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.

Latenight

Ryan came in at 1 am not feeling well again. His fever was 103.5. A little motrin, some juice and a soft spoken question as he lays beside me, "why does this bad stuff always happen to me" :( We just want him to be better...healthy. His 40 pound frame has just never received enough time between bumps in the road to make him feel like he's completely beaten this thing. Hopefully it's something small that Dr. Anderson can take care of Thursday. He really wants to go to school in the morning, we'll see.
Goodnight and God bless.
