Hellllloooo Phoenix
Home. Safe and sound. Tonight, my life flashed before my eyes as I pictured not having Ronan on a private jet to get him home. I seriously was almost sick to my stomach and I looked over at Trish and said, “Could you imagine if we would have had to fly home on a commercial…

Sad to leave, but have to go
The update is we are coming home tomorrow. I am scrambling, have been scrambling for a couple of days now, mentally, I was not ready to go back to Arizona. I feel like I’ve taken these past couple of days to get my mind wrapped around coming home. I feel like I am ready now.…

There is nothing sweeter than kissing the bald head of a cancer child
You know how some things in life were just so meant to be? Things like this seem to be happening to me often these days, but today it is truer than ever. I’ve mentioned before my new friend, Macy, who did not know me, but my blog was passed along to her through a friend.…

Hospital Reality sucks
We moved out of the POU (Pedatric Oncology Unit) today and into a different area of the 9th floor. I wish we could have stayed in the POU, but moving to this room is a step up as far as getting us out of here. The POU only has 3 rooms and they are so…

Prepare to be schooled
Hello world! Last night, Woody and I fell asleep around 2 East Coast Time. Ronan woke up around 1 a.m. and was wanting to eat some popsicles. He then wanted some books read to him so I read him one of my favorites when I was little, “The Pokey Little Puppy,” and a few Mickey…

Day 1, Post Op
We have been back at Sloan since yesterday. Dr. Angel (La Quaglia) came by yesterday and was blown away that Ronan was already out of the Picu. Dr. Kusher, whom is one of the Neuroblastoma Doctors here, came by as well. He has been the one from the beginning whom has been talking to Woody…

The rebirth of Ronan Sean Thompson
I seriously feel like I’ve just been through labor again. I am that tired, exhausted, and so relieved. All of the same feelings that come with childbirth. Ronan’s surgery was smooth sailing. Dr. La Quaglia is a God, is blessed by God, and has angels surrounding him every second of the day. We met with…

Update One…. kind of a generic one
One of the nurses that comes out into the waiting room to give everyone updates, came to see us. She said Ronan went to sleep beautifully, they have started, and he is going great. I think she saw what a wreck I was so she put us back in a private room to wait. I…

Here’s to Ronan and our Surgeon of the Angels
I carried Ronan all the way to Sloan this morning. He held on to me tightly and we talked all about what was going to go on today and how he has an angel for a doctor who is going to get the tumor out of his tummy. He seemed excited and I told him…

Mess with the bull, you get the horns!
