A friend like no other..
We ask for your prayers for our dear friend, Ryan Coe. He is in ICU with a fever, low blood pressure, on a ventilator, fighting for his life with pneumonia along with his other illnesses of PTLD and GVD. Ryan is such a fighter but Dr.’s are not sure his body can make it any longer.
Bennett sent Ryan this message and it brings such happiness that we met Ryan and his family and much sadness that he is very sick..
To Ryan,
If I could go back in time, when you were doing good and I was feeling like crap. I would go back in time so we could enjoy those moments together again. I would do this all over again if I could, to help you get better..
Every time I go to bed, I think people really don’t know what life could be like and they take too many things for granted.
I know you are a fighter. You have made it through a lot more, than some people thought. You will probably will hear this 100 times in the next few days and people will say, Keep your head up…. but I mean it.
I have been there just like you when odds are up and against you. There will be a sunny day for you soon, when you got a big ole deer in your hand. You have worked for it all your life especially while making it through this.
I mean this, keep your head up buddy.
Love Bennett

I am praying for your friend, Bennett. I am glad he has your support and love. Love ya
Cindy, as I do each morning I was checking Bennetts site, I am so glad to be reading good news each day. Today, however breaks my heart. I cannot imagine…. Bennett has been through so much, he has matured into such a wonderful young man. His kind heart is a beautiful thing. I will be praying for Ryan. Bennett stated there are so many things out there that we take for granted, so true. I have many caringbridge families that I follow, the commom denominator is that these children are healthy one day and the next day a diagnosis changes their life and the life of their family forever.
I pray that Bennett continues in good health and that you are able to continue posting good news.
It is truly an amazing feat that these children who have suffered so, can come away with such a caring heart. Bennett has been on a long journey and is becoming a remarkable young man. These children ( Bennett, Brittani, Tyler, his friend Ryan, Sara Beth and others) are truly the “angels amongst us”.
