Ryan is still hanging on 5 weeks later. He is down to 2 breaths a minute but his major organs appear to be working ok (per blood test). They are considering using more phetanol patches to drop the amount of liquid morphine which may be hydrating him although it is concentrated 20:1. Who knows...
We appreciate everyone's support through this horrible time.

Hi Cerrisa,
ReplyDeleteI have been following your blog since march. I read about your family on Courtney Hollingworth's blog, who was also in a terrible accident in November 2008. I think about your family everyday and pray that you all find peace. Know that even people who do not know you pray for you and your family everyday. You are a courageous and strong family and I continue to pray for you.
There are so many people that share the sentiment above... you guys are incredible.
ReplyDeleteWords seem so inadequate during this terrible nightmare.
ReplyDeleteWe continue to pray and send you peace, love and hugs.
Jan T.
this is just horrible.........
ReplyDeleteThere are no words left, except know that lots and lots of love and prayers are constantly coming your way.

As many good thoughts as possible being directed towards your entire family.
ReplyDeleteI went to high school with Ryan, we had a couple classes together and although i wouldn't call us friends i do remember him as a very charming, handsome, friendly kid. I've been following this blog for a while and it's so terrible for something like this to happen to anyone. I have no other words left to say except that i'm sorry this has happened and it is great to have known such a person as Ryan. My thoughts and prayers are with your family.
ReplyDeleteCasting Crowns - Praise You In This Storm
ReplyDeleteI was sure by now
God You would have reached down
And wiped our tears away
Stepped in and saved the day
But once again, I say “Amen”, and it’s still raining
As the thunder rolls
I barely hear You whisper through the rain
“I’m with you”
And as Your mercy falls
I raise my hands and praise the God who gives
And takes away
Chorus:
I’ll praise You in this storm
And I will lift my hands
For You are who You are
No matter where I am
Every tear I’ve cried
You hold in Your hand
You never left my side
And though my heart is torn
I will praise You in this storm
I remember when
I stumbled in the wind
You heard my cry
You raised me up again
My strength is almost gone
How can I carry on
If I can’t find You
As the thunder rolls
I barely hear You whisper through the rain
“I’m with you”
And as Your mercy falls
I raise my hands and praise the God who gives
And takes away
Chorus:
I lift my eyes unto the hills
Where does my help come from?
My help comes from the Lord
The maker of Heaven and Earth
All we can say is your family continues to be amazing - better days are ahead.
ReplyDeleteLove,
Jim and Maryanne Morse
It's so plain to see that Ryan loves his family so much
ReplyDeleteI am just so sorry that you would have to continue to write such unbelievable words for so long. No family should endure what you all have been though. God Bless and may peace be with you guys...
ReplyDeleteAs terrible as this is, I hope everyone who reads this blog learns the lessons that Ryan is trying to teach us...like being supportive, having strength above and beyond humanly possible, hopeful, wishful, prayful, committed and loving at all times in our lives and not only in our darkest of times. Thank you for the strength it takes to print Ryan's updates. Please know you are prayed for all over this country. God Bless You
