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 […]
Counts are Down so Battle On! 10/14/2013
Let’s face it, there is nothing like a 9 hour day at the hospital to make you feel more like it’s good to be home. After leaving the house around 7:30am for what was supposed to be routine lab work and not to return until after 6:00pm, you know you are on hospital time. We […]
If Shoes Could Talk, the Stories They’d Tell! 10/11/2013
Some of you may be aware that Lynne has been working on a special project for Bethlehem Preschool over these last couple of months. When we found out back in June that she would not be available to teach in the fall in order to take care of Travis during his chemo treatments, she discussed […]
Round 4 is Out the Door…Only 2 More! 10/8/2013
Travis came home last night and we all slept great in our own beds! With Round 4 out the door and only 2 more, we are now officially 2/3 of the way done with chemo. Yeah! As we mentioned, on Thursday evening, Travis went to soccer practice and stayed the whole time with the team. […]
No Go for the Miramar Airshow! 10/3/2013
Well, the government shutdown has affected us here in San Diego too and the Miramar Airshow was cancelled including the pre-show that we were invited to see today. What a bummer! The funny thing is that despite the fact that the airshow actually makes millions of dollars for the military every year, it was decided […]
October and Counts Are Good! 10/2/2013
It’s October already…really? Travis had his counts checked on Monday at 7:15am so that he could go to school this week and we are all good. Yeah! We are not sure why they dipped last Thursday but keep hearing that can happen with chemo. We really wanted Travis to be able to spend this week […]
Travis The Warrior Website is Online! 9/29/2013
Care Calendar has been a great resource for us both in terms of support with meals and also for posting our updates so people can follow our journey. But, we have had the idea of setting up a website for many months so that the forum can be more customized and interactive. Well, we finally […]

Both Cheyanne and Kathy will be doing the 2 Day 40 mile walk while Shannon and her family (Jonathon, Spenser, Reed and Collyn) will be doing the 5K walk. Tyler is going […]
Round 4 of Chemo is Delayed! 9/26/2013
We had a fun weekend of soccer and we were preparing this week to start Round 4 of chemo on Friday. But, at the pre-check-in appointment, it turned out that Travis’ counts were too low to start chemo so we have to delay everything by a week. It is kind of a bummer since once […]
Busy, Busy, Busy! 9/19/2013
It has been a couple of weeks since our last update but we have been trying to pack as much in as possible while Travis is feeling good (relatively speaking). As we mentioned in the last update, Travis did so well through the last chemo round and we were able to go home early without […]
