Chapter four

the best word to describe the last 24 hours would be "progress". 

Yesterday afternoon after receiving my x-rays from that morning, texas children's discovered a mediastinal mass in my chest, meaning a mass in front of my heart. at 5:02 pm My mom, dad, and I unexpectedly headed to houston due to the urgency of my case regarding the Mass. Once we reached houston, we spent some time in the Er. during this time, I was both anxious and immediately cared for. We have met countless wonderful doctors, nurses, Fellows, and residents in just one day and I am so excited to continue to meet more. After a full night of more chest x-rays and labs, I was moved into a room on the oncology floor of the hospital. my night nurse danielle gave us a tour of the floor and talked through some information with us before getting to fall asleep around 2:30 am. Those 6 hours were probably some of the hardest and most challenging hours of this journey so far.

I am happy to say that I am currently sitting in my comfy hospital bed after being started on a steroid medication called prednisone. my medical activities today have included some IV action, an echocardiogram (an ultrasound of my heart), preliminary tests for my breathing, and finally a PICC line where I will now be receiving all my medicines from. 

I want to thank everyone of you on the other side of this screen. Thank you for praying. Thank you for joining the team. thank you for your encouraging words. But most of all, thank you for surrounding me in a blanket of love that I feel everywhere I go. I feel it as I walk down the hallways of the hospital, and I feel it during the doubts and little moments of new medical experiences. Your words of kindness are making Team rye stronger.

You don't know me, but actually prayed when you were in your Mom's tummy. Held you when you were a few days old.
Your mom was my big sis in Tri Delta at Baylor. Love her dearly. You remind me a lot like her. 💜
Sister, you r a special one. Your story is already a light in dark places. Your attitude and beauty and Love for Jesus radiate through your writing. Know that your name is well known around my home. That myself and my three kidos are storming the gates of Heaven for you and your your family.
Much love,

To see your smiling face with the teal blue walls in the background is so good for the soul! Have you considered that maybe all the love you feel from back home and the warmth you feel from the hospital staff is due to everyone responding to the positive energy and spirit that you radiate? Maddie’s Aunt Maria all the way in Puerto Rico is reading and hearing about you, and you better bet she is on her knees praying for your strength and healing, along with all of Round Rock and the greater Austin area, it seems! Your spirit and resilience are far reaching—clear across the oceans. Keep up the fight, Rylie!

This is not something He wants for you, so I'm asking Him to manifest the healing that Jesus died for on the cross. God bless you mightily with His truth, His presence and His healing.

My son was diagnosed with Hodgkins 14 years ago and Praise God he is still in remission I can honestly say it was what brought me to my knees and built my relationship with the Lord. It was not something I could kiss and say go outside and play I had to Believe and Trust that God could and would Heal his body and HE DID. I Believe He is going to Heal you too Keep your Faith and rebuke satan when he tries to scare you God is more than able, you are precious and I'm looking forward to sharing in your journey.

We have never met, probably never will. I know your uncle Jon Koch from Baylor (fellow KOT). You have blessed my life tremendously by sharing your current health struggle and spiritual journey. Many years ago I walked beside a dear friend of mine as he battled cancer as a young man. I spent many nights with him at MD Anderson in Houston. What I learned during those chapters of my life was that it’s the journey that matters, not the destination. For our God knows the destination and He is a Good God in whom we can always trust. He has already won the war for you and I pray that you will know that He will always give you the strength and peace you need throughout this journey. Praise God for the work He is doing in and through you.

Prayers from NC sweet girl! Em and I both teared up at the verse you chose here.....it's very telling about your person. Just wanted you to know we're thinking of you and lifting you all up in prayer daily. You were the girl that Emily looked up to at Ashley Parker's birthday parties and the smiling face at the FCA table at Chisolm - the reason Em wanted to walk over in the first place. Get some rest.

