7/30/17 Strength

Good news!! Wil is awake and planning on going to lunch with friends... send him strength! He had a bad Friday, a "meh" Sat with lots of joint pain, but walking... and this morning he is medicated and motivated to see his friends. #wegotthis
A beautiful person who guided my life in many ways used to pick a word of the year and share it in her Christmas letters. Every year since then for over 25 years I pick a word on New Years Eve and use it as a compass to guide my upcoming year...not sure she know how much of an influence she continues to have over my life.
The picture below is the word I chose for 2017. (I made it with Legos in my sister's basement 😍 while we were doing a NYE challenge from another dear family friend-wow I have awesome people ..it was chosen for the physical things I was going to accomplish this year... but WOW did I need it more than I could have ever imagined.
Thanks to everyone who gives us strength... much love from the Ohlers.

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.
