Numbers trending up!

8 months since diagnosis...8 was Wil’s first Soccer number. He loved it because 8 on its side is the infinity symbol. I love random, crazy associations that mean nothing and everything.

Today Wil’s numbers came up for the first time in four weeks. I experienced a genuine moment of happiness. It sincerely shocked me. Earlier in the day I had read an article on sorrow and the author wrote “happiness is not a place we arrive, but moments we pass through.” I love random, crazy associations that mean nothing and everything.

I think this weekend I will share random moments of happiness with 8 people to pay it forward. I welcome you to do the same. I love random, crazy associations that mean nothing and everything.

P.S. Thanks Aunt Vic for taking Wil, you make a great “next.” I love you!

Just one night of pills...it is overwhelming.

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/

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...

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.

ALL in for Wil
