Monday Still Waiting

Right now we are still waiting to hear actually what is going on with Ryan.

It seems the plan right now is to take a conservative approach and see if Ryan's body can heal itself of the potential blockage and swelling. They do not want to rush into any surgery in fear of how he would be able to handle another procedure at this time. His white blood count has been up and he threw up yesterday evening even with the NG tube in. He was given blood and electrolytes as he was very low on electrolytes from vomiting and diarrhea so much. His abodmen is swollen. Not sure if it is related to his shunt drain or not...

Basically we are just waiting to see what happens and if they can get more clarification of what is going on.

As it stands Ryan is still fighting...

  3. We're doing our "nightly Ryan check-in" as I know so many people do. Thinking of Ryan and the Creeden's tonight and sending as many positive thoughts their way as possible. We're all still here, and we're all still pulling for Ryan, we know he can do it. keep fighting Ryan. Love to you all.
