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 […]

Congratulations to the First to Fight Softball Team, made up mainly of Marines and Sailors from San Diego, for winning the ASA Sin City Class “D” World Series Championship in Las Vegas!

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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
