Ryan is an 8 year old little boy that is in need of a kidney donor that is "O". 

     This will be Ryans 3rd transplant.  He received a kidney from his father in 2004.  He then received a piece of a liver from his aunt this past May. 

     During the liver transplant he had many complications and lost his fathers kidney at that time.  So far the liver is stable and Ryan is on hemo dialysis at Buffalo Children's Hospital.  He will be transplanting in Pittsburgh. 

     He was born with Autosomal Recessive Polycysistic kidney disease with fibrosis of the liver. 

     He is a great little man and very brave. 

     Ryan loves John Deere tractors and he does live on a farm.
