Building up Reinforcements for Ryan

  • The journey still continues........

      18 February 2026

    Praise God, Ryan is back home in Rotorua with his family.

    There is still a long way to go with recovery.

    Kelly is off work helping Ryan rebuild strength and confidence. He is having infusions in hospital for 2 days, every 4 weeks. He has gone on a strict medically guided Keto diet which is expensive, time consuming and hard going for Ryan.

    Night times are long with focal seizures and the family is not getting much sleep.

    Ryan is awaiting a further trip to Brisbane hospital for surgical brain testing.

    The family are grateful for funds for all these ongoing costs and treatment follow up. They are especially grateful Ryan is alive, as hard as it is supporting him with his debilitating epilepsy disorder.

    Every prayer and dollar helps the family support Ryan. Thank you for continuing to follow the journey.

  • Extremely hard times......

      24 January 2026

    Ryan was put back into a coma for the third time at 2am friday morning due to the inability to stop seizures. He remains this way while Dr's wait to see if the immunotherapy can take effect.

    These last few weeks have been very hard on Ryans parents and siblings who are traveling back and forth to Rotorua. Due to this Kelly and Trevor are not able to work. Kelly will have to give up her role as a nurse to care for Ryan now and throughout his recovery.

    Your donations are helping keep the family afloat. All messages of support are being read by the family and continue to bring comfort.

    Please share this page wherever you can.

  • From Kelly

      22 January 2026

    Ryan is still in ICU Waikato. He has been here 2 weeks now. Seizures still when falling asleep which is hard to see. Drs are doing all they can to help him. Thank you for donations and kind words. Ryan can't get a job or drive a car or go out much so it all helps with his care and to give ryan more opportunities. The messages of support are being read and are comforting.

    Thank you all.

  • Possible diagnosis....

      18 January 2026

    Hi Support Crew.

    It appears Ryan may have a rare autoimmune epilepsy. Drugs make it worse and thats what Ryan has experienced. Its been 5 years of much pain and anguish as hes continued to suffer. Autoimmune epilepsy is not cure able but any funds Ryan is given can help make his life better.

    Thank you kindly for your prayers, thoughts and generosity.
