Hi Ryan,
Just read about you on the RSA website of which I am a member. I hope you are doing okay you are truly an inspiration with all that you have been through. As I have suffered an illness for the last 25 years I know what its all about..not much fun a lot of the time,but the good days you appreciate even more. I am about to have more surgery on Tuesday and will be laid up in bed in a big cast for a while. It will keep me busy to keep an eye on how you are doing. I am sorry that I wont be able to make it to your fundraiser in May. I wish you all the best.

Hey how is it Ryan, we are doing fine Te Ara is enjoying her holidays. We went to Whakapapa lodge on Ruapehu moutain to play in the snow. On our way back home on Sunday we got caught on the Napier Taupo rd in the snow and had to be rescued by the HB and Twin Cities 4x4 club. We were lucky and made it safely back to our home 10 hours later. Anyway you look great say hi to your whanau.

Your key ring has seen many a country now. Its come all round europe with me. A real life saver it is, never have to upend my bag to find my keys. Living in North east london these days. Look after yourself and your mum!

Hi Ryan and family
My name is Jenna and I came across Ryan's site. Ryan is an amazing kid, such an inspiration. That's amazing about the thumb surgery. I had leg lengthening surgery because my leg was shorter then the other. I am also smaller then most people my age. Ryan is in my thoughts and prayers.

Kia ora whanau, HAPPY NEW YEAR.

We check your site all the time to see how progress is, you look massive.

Te Ara and Taniora are fine, we are deciding weather to put Te Ara back into Kohanga Reo this year but us as parents are finding it hard to let her go. Taniora birthday is next month and all the whanau will be here to celebrate it. Friday 6th Jan last year was when we were given the terrible news that Te Ara had AML. Gee how time flew, we will erase that year from our memory. Hope mum, dad and whanau are good, we will visit Tua sometime before winter and see how they are.

Take care Ryan and when things get back to normal you are more than welcome to visit us in Napier.

Imagine not being woken up by all the banging that goes on in the hospital! I have been in Australia on holiday and it was lovely to see some sun. But I still thought of you and Josh, and hoped that you were both doing well. It looks like maybe a little puppy might soon be on its way!

I often ask Laurel and Garry (friends of Lyall and Wendy) how you are doing and have started looking at your website to follow your progress. You might remember playing with my children, Harrison and Sarah up at Algies Bay. I'm pleased to hear you have been able to eat - some rather yummy things too I might add. Your trips home would be a nice break from the hospital - I'm sure it's great to see your room and play with your toys. Take care Ryan and have fun tomorrow for Halloween.

You were resting up which is good, when we came to see you on Saturday afternoon nurse Justine said you were snoring hahahahaha. It was good to see on Friday and we were so happy to catch you then. Mum keeps laughing when I ask her howz those pancakes?????????
We saw so many of our friends and their kids doing well, it felt like a reunion hehehehehe. Everyone here are good we will catch one day, hey Tua is doing well too we had a tear or two seeing him playing with other kids at RM House in the weekend.

Hi Shortstuff-- or should I say STAR WARS TRIVIAL PURSUIT KING. Thanks for telling the whole world you kicked my butt and reached the final stage for the first time ever. Well done. Hear you had a cracker or two and recation not too severe as yet. Maybe the hon ey suckers have helped? Know they might not taste the best, but maybe they can do some good. Sorry we did not get to see you today but will see you later in the week. Maybe we can go for a walk in the sun when it stops raining??? ask Mum.

Hi Shortstuff - seems like some real upward path now, slow but good. Fantastic that you can eat those crackers - do they taste like chocolate, steak, ham and ice-cream? We are now in Rome and this afternoon we fly to Dubai and go into the desert (this is sand, not pudding) on a camel. Then on Tuesday we board a plane for our trip home but do not arrive till Thursday -- a long flight huh? At the moment it is 10:30 am Sunday (8:30 pm your time). Do not think we can bring a drum set home. You and I have to make a plan so Mum does not know we are smuggling a drum set into the house. She will go bananas. Grandad

HI shortstuff
Looks like there is ome action in the body at last!!. Hope this continues and some REAL FOOD will be on the menu shortly. Weak muscles can be awful, and a good idea might be to use mums muscle stimulator which means you can get some muscle tone back while still in bed. We too are looking forward to some real food, while Italian food is great, we are missing our fresh veges. Yesterday we went to a special cooking clas so Nana at last knows how to cook properly and will cook you a real tast Italian meal when we get home. She even has a diploma and chef's hat!
Saturday we will be in Rome, and then we go to Dubai- Will see if we can back on puta then. Meantime askt mum to answer my email so we know where Tyler will be on Friday at about 6:30pm catchalatershortstuff Nana and Grandad

Hope that last night was good for you (We are a day behind you, so your Tuesday night is our Monday. ) Nana has thrown you a kiss so catch it and put it in your pocket.We have sent a few postcards so hope they arrive soon.We have seen new sights and new places we will tell you about.

