1. Meet Rylan
My wish is to:
Meet Mickey Mouse!
Age:
6
Condition:
Rasmussen’s Encephalitis and
Intractable Seizures
Hometown:
Bloomington, IN
Rylan is an extremely outgoing, active five-year-old boy. He loves playing sports,
including football, basketball, hockey, and wrestling. When he isn’t watching the movie
“Transformers”, he’s playing with his guinea pig Charlie, his rabbit Wolverine, or his
dogs Buddy and Able.
Rylan suffers from two conditions called Rasmussen’s Encephalitis and Intractable
Seizures. Rasmussen’s Encephalitis is a disease that affects one hemisphere of the brain,
and intractable seizures are seizures that are difficult to control. Currently, Rylan has
over 50 seizures every day. The only treatment that will cure Rylan from his illness is a
surgery where the left hemispshere of his brain is removed.
When Make-A-Wish Foundation® volunteers asked Rylan what he wished for, right
away he knew he wanted to go to Walt Disney World to meet his favorite character
Mickey Mouse! He also can’t wait to meet the characters Phineus and Ferb and ride all
of the rides! Although his trip is on hold right now due to his medical condition, Rylan
can look forward to going to Disney World soon.
