You belong among the wildflowers
I was telling my bestie today that I remember when I was a child and my parents used to watch the show “30 Something.” As a little girl, I always thought the people on the show were so old and the show was really strange. I then told her how I wished I would have…

Never looking back
Hi my friends. I’ve missed you. It’s been a whirlwind of a week to say the least. We did our duty as parents to get all the opinions possible as far as Ronan goes. We have met with the best doctors, visited the best hospitals, talked to everyone we could get our hands on, strategized,…

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…

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 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,…

The path is not clear, as the road is long
I feel like I’ve run a marathon today because of everything I got accomplished with a lot of help from my friends. This morning started off busy and I woke up overwhelmed by everything. We still had not heard back from Dr. Kusher from Sloan Kettering to see if he was o.k. with Ronan starting…

We’re not married…. we’re still dating;)
I wish I could tell you tonight that we have our answer. But I can’t. Woody and I both left the house on the same page this morning, thinking we knew which approach we were going to take. That all changed after meeting with Dr. Adams, the head of Stem Cell Transplant at PCH. I…
