About Me
- Name: Ryan
- Location: Athens, Ga, United States
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.

Merry Christmas To All of You!
Our house is full of excitement today. The kids are all ready for Santa and hoping he thinks they have been good. For the most part, they have been good, very good. Les and I have already gotten the best present we could have hoped for with Ryan's test results. Our only other desire would be a cure for Ryan and all our friends. Ryan's giving tree will donate over $5300 (s0 far) to help make that a reality. Thank you to:Sarah And Walt Bailey

We also want to thank everyone who has been so kind and sent cards, gifts, food, and well wishes to the house. I hope that I either sent a thank-you note or an e-mail or made a phone call. Please forgive me if I overlooked anyone. You can imagine how crazy things have been around here lately. Except for the fatigue, I feel pretty well. Ryan shows no sign of fatigue-he is going 90 mph. He starts his VP-16 today. Please say a prayer that he won't feel any side effects (especially for the next couple of days).
We hope that ya'll have a Merry, Merry Christmas filled with much joy and peace. Enjoy the time with your family and friends. Cherish every minute! We are off to lunch at Outback (Thank you Haymon-Morris Middle School!) and a movie. Love, Les, Missy, Heidi, Will, and SuperRyan
I hope you all all having a wonderful break! Happy New Year, and see you soon!
