Started the morning off with Ryman having 4ml of formula (I’m guessing an hour) and the dialysis working at 40%. We are ending the day with her taking 10 ml of formula and completely off the dialysis. This seems like great progress. We are hoping and praying that everything goes well over night and that we can stop the ecmo tomorrow at some point. All of this could change very fast with 1 bad lab which are being run every 2 hours. She’s fighting through the meds and keeps trying to open her eyes every time she hears our voices which gives us great hope.
GREAT news just in is her 6pm labs for ammonia levels are at 29. This is great since dialysis was stopped at 3pm. Boom!
We have no doubt that family, friends, have spread the story of Ryman’s challenge and have COVERED her with prayers. I honestly don’t feel like I can stress how much we have felt God’s hand holding hers. We have been absolutely blown away with the love that people have poured out and continue. Your emails, text, phone calls, meal, and pop in visits are amazing. You are keeping our cups full in a desert.
My good friend Ashley Warren sent me this on Friday. “God made and equipped you specifically to be Ryman’s parents. She’s so blessed to have you guys already”. Please go hug and kiss your kids right now and thank God that he gave them to you.

Hey Ryman, this is a friend of your Daddy and Mommy talking. My name is Reese and I want to welcome you to the world. You’re a blessing to everyone who knows you and your existence validates our collective sense of cherished innocence. Don’t let all of this tubing and these monitors scare you baby girl, you’re going to be just fine. You’re only a few days old and this is a brand new and exciting experience for you. You’ll find that anytime you journey into a new environment that there will be a period of adjustment where you have to learn how to adapt. That’s all this is, you learning how to live and learning is something you’ll do everyday of your life from learning how to walk to learning how to potty to kindergarten to driving a car and so on. As a daddy myself, I understand how scary this experience is for your parents, yet one thing that lends me solace is that even though you are tiny and new, you are already amazingly resilient as well as tough as nails. Your little spark is a wonder to behold, it burns bright like the sun, and is a reminder of what most people call a miracle. You are a special little lady and because of that the whole world is on your side showering you with genuine affection, eagerly anticipating updates, and praying for your speedy recovery and eventual flourishing. I know it’s hard right now Ryman but you have got to be patient here. You’ll be fine. I have to tell my daughter Claudia to be patient quite a bit these days, but that’s okay since some of the other things I tell her are to never give up, to always fight for what’s right, and to mind your Mommy and Daddy! Get well soon baby Ryman. Much love, Reese Chism
Hang in there Jeremy and Brandy. Much love to you too. R.C.
Prayers from your Louisiana Girls!!!!! I am so glad you have some good news.
Sweet baby Ryman, you are a precious gift from God and he has his hand upon you and your family. You come from a long line of fighters and faith believers. I’ve known your mother since she and Sarah were born. We are all praying and believing for a healing.
This is no doubt the act of The Lord letting us witness his power of healing right before our very eyes!! My heart is over come with happiness and my eyes are over come with tears! I pray that she has come thru her valley and making her way to the top of the mountain!! I have so many ppl asking me about her n asking how u all r doing and that u all r n their prayers or their church has u all in their prayer list! I pray God continues his healing on Ryman and allows some peace n comfort to u all! So much love sent ur way!! Love y’all!!
Leslie,Zan, and Gabby

Thank God! We’ve been praying for your family and it’s such a wonderful answer to everyone’s prayers to find out this sweet baby girl is healing. She is blessed to have you as parents- you guys have started the wildest ride you’ll ever love!
You may not realize that your sweet Ryman is already her own type of “celebrity” as her name is all over facebook, being passed Christian to Christian, parent to parent, caring stranger to caring stranger. We are all praying for Ryman, Jeremy, and Brandy. Please know that you are not facing this alone. Many, many, MANY people are facing this with you.
Brandy and Jeremy, Fred and I have been praying every day. I know our Father hears everyone’s prayers. Kiss Ryman for us and we love you all!