Hi Rylie
I’m Emma Nevlud,s mom. You probably wouldn’t recognize me if we passed on the street but I’ve loved watching all of you crazy choir kids for years now and after reading your blog I just had to let you know that we are all thinking about you and praying for you and your family. Emma has spoken of you often and always in the highest regard. Your strength and faith is truly to be admired. I’ve shared your story with many of our friends and family (I see some have already commented on here. ❤️) but I just wanted you to know that if that moment or day comes when you are feeling a little less than brave and strong, you have an entire army of people that are holding you up in prayer. You’ve been added to my prayer group that is made up of family, friends and several thousand Flight Attendants I work with at UAL. so at this very moment you are being prayed for on multiple continents around the world and by people of all Faiths. Please know we are all praying for you and sending virtual ((hugs)).

May our ever-loving God continue to bless you and your family on this journey. Your faith is evident to all and while my heart was wrenched with sadness that you are on this journey, it was filled with joy as it is evident you have heart knowledge that "All things work together for good for those that love the Lord and are called according to his purposes."

Hi Rylie - You don’t know me but I remember seeing you on the homecoming court this year. You stood out — not just for your obvious beauty on the outside but because of the joy and faith you excude from within. As a mom of a daughter your age, I am angry that a young woman like you would have to face this disease. It’s just not fair. Every parent on the planet would take this for you if they could. But in reading your posts thus far I realize how strong and faithful you are. You will win this battle and your story will be one of hope and inspiration for others! Thank you for opening up to us. You have an entire community behind you - cheering you on and anxious to help in any way possible. We are praying for you and your family and look forward to celebrating your complete healing before you know it.

We don't really know eachother, and this might sound weird, but I'm a few years younger than you and have always seen you be active in the community, make people smile and be an amazing person in the truest sense. I admire your love for the world and the Lord. I just want you to know that your positive energy and the light of your soul reaches people who you've never even talked to before, like myself. You're a role model and a strong person, I am rooting for you!

Our family is praying for you, Rylie, and your family! We live in Cypress, Texas and I went to Baylor with your Mom. I pledged Tri Delta the year after her. Your story impacts us all and we are WITH you! Praying for peace (Isaiah 26:3) and strength (Psalm 138:3). I don’t know what words you need at this moment but God always knows and He always encourages us just in time. We will be lifting you up and following your posts. Hugs from Paul, Heather, Lance, and Carlee

I am on team Rylie I’m joining your blanket of love and praying for complete healing for your earthly body. You have so much to teach us, your words inspire, your spirit is contagious, and you provide comfort, when you need comfort- you are special. What a gift you are- God knows he has a treasure in you, and I feel miracles forming and I have no doubt many lives will be touched and hearts encouraged and the spirit of God spreading thru you. God is bigger than cancer. He transforms and heals and provides comfort in the darkest of times, He’s light. He’s got this keep strong, keep fighting, keep loving, and keep shining His light.

I am another of the people you don't know, but who now know of you. I am Bonnie Payton's neighbor. I will use words of anger for you. I am angry that another amazing young person has to be added to a prayer list because of this horrible disease. This does not mean I don't believe you can beat it, nor do I think God wanted you to have it. You were already exuding everything that would demonstrate His love from what I have read. You are demonstrating love, courage and strength through adversity because of who you are. You have modeled your life from a Christian background and probably amazing parents, family and friends. It does take a village to get you through something like this, including a super medical team, and now, people you don't even know lifting you up. God didn't give it to you, but He will surround you with the people and blessings that you need to go through it. You will continue to inspire us, but know it is Okay to be discouraged on occasion and you can openly express that as well, for that is the way with this disease. You should know it is Okay to show your true feelings and you will not disappoint people by sharing it, but only make us know you are just like us when we are overwhelmed and we will then be able to give you even more of ourselves to get you through it. I will follow your story with great hope and ask the Holy Spirit to surround you and all the people who love you with the peace that passes all understanding.
