food just makes it better
A few weeks ago Riley all of the sudden stopped talking. He became very quiet and he had this kind of glazed look all the time. We finally called Abby, Dr. Swaboda's nurse, and they ordered some lab work for him. They said that depending on the lab results she may want to get an MRI of his brain. In between waiting for the lab work results my mom suggested we try giving him a little more food. Maybe he's just hungry? So on Saturday we started giving him a little more calories and he seems to have perked right up. He's more interactive and talkative again. Yesterday they called with the lab results and they said that nothing too significant except his ammonia level was elevated and they don't know why so they would like to get an MRI. I told her about the food and how he seems to have perked up. So we are going to wait on the MRI and see how he does with a few more calories. I hope the food just fixes him. Doesn't food fix everything?

Food is our best friend! I'm glad that you asked Abby. That sure would be nice if he starts to really talk again! It's it kind of frustrating though to go get labs and then nothing really comes of it?
Is there a chance he is teething? Brynlee gets like that when she is teething. It comes and goes and as soon as a new tooth pops through she is fine. How many teeth does Riley have? As soon as Brynlee starts talking again she uses more words to.
