Our son Ryan was diagnosed with stage 4 Neuroblastoma in 2004. In 2007, my wife Missy was diagnosed with stage 2 triple negative breast cancer. On July 8th, 2009, Missy lost her battle to this horrible disease. 2 days later, on July 10th, Ryan also lost his. Together forever, they both watch over our family now from the heavens above. Below is our families journey through Ryan's treatments, along with the joy and laughter we tried to instill into our daily lives. Those days helped us all cope with the pain and suffering that comes with cancer and it's deadly treatments. Both Missy and Ryan endured high doses of chemo, radiation and surgeries. Over 150 nights spent in the hospital and many, many more days. More transfusions than I could count. Yet both Missy and Ryan took on each day with a positive attitude and warm smile for all their friends. We miss them terribly. They will always be a shining light in our lives.

Surgery success

Whew! It has been a long few days. His dr. was very pleased with the surgery. He was able to remove all of the tumor that he could see. We spent 2 nights in ICU, but are finally in a regular room with peace and quiet.
Ryan went for a wagon ride this morning and seems to be feeling better everyday. Now, if we can just get good results from the bone biopsy, we will be on our way to transplant. Thanks for all your prayers, good thoughts, and pages. Ryan loves that.

Dear Ryan, we are so glad to hear you are feeling better, and that the surgery was a success....YEAH!!! We are continuing to pray for you everyday. Hope you are home real soon.

With love,
Matt, Scott, Christy, and Kayla
