From Bad to Worse

Our week did NOT get better.


Wednesday, April 4
Back in the ER after a scary morning where his blood sugar crashed (Debbie Deutschmann Klinedon’t know how u do this as this was a terrifying first for us) glucose and IV fluids brought his color back. 

GI Doctor is on his way to talk about his decreased gallbladder function. He is down 26 pounds in 2.5 weeks. Hoping he gets some relief soon.
Wednesday afternoon
Wil is in the pediatric intensive care unit with a few things going on. Looks like they will remove his gallbladder in the morning as chemo has not been kind. His HIDO scan on Monday showed decreased gallbladder function which is contributing to the puking/not eating. His blood sugars have stabilized and they are working on getting him hydrated. Say it with me #chemosucks
Thanks for all the 🙏🏼 and well wishes. We are very blessed.



Thursday morning 7:30 am
He’s in surgery now... send love.

Thursday afternoon
11:00 am Thursday
Wil is back in his room resting. Our surgeon as always did an amazing job. He has five new scars to add to his battle wounds.

Thank you for the prayers, love, and positive energy. Please pay that kindness forward today, especially if you love someone who works the medical field.#wilswarriors

Friday
Friday 3:00pm update, Wil is home. Thanks again for all the well wishes. Hopefully he will be able to rest at home and he’ll let me post some pictures soon! For now pain meds are our friend.
Saturday Morning
Rough night of pain, incisions and headache, but still no puking. Longest streak of no puking in 12 weeks! (Knock on wood)
Sonny, our dog, is happy he is home!

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

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
