5 months

5/18/17 ... 5 months ago our new reality started...cancer definitely amplifies everything in your life. We still struggle every day to find our balance and we know the only way to get past this is to get through. I've told a few friends lately that it feels like we are at the bottom of a lake, we can see the bubbles rising but can't quite get ourselves going in that direction and that when we get to the surface we won't know where anything is.
So for right now we are still sitting at the bottom of the lake and ever so grateful for those of you who are swimming around in the muck with us. For those that send down life lines of food and friendship and hugs and listening even when it's the same ole fishing tale keep sending out those lines of hope.
Much love for all who are swimming or struggling to swim and for those who stop and throw out a line. And for those of you who are at the surface, save a boat ride for me

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.
