Nutrition Mission Change

OK, so this is a little change to my blog. So for now i'm changing this blog to a website for a school project. We are making a PSA campaign about school lunches. So if you want to support it would be nice if you to viewed and shared. So we want school lunches not only to be better quality but also healthier. So don't expect me to post on here very often. Hope you enjoy this change!

BABY BUNNYS!!!

We just found BABY BUNNIES!!! We had 5 or 4 bunnies living in our chive plant. The mom was just roaming around the chive plant. Today the bunnies got out of the chive plant. We found 2 of them by our house. One of the bunnies back legs are paralyzed so we are taking the bunny to the vet. (No picture for this post because I don't want to take a picture of the bunny)  

Happy Mothers Day!!

Happy mothers day everyone!!! Don't forget to wish your mom a happy day!!

Box

I have a box. What should I do with it?

SWAG HAT

The title explains it all.

Picture Bottle

I've been really into drawing lately so I had an idea. I have a giant empty coke bottle in my room and a binder full of drawings. So what I did was I cut out most of the pictures and taped them onto the bottle. This is what it looks like so far.

 It will take a while but its a start

Bella

Yesterday I saw a post in here that was of me taking a picture of Bella and I decided to do an update on her so here it is. Bella is doing fine she limps on her leg sometimes after she sprints after bunny's but other than that she is fine. Bella is 7 years old. She loves going on walks and doing anything active.
Yeah, that pretty much sums up Bella!

TAKE OVER

I am now taking over this blog from my dad. After all it is called Riley's Blog so it seems right that riley should run it right?

Hi everyone

That was weird.

I just logged onto Riley's blog for the first time in years. Quick update: he is alive and well! He is in 6th grade, taking French, playing trombone, and just being a regular boy.

As I logged on here just now, I saw 3 posts from someone that wasn't me. Evidently there were different links on each post. I didn't click on any and I hope you didn't either. I've deleted those posts and this post is definitely legit!

My plan for these blogs was to have them for reminiscing, but also to hand to Riley (or Haley) as they got older, if they wanted them, to write stuff. Riley is quite into computers now and maybe he'll want to post something or edit the blog or something.

Anyway, that's it. Maybe we'll post more in the future, or maybe we won't, but for the few that check here, he's doing great. The chiari is pretty much a thing of the past. He got a green light from Dr. E a year or so ago and we haven't looked back. Just a normal boy now, and life is good.

Good news for Rye!

It's a small step, but a step nevertheless.

Ever since Rye was diagnosed with his condition, he's been restricted from drinking regular liquids (water, milk, etc) as they are too thin and travel down his throat too fast. The result of that is that the liquid will aspirate (re: get stuck in his throat) and lead to sickness, infections, etc. We end up making drinks for him that are mainly water, Propel power (lemon flavor) and a bunch of thickeners called Simply Thick. The resulting beverage is the thickness of honey.

To you and me, it's kind of gross. To him, it's pretty much all he's known for the past two years or so. It is kind of a drag when we forget to bring his drink along when we're out, or when he sees Haley have a hot chocolate and he can't join in, but otherwise, he handles it pretty well.

Yesterday he had a swallow study done at Children's Hospital. They fire up the ol' x-ray and take pictures as he eats. Depending on what they see, they diagnose one way or another. The last time they did it, he had made no progress and was still required to drink the honey thick liquids. We were bummed, as the surgery was supposed to help with his swallowing. Dr. E told us to be patient and we'd see progress soon enough.

After the x-ray yesterday, it turns out that Rye did make progress and they were able to move him up to nectar thick liquids! We are super excited for that as it is a step in the right direction. Marci said Rye asked if that meant he could have regular ice cream (his ice cream is special as when regular ice cream melts, it is too thin) and she told him not yet. That kind of bums me out as any 5 year old should be able to eat ice cream, right?

Anyway, we're happy with the progress and hope that he continues along this path.
