Update

I know, I know...I promised a post with pictures, but haven't gotten around to doing that yet. I may be a slacker for the rest of our stay here in Sweet Home Alabama, but I promise to back to my blogging self once we return to Texas.

Anyway, I'm doing this post to update all of you on Ryan. As you all know, he's currently deployed to hell on Earth Iraq. We've been able to communicate VERY regularly as the internet in his room isn't horrible (notice I didn't say it was great). I spoke to him on Monday and he said he wasn't feeling very well. He'd had an upset tummy all day and was going to rest. I didn't talk to him at all yesterday, but assumed that the internet was down. I got an email this morning from my wonderful friend Alina (who is deployed with him) that said he was under the weather. She and another friend forced him to go to the clinic this morning as he couldn't even talk and was white as a sheet. He's been very sick...vomiting, etc for 48 hours. They gave him 4 bags of IV fluid as he was very dehydrated and gave him some phenergan for the vomiting and immodium for the "etc". =) He hasn't eaten since Monday and is trying very hard to stay hydrated and we're all hoping he's on the mend.

Basically I shared all of this to ask for your thoughts and prayers for a speedy recovery. If you know Ryan well you know that he's NEVER sick. I just wish he was here so I could baby him. =) We sent him two care packages last week full of food and he hasn't been able to eat it yet...let's hope he can dig into it soon! Thanks!
