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.…

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…

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…

Magic Medicine… Round 4, Day 3
I slept in my own bed last night. Woke up around 3 a.m. though…. couldn’t sleep. Saw that my dear CC was up on Twitter, so, we text messaged for a while back and forth. She couldn’t sleep either. Just shows how connected we are. I finally fell back asleep around 4 a.m. and slept…

Sometimes I’ve believed as many as six impossible things before breakfast
I feel a little like Alice in Wonderland. A little lost, scared, curious, brave, hopeful, determined, a champion, a dreamer and strong. A little like the Mad Hatter too. Crazy, funny, smart, and zany. And the White Queen, confident, gracious, and sassy. I relate to so many of these characters in this movie. I feel…

Magic Medicine… Day 2, Round 4
That stupid pit is back in my stomach today. It is the worst feeling. Makes me not want to eat, not want to sleep…. it’s like a dull, empty pain that comes and goes. And when it is here, it is a constant reminder of what we are up against. Before all of this, I…
