No more Mr. Nice Guy
When I became a mom, I knew it was my calling in life. It was the one thing that I was meant to do and I was really, really, good at it. When my twins were born, a lot of people wondered how I did it. How in the world did I manage to take…

Magic Medicine Day one, Round 2
We got to the clinic at 9 a.m. this morning and did a lot of waiting. It was 11:30 before they actually started the chemo. He had to have his blood drawn, weight taken, height measured, fluids given, etc… before they could start. Ronan has been a little trooper and causing a lot mischief since…

No smoke and mirrors here, people
Today was a beautiful day from the beginning until the end. My morning started with a quick trip to the store and a visit from my favorite cousin in the whole world, Roy, and his amazing daughter, Shannon. Was nice to see them and to catch up. I love hearing about the happenings of their…

Ronan the Rebel
It’s not his fault. It’s not his fault that he is like Dr. Jeckyll and Mr. Hyde now. One minute we are having the best time and the next minute he is running away, slamming the door and telling me he hates me. Then he opens the door, runs to me screaming and hitting me…

A hard day ended with a beautiful night
I’ve pretty much been homebound all week. Around 4:30 I was feeling like I needed to get out for a bit. I called up Trish and no questions asked, she was off to the rescue. Trish and Marisa picked me up for dinner at 6 and we headed to Chelsea’s Kitchen. We sat out on…

I hate broviac dressing changes
Today was awful. Horrific. Something a mother and Mimi Kay should never have to experience. It’s those damn dressing changes for his broviac. You’d think in this day and age there would be an easier way. It took 4 of us to do it. Our nurse Sharon is amazing and he was handling it really…

Back in the saddle again
This morning I woke up at 4:30 on my own. I had been planning on waking up at 5 to get to boot camp, but 4:30 is when the little alarm went off in my head. Ronan was sleeping right up on me. I watched him sleep for about a half an hour, then talked…

No regrets
Today, I spoke with a women named Joy. A friend of mine, Chris, gave me her number. I called her and we had a good talk for about a half an hour. She was full of such light, energy, and positivity. I told her a bit about Ronan and what we are going through. She…
