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.

Finally Checked In

We arrived at Egleston at 7:30 this morning, they whisked us through and had us in our room (359) by 7:50. After unloading suitcases, TV, refrigerator, games, Christmas decor and so on, we ordered breakfast, were visited by a myriad of staff, then started chemo at 10:30. There's no fooling around here, a tight schedule. Ryan's first drug cocktail requires a bath every 6 hours, (middle of the night baths are going to be tough!).
