Travis had his appointment to have his porta-cath installed today.  Our 10:30am appointment was changed to a 7:30am procedure and meant we had to be there at 5:30am which in turn meant a 3:30am wakeup call.  The actual procedure to install the port was about 45 minutes and Travis was so brave as he walked […]

Today was Mission Building day at school and Travis had set a goal of being there to help his project team.  He was there more than 3 hours and had a great time working with his classmates.  Sarah was working with Travis’ group and commented that he really enjoyed himself and seemed to forget about […]

Travis had a McFlurry special delivery today from Kono, Aiden and Grant H.  How did they know?  It may seem like Travis has been having a lot of McFlurries lately, which he has, but we are just following the doctor’s orders.  We have been told that Travis is on a “see food” diet…if he sees […]

Everything went very well today with our appointment for the lumbar puncture to draw spinal fluid. Travis’ words were, “It wasn’t as bad as I thought”. Always glad to hear that. Travis couldn’t have anything solid after 5:00 am, so he asked me to wake him at 4:00 am for a snack. I did. The […]

Travis said: “is all of this for me?”   Mrs. Roberts, could you please read this to the class and show them the picture too if […]

Hi Everyone,   We wanted to let you know that Travis came home this evening so we are all hoping for a good night of sleep for the first time in 10 days. He had some good days and was able to eat Oreo McFlurries from McDonalds any time he wanted (doctor’s orders).  The Castiglione’s […]
