HOME AT LAST!!

As some of you may know - Ryan was released from the hospital Saturday afternoon. After stopping to eat some real food at Salt Grass Steakhouse - he was glad to walk into his home! After taking a nap - Ryan spent the evening visiting with family and friends. He has really appreciate the support that we have received during this difficult time.

So, on to the news....Ryan was diagnosed with having a GLIOBLASTOMA - a form of brain cancer. The doctors plan to start Radiation (5 days a week for 6 weeks) as well as Chemotherapy (undetermined amount of time) within two weeks. Ryan's spirits are very high and he is ready to battle!! At this time, I feel that we will seek treatment in the Houston area.

I want everyone to know that I will update the blog each week with what is going on with Ryan and how his treatment is going!

Again, many thanks to all...we could not be more bless!!ed

Ryan and Brenna it was great seeing ya'll at Salt Grass Steak House. Long time no see. It was news to me about Ryan. I was at the fair that same night, but never seen Ya'll. I just want ya'll to know that if there is anything I can do just let me know, come mow the grass, go get groceries, anything, just give me a call. I'm praying hard for ya'll. Stay strong.
