It’s been a year and 2 days since I’ve updated this blog. Believe it or not, I am still alive and kicking though! Last weekend, we took the kids to the Outer Banks and had a lot of fun. Kolbrin has 2 teeth now, and is scooting everywhere he wants to go. Kobie is doing …

1 Year!
Circumstances in life often take us places that we never intended to go. We visit some places of beauty and others of pain and desolation. I never imagined that cancer would be a part of my life history–especially not at the age of 23! Like with any great trial, God uses everything for good if …
Just your average update
I figured I was due for an update! I have been doing a little better. I still stay fatigued all of the time, and the more tired I get, the worse I get. You can tell when I am tired because I am not myself. I was hoping to go back to work today, but …
Back from the dead, round II !
Hey guys! I just wanted to let everyone know that I am at home now, and am doing well. I get really tired quick and easy but I guess that’s expected and my body is just healing. I wanted to give everyone a perspective on things now, from MY point of view. on January 8th, …
Emergency Surgery
I woke up at almost 7 this morning and was getting ready to go relieve our night shift nurse for Josh (Thank you SO much Tiff) and I got a call about 8:15 saying that they were taking Josh down for emergency surgery and that I would probably not be able to see him before …
Lunchtime update
Dr Harron came in this morning and agreed to have Josh moved to 10south, the oncology unit until the surgery. We requested to see Dr. Fintel today since he was the doctor on the oncology floor. We have seen him a couple other times since May and we really like him. Since Dr. Schertz is …
Out of the ICU
Josh got to move out of the ICU today and into the PCU. He is doing well. The doctor is letting him eat and drink again. Tomorrow the doctor has ordered “activities” which I’m sure is walking the halls since he hasn’t been able to get out of bed yet. He is doing really well. …
Another surgery down
We got to RMH around 6:15 and got checked in. About 6:30 they took Josh back to pre-op and around 7:15 they called me back because he didn’t remember his medical history since May. I’m honestly not sure if he didn’t remember or didn’t care to keep repeating the information over and over again. About …
Phew, thank goodness we’re home
We got in yesterday afternoon, we were both exhausted! The flights home were interesting. We had a lot of turbulence from Indianapolis to Charlotte. We both hated it, Josh was scared and had I been sitting closer to the bathroom I would have probably just been in there leaning over the toilet for the rest …
We are here
Yesterday started out rough. I woke up sick so my mom called my doctor at home and called me in something that we picked up on the way to the airport. We got to the airport 2 hours early. Thankfully we requested a motorized cart for when we got to Charlotte. Once we got into …
