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.

Settling in, in Slidell

A handful of friends visited Ryan today at his new place in Slidell to drop off some parkway and watch the Simpsons. Ryan was happy to see some new faces (friends of his who were just back in town visiting) and, even though he had just eaten dinner, was obviously excited about his Reuben(favorite sandwich at parkway) and the prospect of eating it later. After a long day of rehab and visitors, Ryan was also very tired so we cut our visit short to let him sleep.

The nursing staff at the new location are working hard to help Ryan along and, apart from the occasional hay-maker he throws their way, are very happy he is there and they are able to work with him to help him get better.

All of his stuff that he has collected made it safely from his old room at Touro and it looks great. Keep sending more cards and other signs of encouragement!

Ryan is excited to watch the Saints shred some cheese tomorrow night!
