Super Ryan

We are approaching Ryan's potential fever days. Please pray he will get through the next three days without any fever. He just hates having to go in to the hospital for that, even though he seems to have a good time when he's there. After we get the antibiotics, his fevers have typically gone down and stayed down, and he simply gets to hang out for 48 hrs. For that, we have been so thankful. It sure beats going down and fighting fever for days.
We had an awesome time at JSP Day. The kids had fun on the lake, the waterslide, the moon-walk, etc, etc. Smith and Julie just out did themselves. We stayed late for the fire-works. Thanks, John and Smith for a great show. We are so thankful that they raised money for pediatric cancer research. Thanks to everyone who bought raffle tickets or made donations. I am not sure I have ever met someone who has taken such a personal tragedy and used it for so much good. Smith and Julie's strength shined on Sunday afternoon and is evident everytime I talk to them.
I got through my treatment on Monday. Dr. O'Regan is pleased with my progress. She gave me some meds to help manage some of my side effects. Hopefully, this week will go better than the last few. As always, thank ya'll so much for taking the time to check on us. Thank you for your prayers for all of us. We will be meeting with the bone marrow transplant team next week and Dr. George to make some plans for Ryan. Please pray that we make the right decisions that will lead to a complete cure for him so we can enjoy watching him grow up doing all the normal boy-things. We want for nothing more in this life than that. Love, Les, Missy, Heidi, Will, and SuperRyan
