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.

Return of the Jedi (to Scottish Rite)

Ryan was back on his video games at Scottish Rite today. It was great to see everybody again. We had trouble with his line just like last week. Dr. Anderson said if it doesn't get better they will just go ahead and remove it. Ryan would love that, except that he will have to be stuck for all his labs. Yucch! We will be at Emory next week to get radiation started. He will only have radiation to his primary tumor site. We were relieved to hear that. He was disappointed he didn't get to go to the Valentine Dance at school, but we keep reminding him that he will be back at school before he knows it. We are looking for him a perfect pup- perfect for him, that is. Please remember Ryan and our little friends who are also fighting this horrible disease in your prayers.
