Ro baby takes Philidelphia and New York City
I am so happy to tell you tonight that I haven’t updated things in a few days due to a very busy, but fun weekend. It’s the first time that I can remember since before Ronan was diagnosed with cancer, that things around here felt very normal. We spent the weekend hanging out at home,…

My dreams are my reality
Hoping for a quiet weekend, at home with a whole lot of nothing going on. As of now, our plan is that Woody and I will be flying out to Philidelphia on Tuesday with Ronan. We will meet with Dr. Mosse at Chop and we are talking about making the drive to New York to…

Dear Cancer,
I will never love you. You will never be my friend. You have taken my beautiful life and ripped it into shreds. I have watched you hurt my child over and over again. You have taken his beautiful strong body and tried to weaken it, his bright blue eyes and tried to dim them, his…

A small glimpse of the amazingness of Fernanda
This is her latest email to try to get Oprah‘s attention. Can you see why I am in LOVE with this woman?? She is amazingly smart and witty. Love this email; it cracked me up and is so to the point and true. How can these people not listen?? WHY OPRAH AND STEVE JOBS SHOULD…

San Francisco baby steps
Sitting on our plane back to Phoenix as I write this. This is something straight out of a movie. Yes, my baby has cancer. He is sound asleep beside me. As Woody and I watched him sleep, we held hands and talked quietly about all the decisions we have to make. I looked up at…

Ro baby takes San Francisco
We are leaving this evening for San Francisco. Praying for a safe flight of course but most of all praying for a little bit of clarity. I hope by looking into Dr. Matthay’s eyes, that I will have a better feeling about everything. I am hoping she can give us some answers and guidance. I…

Magic Medicine, Day 4 and Day 5…. Round 7
What a beautiful, rainy day. My favorite kind of days. Being from the Pacific Northwest, I miss days like this so much. Ronan woke up happy as a clam, excited to know he was going home later this afternoon. We played in his bed for a little bit and then we went down to the…

Magic Medicine…. Day 3, Round 7
Ronan and I started off the morning bright and early. He was up around 7 and was asking to go to breakfast. I needed an excuse to go and get him his Slurpee anyway to mix his chemo in, so we left the house and went over to one of my favorite breakfast spots, Taylor’s,…

Magic Medicine…. Day 2, Round 7
We are at the clinic while Ronan does his second day of his new chemo. This morning we did his oral dose at the house before we left. Mimi Kay stopped and picked up a Slurpee and I put on my rubber gloves, opened his chemo pill, and dumped the powder into a little cup…
