Ryan's journey is one of courage and kindness. His story, as told by his Mom, is shared to help kids of all ages understand that while being sick, stinks, sometimes, it's not so bad. There are days that are fun and others that are not so fun. There are days with lots of sunshine, play time, and storytelling! And other days that are filled with tests, tests, and more tests. There are things to look forward to like favorite foods, pets, family members, birthdays, holidays, etc. And things to avoid! There are new friends to be made, new foods to try, and new games to play. So see, sometimes being sick isn't so bad.
