Updates

Ryan has been doing okay. He is feeling pain now and then but mostly just a lot of discomfort and weird sensations that he cannot really describe. We have has an assortment of different nurses visit us in the home. The first being the private nurses that we told we would not need anymore. I did his dressing Then we saw Ryan's Occupational Therapist and she did his dressing that day. We decided that i could do his dressings over the weekend, but by Sunday STEP (short term emergency program) was able to send a nurse. We liked her and she seemed to know what she was doing. She also listened to us and made sure Ryan was at ease. STEP then sent another nurse today who also seemed to be good. She was a little rough and wrapped things a little tight. By 9 pm Ryan had me re-wrap everything a little looser. We would be able to work with this nurse though just by asking her to wrap looser next time. The problem, we have now been switched over from STEP to actual home care. So, starting Friday we have to explain to yet another nurse how to wrap up his poor fingers. This has been a bit frustrating, but certainly not the end of the world.

Ryan goes back to Winnipeg tomorrow to have his stitches removed. Plastics will also look at his skin graft and make sure it is healing properly. I really hope having his stitched removed is not as painful for him as when they put them in.

Other news: Everett is still working on some teeth, he is cranky as stink. Driving me beserk. I love the little bugger, but he can really push button. and temper....holy moly man.

Rawley has been really good lately. He spends most of his days outside on his bike, even when he goes to the trailer with Grandma & Grandpa he finds friends there and rides his bike. He has a never nice tan.

It is hot and muggy here and then the second it is nice enough to go outside the bugs are out. We do try to get out for a few hours in the evening with Everett. I got him a little second hand pool and he has his water table he got for his birthday out in the yard and that keeps him pretty happy. Here are some pictures to prove it.
