Thankful
I was really looking forward to Thanksgiving this year mainly because the doctor's said that I could leave the hospital for a few hours. But then they took me for a walk while measuring my oxygen saturation in my blood and decided it was way too sporadic to let me leave without an oxygen tank, and then we found out that it's against policy to check out an O2 tank for a few hours... So much for that idea. Wish I could have been there Brian and Teressa and the rest of the crew! As if that wasn't bad enough they gave me a new pill to replace the Furosimide which knocked me flat on my back for the rest of the day, so I didn't even get to hang out with my family. I really hope tomorrow goes better.

Happy Thanksgiving! Sorry you have to spend it there and under such circumstances. I wish this wasn't happening to one of the coolest people on the planet. I miss hanging out with you. And I still wanna meet Kendra, who, by the way, in addition to being fabulous by all accounts, is freakin gorgeous (thanks for putting a pic of her up on this site!).
To Ryan and Others,
My song for today is: Beams of Heaven.
Beams of heaven, as I go through this wilderness below,guide my feet in peaceful ways, turn my midnights into days.
When in the darkness I would grope, faith always sees a star of hope, and soon from all life's grief and danger I shall be free some day.
Oftentimes my dky is clear, joy abounds without a tear; though a day's so bright begun, clouds may hide tomorrow's sun.
There'll be a day that's always bright, a day that never yields to night, and in its light the streets of glory I shall behold some day.
burdens now may crush me down, disappointments all around, troubles speak in mournful sigh, sorrow through a tear-stained eye.
there is a world where pleasure reigns, no mourning soul shall roam its plains, and to that land of peace and glory I want to go some day.
I do not know how long 'twill be, nor what the future holds for me, but this I know: if Jesus leads me, I shall get home some day.
"dky" should be sky

Sucky! If you ever want to break outta the Hospital, you let me know an I will use my covert Koga ninja skills to get you out. I might have to sever some heads and limbs on the way, but none will be yours. Love you,
Jules
you know you should have called man. I would have made a few phone calls and made something happen.
See you soon,

Hi Ryan,
I'm going to come visit tomorrow if they'll let me in, hoping that you are still at UWMC in the same room.
Do you have a CD player? I picked up a few discs in Thailand that you may be interested in. I'll bring them over with a player for your listening pleasure and regale you with stories of my trip.
Kind regards,
--Lee
Hi Ryan,
I’m Rick’s mom, Kathy, and the only time I’ve met you was when we came to Colorado for Renee and Rick’s wedding. This lack of really knowing you does not diminish in any way how terribly sad Bill and I were when we learned of your cancer. Our thoughts and prayers have been with you and your family daily since Renee’s birthday when she told us that you were seriously ill.
We are thankful that you have a dedicated girlfriend at your side who started this blog to keep everyone up to date on how you are doing and allow us a means to communicate with the both of you.
Your name has been added to the prayer list in our adult ministry class of 100+ persons at church. One of the women now praying for you is also a cancer patient undergoing chemotherapy for a very invasive form of breast cancer, inflammatory breast cancer. Much like you, Diane is surrounded by loving, caring family and friends. On Thanksgiving she wrote the following: “When I was first diagnosed with cancer I cried buckets of tears, the sadness was unbearable, but now the tears are tears of joy and gratitude to all of you. I don't know what the future holds for me but I do know who holds my future, and that gives me comfort. Nothing touches me that has not passed through the hands of my heavenly Father. Nothing. Whatever occurs, God has sovereignly surveyed and approved" (better word would be permitted). "We may not know why, but we do know that our pain is no accident to Him who guides our life."
We’re praying that you will continue to find strength and comfort from our Lord Jesus Christ through whom we can have everlasting life free from all earthly suffering.
