Week 23

It was a very up and down week.  After lots of company last weekend, Ryan came down with a high fever on Monday evening.  In hindsight we should have noticed.  He was just sitting calmly on the couch while we were at his cousins' Birthday party.  We believe that he got it from Julia who also had a high fever the weekend before.  He was so sick that on Tuesday he just sat on the couch and watched TV.  Watching TV is never a passive activity with Ryan but this time he just sat there watching.  After a few days he was back top his normal self.

The rest of the week was very positive.  He was interacting with everyone and even came home singing America the Beautiful.  At his new school they start every day with the pledge and this song.  It was too funny hearing him sing this song.  We feel that he has gotten more out of this school in a few weeks then he did at his last school. 

 We are still having an issue with his injections.  While they have gotten so much better over the past month it is still a struggle with him.  He gets himself so worked up that he has a mini-panic attack.  He freaks himself out that this has become a 20 minute ordeal to do a quick 15 second injection.  Tonight I ended up having to hold him down to have Dawn give him the injection.  This just adds too much stress for us every three days.  We know that it is good for him and that these injections are working but it is a very stressful way to start the week.


Hopefully we will have better luck with the injections in the near future.