Hello Ryan and family,
Ryan I am so sorry you have been so sick, mate! That really does sound horrible. I am glad that you are getting some pain relief and feeling a little more comfortable. Will be praying for the scopes you have and that things will be alright. It is wonderful, however, to see your counts climbing! Praise the Lord! Thinking of you.

Hi Ryan, what a bummer to be back in hospital, I bet those nurses missed you guys though. I know you make that ward shine with your happy faces!!! I heard mum say something (well I read it actually lol) that you have to have fun or its boring, I was just saying the same thing to Josh last time we were in hospital when he told me I was crazy! I said lifes too short to be boring - youve got to have fun and if your stuck in the hospital I (like your Mum) try and make it fun!!Keep smiling Ryan! We think of you all the time and look forward to coming up to Auckland one day and meeting you one day. Lots of love Paula and Joshi

Hi Ryan, I reckon you are getting better and stronger with every day now. We had 20 or 30 snowflakes fall from the sky today. There is a light coating of snow on the hilltops around Gore (close to where I live) but our farm is below that level so we still have green paddocks. However, it is so cold outside tonight I would not be surprised if we waken to see snow on our lawn in the morning!
I have been reading that you have been doing some interesting things lately, so keep on getting well and soon your doctors will be saying " off home with you "
Catch you another time Ryan. Thinking of you and your family lots

It's cold down here, and I made a snowman last week on my car. It looked funny, but the Policeman didn't think so and he gave me a telling off. I told him I was giving the snowman driving lessons. Next time I think I will put a seat belt on him!!! See ya later. SPUD

Takes a certain kind of Mum/Dad to take on that load and all of us who have been through the 'tanty fits', meds taking dramas, trips to the 'sluce room', sleepless nights........ list goes on...... certainly deserves some type of 'superhero' treat..... coff, coff, umm c'mon Dad! Hahaha nah just having you on Randal.... But well done team on getting through that ugly time, may you now be filled with nothing but good news, keep on rising COUNTS, may you be looking at heading home sometime soon!!

Hello Ryan,
hey mate, I understand about the fear with the NG tube, mate. I really do. I am 28 years old and when someone comes near me with one of them I actually panic. So, I want to encourage you about how brave you are being. You are younger than me and going through a lot. You have been so brave! know that I will be praying for you as they put the NG tube down again and that Jesus will take away your fear and be with you through the procedure.
Love you heaps,

As the days get closer to transplant day I am thinking of you more and more. I think you are amazing, those NG tubes arent much fun are they? And a hickman in on the same day wow - You are sooooooo brave. Josh gets so hungry when he has surgery and is nil by mouth I have to wait in recovery with salt n vinegar chips every time now. Everyone knows we do that now - not sure if many hospitals would let you do that. Anyway give my love to your mum, dad, kirsty and tyler and of course a whole lot for you too. xoxoxoxo

I've been thinking about you lots and praying for you too, that your transplant will go really well, and you will be home from hospital real soon. Is there anything you would especially like while you are in hospital that I could send you? Tell Mum and she can let me know. Loads of love and hugs...Heather xxxxxooooo

Hi Ryan, Janine and family.
How are you today? Josh is at school but going to have tomorrow off. He needs to have some more blood tests. So what is your favourite game on the x-box? Josh has just asked us to buy Sim City?? Or something. We are going to design a city and put heaps of fun things in it. Shaem we cant visit it! He also has sponge bob, moto cross, ampd and hunting ones, fishing, and starwars. He has to race his dad all the time in Motor Cross cos his dad used to do that when he was young. Oh well, hope you have a great day. Keep warm - no snow here today but very cold. Love Paula xo

Hey Ryan
How are you today? MMMM so mums made some pumpkin soup for tea sounds so yummy. If I didnt live so far away I would pop over for a cup! We just got back last night from Christchurch and it was good. I think the highlight for Josh is that I have told his teacher he doesnt need homework at the moment.They say just going to school is a lot for him to handle. So anyway we did have fun ten pin bowling and going to the Antarctic Centre. Boy was it cold in the snow storm. Minus 25 degrees! Glad it doesnt get that cold here. Hope you have a great night and enjoy your soup. Love to you and mum and your brother and sister. xxHope mum feels heaps better tomorrow too. xo

