About Me

Location: Athens, Ga, United States

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.

Oh #@*&*%$!!!

We've got fever, pain, nausea, and lots of drugs. Ryan started running a fever overnight and they have started multiple antibiotics. He is having a hard time getting the Tylenol down. They tell us this is normal and to be expected, but that doesn't make it any easier. He has a morphine pump like he had after surgery. We are trying hard to get him to walk laps which is very important right now. Please pray for strength, and please pray for a little 21 month old girl, Hayley, who has leukemia. They are in need of a miracle. Love, Les and Missy
