Pray for them

Most of you know that I have followed several families in their journey with cancer. It started 5 years ago when I was tutoring and teaching Will. He is now in college and doing well. I fell in love with his family and in the process was introduced to may other families on the same road. Most of the kids I have followed are not longer in the daily battle. Some have finished treatment and are flourishing post cancer. Some, sadly have not made it.

One family, I have followed since that time really needs your prayers. Super Ryan was 5 when I first started to follow him. He went into remission, but then he relapsed. He is not doing well and spend most of his time in pain. He is now 10, but he does not get to live at all like my 10 year old nephew.

In addition to Ryan, his mom Missy also has the disease. She was originally diagnosed with breast cancer with a great survival rate. But, the cancer came back in more places and her chances are not at all good. She is currently in very poor condition.

Here is the post from his dad this morning

Since we got back home last Friday, Ryan has been doing relatively well with his IV pain medicines. He had a couple dose adjustments over the weekend. He is getting fluids during the night but still refuses to eat anything even though he and I had ventured out to the grocery store and bought a bunch of all his favorite snacks. His esophageal pain is better but he still winces and crys when he swallows because of chest and tummy pain.
Missy has gotten so much worse since Friday. She can no longer stand and is confused the majority of the time. Occasionally she is cognitive and that brings a much needed smile to me. Thank goodness my mom is still here. She has extended her return home by a couple more weeks. With both of them this ill, you can't leave either alone hardly for a minute.
Their new Doctor is coming out today with their nurse. We need to revise the plan and have a nurse here all during the day. With prayers, Les, Missy, Heidi, Will and SuperRyan

I have not met them, but heart breaks for them. Please pray for the entire family. I especially feel for the dad, daughter and other son. How do you even begin to deal with such a thing?
