So pleased to hear your news Barb. I think you must be the strongest person I know. Life does go on indeed and we have both been blessed with new beginnings and that is such a help when we face difficult times. Hope Ryan continues to make good progress. Well done Josh for the garage gym idea.
Far better to make a plan for something useful for Ryan than to drone on and one about how the hospital isn't doing its job and Ryan should be home and no one ever does enough yada yada yada (Josh as opposed to Chuck).
We got the new air filled mattress today on trial. Of course the one they brought started alarming in the truck so I got the backup mattress. (just the kind of day I had). But they're bringing the other one tomorrow.
So let's hope it all continues to go well and most of all - his skin stays clear.
Ryan has been gloriously happy since coming home from hospital. His workers here are so happy too. We are all planning a trip to DIsney World with Ryan in October (if the big bad witch allows). We will go for Mickey's Scary Halloween Party and all dress up!
Ryan has been on outings and today he will return to his day program where his friends have really been missing him. He will also get to go see the Lorax at the movies.
He LOVES his new mattress. Who wouldn't? It massages him all night. When I go in to check on him - he just looks so comfy and if he happens to be awake - he sports an ear to ear grin.
No word from Daddy dearest. He will suddenly demand to have him brought to him in the near future. But we'll roll with it.
SO glad that Ryan LOVES his new mattress ... yes, it sounds heavenly! Amazing how it can make such a difference! Such wonderful changes in all your lives from just a couple of months ago ... so happy for all of you!
Ryan is healthy & happy. We all feel he is doing better than he has in probably a year!
Today we took him for a boat ride. He was so happy! Just lounged on the seat with his feet up.
That nightmare of a supervisor has not made contact since he got home. Staff has told me first that she had a family crisis, then that she was on vacation. Very strange. But it has been refreshing. I know she'll be back - probably tommorrow but the rest of the staff have been handling things quite well.
Barb~ your such a great mom and Ryan surely fairs well because of YOU!!!

Thanks Sandy! Raising Ryan has been a real challenge but I'm pleased to be able to rise to it and when he does well like he's doing right now - it is a high like no other.
