My Petsitter and her son need your thoughts and prayers

Thank you!

There has been no change. I am going to the hospital this evening. One of the nurses did allow Amanda to hold Ryan the other night for about 40 minutes for the first time since the accident. She really needed that. I am praying really hard that Ryan will wake up for Christmas.

I know that did her heart good, getting to hold him! I hope you return with some additional good news for us! And do let her know she and her baby are still on our minds and in our prayers!!
 
Still praying!!!

Has she slept?? I know that is the last thing on her mind but I hope she is taking care of herself too..
 
We are all hoping for a Christmas miracle here!! I hope he will show some improvement soon. My heart goes out to Amanda.
 
We visited with Amanda and Ryan Wednesday night and it was so very sad. I tried to be strong for Amanda but bout broke completely down a couple of times. I am a whimp when it comes to things like this. I cry for weeks when I loose a Cham and sometimes still cry over them. I even cry when people on CF loose theirs. Well anyway right before we got there the doctor came in to talk with Amanda. The last MRI had showed some damage to another section of the brain, I can't remember which section she said, she was so upset. Anyway the doctor told her Ryan is going to be in a coma forever. She doesn't believe it and still has faith and believes that miracles do happen. He can breath on his own but they still have him on the machine. They are talking about doing a trach and a feeding tube in his stomach and sending him home. Ryan looked good. It was just so sad to see him laying there like that. The nerve of that doctor. He could have at least waited until after Christmas to tell her that. I'm with Amanda and still praying for a miracle. He just looked so good. I believe he will wake up.
 
Oh wow - I am sure this has to be so very hard for her, they say people in a coma can hear , and I am sure he can feel the love around him - still sending prayers and also hope for a Christmas miracle
 
There's a reason why they are called miracles, and I'm hoping for one too! Nothing but positive thoughts being sent their way!!! Keep the faith and hope for our prayers to be answered.
 
Sad news and my heart just breaks for that child and his family, but I do believe in miracles and believe in the power of prayer, if we all ask for a prayer for Ryan from everyone we know, that would be powerful and a miracle can happen...also my prayers for you Jann, I know this is hard for you...bless you!
 
This is sooooo sad Jann,,,, my heart aches for all, Ryan, Amanda, family and friends!!!!!
Lets all wish for a Christmas miracle for Ryan!!!!!!!
 
OMG. My prayers goes out to them. I hope he pulls through!
This past summer i had a pool scare with my then 2 year old, she just gulped some water but i was pretty shook up. I can only imagine what Amanda is goign through!!

I hope there is a happy ending!

Oh Jann, I'm really sorry to hear that. It looks grim then, poor family. It's just a shame, we don't know how long he was in the water. I'm still thinking about poor little Ryan.

It seems we're very much alike in this respect--a tremendous amount of empathy and love.

Still praying that Ryan will heal in ways that baffle the doctors and for his family to stay strong through all of this.
 
Ryan is the same. He has surgery on the 26th for the trach and g tube in his stomach. Thank you all for the thought, prayers and kind words here. We are all still praying for a Christmas miracle.
 
Jann,

Please tell Amanda that every day I pray for Ryan. My eyes teared up reading the last update. I believe he can make it.. Please let him be a miracle.

To Ryan,

I dont know you little man, but I believe in you and I am praying for you. You have all of us behind you hoping for a good recovery. Be strong little man!
