The struggle within
On October 13, 2015 by Michelle LoveHe doesn’t get me. At all. Not many people do. Sometimes I wish he could crawl into my brain and hear the things that I say to him. Things that I wish he knew, but that I just can’t put into words. Things I can’t hear myself say out loud. Instead, we clash. Over and Read More

Tank-up
On October 12, 2015 by Michelle LoveBJ had clinic early this morning to check blood counts. His hemoglobin was low (no surprise, due to his headache), and so was his platelet count.

Platelet re-charge
On October 10, 2015 by Michelle LoveEarly to clinic this morning to check BJ’s blood counts. His platelet count was low again (12k), so he will be getting a unit of platelets.

On October 7, 2015 by Michelle LoveBJ had clinic again this morning for his exam and to check his blood counts. (The picture shows his boredom with going to clinic every other day!) His platelets were high enough that he didn’t need a transfusion today. His white blood cell count dropped significantly, so now he is neutropenic. “Neutropenic” basically means that Read More

On October 2, 2015 by Michelle LoveJust an update on how BJ has been feeling today… He ate a small lunch after chemo finished up yesterday then went to bed. He was too nauseated to eat dinner, and didn’t feel like eating breakfast this morning. Around 1600 today, he started feeling hungry, so we went to Chili’s and got a good Read More

On September 30, 2015 by Michelle LoveBack at the clinic this morning for BJ’s exam. After BJ’s lab results came back, Dr. Kaplan was pleased to see that he still does not have any leukemia showing up in his blood stream. We don’t know what his bone marrow looks like and there is no plan to do another bone marrow biopsy Read More
Reflection and memories made
On September 28, 2015 by Michelle LoveBJ was given 2 tickets to see the Carolina Panthers play the Saints yesterday, and even with the misting rain, we had an incredible time! Like good fans, we stayed in our seats until the very end of the game and watched our team hold on to their lead and seal the win. So like most days, Read More
