Hooray, Ryan
What a day this has been!!!...Ryan was released from the hospital about 12:00 noon today...they ran all kinds of tests and figured out that he didn't have any reaction to the preemie immunization shots he was given...they said that he had lots of congestion in his chest...they gave Beth and Steve a prescription for albuterol which had to be inhaled by Ryan through a nebulizer ( a machine which asthmatics use to help in breathing). When Ryan got home he was tired and very lethargic...he didn't want to eat and had all kinds of trouble sleeping...the girls must have sensed something because they had a tough time eating, were all out of sorts and the crying semed at times to be a racous symphony, although somewhat off key for the most part. Nap time seems to have changed things. Steve used the nebulizer on Ryan around 3:00 PM and he almost instantly changed...he napped and drank apple flavored pedialite and had some formula. He just now had another treatment (Steve is saying "you're OK, Bud ) and everything is quiet for the moment.
Pizza and artichokes were the fare for the day (I had four artichokes - they were small) and believe me we all enjoyed the food in spite of the fact that Straw Hat Pizza forgot to put any tomato sauce on the vegeterian pizza.
Things are starting to quiet down now...Steve's talking about the shooting of the Judge, a court reporter and a deputy in Atlanta...what a shame!!!, and in my opinion this guy should be hung as soon as they catch him.
So, we're starting to wind down now. We're just finishing the dinner bottle of chardonnay (it went down smoothly). Hopefully the triplets will be back in the swing of things shortly and everything will be back to normal. The quiet is almost deafening, no,...peaceful, knowing that everyone is ok. It's almost bed time and the kids are sleeping through the night now...hopefully they will tonight,too.
Somehow we're now talking about Beth and Steve's wedding and the funny things that happened (Like Dadmerk's very short tuxedo pants - I had the waist down to my crouch!) but that's something for another time.
We'll be leaving shortly to get home...an 85 mile drive...we're happy and grateful that everyone is in the best of health (for the most part) and that we're able to be of some small amount of help to our kids...sure wish I could bottle this particular point in time...that way, someday in the future, I could uncork the bottle and vividly relive the experiences of yesterday and today...something that only dims in the memories of tomorrow.
Take care, have fun...
