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.

Nausea--taken care of!

Well, you can take the nausea prayer off your list. Ryan won't be getting his chemo at camp this week. I'm sure he is happy about that. They checked his counts this morning and his platelet count is only around 35k, and needs to be about double that for chemo. It has been very quiet around here today. I took the opportunity to go through all the papers on my desk-stacks and stacks of insurance papers, checking acct. statements, all those things you are smart to stay on top of! Thanks for your many prayers and thanks for checking in! Love, Les, Missy, Heidi, Will, and SuperRyan
