Ryan Flores received his father Mike's kidney when he was just 16 months old, and when he was five Ryan was diagnosed with Stage IV lymphoma cancer.
Fortunately, on April 15, 1999, he went into remission. During this time the Flores family recalled the tremendous amount of support they received from their family, friends and Ryan's teachers at Roth Elementary.
In fact, when he was first diagnosed they thought they would have to transfer him to a different district to participate in a specialized education program offered at the hospital.
Fortunately for the Flores', former principal Betty Dodd and Ryan's kindergarten teacher Nancy Brooks stepped in to help. A similar program in the Klein ISD existed, but having taught Ryan's older brother, Brooks willingly volunteered to teach Ryan after school at home during his recovery.
