Day 7 – Sally’s Home!
Hi all – just want to let you know Sally came home late this evening, the boys and I went to go pick her and Nicole up. Her counts shot way up yesterday, and we were given another painkiller to use as needed, which we’re trying to avoid as it may make her a bit […]
Day 6 – Bone Pain
Hi all – Good news and bad news. The bad news is that Sally had a rough day. She woke up and was whimpering and crying for quite some time, even when being held and walked around. That’s very unusual for her, when Nicole or I hold her she’ll typically calm down right away. This […]
Day 5 – Off Isolation
Hi all – I’m here with Sally at MSK tonight. Nicole went home to see the boys, her first time leaving the hospital since she arrived Monday morning. It is a much needed break for her and know the boys were looking forward to seeing their Mommy. She’ll head to work tomorrow for the day, […]
Thanksgiving Photos
Hi all – we just wanted to share a couple quick photos from yesterday. The boys and I arrived from Florida at 2pm, AnnMarie picked us up and took us home to Brooklyn so we could grab the car and head into Memorial Sloan-Kettering. I also thought to grab a bottle of wine and throw […]
Admitted Update
Hi all – as I wrote earlier, Sally was admitted this morning due to a fever and low blood counts, and is in isolation with a cold. I spoke to Nicole earlier, and we misunderstood Sally’s counts, her WBC is .3, her ABS is actually .0. Basically, she has no immune system. Her platelets are […]
Admitted
Hi all – Sally was scheduled to have chemo and start steroids today, however after a rough week Nicole noticed early this morning that she was very pale. She was also whimpering, even when being held so Nicole decided to head in early. Turns out that Sally’s blood levels are very low and she developed […]
Busy Weekend

It was put on by Frankie’s Mission, one of the non-profits that contributed to Sally’s fundraiser in October. They featured a video that […]
Cycle 4 – Maintenance 1
Hi all – This morning Sally kicked off her 4th cycle of treatment, she received a spinal tap with an injection of chemo into her spine like she has many times in the past. With the first two months being 30-day cycles, and the last one being 60-day, she is now in her 5th month […]
Chemo Day 3
Hi all – just a quick update. Sally was at Sloan-Kettering again today for her 3rd and final day of intense chemo this week. She did well, sleeping twice through treatment and being in an overall good mood. Her counts still looked good, so we hope for a hospital free weekend. Sally usually does fine […]

Hi all – sorry about sending the random picture earlier, was trying something new on my phone and thought I was just uploading it to the site. Happy so many of you enjoyed it! I’m going to use pictures with captions to walk you through our day… So we headed home, and Day 2 is […]
