Ready or Not? 4/4/2013
Wow! Where did the time go? The last couple of days have been busy trying to get ready for Lynne and Travis to be in Houston for 7 weeks. Lynne has Tyler and I all stocked up while she will be gone. Maybe she thinks we don’t know where the stores are. We did manage […]
Houston Contacts and MD Anderson Links 4/3/2013
In talking about our situation and word spreading, we have been very fortunate in that so many people have shared their stories and/or personal experiences with us. We have also been blessed with some people having very close contacts in Houston and they have been great sources of information for us. As it turns out, […]
Knock, Knock – Bake Sale (Not April Fool’s) 4/1/2013
Knock, Knock, its Abbie, Emily and Courtney (Debbie and Heather too)! Apparently the girls decided they were going to do a cookie bake sale to help Travis with his travel to Houston or at least to help cover his McFlurries while we are there. No, this is not an April Fool’s joke…this is real! So, […]
Happy Easter! 3/31/2013
Happy Easter from the Selinka family! We made it to the 9:30am Easter Mass and although it was crowded, it meant so much for us to be there. We were invited to bring up the Gifts which was very special for us on this special day. We stopped by to see our friends, Shannon and […]
Good Friday and Friday Night Lights 3/29/2013
Good Friday was the last day of school before spring break and was the last day of school for Travis until the end of May. Mrs. Roberts has been so great about keeping him up to speed and preparing work for him to do while he is out in Houston. So, even though he won’t […]
ECC Garden Planting and Aunt Karen Arrived Today 3/28/2013
Sarah arranged to have a tree dedicated at school in honor of Travis. The class also decided to plant some cantaloupe in the school garden for our little gardener. All of the kids in Mrs. Roberts’ class created “Wish Sticks” where they made wishes for Travis and planted them in the garden too. Wow! Thanks […]
Stitches are Out and Soccer Practice 3/27/2013
This morning we had our appointment to have Travis’ stiches removed and will be the last time we see the neuro-surgeons for several months. Nothing personal Dr. Levy and Dr. Sack but that is a good thing! Travis (and Lynne) went to school again today for more than 3 hours. Lynne has been staying with […]
Fish Printing Art Lesson and Sam’s School Visit 3/26/2013
Lynne helps with the Arts Attack program at school and Mrs. Roberts wanted to do a Fish Printing project with the class. This was originally scheduled for a couple of weeks ago but was switched since we were in the hospital and Travis wanted to participate. Basically this involves taking a real fish (not live, […]
All Forms of Communication are Welcome! 3/26/2013
We wanted to let everyone know that we welcome and appreciate any and all forms of communication (phone calls, emails, texts, visits)! We have heard from friends and family that they may not be sure what is the best way to reach out or when it would be the right time to contact us. But […]
Doctor’s Appointment 3/25/2013

Based on the test results of the tumor pathology, spinal fluid and further evaluation of the spinal MRI, Dr. Crawford is proposing a more aggressive treatment plan that he will discuss with […]
