RydersRecovery

With many, many prayers and much love, Ryder is progressing and working very, very hard in therapy to re-learn to walk, eat, use his arms and hands and to communicate. Ryder's father, Justin, who is now a single parent, and his family are continually seeking new and innovative treatment options to help him in any and every way possible in his recovery.

One of these ways is the Apex Brain Center in Ashville North Carolina under the care of Dr Trayford, an expert in traumatic brain injuries, who has documented life-changing outcomes for his patients. The treatment there would require a fifteen day stay with daily outpatient treatments. Ryder's father Justin would accompany him to NC and stay by his side throughout the treatments.

Justin is currently only able to work two to three days a week since he takes Ryder to therapy three days a week and provides the 24-hour care that three-year-old Ryder requires. Needless to say, the cost of the treatment at Apex plus the cost of travel and housing is beyond his means at this time. That being said we are starting a new Spotfund campaign for Ryder. Please see the new campaign: RydersRehab.

With faith in God, financial assistance, medical professionals, continued prayers and we can all help with Ryder’s Recovery.   Galatians 6:10 ~ "Therefore, as we have opportunity, let us do good to all people, especially to those who belong to the family of believers."

With deep appreciation,

Ryder and family

4/17/24 Update: After almost three months in the Kennedy Krieger Children's Rehab in Baltimore, Ryder was flown back to Florida on Wednesday 4/10/24 and was readmitted to Johns Hopkins All Children's Hospital. He was released to home on Friday 4/12/24. He had a very rough night and first day home but is beginning to settle in. He requires medications every two hours and round the clock care by both parents. Needless to say, this is very hard on Ryder's parents, Justin and Shana, who have remained by his side since the accident in November.

Ryder is continuing his physical, occupational and speech therapies in an outpatient setting but still has a long, hard road ahead of him. His parents also are pursuing Hyperbaric Oxygen treatments for him. These treatments are not covered by the insurance so we are continuing to try to raise funds for this. Please help if you can and if not please share Ryder's story and continue to pray for his complete recovery as well as for his parents as they provide the round the clock care he needs. We appreciate each and every person that has helped financially and prayerfully.
