Chemo day 6.2.17

Last night was a rough one, after an ok day. He had some bleeding, his platelets were low (evident by his gray color), and he puked several times. Poor guy! He woke up at 4 am starving because of all those steroids but went back to sleep for a while before waking up for "second breakfast". We think he's becoming a Hobbit (breakfast, second breakfast, elevenses!).

We are currently at the Cancer Center and Wil has already had two bags of chemo. His platelets were down to 5! Soooooo, we'll be here another 3 hours to get a bag of platelets and a bag of blood. He's having a tough regulating his body temperature and he is bloated and burpy. Miralax will be on board starting tonight as he is literally full of poo😬.

He comes back for more chemo on Monday. We'll see how he does over the weekend. -Brandi

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/

Make A Wish soccer game

It has been awhile since I updated here. It is much easier to do from Facebook if you can follow his story there. CLICK HERE Wil has been struggling with the effects of chemotheraphy. The chemo has not been kind to his stomach, gallbladder, liver, or head. The good day was his MAKE A WISH faculty soccer game. March 15, 2018 Our family is humbled by the support of Wil and the Make A Wish foundation. Thank you from the bottom of our overflowing hearts, we love being a FLYER! -Thank you to Lori Condellire, Susan Dooling, & Beth Johnston for sharing pictures! A few members of the  StepUp  of St. Louis Teen Coalition presented a check from their budget for $100 to be used for Wil's Wish fundraising at the soccer game to day! So cool to see these kids in action. Way to go  Truman Middle School  for organizing such a fun afternoon.  # wilswarriors   # stepupstl

Breathing is NOT optional-Saturday

Saturday update: Wil had an allergic reaction last night and stopped breathing. The medical team and  Kristen Josephine  were amazing they bagge d him and gave him shots to open his airway. It was terrifying. He is shaken but doing ok. Very grateful for the amazing staff at the PICU.
