Ryan and Juliet

Ryan had anoher tough week.  Wednesday Ryan lost his voice.  One day I will record Ryan’s cry and post is on this blog, however, until then just image the saddest cry that just breaks your heart when you hear it and that’s Ryan’s cry.  So when he lost his voice his cry just became all the more sad and heart renching.  The poor little guy’s face would turn all red and he would open his mouth to cry, but only dry air would come out.  So I held him all day and tried the best I could to give him a cry free day.  Then after feeding Ryan and Juliet at 3pm, we all layed down for a snuggle on the couch.  It was wonderful.  Ryan started to stir around 4pm and when he opened his mouth to cry I saw that he had thrush on his tongue and the roof of his mouth.  Thrush could travel down his throat and effect his larynx.  I immediately called the doctor who said to bring him in (and of course no more monkies jumping on the bed… I just can’t help myself).  We all hopped in the car and made it there before they closed (barely) and sure enough he had thrush.  By the time I got home I was so stressed out from rushing us over there during rush hour, and rushing us back to make it in time for their 6pm dinner.  And to top it off, my cry free day for Ryan was shot as he cried the whole way there and back.  Anyway, we made it home and King Dan was there to help and made us all feel better in no time.  Ryan took his medicine and Dan and I both woke up to hear Ryan’s normal sad cry Thursday morning.  We never thought we’d be happy to hear him cry.  Soon after though Dan said “Ok, now that we know you can cry, can you stop now?”  Poor baby.
