Visit to Dr. Bock.
We had an appointment this past Tuesday to get Ryan's blood work results. We discussed Ryan's behavior since our last appointment. He has been regressing in his behavior and Dr. Bock told us that this could be a side effect of the new supplement that he prescribed called PhosChol. We are now taking Ryan off of this supplement, as well as a couple of others, and are trying a few new supplements with Ryan based on his updated blood work. He is apparently low in iron and a few other areas. They are: Iron Liquid, Liquid D3, essentail GSH, Lith-Oro, and a different type of Probiotic. We will now have to get into new routines to fit all of these new supplements into his diet. But we always manage; it is just a bit overwhelming each time we go to Dr. Bock. Ryan was a little shy with the doctor this time but we did have to wait over 45 minutes in the exam room while he was finishing his dinner. We found this out when we complained to the nurse that we were waiting a long time and the kids were getting antsy. The doctor offered an apology once we finally saw him but he said it was based on his first patient that caused the delay, not the fact that his office smelled like fish! Dr. Bock did suggest that we try an IV treatment but we told Ryan that this was not a needle visit and we were not going to sit and wait longer for this treatment. We will have to do a little research on this treatment to see if it is worth the trouble of hooking Ryan up to an IV and having his arm wrapped for over an hour. Overall we were a little disappointed with this visit because we both felt that he rushed us out of his office. He was behind schedule and he was trying to make up time. Hopefully our next visit at the end of August will be better but this one left a bad impression with us.

| Our new banner came in this week, just in time for the walk! |
We are on our way to the walk in just a few minutes so we'll write about it on next week's blog, and for those of you on Facebook, we'll post pictures on the Ryan Express page sometime this week.
We went to an engagement party this weekend at a family member's house. Ryan wasn't on his best behavior and between both kids being cranky and tired, and me not feeling well, we stayed for a few hours and left. But it was enough time for the kids to take a dip in the pool. At first Ryan didn't want to get wet (in all fairness, the water was really cold!) but then he was fine once he finally went in. However, he did make sure not to get water on his face, which he dislikes very much!
