Two years ago we welcomed our baby into the world. Rylie Suzanna Hays was 7 lbs 3 oz and 21 inches long.
See how she's grown!
Happy birthday, Ry!
Rylie means valiant and protected. We thank God for keeping Rylie safe and for making her so brave.
"For I know the plans that I have for you," declares the Lord, "plans for welfare and not for calamity to give you a future and a hope."
Jeremiah 29:11

Hi Jade, and Happy Birthday, Rylie!! It's Sarah here - I illustrated Shawn Sheep. Renee gave me the link to your blog and I was just amazed to see how much you've been through since we last were in contact - I had no idea. Rylie looks like an amazing little person. I can't think of much I can do that's useful, but if you'd like I'd love to paint you guys a portrait of Rylie for her birthday. Let me know... Hope you still have my email address. Keep well, all of you. We'll be thinking of you over here in Australia!
Dear Rylie,
We share in the joy of your 2nd birthday and look forward to seeing the special plans God has for you. We loved seeing your beautiful birthday pics. Keep up the good work!!
Love and God Bless,

Happy Birthday Rylies!! All the cool people must be born in September. Your's, Wyatt's, and Nicole's, and I'm sure there are many others too. Wyatt had a big Backyardigans bash. You would have loved the three foot tall balloons. We hope you had a great birthday. Wyatt said being two is great you get what every you want, and if you don't you just stomp you feet and scream till you do. We are praying for you and your mom an dad. Keep those numbers looking good.
Your Friends,
Todd, Nicole and Wyatt

Wow, Rylie! Look at what a big girl you've become! You are doing so well accomplishing new miracles every day. May your 3rd year be the best yet. Lots of Love!
P.S. Check out all those "teef" too.
Blessings to you Rylie on your birthday. We are praying for your continued progress.
Hope to see you soon.

Hey Rylie! I don't have an email address for you, but I have a question for your mom and dad. Ask them if they'd mind sharing thoughts with a newly diagnosed Hurler family. Their little girl is about the same age as Rylie at diagnosis.
As you know, Uncle Mack has very strong opinions on facility selection, and the importance of remembering "practice makes perfect." For example, if I'm a top 25 professional racquetball player and I enter Wimbledon Tennis Tournament, I had a lower probability of winning than a top 25 tennis professional. Same is true for doctors and nurses. You've gotta be persistent in your pursuit of the best professionals. You guys did that. Others need to learn from you.
This family has Cigna, and UMN and Duke are both absent from their Transplant centers list. First, it would be great to re-affirm that it was worth the wait to get the go-ahead from your insurance co rather than choosing a less experienced facility. Second, if you could share what might help turn the dial with the insurance co to speed the decision process, I know they'd be grateful. They have a blog at http://unofficially-nameless.blogspot.com/
Thanks and I hope you guys are all doing well!
Happy Birthday, Rylie:
We love you and your folks a whole heckuva lot.
Jake Jules Ben
we want an update! we need a Rylie fix!
And check out Isabella's blog that Uncle Mack posted, if you can. They could really use your encouragement.
Oh and email me at skellyrealtor@gmail with your Nov checkup schedule. I want to make sure we get to spend a little time with you guys.
Sorry this is such a bossy comment.
