A teenager’s first day walking the halls of Screven County High School as a freshman was delayed for two months, as he underwent an aggressive treatment in his battle with leukemia. Fourteen-year-old Ryan Taylor and his family learned of his diagnosis with Acute Myloid Leukemia on Aug. 1 and have been camping out in hospital rooms ever since. “It was really hard to deal with at first,” Ryan’s mother Trish McBride said, “but it’s gotten a little easier, and Ryan is beginning to adapt to the rigorous treatment.”
