May 25th - Day 108 200/200

Ryan,

Ally did it, she has conquered your troops. We got the call this morning! You have 200/200 doner cells (Ally's cells) You have 2 amazing sisters. Ally who has given you this gift and Kayla who has been there by your side through it all. She has supported you and visited you in the hospital and they both love you so much.

We are taking this news and running with it. Today, tomorrow and everyday that we have with knowing you have 200/200 cells. We are over the moon!

Ryan it has been a long road and unfortunately it is not over by any means. I am not being negative, but realistic. It has been a bumpy roller coater for the last 6 months and I am worried if I get to happy I will get let down again. I want to believe that this was just a bump in our life, a shift in our plan that has now been put to rest and we can continue with nothing but good news and a great outcome to an awful disease..

Ryan you have come so far and we are all so proud of you.

Sibling fight for siblings and all three of you have shown great strengh in dealing with this awful disease at such young age. Ryan you and Ally don't really understand what is going on, only that you are sick and Ally is making you better, but Kayla gets it. She understand how serious this is and what is at risk and she has been so brave and strong. You could not ask for two better sisters.

I also want to thank you and your sister's for giving Daddy and I the strengh to get through this every day for the past 6 months. Although I don't know what the future holds, the one thing I do know is we have a great family and a great support system, so whatever the future hold we will deal with as a family and knowing we have so much support means the world to us.

So ryan, I want to thank everyone who has supported us through this and continues to do so, your family in Montreal ( your gramma and Grandad) our family in Ireland ( Nana, your Aunts and Uncles and cousins and there families), your Auntie Nicole and Uncle Shayne.
All of our neighbours, our dear and close friends, you all know who you are.
messages, phone calls just to say hello and see how we are. Shoulders to cry on, (that we have done alot of.) Blood clinics in your honor, family running marathons in your honor, fundraising in your honor. The list goes on and I can only tell everyone that it has helped in any way that they are amazing people who deserve the very best.

We are going to celebrate this tonight! I am not really sure how as we are limited in what we can do, but we will celebrate that I know for sure.

Love you

Mommy

  2. Hello Hylands! Can't get you on the phone, guess you must be .....celebrating! So relieved to hear Ryan's news, Ally your an angel and a tough little cookie! The next goal is the central line , it would be so great to have that gone and all the anguish that it causes Ryan having it dressed every week. Ryan you are amazing ( and funny and smart and so cute) Sue and Dave, hope that this is time to exhale and just enjoy the moment. Have fun and maybe a nice treat.

    Auntie Ann was so happy when I told her how much better you were since we last saw you in December. So full of energy and eating and drinking, all great signs for you Ryan.

    Love you guys

    A sigh of relief. Ally is a little angel. Kayla a strong and brave sister. Ryan you are truly a strong and amazing little boy. Keep it up.
    You all deserve a vacation. A little time to escape the bumps in the road and go enjoy yourselves.
