Welcome

Thank you for visiting to check in on Ryan's progress towards recovery. Ryan has always been there for everyone he knows and right now we all hope we can live up to his example by being there for him and his family while he heals. He is strong and we all know that if anyone can come through this it is him.

While Ryan's injuries are serious and frightening, the best thing for us to do is all stay on the same page with accurate information but also all stay positive and look forward to the good news to come. The aim of this site is to reflect the incremental changes in his condition. Also, this should provide a space to express your love and concern for Ryan and his family.

Visit last Sunday

Here is a picture of Ryan from our visit on Sunday. He was in good spirits and was looking forward to football that afternoon. We stayed outside for most of the visit to enjoy the unusually cool weather that Louisiana is experiencing now. The sombreros were mostly to keep the sun out of our eyes since Ryan’s Boston ball-caps didn’t make the trip to Slidell.

We shared many good laughs during the visit. Besides the rehab, I think the daily interaction he has with other patients is helping him to communicate better. As we roam the halls with Ryan, he says hey to friends that we pass. He also talks more clearly with us during visits. It is still difficult for him to string together full thoughts, but he has made noticeable improvements in communicating since leaving Touro.

If you have time to visit him at the new facility, definitely make the trip. We’re planning a trip up to watch a Saints game soon, so let me know if you’re interested in joining.
