Ryder has Pneumonia, and a bad ear infection. Ugh. He's been sick for a few weeks, but the other night Ryder kept us up all night coughing. So I took him in....cuz with Ryder its, "when in doubt, check it out." Dr Guthries been seeing him lately. Dr Guthrie has 2 special needs children of his own, so he understands how it goes! He's wonderful.
So Ryder has no fever or signs of pneumonia, so he was doubtful..that is until he listened to his lungs. Sure enough, pneumonia! My huge fear! AGH! Since he asperates, he's High risk. I almost cried. I'm grateful for Ryder's special spirit. But anything that is as dangerous as Pneumonia, terrifies me! So now he's on med's and were trying to get him better.
Poor baby though. I really don't think he knows what it's like to not be sick. I hope he gets the strongest immune system from all of this! haha.
Greg and I are well. Greg is starting up working at University of Phoenix at the end of the month. We are very excited for this! yay.
I'm well, just stressed with Ryder's stuff. I just feel so bad for the lil' guy. Ryder and I have hung out at home all week....doing our own therapy, since he can't have any come over. That's the worst part, having no therapy for so long really sets him back with CP. But thats why I pay attention to what the therapist's do while here.
That's us this week.

Oh man, you just can't catch a break. Poor guy, he's tough but we'll be praying for him. Love the family pics. I didn't know you had such a big family. So much fun!! Does being in a warmer climate affect his CP at all?
I just saw your comment on facebook. All I know is you have one of the toughest kids in the world. You all are always in my prayers!! (I actually say them now) I wish Ryder a speedy recovery!!!
Hey it's me. When we had Taylor, Jamie's doctor told us "you know what Bill Cosby says about having kids don't you?" we said "no what" and then she said "He said, you aren't parents until you have two". After seeing what you guys have to go through, you are definitely parents now. Keep up the good work. Doesn't it suck to have to watch your kid be sick?
poor baby!! but he's so gosh darn adorable!!!!
the worst part ... other than they don't feel good... is they can't communicate what they need OR what's wrong. I HATE THAT!! you just have to guess & hope it works. try and get some rest.. :0)
You are an absolute inspiration Kira. Life's trials are piled at your doorstep and yet you find a way to make it through the doorstep. Hmm?
In other words you seem very strong whether it is for you, your son or for your whole family I don't know. I am so inspired by what you do.
It's just one thing after another for Ryder, isn't it? He's going to be one tough kid when he grows up! And you are such a good mom. You sound so positive, despite all of the challenges. I'm sure you're being blessed for that!
hang in there. Hope the little guy gets better fast!!
man! i hope ryder feels lots better SOON!!!!
