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.

Doing well

Ryan has 4 days of chemo under his belt and is doing very well. He has only been sick once a day and we can expect that to continue until Tuesday when this round ends, he'll have one day of rest then on Wednesday they will transplant his stem cells. The staff here has been great but it sure would be nice if Heidi and Will could visit him. He's not happy about having to stay here so long. We did get a couple of videophones so they can see each other on TV, cool. They like to make faces at each other!
