Hello family & friends and Happy (almost) New Year! Big day tomorrow, as I go in for echo to check how my heart’s holding up, and, most importantly, a CT scan to see if the chemo’s working. I’d like to think all is good, as I’ve been feeling well, and working, walking, and even jogging …
Just an update: all relatively good here – Covid dustup is behind us – all 4 girls tested negative the end of last week – supposedly Aedan never got it (although we may antibody test him in few weeks to see) – although it was kind of a nightmare for all of us with the …
Quick update: C is now 100%, T is close to 100%, M is much better last day or two, as well. C is still in QT with T and M, until they’re all in the clear. A is still fine (maybe retest him or get him antibody test at some point?). B is well past …
For those keeping score, Girls 4 – Boys 0. Briton’s had it and is over it. Christie tested positive again. MacKenzie and Tegan both tested positive yesterday. Aedan and I both negative. C is feeling much better. Mackie and Tegan both have minor symptoms. Keep the prayers rolling for Tegan please, as she’s uniquely vulnerable! …
Can’t a guy just relax and enjoy his Red Devil in peace? The siege at the Graber compound continues, but we are holding up well. Christie tested positive. Briton’s original test was positive, but she has since tested negative and has no symptoms now – so she had it and is in the clear. The …
Gonna keep this one short and sweet, but figured I’d get it out there because I know folks are trying to reach C and checking in with me, etc. It seems the virus might have found its way into our house. Christie is quarantining in Briton’s room, and she’s been pretty sick past 48 hours …
Greetings from ChemoLand! As this was my first week, I figured I’d get some highlights recorded for posterity’s sake. But before I go there, I want to again thank everyone out there for the amazing support our family has received. Prayers, kind thoughts, well wishes, texts, calls, notes, letters, pop-ins, drive-bys, meals, help with the …
First of all … HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO TEGAN!!!!! She turned 12 yesterday! So yeah, that would mean 12 years ago today, she was chilling under the blue lights of her NICU bed, while the docs were telling us she was born without a bile duct, etc. etc., and throwing around phrases like “incompatible with life.” I …
LONG ONE: IF YOU JUST WANT STRAIGHT-UP NEXT STEPS INFO, SKIP ALL THE WAY DOWN TO WHERE IT SAYS: “So there you have it – here’s where I’m at right now:”) PARENTAL WARNING: the following contains frequent use of BAD MOVIE QUOTES and CHEESY SPORTS METAPHORS, occasional use of FOUL LANGUAGE, and a single reference …
This is a tough update to put together, but I need to get it out there. We’ve known for a couple weeks now that the lung biopsy was kind of an all or nothing situation. If it came back negative, then we’d have a tough, but clear path out of this. If it went the …
