The phrase I would for today would be “common sense.” When I go home, I can live, but I have to be smart about it. I have to pay close attention to how I feel each day. I have to continue working out my legs. I have to continue my nutrition and watch out for [...]
I remember being exhausted when Jacob was a baby. Little sleep, constant breast-feeding – I thought I was going to lose my mind. The first night Jacob slept through the night in the crib in his own room, I was beyond ecstatic. Finally, I could sleep and believe me, I was a much nicer person [...]
Mom and I spent Monday night with the Peacock family. It was a fun evening, seeing Andi’s parents again after probably a decade. Michael made a delicious meal of baby back ribs and homemade mac & cheese; Andi’s mom brought the green bean casserole The kids were adorable and having a great time [...]
Today has been good. I got a lot of information, and I’m okay with it.
Mom and I are driving a rental car and Progressive has my car, which should be fixed within the next 3-5 days at no cost to us. Originally, it seemed that this was going to be an issue because Progressive (the [...]
Today started out pretty normal. We had to wake up early – around 5:30AM in order to be at Moffitt by 7AM. I checked in at the BMT office, got my ID bracelet, and talked to our neighbors while we waited. I had my blood drawn - the usual 5 tubes on Monday. Then, I [...]

Co-workers who have visited my classroom know I love to decorate with apples and smiley faces. Perhaps annoying because it’s bright and happy, but I [...]
I thought I would share some good news about my improvements but at the same time, I feel like I should share the plight of others. The sad news is really about the people I’ve met and it’s been a true learning experience.
Starting with my improvements, my hair is starting to grow back. I have [...]
My routine is off, but it’s not necessarily a bad thing. First of all, I woke up Friday sick. Headache, stomachache – overall not feeling good. Mom had me take a nausea pill, but I still threw up. It was pretty much nothing because I hadn’t eaten yet. So I didn’t eat. I went to [...]
For a while now I’ve wanted to post pictures of my headgear, but I didn’t have a camera. I didn’t ask for one but Joel brought me our old one when he visited, helped me take pictures, and showed me how to upload them. I can now say that I’m not smooth-bald anymore. In the [...]
Before leaving home, I asked Joel and Jake to make me a bear at Build-A-Bear at the mall. I wanted something to take with me, and I wanted the bear to have their voices. I ended up choosing a soft, white polar bear and Jake recorded a message for me to put inside. Joel tried [...]
