We were able to attend our Faith & Works Meeting this afternoon with Travis!  This was a huge positive for us since our F&W families are an extended part of our family and they have been such an important part of our lives. Since so much in our future is unknown and out of our […]

Travis was feeling good today and he insisted on mommy taking him to Barnes and Noble so that he could pick out a few books to read.  So, while Tyler and I were out doing some yard work, Travis and Lynne headed over to B&N for a little shopping spree.  We called it physical therapy […]

Mrs. Roberts’ Class,   We wanted to thank the class and especially Sarah Givens and Deanna Archer for putting together such a wonderful “basket” (or storage bin) for Travis. 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 […]

We were leaving the hospital in the afternoon to go home. Travis mentioned that since he had so many balloons, he wanted to leave some for the next person who would be coming out of surgery and would be staying in his room. He picked some of the ones that represented everything he liked. We […]

Travis’ school, El Camino Creek, had their annual Jog-A-Thon today. All of the students in Mrs. Roberts Class dedicated their laps to Travis.  They made a sign that said “Run for Travis, Your Laps Will Help Him Fight”.  Sarah Givens brought the sign and another one that said “Welcome Home Travis” and hung them on […]

Travis had a good day eating a lot and Tyler came to visit.  The teachers at Lynne’s Preschool (Bethlehem), made a basket full of all of Travis’ favorite things.  There was gardening items, drawing pencils, paint sets, art paper, activity books and puzzle books.  Totally awesome! Travis has been doing physical therapy the last few […]

The goal for Tuesday was to keep Travis eating, drinking and getting out of bed as much as possible so that he can continue building his strength.  He was alert and feeling good most of the day.  He started out eating pieces of a blueberry muffin, PB&J and washing it all down with chocolate milk.  […]

The goal for Monday was to get Travis eating, drinking and out of bed a few times so that he can start getting his strength back.  We went for a ride in the wheel chair around the hospital in the morning and again in the afternoon.  Throughout the day, he nibbled on a pretzel and […]

Travis’ first day after surgery went pretty well.  It took a little time to get the pain medications dialed in overnight but after that, Friday was a restful day.  They ended up taking him down around noon to do the post-surgery MRI.  He did amazing going through that so soon!  The results from the MRI […]
