WOW!!!!! I am crying…of course, I do have a tendency toward that anyway 🙂 but wow! MOM
Wow! What a HUGE difference! I am so happy to hear that things are going well. Still keeping him in my prayers.
LOVE the video! So sweet!
That is amazing! What a precious little Ryan you have.
WOW!!! What a difference!
What a big difference! Praying that recovery is smooth and as quick as can be for all of you. The video is just amazing. Kids are so adaptable even when they have organs in “new” places 🙂
AMAZING!!!! I am crying happy tears. It just melts my heart to see your little boy. Praying hard for Ryan and his family from New Prague, Minnesota.
Absolutely amazing. He is a beautiful and strong little boy!
He looks great!!!! Praying for you guys!!
I have tears in my eyes — especially after watching that video. it’s almost like he’s going along with the music. You’ve got one amazing little boy.
You were right, he looks amazing!! Yay! God is great!

It astounds me that his tiny body can withstand all of this.. He looks spent, but looks great. So happy to hear he is alright.

That is amazing. What a mighty God we serve. He has kept Ryan cradled in his Arms and protected him with His hands!
Not sure there are words to express how wonderful he looks! The video was truly amazing! Our prayer are with you..
Holy Cow!!! That is a HUGE difference. You must be so relieved that he is doing well. I’ll remember your family in my prayers.
This is so amazing, I have been following your miracle all through and have prayed and shed tears with you through it all. What a testimony you have been for me and I know for so many others. I can’t wait to meet this miracle of yours one day. What a blessing it’s been to watch Baby Ryan fight for his life with one amazing will.
Wow, I am amazed. What a precious little guy!! Such an amazing video. Prayers are still continuing for a smooth recovery!!
How awesome! He looks great! We’re praying he recovers quickly.
oh my he looks so good…and that video made my heart melt, he is so cute!
Beyond amazing.
What a tough little man.
He looks amazing! It’s so good to see his chest looking more proportional without the expanders. I <3 the video.
Ryan looks absolutely AMAZING!!!!!
The video of him with his heart is quite beautiful and peaceful. What an amazing testament he is.
He has come so far in his short life and has endured more than any baby should ever have to. He is such handsome little man :0)
And you……Let’s not forget about you…..Your strength is breath taking……and you are just absolutely amazing!!
I pray that he continues to do well!!!
That is too cute! Do you think he will miss it now? It’s like his woobie…his lovey you know? I am just so glad that he is doing so good. What an amazing difference! I’ll continue praying for his quick and whole recovery.
Oh my goodness! He looks wonderful!! I’m so glad to hear that the surgery went so incredibly well. We’re still praying for sweet Ryan!
He looks awesome! I’m glad both procedures went so well! He looks like he is “playing his heart” with the music! Does he miss it now that it’s inside?
We are praying for you all!!
Precious, beautiful boy.
Wow, he looks SO GOOD! Praise God! What a miracle little Ryan is! Continuing to pray for awesome outcomes!
Like a message I heard recently: Our God does “beyond beyond” all that we can ask or think & we thank HIM! Ephesians 3:20
Amazing! God is so GREAT!! Praying for all of you!
Wow! He looks great!
Wow! Just the lack of skin expanders gives the boy a better look. L.O.V.E. the video of him “loving his heart”. That was precious. Must of been kind of neat to feel something beating in his hand.
God has been so good. I am thanking and praising him for all He has done. Will continue to pray for recovery and protection.
Wow! He looks incredible! You are all in our prayers!
Someone linked your story to an article on cnn.com about a boy in India with a similar (but seemingly less complicated) story as Ryan. I’m glad I clicked on it. Ryan is truly amazing. I wish your family all the best and will keep you in my prayers..
Just wait until he gets older. His hand will move down south, lol. He looks great, so glad to hear is doing so well!!

How great he looks. Still praying for the family and Ryan. Amanda Luhn
MAN – that’s amazing! Our God is an awesome God. Rest for all this weekend, prayers for everyone – including mom and dad.
Amazing!! Continued prayers for the little warrior! I loved the video:)
Wow, Amazing…Praise God! he’s beautiful. The video is so sweet.
Wow! Just wow he looks like a totally different baby. Congratulations and I wish him a quick recovery!
That is so precious to seem him just petting and stroking his tender heart. We should all be so loving and gentle on our own hearts.
Oh Praise God! I am so glad that everything is going well for Ryan. He is a precious baby and lots of prayers have gone up for him.
Rejoicing with you!

He looks fantastic! Must feel much better, too, I hadn’t quite realised how big the spacers were, he’s all deflated now. 🙂
/friendly lurker, over and out.
Praise the Lord! Ryan is looking awesome! Very amazing! Cute video! Will continue to pray for Ryan’s recovery. 🙂
Wow, what an amazing and strong boy! I can’t imagine all you have been through. My thoughts and prayers are with you all. Wishing Ryan a speedy recovery!
that’s amazing. thanks for sharing such an intimate moment of your son’s life with us. one of the biggest lessons i’ll ever get out of reading about ryan’s experience is that in the future, people can say that he truly is beautiful on the inside and outside. we’ve all been able to see his heart…literally. he’s the bravest boy i’ve ever known. how blessed he is to have a mother like you and a family like yours, and how blessed are you to have been entrusted to such a special gift from God. it makes me just want to keep on praising Him. <3
SO SWEET!!!! Keeping him in my prayers! Lori Musacchio
praying for peace, rest and encouragement for you tonight…what a HUGE couple weeks you’ve had!!!
Goosebumps, I love your little family and you give me faith to tackle little things. YOU ARE A-MAZ-ING and Ryan is truly an inspiration! Your sense of humor and willingness to carry on keeps me reading and praying.
