Update
Ryan has been recovering at home for the past few weeks. All was going well until last weekend when he got really sick. We thought it was a really bad flu. Turns out he had Addisonion Crisis (aka, Adrenal Crisis). After tapering off the steroids too fast, his adrenal glands pretty much shut down wreaking all sorts of havoc on him. He is back on a steroid and making a slow taper. He is feeling much better. He spends most of his time in his makeshift office...the couch. Is working from home. He hopes to be back to work sometime this week but he still gets pretty fatigued, so we will see.
A week after I brought Ryan home from the hospital, our little Luke had to have a little surgery of his own. After earache, after earache, after earache it was obvious this kid was going to need tubes. His appointment was at 7:15 am, so he was already kind of out of it when we got to the hospital, but the minute we took him to the back room and put that gown on him, he knew something very unpleasant was about to take place. It was so cute and so sad to see him in that little hospital gown. It made me grateful that aside from extremely large adenoids and bad drainage issues, our little guy is relatively healthy.
Well, the dishwasher was finally fixed. I actually tried to fix it myself as I didn't want to pay some guy to show up and tell me that I had a kink in my hose and that's why the water wouldn't drain. I actually got the water to drain out a couple of times, but every time I would start it up again, the same issue would happen so Ryan called a repair man. $145 later, we learned we had a kink in our hose and a lime in the disposal. The kink just happened to be in the part of the hose that was concealed by the cupboard so you couldn't get to it. Arrrghhh. Oh, well, Max got to put his tools to good use once again.

What a month you've had! We've been thinking about you a ton and are so glad everything went okay with Ryan, and Luke too! You all deserve a "get-a-way" and we think a trip to Idaho is just what you need. BTW-Ryan probably needs a "stress-free" environment so you are more than welcome to stay here when you come. We have a queen bed in Ashtyn's room, an extra toddler bed, and a crib that are already set up. We are pretty much planning on ya unless of course you want to brave Mom's with everyone else. Whatever you want, we'd be glad to oblige. I think petting and snuggling a certain black cat (who came home!!!) would do wonders for Ryan's recovery!
That picture of Luke is just adorable!! I'm glad Ryan is on the mend. It sounds like you have been wonder women lately!! Way to take care of the fam Calli. We really need to get together. Also, did you know I'm pregnant?
