Hello Friends & Family of the Guthrie's -

Over the past weekend, Sam and Ryan took little baby Milo to the emergency room due to him not feeling well the past few weeks. What originally started out as little concern, quickly turned into heartbreaking information for the family. A large mass was discovered by Milo's brain and there was a lot of fluid build up, which the mass was blocking from being drained. Milo, at not even three months old, had surgery on September 20 to put in a tube to drain the fluid. An MRI was completed the same night and Milo is scheduled for another surgery either Wednesday 9/24 or Thursday 9/25. The size of the mass has caused concern, but the family won't have answers or know next steps will be until surgery occurs. Sam, Ryan, and Milo are expected to be in the hospital for a minimum of a few weeks, or likely longer.

As many of you know, Sam and Ryan also have their 2 year old son, August who is a bright light on a grey day. But, the family has a long road ahead of them and will be spending the foreseeable future in the hospital. They need their friends and family to rally together to support them in any way they can. The Guthrie's do some much for others and now is the time to give them as much love as possible during a time no person could ever imagine going through.

Please remember that Sam & Ryan have a lot going on at the moment and while they would love to hear from you, give them grace in responding. Remember you can always follow here, or on the CaringBridge site for updates.

Thank you!
