I’m throwing in the towel and taking a bubble bath with a Margarita. Enough is enough today.
You do not want to be in my head tonight. It is not a fun place to be. It’s filled with anger, guilt, and sadness. Tonight, I am tired. Just plain tired of all of this cancer bullshit. It has taken over my entire life and I feel so selfish for thinking this but I…

I get by with a little help from my friends
There is no better way to start a Sunday morning than meeting up with my girlfriends at Taylor’s for breakfast. Tricia, Bethany, Fernanda, and Stacy all came prepared with everything we needed to talk about as far as getting things in the works for transplant. These women, I swear could rule the world. Smart, compassionate,…

Yoga, Hiking, and Tears
What a busy, yet peaceful day. I started off my day joining my friend, Stacy, for a hot yoga class. An hour and 15 minute class where I was drenched in sweat and tears almost the entire time. I have not done a yoga class in years, but it has been something I have dying…

There’s beauty in the breakdown
Ronan and I headed to PCH this morning for his clinic visit and audiology test. Once we got to the clinic, I could tell Ronan had been put through enough this week, so I ended up calling audiology and rescheduling the rest of his test for next week. Enough is enough. It was a good…

The silence scares me because it screams the truth
A week. It’s been a week of sharing a room. Hospital beds. Hospital clothes. Hospital T.V. Hospital seconds/minutes/days/nights. Hospital tears. Hospital depression. Being home last night for the entire night with my twins felt so good that it hurt. I took them to breakfast this morning and we looked just like the perfect little family.…

Julien – The Julien Collot Foundation
Julien – The Julien Collot Foundation. I don’t have words tonight. Only tears. Macy, you know why. Mace and I saw this little boy while we were at Sloan. We couldn’t figure out what he had, but we knew it was something serious. I told Macy it had to be cancer, since that is what…

An old soul
Ronan had his clinic visit this morning. His levels have dropped just as we were expecting. We are so used to this chemo thing now that we know where his counts will be. What I didn’t expect wash his platelet counts to be so low. They were 10,000 today. WHAT?!?! 10,000 and not a bloody…

Magic Medicine… Day 2 Round 6
I so needed to take a little break from the hospital today. Ronan is still refusing to get out of bed so we spent the morning playing; I tried my best to entertain him. Our favorite nurse, Sharon, came to do Ronan’s dressing change. He did pretty well with it but at one point I…

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.…
