We were blessed with our Ryan right from the begining. We knew when I was 18 weeks pregnate that he had a severe form of hpe. He was born and his love has never stopped, especialy for his 4 year old brother. He is now 11 months old and doing well. Ryan has no intrest in toys but will talk to anyone who will listen, all day long. He smiles and laughes non-stop. He even loves the women who draw his blood. He has his challanges though. Therapy has helped his development, Ryan can now hold his head up wonderfully! Hopefully we can master sitting. He has a horrible case of reflux and is not a good sleeper. He eats his bottles well, and loves his oatmeal. Despite everything Ryan loves us with all his heart and we love him with all of ours. There is only one word to describe Ryan Cole.. He is a JOY to have. I would not have changed him in any way.
