Fine

Overall Wil had a pretty good week. Aunt Vic took him to the clinic and his numbers were more consistent. He swam a mile last week and was able to hang out with friends. He even went to school for five whole days for the first time in forever!


It wasn’t all perfect though. There was puking and bone pain and headaches and leg cramps, but I often don’t think to post that as I don’t want to seem like I can’t be happy for the good stuff. 

I’m not a complainer or a worrier. Most people who were my friend before know that my posts mostly included Soccer, wondering where all the laundry came from, the joy of a beautiful sunrise or the excitement when getting the shower temperature right on the first try! 

I’m also that Mom who sends her kids to school unless they have a fever. Everything will be fine. Headache? Drink more water. Throat hurts? Drink more water. Upset tummy? You didn’t drink enough water. AND EVERYTHING WAS ALWAYS FINE...until it wasn’t. A routine headache turned out to be leukemia. And now nothing will ever be fine again.

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

Coaches vs Cancer

Hard to say how proud I am of this kid. Wil received the 2017 Stephanie Phillips Survivorship Award for outstanding courage and leadership in the fight against cancer. Huge Thanks to Coaches vs Cancer STL. We support their mission of raising awareness and funding. Coach Jason Wolfard at Lindbergh nominated Wil for this award and we are grateful to him and his entire coaching staff.  Staff at Coaches vs Cancer STL doing great work.  Yup, still proud (and let's be real, glad he didn't puke) F-L-Y...E-R-S Here is Wil's speech... Coaches vs Cancer Speech 2017 - Wil Ohler Thank you for this award.Thank you to Coach Wolfard for nominating me. Thank you to the family of Coach Stephanie Phillips, I’m sure her family misses her even more so during basketball season. Cancer is not a team anyone ever wants to join. The week before I received my leukemia diagnosis I was playing a soccer tournament in Chicago. Yes, I had been feeling bad for a very lo...
