Hey their all...here's from a FReepmail I received from ShandonBelle, Ryan's Nana. Reprinted with her permission...I will add the link to this post on the next update, but I wanted you all to be able to read it sooner than later!

"Hi, I just wanted to let you know Ryan still needs prayers. He continues to have problems. A lot of little things that we're just picking up. Memory and word find problems. He was cut down on his medicine because we were so encouraged by his progress in pt but confused by his behavioral problems. We all thought maybe the medicine was causing the behavior. But my daughter is calling the Dr. Monday to advise him of Ryan tripping and falling frequently since being cut down. So, I guess he'll be back to full dose. Today she took him for a walk down to the post office and she said he kept walking on his toes. We know that is a sign of pains in his rt. leg. Hopefully, the medicine will fix it.

One thing I'd like to write. All of us look at a child who is misbehaving and acting fresh to his mommy...but there are children who look fine, like Ryan, but do have issues. It's not a spoiled little brat acting up with a mom that has spoiled him rotten...it's a child who has had a stroke and because of that has behavioral problems. I'd like to tell the world not to upset these mommies by giving the "evil eye" like he should be spanked.

Thanks for letting me vent. My update on Ryan is long...but bottom line is please continue to pray. He has made great strides but still needs lots and lots of prayers.

Shandonbelle (Ryan's Nana)"

Prayers for this little guy lifted up!

SB, we are so sorry that Ryan continues to show signs of ongoing problems. He has been in our constant prayers for healing, along with you and his mommy.

We will also add to our prayers for guidance for the medical providers who treat him, that they can find the answers to enable this sweet little boy to once again be whole in mind and body.

Please give Ryan a hug from me. And tell him that we love him and care deeply about him.

*TT*, Beth & Logan's Nana

Thank all of you for your on-going prayers. We certainly appreciate them. God has been very good to us to allow us to have Ryan (he truly is a blessing). And to have people sharing in prayers that don't even know each other in person, is amazing. We all have seen the power of prayer on this thread. I truly believe, prayer is the strongest medicine.

I pray for everyone on the prayer list and ask God to help them all and their families. All different stories and all needing our prayers.
