“People have it worse off than me”
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.

Go
On May 25, 2015 by Michelle LoveBJ was a trooper with the 3 shots. The nurses here are amazing. We love them so much. None of them wanted to do it, but they gave him the shots when BJ said “Go”…all at the same time. #CureForBJRound2 Read More
This nightmare
On May 25, 2015 by Michelle LoveMy son has Leukemia. It’s not a bad dream, it’s real. I do know that, but it still doesn’t cut through this fog I’m in. It’s survival mode. It’s autopilot. It’s brutal. I have to stay strong, and most of the time I am. We’re going to get through this. I know that, but what I don’t know is what each day will Read More
