Debi came down with an ear infection. Toren likely had one at the same time, but we didn’t realize it right away. Eventually they were both on antibiotics and each of them tried multiple antibiotics before they found anything that seemed to work.

Debi was carrying Toren around in the bjorn while she was working around the house. Toren loves this, but apparently it was too much for him this day – he crashed, in the bjorn, on the camera:]]> http://www.ryananddebi.com/2010/03/21/falling-asleep-on-the-job/feed/ 0 http://www.ryananddebi.com/2009/08/09/survey-fail/ http://www.ryananddebi.com/2009/08/09/survey-fail/#comments Sun, 09 Aug 2009 13:00:39 +0000 ryan http://www.ryananddebi.com/?p=3274 I received this fun little piece of mail the other day: If you click on it you’ll see that it says, “Dear Toren Cragun; WE VALUE YOUR OPINION.” It then proceeds to ask him to fill out a survey evaluating his recent doctor’s visit.
