Winner Game 1-Saturday

Although winning games is just icing on the cake. I know it was important for his teammates.

This is the first goal Wil saw his team score since he was diagnosed. He almost jumped out of the car with excitement. Thank you for capturing the moment! Much love for these boys! #cancersucks

Wil did not have the best morning but he really wanted to see "the boys." Ohler worked hard to get a mattress and the wheelchair in the car. Wil was not feeling so good, so we arrived a little after halftime. He was hoping to sit up in the wheeelchair for a bit, but that didn't work out so Ohler backed the car up to the field. Wil said, "wow look at all the people in orange." (If anyone has a crowd pic plz send, so sad I didn't think of it) It was fun to sit and listen to Wil narrate the game, he knows these boys very very well ðŸ˜‚. When he watched Mitchell finish and score Wil started pounding on the window and then when Mitchell came right over and pointed at Wil, he opened to door to give Mitchell and the boys a "fist pump" in the air! Wil has been playing with these boys for a long time and the families are the best. We have so many crazy out of town stories (and that's just the parents ðŸ˜‚). Coach David Geerlingand Coach Michael Skordos are great role models on toughness, discipline, and kindness. They balance each other out most days ðŸ˜ƒ. And I won't let everyone know that Coach Dave is really just a lovable softy with a huge heart, cause that might tarnish his bad-boy image.
Wil then went on to have an ok night. No puking and lots of happy chatter about the game and what the boys need to do next. He slept 5 straight hours and then another 3 and woke up in a great mood. Thanks for the lift soccer family. We love you so much!

Edit I put in comments but should go here!
And when I say SOCCER Community, I mean EVERYONE. Lou Fusz Club, LF Pike boys, Scott Gallagher teammates who came over to say hi to Wil, Lindbergh, CBC , Vianney soccer friends, even lots of St Paul soccer family! The soccer community is amazing! STLFC goalie tweeted at Wil and so many other USL, MSL, and USMNT goalies reaching out to him. The soccer community is a very special group of people whom we are lucky to call family ❤️⚽️

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.

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...

Happy 17th birthday, Wil!

Happy Birthday,  Wil Ohler  ! I am so lucky to be your mom. You fill our lives with laughter and show us what real strength is. Yesterday they celebrated with him at the cancer center when he came in for chemo. To say that you should never take life for granted has taken on a whole new meaning. I ask for prayers for the little ones who won't be celebrating another birthday. Send their families your light and energy for strength and peace. For Wil we ask that you do something today for someone else who will never be able to pay you back, spread kindness, love, and of course laughter. # wilswarriors   # wilwins
