Well it’s been a fun and comfortable last couple of days but I will discuss all that later tonight or tomorrow. For now I’m just going to use this post to ask for something from everyone.

Hopefully this post is a little more uplifting and happy, as it’s filled with all kinds of beautiful memories. 🙂

We were discharged on Wednesday, August 26th, just 4 days after he was born (5 days spent in the NICU) at 9pm. Long story short, we had to wait for him to be off the jaundice lights for 24 hours before discharge so we got discharged a Continue reading →

It’s been a LONG, LONG time coming but I’m finally jumping on to fill you all in on the past 3.5 weeks! I know Lindsay has given you some insight but I want to tag on to what she said and express my side as well!

So August 22nd was the longest, most unbelievable day of my life. To start things off, we went to Peoria on Thursday as a precaution, as Lindsay stat Continue reading →

As most of you know by now, our little miracle baby, Bentley (not Joey ;)), was born last Saturday, August 22nd! We had just made a plan a few weeks prior to be induced on August 30, but of course little man had a plan on his own.

Last round of chemo was super difficult on Lindsay both emotionally and mentally. She started feeling crappy earlier in the round and that kind of steamrolled into a rough mental stretch as well. As you’ve gathered by now, I’m sure, my mental state (and physical state in some ways) kind of ‘goes as she goes’, so to speak. I Continue reading →

I feel like it has been forever since either one of us has updated you all and so much has happened in the last couple of weeks.  Cody left off I believe on Tuesday of treatment week and unfortunately, the days to follow were some of the worst we’ve encountered yet.  Cody mentioned having to go in for a blood transfusion on Wednesday after chemo finished up and that went pretty quick and didn’t take any longer than we expected.  I will say that our experience at OSF here in town was MUCH better than either of our experiences over in Peoria 🙂  I had been feeling pr Continue reading →
