Science fair UPDATE!!!

Sadly enough i didn't make it into the state science fair =,( so many people loved it but there were just some better than mine. I just wanted to tell all of you that i didn't make it. So there aren't gana be any more updates for the science fair =I

4 Week Follow-Up

It's hard to believe that it's time for a 4-Week follow-up visit! It seems just yesterday that he was puking all over his room at the hospital after walking for the first time! :)

Shelly and Ry went back to Primary Children's Hospital to meet with his Doctor.

Lunch was had at the cafeteria, and both Rylan and Shelly RAVED about how good the pork chop lunch was.



In the waiting room, Rylan was playing with the "Bead Toy" that you find in every Doctor's Office waiting room, however he put the Rylan Twist on it by putting his play to music. Mary Had A Little Lamb was the soundtrack for the performance.


Once he finally got called into the exam room, he got do don the "Stylin' Shorts" once again.


Dr. Randall came in and gave Shelly the pathology report, it wasn't cancerous, so that's the good news.


He wants Ry to get an MRI every 6 months for the next little while. Looks like Ry's going to be just fine.

Science Fair Update

We learned on Thursday afternoon that Rylan's project was selected to be judged by an outside panel on Friday. So, we reviewed his information that evening, practiced a mock interview, and hoped for the best.

He got all dressed up and was fully ready to meet the judges.I thought he looked rather sharp in my tie!

Rylan felt really good about the interview with the judges, but won't find out if he's moving on until next week or so.

Science Fair

I think the parents should get a grade for science fair projects, it seems I spent a whole lot more time than Rylan did on getting this done.
"Do The Number Of Folds In A Paper Airplane Affect The Distance That It Will Travel?"

HYPOTHESIS:
Paper Airplanes created with a larger number of folds will have a decrease in the amount of distance they will travel.

To do this project we folded 6 planes in different ways, from 5 to 10 folds. Then went to the curch to fly them and see how far each plane would travel on an average.

Once we got the data we assembled a report on the experiment and what he had learned about planes.

Here's the report, you can click on an image to see it larger if you can't read it on your screen:

With the report all done, the last part was to put together the display board:
We placed all the planes we used on the middle of the board....

Photos and documentation went on the sides.

Tape Removal

Friday night was "Tape Removal" night. A week later, it was time for the tape over the incision to come off. The loose tape had been driving Rylan nuts!




He's gonna have a pretty gnarly scar to impress the chicks later on!

Back to school....

Today I went back to school ^_^ it wasn't the funnest day ever but it was the best school day. I had a lot of fun and saw all of my friends. The BEST part of the day was that it was SO short!!! I had quite a few people, some that I've never seen before, keep bugging me and asking whats wrong, by the end of the day it drove me NUTS!!!! School was better than i thought it would be and was really FUN!!
