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. He couldn’t wait to get back out on the football field with his team, so when conditioning training began, he wanted to go work out. He is the bad ass bald Read More
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

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
Mental preparation is key
On May 25, 2015 by Michelle LoveBJ has been gearing up for some horribly painful chemo shots this morning. Two years ago, because he had severe anaphylaxis to one of the chemo drugs being infused, he had to endure a total of 60 of these shots. (The shots were the only replacement drug.)

Complete trust in God
On May 25, 2015 by Michelle LoveLong day….BJ’s back is sore from the lumbar puncture/IT chemo and bone marrow aspiration today. His best friend Matthew, who is really more like a brother, spent the afternoon with him here in the hospital. It was the best medicine. We’re exhausted, but in decent spirits. After listening to the doctor explain the new game Read More
The wrong kind of cells
On May 24, 2015 by Michelle LoveTests from BJ’s bone marrow biopsy are back, and they saw lots of blast cells in his marrow. We knew this would be the case, because there were some blast cells in his peripheral blood on Friday. They are still running tests to determine the percentage of blasts in the marrow. Initially, they saw no white Read More
