Switching over

Hello friends.
It’s been a long time.
I’ve been writing on evernote and transferring my posts to Facebook and Caringbridge, but I don’t like Caringbridge, I miss my WordPress blog.  It has a pretty little app for my phone 🙂 So I’m going to switch over, and update.

Ben, my third child, has leukemia. He was diagnosed on September 12th, 2014 with high risk T cell Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia.

I have been documenting this process to keep our friends and family updated, because we are so grateful for the love and support we receive from you all and I know you are concerned and want to know what’s happening. Also it has been cathartic for me. A couple people have pointed out that this could be helpful for others who have to go through this. And it’s true, I searched for blogs that documented other children’s journeys through ALL but didn’t find many that matched my child’s specific illness.

So, we’re right in the thick of it – we went through the first two phases, Induction and Consolidation and they weren’t successful enough – so now we’re preparing for a bone marrow transplant.  Josh, our oldest son, is a perfect match.

So that’s the short version, I’ll start transferring the entries over when he’s sleeping (we’re in the hospital right now). Happy Thanksgiving!
