Strength and Faith
On June 8, 2015 by Michelle LoveMy son. He just confounds me sometimes. He’s seen me having a really hard time with all of this, even though I try my best to hide it. We were just talking, and he said that he hadn’t researched all of this like I had, so it wasn’t bothering him as much. He seemed so calm Read More

Kure Beach
On June 8, 2015 by Michelle LoveBJ needed platelets on Friday, before his 3 shots could be given. His count needed to be 30,000, but it was 17,000, so they gave him a unit of platelets.

On June 3, 2015 by Michelle LoveUpdate from the past few days… BJ had a good weekend, and felt pretty good. He was able to watch Carly’s gymnastics competition, and go to church Sunday.

BJ STRONG!!
On May 31, 2015 by Michelle LoveReminding myself just how strong my kid really is! This was recorded 10 months after his initial diagnosis, during some pretty rough chemo treatments.

Erwinia Asparaginase shots
On May 30, 2015 by Michelle LoveBJ had his Erwinia shots again this morning. He really did great. He sure is tough. The needle is big and the medicine burns going into his muscle. He’s already had 9 shots so far. Each one has left it’s mark on his thighs. He’s counting down…36 more shots to go over the next 4 weeks. #CureForBJRound2 Read More
