My Beautiful Ryan xoxoxoxo

Our beautiful Ryan was born in 2005. He was born with a condition called Blepharophimosis Syndrome. This condition affects the eye area making them look partially closed all the time. Our gorgeous boy is a tough little bugger though and has never let this condition affect him. He get's watery eye's regularly and has never complained, he just takes it all in his stride. He has now started school and gets asked by the other kids why his eyes are different and his reply is "I've got special eyes!".

1 Month to go!

Well... the operation is in one month! And I'm nervous as hell already! It's been a hectic and event-full couple of months leading up to now so we've been able to keep pretty busy - with Jesse turning up in late Feb, Easter... and all the preparation and excitement of Rell's Run 4 Ryan. But now it's just time to sit and twiddle our thumbs and wait for it all to happen.

Rell's Run 4 Ryan was amazing, SHE DID IT!!!!!!!!! 45 km along the Great Ocean Road from Lorne to Apollo Bay. What an amazing effort. We were all so very proud of her achievement. It was a very special time for all the family and we all couldn't have been prouder than when we saw her run into Apollo Bay.

My family is amazing - every single one of you!

Will keep you all posted over the next month in the lead up to Ryan's first Op!
