Brad just called with an update.

Ryan is sleeping almost all day now, but they have not made the move to the hospital yet as his vital signs remain good. His Oncologist is visiting around 4pm today to evaluate Ryan and Brad is supposed to call me back this evening.

I asked Brad if Oncologists make house calls, and Brad said they do for Ryan.

I will post later after I talked to Brad again.

Mike

I don't really know any of you (except for Blown ECS Z06), however I'll make it a point to pray with the wife for Ryan...

It's such a shame for this to be happening to a Young Man who has His whole Life ahead of him . He's been so vibrant and hid his pain times , just to be with Us .

Bad incident earlier today. Ryan felt he couldn't breathe and 911 was called. He is OK now, in the context of his current situation.

I spoke with Ryan's uncle Barry this morning. Last night Ryan was not doing very well. He's in a great deal of pain. The hospice nurse had to come by the house twice last night for Ryan. Barry said things are not looking good. Please keep Ryan in our thoughts and prayers.

It is 1:25am and I am just getting to a point that I can get an update posted. Ryan has been is severe pain in his abdomen and neck. Our hospice nurse had to make a return trip to help Ryan with his pain. Ryan is very uncomfortable at the moment and we are trying to find a position that will allow him to rest and not be in pain.

These posts are very hard because I want to keep you updated, and give enough detail for prayer requests, but not every little detail we face.

Thank you for all of your support.
-Brad
