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.

Our Super Patient update

We will be staying here until Friday. Her pain has subsided for now and we just completed one lap around the nurse's station, slow and steady. We got her freshened up, out of the hospital gown and into her own PJ's. No lipstick yet, likely tomorrow. As soon as her head hits the bed she's out like a light. Ryan can't hardly wait till we get back home as we can hardly wait to get back there to see all three of them. So far so good, Les, Missy, Heidi, Will and SuperRyan
