Bay Ridge (really) Cares
Hi all – It’s been a long but wonderful weekend. Yesterday started off normal enough, Nicole headed off to work at the crack of dawn as usual on a Saturday. Sally was a bit grumpy and very clingy which made getting the boys ready for soccer a bit challenging on my own. Our friend AnnMarie […]
Unicorn
Hi all – Tomorrow is the big Ragamuffin Parade and fundraiser for Sally. Nicole and I have spent the night getting ready for it. Discussing timing, Sally’s treatment, making a unicorn costume for our 7 year old son. Doesn’t every little boy want to be a unicorn with rainbow hair? Our unicorn to be, Thomas, […]
Sally In the News
Hi all – Sally had a good day at Sloan-Kettering. She received her scheduled spinal tap, chemo injection, and started on her steroids. I actually just ran out to the store to get some Benadryl in case Sally can’t sleep from the steroids, which the doctors used in the hospital on night’s where she was […]

Day of Bad to Good
Hi all – In short, the overall theme of our day was things went from bad to good. 1) Our morning was a rough one. First off our two goldfish, won at the local carnival by the boys this weekend, were found dead in the bowl by Nicole this morning. “What do we do?” she […]
Papa
Hi all – the day started out well at the Kabel homestead. Sally was up when I got back from a run and we got to hang out in the kitchen together while making breakfast and getting the boys read for school. She sat in her chair and did a lot of talking and smiling […]
Oral Chemo
