Week 7 7/6/17

Been a very rough week... blood transfusion, IV fluids, and a new migraine medicine have given some relief. Paraphrasing what my sister said..."the eternal Leukemia roller coaster where the highs are never too high and the lows are lower than you than you ever imagined."
LOTS of luv from #wilswarriors have given him moments of smiles... St. Louis Cardinals, Jake's Crew Ipad Fund, Embrace Our World Orthodontics, Guarantee Electrical Company, Stephen Androlewicz, Andi Bates, Beth Wilks, Sara Carlson Meinking, Ed Pahuski, Gina Donlin, Lori Murphy, Lisa Slyman, Aunt Irene, PJ Schappert,Huett family,Hassan girls, Mike & Maggie... I try to keep up... please make sure you message me with your address if you have not heard from Brandi Lea or me.
So thankful for those that lift us up and remind us that we can beat this.#wegotthis

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
