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.

Can't stay away

Ryan and I are back in the ER again. His tummy pain has not subsided since beginning a week ago. I got home from work and discovered a 102.5 fever, up to 102.9 once we checked in. We have a lot of contrast to drink before his midnight CT Scan. Missy and Ryan were in the clinic on Wednesday also for the same tummy pain and ended up getting blood and platelets. We are praying for an answer to his discomfort and hopefully a quick fix. For now, Les, Missy, Heidi, Will and SuperRyan
