Update

6/27/2023

Cancer update: A donor has been found, and Ryan has completed the testing process at Moffitt for complete clearance for transplant. This testing will result over the next week to finalize plans for admission. As of now date of admission is approximately July 19th. 

 

Admission is going to be 30-45 days at Moffitt, followed by 60-70 day stay at a nearby hotel since we live outside travel limits. 

 

People have been asking how they can help. Everyone knows hosiptal food is not the best and there are some additional expenses that we will occur when we finally return home. We are down to one income, so anything helps. As an example, we need extra bedding and towels due to having to wash them every other day, etc. So we have put together a registry at walmart with some of those things, gift cards to nearby places to bring food to eat along with some easy snacks Ryan will be allowed to enjoy during his stay. Also, we have included our careline funds account (similar to a gofundme but specifically for stem cell/bone marrow transplant pashients). This account will be able to help with household bills and expenses, hotel expenses for the 60-day stay near moffitt, and other qualified expenses related to Ryan stem cell transplant. 

 

We appreciate all the prayers, kind words, and support that you have given during this journey. Please keep them coming as we fight this next round. If sending something thru a registry isn’t quite your thing and you prefer to send something in the mail, please send it to 2211 lawton Dr. Clearwater, FL 33764. Thank you.
