Super Ryan: A good day

: 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.

A good day

Just can't keep a good women down. My game plan was to keep Missy in a tranquil environment and hopefully avoid coughing and nausea. That is clearly not her element. She had a very good day with many visitors.

Ryan has been waiting on a very special present from his good friend Jay and his brother Geoff. Today they came out to the house with Ryan's kill, a beautifully mounted deer. Ryan has a very special plan for the 7 point that he has shared with just a few people. I will let you know after completion. Thank you both for making Ryan's day, Jay had us all in stitches.

Thank you to all our friends that came over to help us out today. It was great medicine for Missy and Ryan. Love Les, Missy, Heidi, Will and SuperRyan
