously ill.  He gets these deep dark circles under his eyes, he starts ticking, he acts a little more uncoordinated than usual, he sleeps more than usual, acting strange...when something is happening to Ryan, his body cries out and its up to us to notice what is going on.  In everyday life this isn't as easy to detect as it would appear :/  It is our opinion that Ryan has Mito. crashes and spirals sometimes out of control, to the point of an ER visit or a hospital stay :/  Last year, I will state that we managed to keep Ry out of the ER and the hospital all winter!  I suppose our luck had to run out?!  Honestly, I thought that the reason we were not at the ER at all last winter was b/c of the move from a house that was over a 100 + years old to a new house (were we reside now) but, this theory has been blown to smithereens.  I will say, that after spending 4 or 5 winters in the ER and eventually the hospital it was a pleasant surprise when we didn't need to go last year at all during the winter. 


I brought Ryan to the pediatrician today for help with this cold but the dr. said it was "VIRAL" and that this cold needs to run its course :(  UGH!!!  I told the pediatrician that we would be back to see him or we would wind up in the ER (as we have before).  I truly despise the words its only a "VIRUS"!  We shall see what happens with Ryan.

Love & HUGS,
Jenny, Ron, Ryan, & Lukey :)
