My sister, Jerrie, rode a bus in from Dallas to be there for my family and me during Ryley's first days in the hospital!!!

Thanks, sis!!! It was greatly appreciated!

The visiting hours had to be the hardest…. We were allowed to visit Ryley for an hour every 2 hours. I think it was harder on Mom and Dad than Ryley!!!

But that is debatable!
