I was just thinking of Ryan, thank you for sharing this

Pray Ryan has a good weekend 

Sunday Morning

Asia Ann’s update from last night- thankful for forward progress and good visitors! Keep praying!
“Another good day. His white count went up a little but nothing too concerning. He will prob need more red blood tomorrow or monday. It is low. His left lung is better but still not fully open. They are doing breathing treatments and lung excercises to better that. His kidneys counts are low still. They are giving him magnesium cause that is low. He has issues with eating but he is drinking enough to surpass. He did eat chicken noodle soup tonight which is great. Oxygen is off during the day but on at night.
He was so happy that Mike Benton was able to come visit with him this weekend.He said "it ment so much to him." Thankful for the brothers wanting to come visit him.
His pain was better today. Yet still in a lot of pain when sitting up. They will do a fat transfer when they do a tissue expander. That's one of the plastic surgeries thang that they will do down the road! Which will help with no pelvic or hip or ass. We need a hemipelvectomy. Will be talking to guy to get an outsider idea too.

Thank you all who are praying and continue to pray. Please keep praying. Power of prayer works!! Thank you Lord!!””

Many continued prayers,I just can't imagine this struggle :(

Thank you for continuing  these updates,there isn't a day go by I don't think about Ryan and his family.

Thank you for continuing to update.  Still thinking about Ryan on a daily basis and hoping for good news always.  

Sending more prayers his way

Gail or Dave is there a address for him that we could send a card too?

Update from Tuesday 9/24 from Asia

Wanted to clear any waves that are going around regarding news channels. Wanted to thank MY FRIENDS for looking out for US!! Love you all thank you!!
The fox new, 59th medical wing, military times, and medical outlets all have been given the right to share this footage through the military. They went through the process and got the footage the way they needed to. They never mentioned name or unit durning the footage. The other news channel that shared a photo back 3/4 weeks did not have the right to share any photo.

Update yesterday my hubby had a pretty good day. All of his care was spread out throughout the day. Vistors were great!!! He sat in chair too yesterday for 2 hours. Did a ton of PT for his left arm. Greg and I had him shave his face while sitting in chair that helped him kill time. He did great with his left hand. Now we just need to get s barber up there to cut hair :) his potassium was a little high in am. By the night it was down, which means his kidneys are working better yay. His left lung still isn't completely clear but better then before. His pain yesterday was pretty high but they controlled it medicine. He wishes he didnt have to take it. I hope soon it will be under control so he doesnt have to take that ****. Please continue to pray for his lungs to heal completely, his kidneys to continue to get back to normal.

This morning he was in pain again. They will be giving him another nerve block in OR today. They will also try and burn nerves if they can find the right one. This am he did have a panic attack so they had to give him some medication. He didnt know why but he said there was just a lot going on in his brain. This am they will be taking him in the OR. Please pray that goes smoothly. Also that his skin heals on his back. Thats painful for him.

Also while you're praying please pray for our Knox man. He is sick with an ear infection and fever that he has been fighting for the last couple days. Thankful for uncle Nick taking him to doctor and taking care of him while sick. We love you.

Friday 9/27 update.

Overall he had a pretty good day. The wound vac change at his bed side went really good. Will do that again on Tuesday. His red count is still low, but they held off on giving blood today to see if his body can do it himself. His white count has gone down more which is awesome! His lungs look better and sound good. He only has to do breathing treatments when he needs them and or wants them. His kidneys still seem to be working great!! The urine testing for 12/24 hours shows great progress with kidneys.
Today he got his prosthetic fitted on his left leg to stand up in and to push around in his bed. It hurt but so awesome that we are so far ahead of schedule. Next week they will start his right arm prosthetic process. He is kicking ass and busting his butt. He is a miracle and this is amazing to watch.
Thank you all for the prayers and love.
Keep them coming. We love you all.

Wow is all I can say right now  , this is such a strong young man and so proud to have him on our side..

LOVE THIS UPDATE!!!!! Thank you Lord,for answered prayers!!!  I'm so happy to see his kidneys are working!!! Hallelujah

Great news!

Continued prayers. . . . .
