Super Ryan

TGIF!! It has been a long week, and I probably owe apologies to more than one person that has crossed my path this week. I have been more than frustrated by the number of children who are suffering from Cancer and the lack of funding, awareness, and essentially better treatments and a cure!!! Then with Catie's passing, I was just so angry. And then our little friend, Nathan, in Colorado received bad news of his cancer progressing, too. Our friend we went through treatment with, Caroline, got questionable scan results, and has been having some possible symptoms of relapse. All of that, combined with the constant dread of relapse that any family who has had a child with cancer lives with made for a really bad week. Fortunately, the week ended on much happier notes. Our friend, Patrick, whose family had traveled all the way to Philadelphia to prepare for MIBG treatment, got the awesome news of a clear MIBG and won't have to go through that terribly intense treatment. I literally sat at my desk at work and cried. I needed that almost as much as they did. Almost. Caroline got a beautiful, clear bone scan report, and today- the best news. Catie's mommy gave birth to a BEAUTIFUL, HEALTHY baby girl!! Please continue to pray for them, for Ryan, and for all his friends. Please do what you can to raise awareness, to raise money, to bring these chilren their hope and their cure. Love, Les, Missy, Heidi, Will, and SuperRyan PS: Ryan is doing great! I signed him up for soccer today!
