Flu Shot
Hi all – today we headed in with Sally for her treatment at Sloan Kettering. Last night, Nicole and I were talking about how we weren’t very clear on the path of Sally’s treatment, so decided to see if we could both get a meeting with one of her doctors to ask some questions that […]
3 Months In
Hi all – We realized today that it’s been exactly three months since Sally was formally diagnosed with Infant Leukemia. It feels longer, Nicole says it’s felt like a year. It has been a bit longer, and many who follow Sally’s updates have only started following recently and not know the whole story which I’ll […]
Ear Infection (Thank God)
Hi all – The last 24 hours was a whirlwind. Last night, Sally was as jolly as could be. She was smiley and playful, I put her down on the bathmat so I could, well, use the potty. She just sat there playing with a stool and one of William’s socks he left in there […]
Cocktail
Hi all – Starting to get texts and emails asking how Sally is doing so figured I’d better get an update out. We try to post something daily on Facebook, if you don’t follow you can by clicking here and liking Sally’s page. Sally had an OK week. Over the weekend, she was very clingy […]
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 […]
Bubble Girl
Hi all – Obviously we’ve taken a few days off from the blog, Sally has been doing well so there hasn’t been much to update. She has been home since last week, and returns to Memorial Sloan Kettering tomorrow. Saturday night Nicole and I got out for a bit, we had a couple beers at […]
Bath Time!
Hi all – Nicole is putting Sally down and then she and I are going to go on a date (or grab a quick beer if you want to take the sexiness out of it) as my sister is here and the kids are all asleep. Nicole went out Thursday night with some friends and […]
Development
Hi all – Sally and Nicole returned to Memorial Sloan-Kettering today for her continued treatment. She received a high level of fluids in the morning via IV, and then the chemo in the afternoon. Nicole says she was very tired and slept a lot during the day, although she did manage to get some PT […]
