Ryan continues to amaze me in his strength. He loves our daughter so much and her face brightens so when I carry her into his room. She is for sure ready for daddy to be home.
Once a teacher... two of Ryan's students came to visit him on Sunday. He was very interested in what they've been working on in class and had to give them a little lesson before they left the room so they'd know what to do when they went back to school today.
Ryan's counts have fallen to 100. So, they should drop off tomorrow and then begin to build back up. He was active today, and although I didn't get to go see him, everytime I talked with him he sounded great!
He is off his oxygen and he had another lumbar puncture today. This was scheduled and is a preventative measure.
The doctor mentioned the word home today, so I am excited that he may well be home early next week.
Your prayers and wonderful comments on this blog are so appreciated.
Ryan & April,
ReplyDeleteGlad to hear things are moving forward. Looks like Ryan is feeling better from last Thursday night. HOME...great word! The power of prayer is amazing and we will continue to pray for your entire family in both Ryan's quick recovery and April's travel. We all know that we are looking forward to Ryan's wise cracks soon!
Ryan, April, and Aubrey,
ReplyDeleteWhat a cute little girl you guys have - adorable!! Love the pics! Ryan aren't you supposed to be taking it easy???!!! Time to put the pencil down, and recover!!
Just wanted to drop you a note to let you know you are in our prayers and thoughts everyday. Our hearts go out to you guys. So sorry you have to be going through this. May God comfort you all during this trying time. I remember seeing a quote on a church bulletin board that read, "Tough times never last, tough people do." I thought of you guys immediately. May you feel the strength of God from all our prayers and may he lead you to a speedy recovery. We will continue to pray, pray, pray, for Ryan, for April and that all your doctors and staff may have the wisdom to get you all back together at home feeling great and serving God with your full potential.
Thanks for all the updates. Get well soon!!
Alan, Vickie (Schmitmeyer), Simon and Eli Dirksen
