Hello all. I'm afraid I don't really know what's going on for the most part, but I'll try to sound like I do. I'm in Boise for a few days, so Amy has asked me to post new info(she doesn't have a computer at home).

Mallory is doing great, as you can see by the pictures.

Dawson is still at Primary Childrens. He was vomiting a lot and they couldn't figure out why, but now they think they have a good idea what's going on. He has some virus that can cause multiple problems. I don't remember the name of it, CMV or something like that. Basically, he is sick, and they expect he'll be in the hospital for another 1-3 months. We've been away for 2 weeks now, and it's a little too long. We're going down Saturday to see him, and we'll decide what our plan of action is going to be. Personally, I'd like to move to Utah until this is all over, just to be there to help him in any way we can. Amy's got therapists working with him regularly, and the doctors and nurses seem to be figuring out what's wrong with him. One of the nurses took him out and played with him for 3 or 4 hours today, so we're happy he's getting a lot of love while we can't be there. I'll find out what the situation is with visitors, as I don't know if it's the kind of thing where people are okay to visit or not. Amy gets all the details, and I mostly get the 'bad' or 'good' status report.

Anyway, he seems to be doing good, just still sick. Tomorrow night I'll be home and maybe I can get Amy to unmuddy the water a little.

Until then, thanks for all your love and support,
Ryan

Moving to Utah is a possibility temporarily. Dawson might improve faster with his family closer to him. I remember when they were even newborn, how the stats would skyrocket when Amy was with them. Its amazing how much better they do when they can actually feel the presence of their parents. Those little people KNOW. Jake could maybe go to school with Clay just for that amount of time. I'm sure its really hard having part of the family so distant - expecially a little baby. And I bet its really hard for him, too. I'm sure you guys will make the right decision. Lots of love to all.
