1 Year Anniversary of Travis’ Hospital Admittance! 3/4/2014
Since this is a very special time for us in terms of memorable 1 Year Anniversaries, we wanted to take a moment to highlight each one as they occurred. On Monday, March 4th, 2013, Travis was admitted to Rady Children’s Hospital in the evening for some tests to be run. He had a difficult weekend […]
UCSD Men’s Soccer End of Season Party! 2/22/2014
Sorry! It has been a while since our last post. With getting back to somewhat of a normal routine, besides all the appointments, medications and lab work, it is easy to forget that it is important to slow down and write some things down. In the midst of State Cup Soccer, Soccer Tryouts, School, Work, […]
This is What Getting Back to Normal is Like! 2/4/2014
Monday was a big day in our house and a big step towards getting back to a normal routine. Over the last couple of weeks, Lynne and Travis had been going over to school for an hour or two each day, when they didn’t have appointments, to start preparing for Travis to go back to […]

State Cup Soccer Weekend! 1/27/2014
What an exciting weekend of soccer at State Cup! After a disappointing 1-0 loss on Saturday against the TVSA Hawks, we weren’t sure how the boys would bounce back. The important thing was that we played some good soccer even though we couldn’t get the goals to go and had 1 bad break that we […]
Counts, Weight, Appetite and Energy are on the Rise! 1/21/2014
It is hard to believe that it has been almost 2 weeks since our last update but time has flown by for us. Travis had lab work done yesterday and his counts are rising closer to the “Normal” range and moving up from the “Chemo” range. Yeah! We know it can take some time for […]
A Little Divine Intervention! 1/8/2014
On Thursday, we had our appointment with the Neuro-Oncologist and had lab work done to check Travis’ counts. The good news is that most of his counts are stabilizing after the chemo and we did not need to do a transfusion. The White Blood Count is slowly rising but still has a ways to go […]
Happy New Year! 1/2/2014
Happy New Year everyone!!! It is hard to believe it is 2014 already but we are glad that we are putting 2013 in our rear view mirror. It has been a challenging yet amazing year in so many ways. We have faced so many obstacles, especially Travis, but we tried to take them one at […]
Merry Christmas! 12/25/2013
We want to wish you all a very Merry Christmas! As we sit here enjoying all that Christmas means and brings, we received another bit of good news on Christmas Eve that we are thankful for. On Monday, we went down to Rady’s to have Travis’ blood work checked and his quarterly MRI. It turned […]
Counts are Down so We are Hanging Around! 12/22/2013
On Friday, we were back down at Rady’s to have blood work done and Travis’ counts have dropped from Tuesday. So, we have to keep a low profile this weekend and try to get through this final dip without getting sick. We were planning to go to the San Diego Sockers game (professional arena soccer) […]
