7/26/17 home from hospital

Wil came home from the hospital last night. He is still fighting a headache and is sleeping a ton. The walking pneumonia is probably what caused his fever to spike and we found out a few more answers, this disease never fails to horrify me.

He made it to the clinic this morning for chemo and is still in bed. Leukemia is a long hard battle and we are so grateful to everyone who gives us the inspiration to fight on. The support online and in real life is overwhelming.

So grateful to my family who are ALWAYS on call. My sister and Kristen Josephine who came to stay with me after working so many 12 hour shifts in a row! It sometimes seems redundant to thank your family but I have the best! I love them with all my heart.

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.

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

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

ALL in for Wil
