Making the Best of It

Aubrey and I did some shopping yesterday morning and picked up her pictures at Sears and then came to the hospital to visit Ryan. Aubrey can only last about an hour, but she really enjoyed yesterday's visit. The nurses brought her a cake and a little purse and puppy dog. She also got a crown, mirror, and bracelet. I would post some pictures, but can't do that from the hospital. After our visit with Ryan, we went to Chuck E Cheese's and had lunch with Aubrey's cousins, Kaitlyn and Camryn. Aubrey then went home with Grandma and the girls and they went swimming. She was still going strong when I got home at 8:30 last night.

The swelling in Ryan's legs has gone down a lot, his stomach is still swollen, but isn't as tight as it has been. He was on full liquids, then got moved back to clear liquids, and now he's back to full liquids. Dr. Marinella seemed to think that things were progressing well and that he will probably get to come home next week, by himself, without most of the swelling, without his port, and without his catheter.

Dr. Marinella would like Ryan to start getting off his pain meds, but he is so swollen in some places that it is painful and they gave him tylenol, but that isn't helping. Please pray that the swelling will go down so that the pain goes away.

  1. Hello Wulber family, We just got home from the benifit dance, I think it was a big success, there sure was alot of people there. The music was very good. A big part of the neighborhood was in the crowd. I wish you could have been there. Looking forward to seeing you all again when you get home. Our thoughts and prayers are with all of you daily.
