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.

2 tubes and a port

His little chest seems full. I am glad it will only be for a few days. Just until we get enough stem cells for a rescue should Ryan ever need another one, better safe than sorry.
His surgery went well this morning, no complications. Kellie came by and hung out for a while. Ryan tortured her after completely taping her to the recliner. He was in fine form as usual at the hospital. It's always "my way or the highway". His sharp eye did pick out a larger than normal port needle. He asked if it was the smallest and the nurse said "yes". I asked if it was 5/8th's and she said "no, it's 3/4's." You can't get anything past him! It was a sad feeling this morning. Ryan and I were in the waiting room here at Egleston and we called Missy in her waiting room at Emory. We could see each other across the street while we talked :( It will sure be nice when Missy gets through her treatment. I think she will update again tonight with her latest. I know we don't talk about her progress very much and she gets asked a lot to post more info. We had a lot of fun Sunday afternoon. I took Will and Ryan to a paint ball course in which they proceeded to shoot the ^%$^ out of me, ouch. They loved it and now want all their own gear. I could have guessed that. We are so glad everything went smooth today. Thanks for sending all the good thoughts and prayers. Love Les, Missy, Heidi, Will and SuperRyan
