Ryan turned 4 today! Many people proudly wore their Ryan Express t-shirts today. We stood out all around my school today and it was awesome to feel that kind of support!
His teachers said he enjoyed his GFCF brownies with his friends at school today. Unfortunately his cough has not improved. We took him to the pediatrician and she said it is croup and put him on a steroid medication.
Phil and I have both noticed that Ryan's memory seems improved. He is singing the words to songs that he was never able to sing before and just in general when we tell him something it doesn't go in one ear and out the other. It's nice to hear him singing songs on the way to or the way home from school!
My brother wanted to take everyone out to dinner tonight. We looked at some of the menus of local restaurants that specifically have GF menu items. We considered Uno's and Bugaboo Creek before settling on Outback Steakhouse. I was a little worried because I knew Ryan would want the french fries, but the menu specifically said that the fries are not GF. I ordered him grilled chicken and asked the waitress about the fries. She assured us that they are indeed GF because they will fry them in a separate frier and use oil designated only for GF items. So we ordered the fries (to be honest I was going to order them anyways). There was no way we were going to get him to understand why the rest of the kids were eating fries and he wasn't. All 9 of us were wearing our Ryan Express t-shirts and several employees and patrons asked us about them. I took several pictures and will post them on The Ryan Express Facebook page.
