I’m sad to report that Ryan was rushed by paramedics to the emergency room earlier this afternoon. He began developing a high fever, that topped around 106.8 degrees. His breathing became labored and shallow, with trouble holding his oxygen saturation. He was moaning in pain and just could not get comfortable. His body began to flush.
Chest x-Rays show pneumonia developed in his upper-right lung. It appears we caught it early. The likely cause is from an episode of vomiting yesterday morning. Despite my attempt to clear his airway by deep suctioning, it is almost certain he sucked some of the stomach fluid back into his lung.
He is now in the ICU resting, getting an IV of propofol to sedate him. To protect his airway and deliver oxygen, the doctors inserted a tube down his airway. He is currently on a ventilator. His length of stay will likely be 5 to 7 days, from what we know. Another Christmas in ICU…
Dr. Rodriguez continues to be incredible! He came to the hospital immediately; Ryan was still in the ER. He laid the groundwork for making sure anything and everything will be done for Ryan during his stay.
Praying for you all….ask the Lord for a healing and if you can gather a prayer chain to fill up his room and pray for him with sincere faith he will come back to you…my friends mother had a brain tumor and was near death….it was 12 years ago that I stood in her hospital room and watched 20+ people stand around and pray for her and anoint her with oil and she was healed….when they took her for surgery they did one last check and the tumor had shrunk nearly half and they continued to check her for a week and at the end of the week the tumor was gone….she is a grandma today and is alive and well and serving the Lord…it was a neat experience. I believe so much that Ryan will be healed…this story has deeply touched my heart. I will continue to keep an eye on you all and pray for you all. Lord I ask for you to heal Ryan…I ask you to give this family peace and continue to give them strength. I pray that you lay your precious hands on Ryan and return him to his old state of health and kindness and good deeds so he can continue to serve you Lord. Peace to the Diviney family Lord and blessings and provide them with the financial means to continue providing for their son…..In Jesus name I pray…Amen.
I am so sorry to hear about Ryan. I will continue to pray for him and all of your family. You are always on my mind. Keep the faith and God will answer your prayers.
I don’t know any of you. Just have been following the story. I am a WVU Alumni and a parent. I can’t imagine what you are going through. To see you son suffer. Please find some comfort that there are many people praying for your Ryan.
We will be keeping Ryan and your family in our prayers as always, but especially during his latest setback. Hang in there. Hopefully, he will be home soon.
Sue / Ken / Kari,
Thinking of you and praying constantly. You and your family are always on my heart.
Much love and continued healing for Ryan.

I pray that this is just another bump in the road, the pneumonia was treated early, and that Ryan will recover fast. It breaks my heart to see him like this! I cannot imagine how you all keep going, but I thank God, He is giving you strength. I hope it helps to know that His love surrounds you and ours does also; I just wish we could do more to help you.
