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.

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.
