Super Ryan

As you can see, Ryan never stops clowning around. He finished day three of chemo today-two more to go. His counts on Monday were a little low for starting, but we needed to move ahead. No decisions have been made as of yet, on his next course of treatment. We are still waiting on some information from Dr. Marcus, his radiation oncologist at Emory. Ryan has been a great source of comfort for me this week. He is so much like his daddy- just incredibly kind and thoughtful. I told him this morning what a wimp I am and how proud I am of how he has handled so much and been so strong. He told me that no matter what it takes we will get through it. So, I will try not to be such a wimp! My side effects individually are not that bad, it's just when you put them all together, it stinks. I finished my oral chemo Monday night, and was really hoping to be feeling a lot better by now. Hopefully, I will get in a few good days before I go back on Monday to start over again. It is a busy weekend ahead for us. The kids have their usual games on Saturday. Friday night is Homecoming at Apalachee, so we will all be there for that. Heidi is going to the dance on Saturday. I will post a picture. I know she will look beautiful. We are excited about JSP Day on Sunday at the Pecks. It is their annual event to remember their son Jackson's birthday. He would have been 7 this Tuesday. This year they are holding a fund-raiser for pediatric cancer. Who knows? Maybe this will fund the research that will cure Ryan! We all want that more than anything. Please continue to pray that we will find the right treatment for him, and that he will be strong and just as playful as ever. Thank yall so much for your prayers for us. Love, Les, Missy, Heidi, Will, and SuperRyan
