Ryan and his mom, Theresa, last week on our clinic "party day", but Ryan had just had a reaction to platelets and was being rocked by mama...
Last night the Williams Family lost their precocious, funny, litle Ryan. Ryan was quite a character, and his personality was about two times as big as he was. He was quite a little ladies man. Last week when he was spending a lot of time with Elle at the clinic, he coaxed her into letting him kiss her on the cheek. He then pronounced that she was his number two girl friend. He reserved the no. 1 spot for thier family friend, Montoria, a teenager.
The halls and family room have been filled up here with their friends and family. Several staff and TCH families were able to come and see him yesterday as well. Ryan was a very loved and cherised little boy. Ryan was diagnosed at the same age as Hans, yet one year before Hans. We have always looked up him as a little hero. Of course, our hearts are broken for his family, but I pray that somehow they will be able to find the grace to go on as a new little family, but one that is just as special and loving as when Ryan was with them.

With love, Lara, Kevin, Elle and Hans
ps.. Hans is doing "well/okay" now, but his ANC continues to drop...down to 60 today. So, we aren't going anywhere until it climbs back up for a day or two!

Oh, such sad news. I send love and hugs your way for Ryan's family and you. What an honor to be NO. 2 girlfriend in Ryan's life, Elle...I am not surprised as you are a gem!
Glad you are kicking that bug right out of your life Hans! Keep up the great work!
Love,
Aunt Susy
So sorry to hear about your buddy Ryan! He sure sounds like a wonderful kid and I know will be missed greatly by many ...I am happy to hear Hans is doing better and look forward to hearing that you all are home and having fun in the sun.

Hugs and prayers for all in your extended NB family.

I remember the first time I saw Ryan, he was racing down the corridor at TCH as Batman. He made an instant first impression as a little boy with a lot of spunk and heart, and he knew exactly how he was going to live his life. And he did it to the fullest! I think tonight he is running around heaven in a shiny new Batman suit with wings!
Love and prayers for all our NB kids and their families,
G'ma Stephanie
