Cheers to being finished with Ro’s Stem Cell Harvest!
We spent 12 hours at Sloan today. I took Ro over there this morning to finish up his stem cell harvest. We are finally finished and they got more than enough, thank the lord. I don’t think I could have handled one more day of him being hooked up and I know he couldn’t have.…

Ronan baby takes NYC
Today, has been non-stop. We got up at 7 NYC time, got all ready and headed over to Sloan Kettering. Ronan was not happy and is still not happy about being here. He keeps asking for Sharon, our nurse back home, and said he doesn’t want to make any new friends here. He was so…

My friend, Sandra, is one bad-ass MoFo <3
I’m dedicating my post to my new hero tonight, Sandra Foutz. I’ve talked about her little girl, Mia, several times on my blog. She is fighting brain cancer and I met her husband at PCH when he ran me down because he recognized Ronan from this blog. I’ve become good friends with Matt and Sandra;…

Overwhelmed, Insomnia, Anxiety and more
I’m overwhelmed. What do I want to do when I’m overwhelmed? Go into hiding; hence the ignoring phone calls, blog, texts, facebook, etc…. Sorry to those have been calling and I’ve been MIA. I was so ready to leave for New York today. SO READY. I don’t know how much more of this anticipation/anxiety I…

We need a little luck
In an ironic twist of fate, here we are. Back at PCH, in the very hospital room where this all started. Ronan spiked a fever today, which immediately sends us back to PCH, to the ER, and now we are finally in a room on the second floor. I am trying not to freak out…

I am numb… and cancer is dumb
Clinic Day! Ro got platelets and blood to boost him up for our flight on Monday. He has been tired the last couple of days; crashing from the chemo. His ANC is at 10… which means he has no immune system. Dr. Eshin said it was good that we were flying on a private jet,…

I’m just a girl in the world
Favorite conversation of the night: Me: “Ronan, you’re so nice.” Ronan: “Thank you.” Me: “You’re welcome.” Ronan: “Mom, you’re so cute.” Me: “Thank you.” Ronan: “Your so welcome.” I love his little voice so much. And that smile could melt your heart. I love that every night, he curls up beside me and holds my…

A picture is worth a thousand words… and a thousand tears
Last night, I took a picture of Ronan, and it took my breath away. He doesn’t even look like the same baby anymore. Cancer has taken over and completely changed his appearance. He is skinny, pale, his eyebrows and eyelashes are gone, his bald head and sunken in eyes are heart wrenching. After I looked…

What am I doing?? Not sleeping.
UGH. I should be sleeping. I can feel myself getting tired. I tried to sleep. I really did. I cuddled up with Ronan and he was sooooo snuggly. He soon fell asleep. I did not. As soon as I started to drift off, the nurses started coming in and out. Checking his fluids, blood pressure,…

Treasure each day, because you don’t know how many you’re going to be given
There was a reason we didn’t start chemo this week. It was because we needed to be together this Thanksgiving as a family. It truly was one of the best Thanksgivings I’ve had in my life. Woody and I started off the day by making a big breakfast for the boys’ and Uncle Ron came…
