Ryder loves playing hockey and the Edmonton Oilers, but his journey began with a fight for his life. At just 10 days old, Ryder was rushed to the Stollery Children’s Hospital, where he had emergency surgery to remove a second stomach that was disrupting normal body functions.
Needing to heal, Ryder was placed in a medically induced coma for a week, followed by several weeks in the NICU. Thanks to generous donors, Ryder’s team had access to advanced pediatric ultrasound technology, which played a crucial role in diagnosing and managing his condition, leading to his full recovery.
