Admitted

Hi all, We were with Sally at MSK until just after 1am, when doctors cleared her to leave as all tests came back negative and her blood counts were where they are expected to be. She also had a 9:30am appointment for chemo, so would get to see her primary care doctors then. We got […]

At MSK

At MSK

Hi all – just a quick update. I expected to go to Costco tonight, but instead we are at MSK. Sally has had stomach issues since yesterday, and has had obvious discomfort. She does not have a fever, but has not been herself the last 2 days. Nicole called this in today and we were […]

A Lock From My Love

Hi all, Yesterday I noticed blonde strands on Sally’s shoulders. It was a rough day. The boys had left for school and camp. Matthew dropped them off and was on his way to work. I was home alone. Immediately after noticing  I grabbed a pair of scissors and cut a lock for keeping of her […]

Day 4

Hi all – She’s pretty in purple, huh? I’ve also been able to update the site with pictures and the About section finally. With me returning to work today and then coming right home to get the boys to bed, this is all second hand from Nicole. Like a typical husband, I’m sure I got […]

Chemo Day 3

Hi all, Just a very quick update, I’m on about 5 hours combined sleep the last two nights and my bed is calling me. Sally had another good day, although a bit less energy than on Tuesday and not much of an appetite. We also noticed her putting on some weight, and after weighing her […]
