Round 5 Mission is a Go! 11/11/2013
Happy Veteran’s Day and THANKS to all who have served our country! We had Travis’s blood counts checked today at the lab and he is OK to begin Round 5 of Chemo starting tomorrow. The ANC has to be above 1000 and we barely cleared the bar at 1005. So, we are going to get […]
Team Curiosity = Champions! 11/10/2013
Congratulations to Team Curiosity for their impressive win at Saturday’s First Lego League (FLL) Qualifying Tournament where they faced off against some of the brightest kids/teams in San Diego County. Tyler joined the team with Blake, Blas and Klaus to compete this fall and they are being coached by Klaus’ mom, Liana. The theme for […]
It’s Like Déjà Vu! 11/7/2013
It’s like Déjà Vu all over again with Travis’ counts still low so Chemo will not start on Friday. However this time, they are on the way back up so we are hopeful we will be cleared on Monday for a Tuesday start. It may not seem like a big deal to start a few […]
Counts are Still Low so Chemo is a No Go…For Now! 11/5/2013
We had our appointment yesterday to have lab work done and see if Travis’ counts came back up yet. But wouldn’t you know, they actually went down a little further from last Friday. So, no chemo will start today and we will have to check again on Thursday for a possible Friday start. Apparently there […]
Round 5 of Chemo is Delayed! 11/1/2013
Happy Halloween! We are not sure if it is a Trick or a Treat but Travis’ counts were too low yesterday to start Round 5 of chemo today. It is kind of a bummer because once you get all geared up to start and plans in place to cover the weekend, it is a little […]

Travis the Warrior 5K Walk! 10/28/2013
We want to THANK our cousin, Jeannette, and the entire Wagner family (Bill, Sierra, Paige, and Ashley) for hosting their “Travis the Warrior 5K Walk” in Iowa this past Saturday morning! It is incredible that everyone braved the brisk Iowa Fall morning to come out and support Travis. Words just don’t seem to express what […]
It’s Been a Good Week! 10/25/2013
Travis’ school is on their two week Fall Break now and you would think that would mean some R &R (rest and relaxation), right? Well, that is partly true! We had his lab appointment on Monday and everything looked good so we are out of quarantine and ready to go. Then on Tuesday, Travis slept […]
Good to Go! 10/21/2013
With Travis feeling pretty good this weekend, we were able to make it out to our soccer game on Saturday. The boys lost a close one in the last few minutes 1-0 but it was great to have Travis out there. Then on Sunday, we made it to church in the morning and had our […]
Amazing What a Little Blood Does for You! 10/18/2013
Now after 3 blood transfusions, we understand why Dracula is hooked on the red stuff. OK, not really! But we can see that a little bit of blood makes all the difference. It is amazing how if you don’t have the proper level of red blood cells carrying oxygen through your body, you can feel […]
