I think its safe to say we are all exhausted today. Last night they gave Mac a different med for nausea and it made him crazy! One second he was smiling and the next batting his hands in the air being super agitated. He was babbling and fussing past midnight before he finally fell asleep. Then at 4am the nurse came in and Mac woke up...

Mac finished his IV chemo treatments for this cycle! He had his IT chemo yesterday and it was a tiring day! He isn’t allowed to nurse for 4 hours before his spinal tap and IT chemo. The long story short is that they were running behind because of the snow and “Mac got bumped”. They ended up starting 2 hours later and Mac was...

So Mac’s arm is still big but it is getting smaller!!! The Dr said that when he first saw it he was ready to take a picture of it and put it in a textbook about what a clot looked like. He did say that it is possible that Mac’s body resolved the clot on its own, for now we are just monitoring it....

I wish I could say that today was easy and uneventful but it just wasn’t that kind of day. When Mac woke up I noticed that his left arm was huge. Now, my baby has some pretty sweet squishy arms but today there was a whole extra role in his forearm. As the morning went on it got bigger, bluer, and colder. I kept...

Today is considered day 5 of treatment! That is exciting because there are only 10 days of actually chemo administration in the first cycle. So its hump day you could say 🙂 When those 10 days are up, we wait for Mac’s WBC count to go back up before starting over again. Today was a wonderful day. Mac’s labs looked much better and he...

As you can imagine all of Mac’s treatment is very expensive. We set up a Wells Fargo account for donations. You can visit any Wells Fargo and ask to make a donation to the “Team Mac” account. If you are out of state, it may help to tell them that it was set up in Colorado. Right now we are able to see who...

I am feeling overwhelmed by the thought of catching you up on all that has happened in the last 4 days but here is the short of it: When we got here we went to the ER and they ran a lot of labs on him and concluded that he did indeed have leukemia. They transferred us up to the 7th floor which is the...

I am going to try this website as a place where all of our friends and family can get updates on Mac. I am just going to type whats on my mind and what I feel in my heart. We are so blessed to be Mac’s parents and love him to the moon and back. How we got here: I’ll try to make a long story...
