Anyways, if you're interested you can go check out The Ryan Family

Road to recovery

On July 8th at 10:05 PT Sara took her first free breath with her new lungs! Since then she has moved from the bed to a chair, changed rooms and has had some of her "decorations" (a term for all the different tubes, lines, wires, sensors, monitors, dressings and the like that "decorate" a person coming out of surgery) removed. The doctors are calling her a "Superstar" but that is an understatement! She is so strong and determined, a true inspiration to many of us. Although, she is still in a lot of pain she continues to work hard and make daily improvements. Amongst our excitement and joy we are sadded for the donors family and wish them comfort during this difficult time. What a selfless gift to give, life.

Thomas laughing

Here's a video of Thomas listening to his own voice and his dad barking like a dog. He was having a blast!

4th of July weekend

It was a big weekend for Mr. T. He got his first haircut! As you can see, he's not too happy about it either. He actually did pretty well once he got used to the lady cutting his hair.




















This was also 4th of July weekend and there is a parade every year just down the street from where Liz grew up. So Thomas got to be in the same parade has his mother did growing up. Here's a picture of Thomas all decked out and ready to strut his stuff in the parade.
