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.

Back At School

He is back at school this morning. He has just been begging to go, so we let him start a few days early. His class has had perfect attendance for the past several days so we feel there are a lot fewer yucchy germs at school. All the kids were excited to see him this morning. They had made a huge banner for him welcoming him back, and we are taking a Sponge-Bob cake this afternoon to celebrate. I have to take him out during the day for his last two radiation treatments. We will miss all the wonderful people (both employees and other patients) we have met at Emory, but we will certainly not miss that drive. Please pray that Ryan won't catch anything at school and that he will stay healthy. Love, Les, Missy, Heidi, Will, and SuperRyan
