Ryan has had his fair share of sickness over the last few months. Poor guy, it just doesn't seem fair!! He was first diagnosed with mono followed by a few other things. Today it was topped off with another "weird" diagnosis.
Salivary gland infection. Sigh.
So basically he had a cold, fever, etc. which turned into an infection since his body is still compromised from the mono. And where did the infection settle? Yes, his salivary gland. I guess because it is close to his tonsils and other glands that were affected by the mono. He looks like he has a mouthful of food stored in his cheek and gum.
Okay, so where was the humor today? Well, Ryan is a funny guy. And what makes him funny is that he doesn't even know he is funny. As we were sitting in the exam room waiting for the doctor I pulled out my phone to take a picture of him. I was thinking I could compare the swelling and see if it was getting better or worse. He looked a me with a very strange look and bluntly told me that I better not put it on Facebook. HAHA!!! My son knows me too well. :) He didn't tell me to not put it on my blog though...
So later we were listening to our answering machine messages when a strange voice came on and said it was Nancy, calling for Barbara and John. She wondered if everyone was alright and wondered if he (I'm assuming John) was feeling better. She was worried about him and wanted to call and tell him to get better soon. We all started laughing... it was obviously a wrong number. Ryan didn't laugh and wanted to know who it was, very matter of fact. I told him it was a wrong number. He said, "No it isn't! She called to see how I was and to tell me to get better!" He was sure she had called just for him. hahahahaaha.... silly kid! Thanks, Nancy, for calling to check on Ryan!
Oh well... after such a long, crazy, tiring day it's good to find the humor!!