It's me again. Just sending you love and best wishes for this week. We are going to Christchurch for Josh, he has to have chemo and 2 days of tests cos his brain had a bleed and caused some damage last year. So I wont be able to catch up from mum how things are going with you for a few days. But we will be thinking of you so often. Have a good week. Sounds like fun looking for crabs and fishing for sprats. Just the kind of fun Josh and Cass would enjoy too. Take care love from Paula and Josh. Lots a love to Mum xoxo

I am sorry that you are going through such a rough time, and that you are looking at having another transplant. I will be praying that this one takes and that there won't be all the complications with this one. John had a reaction with his platelets once, not as bad as it sounds like Ryan did, but he had to have benedryle and that sent him over the edge and they had to give hydrocortizone shot, and he finally settled down and didn't have to have the breathing treatments. He was really itchy though. I know how scary it is though and I feel bad for you. It is so hard to be brave for our kids, and watch them go through stuff like that. Really nerve racking. I will keep you in my prayers, and will be checking back with you.

Hello Janine,
I can imagine that you do have a lot of questions. I am sorry there has been no change in Ryan's marrow. Know that I am praying for you. I pray that you get your questions answered and that things go well with your next treatment plan. This would be hard.

Sorry also to hear that Ryan had an anaphylactic reaction to the platelets! That would have been very scary. I am glad that he is better now and that it got sorted out.

Bless you guys and I will keep checking up on you!
Good on Ya Ryan...keep your chin up mate!

I like Hi 5 but not 500 times a week

Ryan for a kid who has a sickness you don't show it, espeacially when you kick my butt in playstation.
Did I tell you I only played with one arm and I'm blind in one eye and the other has 50/50 vistion hahahahahaha, I'll be waiting for that rematch B*R*I*N*G I*T O*N

Shar and Taniora are good, he keeps on drinking heaps and falls asleep, reminds me of myself hahaha
We are gonna be randomised when Te Ara count's are up so we may have a 5th treatment or they might send us home.
We are on a case study, we want to help other parents (I wish no more children come in with these diseases) and try improve treatment for our kids, other parents has helped us to get where we are now "Tau Ke"

Hey!
Sounds like fun! Hope you enjoyed being with the firemen and it sure is exciting to have your own shirt with your name on it.
I pray that your appointment with the doctor brings good news on Monday. Although this must be very hard to look at doing another transplant and waiting for more results and engraftment again. I know this cannot be helped. I will be praying that whatever happens...it goes well and when you know where you are at...you will have new perspective on things. It sure helps when you fully know what is going on. Bless you guys heaps. I will check on you guys again very soon! Have a good weekend! With God nothing is impossible!

Hi Ryan, have had alook at the new photos. They are great. My favourite photo is the one where you are eating all the icecream!! I also like the ones with Yoda in them. It was really good to talk to you on the phone the other day. I told Ms Haslam about it today at school. Tomorrow at school we are having a market day. Mum and I made some fudge to take to sell. We are going to use the money for our end of year trip to the museum. Hayley's Mum has made some toffee apples. Rushlee is making some fudge as well. Dad took Cullen and I to the speedway at Western Springs on Saturday night. And there were a lot of crashes. It was really cool and one exhaust pipe came off a car. I think there were three wheels came off. Hopefully the doctors will let you have some visitors soon and I can come and see you. On the weekend we played t-ball against the Little All Stars team. We had a draw. I got caught out once and I got home twice.
Talk to you on the phone soon.

Hi Ryan!!

My name is Karly and I had a transplant too (when I was 7). It was kinda yucky but you'll feel better soon. My transplant was 2 1/2 years ago and I'm doing great! I don't have to take any medicines and I feel really good. I sure hope you feel just as good as me real soon. That's so cool that your brother is your donor. My donor was a Marine and he's cool. Its funny when your hair grows back. Mine came in darker and really curly! But its back to the normal golden brown color now (but still kinda curly).

You are sure cute! I hope we can meet someday when you are all better. BYE!

Hi Ryan,
Only a few more sleeps to go, and then you will be on a plane for your Fiji holiday. I know you, Kirsty and Tyler with your Mum and Dad will have lovely swims and outings.Hugs and Kisses from Gramma. Tessa and Muffin would send you a hug too, if they had hands instead of paws. PeeWee and Peanut send a hug with their paws though.
