Wil, Chris, Kristen, Kate, and I am overwhelmed with the love and support from family, friends, Lindbergh, and our Soccer family, as well as total strangers. Brandi Lea is an amazing bff and the kindest person you could ever meet and she knows how deep my love for her runs. For everyone else, as my sisters say, "no words, just all the feels" Our learning curve is steep and we know there will be good days and bad. I hope everyone knows that when they say you can "feel" the power of the community lifting you up, it is so true. Much luv - T

Never thought I would be so happy to see a bag of platelets! If you can donate platelets I know many parents out there would be forever in your debt. Many many blessings for the people who donated so Wil could have multiple bags, you have no idea how much I love you right now. Link below for FAQ

Wil is home, he had two bags of platelets today and is still bleeding but he has enough hemoglobin to go home. He needed the mental break. We will go back Friday morning for outpatient procedures. Thanks for the prayers and the visits! As always message or text me, I'll answer when I can.

Day 9, today went as well as can be expected after a night of puking. He has the best doctors and nurses, that he teases endlessly 😂 you can always count on Wil to make everyone smile. Thank you for the continual support. For you nerdy types his white blood count was normal, platelets were 14 (yikes, they gave him a bag), they did a spinal infusion with chemo, and 2 chemo treatments one before and one after the procedure. Message/text me if u want more details I'm learning too! ~T

Sorry that I have not updated here as I can not do it from my phone. Wil was in the hospital 2 weeks in April and then on his Make a Wish trip the first week of May. Please follow Wil's story on facebook "Wil Ohler's fight with leukemia #wilswarriors" https://www.facebook.com/Wil-Ohlers-fight-with-leukemia-wilswarriors-174102950041537/
5/25/2017 So, Wil is resting at home. It was a bit of struggle balancing him as he walked from the car all the way to the upstairs bedroom, but we made it! None of us were ready for him to leave the "safety" of the hospital. There you have a whole team of nurses with all that equipment to monitor him, so it was nerve wrecking thinking of bringing him home with nothing to help keep an eye on his vitals. After nearly a week of watching machines and carefully watching his pulse, checking his oxygen, and monitoring his heart rate it was hard to fathom going cold turkey. We joked that it was like bringing home your first baby. You can't believe they're just letting you walk out with this fragile young human. Scary. As of today, he's still in a lot of pain, his port continues to bleed, he's had a bloody nose, his bones ache, his back is sore, and is bored already :) However, sleeping in a nice big soft bed has helped...those hospital beds are definitely not built...

Cardinals Fantasy Camp 2018

"Sports is all I've known." - Wil Ohler Cardinals Fantasy Camp 2018 I will never be able to truly explain what this trip meant to me, but I do know what Wil misses most of all about soccer is the relationships. He is a very talented, competitive athlete who was/is wide open on most occasions. He loves everything about sports and soccer in particular. He has more random sports stats and facts in his head than should really be possible. But what he misses the most is the bonding (laughing, jaw jacking, rough housing, inside jokes, etc) that happens when you are part of a team. He just didn't really know it until it was gone and he got to have a small bit of that back on this trip. I will be forever grateful to Dr Rob and the Cardinals, every former Cardinals legend in attendance and every camper who attended who ALL took time to give Wil words of encouragement (as well as donate lots of money for research for teenage Leukemia). A few things about traveling with a c...
