Update

I haven't been blogging for a couple reasons. First, our computer is on the fritz it is definitely time for a new one and we are undecided as of yet which new computer to buy. So, I haven't been able to get pictures downloaded. We will want a laptop and we are currently deciding between a Mac or a Sony. If anyone has any suggestions or strong opinions on laptops please let me know.

Second, Ryan has been having major health issues this week. On Monday morning we had to take him to the ER because he was unable to speak clearly and his right arm and hand were numb. It was exceedingly scary. The first thought in all the doctors minds was that he may have had a stroke. Fortunately, all of the tests (MRIs, Cat Scans, heart ultrasounds, EKGs) showed that he was in good health and did NOT have a stroke or other serious conditions. The diagnosis was that it was caused by a severe migraine. Then this morning he had another severe migraine. This time he was vomiting and was in serious pain. Finally, after seeing our family doctor today he has gotten some appropriate medication and he is sleeping now and hopefully will feel better soon.

Once we get this computer working or buy a new one I will be back to more frequent updates with pictures!

Thanks, Stacey, I appreciate it. We'll let you know if we need anything. We think at this point we will just have to deal with the migraines as they come and were blessed that it wasn't something more serious.
