Light the Night

Light the Night took place all over the country and we had people walking in Ryan's honor all over the country. Such an awesome way to show support! I am truly thankful. With Ryan beginning this new phase of treatment she needed an Echo cardiogram (ultrasound of the heart). She needed this because one of the medications she will be on could cause damage to her heart. Through talking to her doctors they say the risk is now much lower now because they have discovered giving the medication over a 45-60 min period verses giving it as a "push" (1-2 minutes) has had less of an effect on the heart. This type of information is made possible due to studies being done. Studies made possible by The Leukemia and Lymphoma Society.
