A quick update 5/16/26:
Good morning 🌞 Ryder followers. We are HOME! We were discharged around 1am. Ryder has no fever & headache is gone 🙌 praise God! They did blood cultures, a viral panel and antibiotics. They are really hopeful the fever came from his platelet transfusion. The antibiotic will cover him for 24 hrs while they wait to see if anything comes up on the blood cultures and viral panel. If Ryder can remain fever free until 9:30pm tonight we are in the clear to stay home. If fever comes back, we will need to go back. Until then, we are happy to be home & hopefully get to enjoy some warm weather today. 🧡🧡 🤞Pray we get no fever back and he feels better today.

Just checking in to give a little update:
Ryder and the rest of our family have had an extremely busy week this week. We have been at the oncology clinic 3 times, Mon- chemo Wed-blood & platelets and Fri- platelets, our family had to be very strong last night (Thursday) when we made the hardest decision to say goodbye to our dog that we have been so blessed to have for 14 years. It just seems like every single day was filled with something. Most nights Ryder and I head to bed around 8pm because he and I are both wiped out by then.
Today, Ryder received platelets because his counts were low, he's been complaining all week of just feeling crummy due to having bone pain. When we were leaving the hospital he was in some pain in his legs, back and had a headache. He decided to lay down on our way home and get some rest. We got home and immediately I knew he wasn't feeling good, I checked his temperature and it was an automatic call to the docs at 101.1. I knew he was going to be so upset getting into the car and coming right back to the hospital because it was after hours and the ER would have to be the ones to access his Port. After how traumatic it was for him last time the ER tried accessing him, I knew I was going to have to really convince him to come in. I decided to give him a few minutes to play his Xbox while I packed up our bags. After being in the car a total of 4.5 hours today, we are back here, getting checked out and crossing our fingers and praying for no infection, and the fever is just from receiving platelets. 🤞🙏
A typical oncology ER visit with fever is an automatic 3 days stay, but they are really hopeful that it's just from the platelets and we won't be here all weekend.
Our family has so much coming up, we are going to be busy busy bees in the next few weeks! Our Community Roll-A-Thon Fundraiser is coming up and I know some amazing people that have been working so hard to get things all in order, making sure we have enough volunteers, the vendors are all registered, along with those that are registering their cars into the car show. We are so excited for this event and really really hoping Ryder will be able to make it. We hope to see so many faces come out and enjoy the day while helping support Ryder and his journey to kick leukemia butt!! 🧡 Not only do we have our fundraiser but that week includes Memorial Day, Our son Jason's 15th birthday, Ryders next bone marrow biopsy, along with TWO high school graduations for our daughter Alyssa. Shew we cannot catch a break. We are crossing our finger 🤞 and praying 🙏 for a better June. In June Ryder will start an immunotherapy regimen that will be a continuous 28 days infusion. He will wear a bag, like a crossbody with a pump in it that will infuse immunotherapy continuously for 28 days. I really hope since he won't be on as much chemo in June that his counts won't be crazy low and need as many blood transfusions, or have so many yucky days. Until then, please continue to pray for Ryder 🙏 and our family. 🧡🧡

We are baaaack at Ronald McDonald House. It makes our 4th week staying here. Oh and what a difference in his looks from the first time being here. He's lost all that weight he put on from the steroids and even weighs less now than what he did when he was diagnosed. He's barley eating these past few weeks, but theyve told me this is typical in Consolidation, and it will normally pick back up next month, in the next phase.
Ryder was discharged from the hospital last week, and we spent the rest of the week at RMH. Ryders body finally gave into all the chemo last week and he slept, and slept, and slept. Wed, Thurs & Fri he would ask me if he could go to bed at 4pm-5pm each night. He would fall asleep, wake up to take his chemo pill, and crash again until the morning. His moods have been low the past two weeks or so, which I could only imagine being 10 years old and everything you have ever been allowed to do, you can't do anymore. You can't ride your dirt bike, can't go to friends houses because who knows what germs any friends have, can't play in the stream in your own back yard, can't rough house with your siblings, can't have sleep overs etc. You get the picture, all his favorite things have been stripped from him.
This past weekend, I wanted to do something fun instead of him just sitting at the hotel all weekend being bored and depressed, so Jason and the big kids came up and visited with us, and we visited the Baltimore Zoo. It was so nice to have Dad and siblings here with him, and show them around our home away from home. They were excited to play air hockey and pool all together.
Hopefully it will be a great week, please pray for Ryder, that his nausea will stay calm and he will be able to eat, take his meds and even have some more energy.
