#TBT My Godson Wil and I at my wedding in 2006. ❤️ this kid!
Today, he's fighting the battle against leukemia.
Only two more days until we walk with him in the LLS Light the Night Walk. Please donate to our team if you can. Let's end blood cancers!!



SEPTEMBER 23, 2017
Plenty of time to come walk with us! Forest park, Cricket field we are by the face painting tent!

Kristine:  A sea of orange!
What an emotional night as we walked with Wil. We had fun- there was celebration and dancing and lots of laughs. And there were also tears and hugs and reflection. I am so thankful he was able to be there after having such a rough week.❤️
We were asked by organizers to come over to the front of the walk because we had one of the largest friends & family groups. ❤️😊
Our family members also drank a toast to Uncle Sonny, who we lost to leukemia in 2003- Milwaukee's Best, his favorite. ❤️
Thank you to our incredible Wil's Warriors team and all those who supported our cause!


Great job, Wil's Warriors! We came in #23 out of 190 friends & family teams.
👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 Whoot, whoot! Together we raised $2885.00 for The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society. Thank you for fundraising and for walking with us! See you next year??😊
A huge thank you to everyone who donated! It really means a lot to all of us who love someone with a blood cancer.❤️

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
