Fighting For All.

September is Blood Cancer month.  It saddens me a bit to have to acknowledge such a thing.
Wishing so many weren't effected by cancer. Honoring this month is more than the hard memories.  It's the journey and people we've met along the way.  From Jonathon (Rest In Peace honey), to Alex (so proud of your strength Ally), to all the nurses (Sara Irons, kick ass nurse with THEE BIGGEST heart in all the nursing land), to Jenny (almost 2 months post transplant, and super exhausted and in the fight, but kicking butt, and I'm so proud of you girl!--She asked me if it's normal to be so sleepy and out of it, and I just have to keep reminding her she's a newborn with no immune system) 

Rest In Peace Jon...You were such a fighter

Kris is fighting the fight every day post transplant.  Something that looks better on the outside is a fight every day, and like last night, all night.  That guy does not sleep.  He's up all night with stomach issues.  

Watching some lose the fight, when I have the chance to talk to Kris every day.  

Some do not get the chance.  

 First week after diagnosis 2015- Super duper stoned on Rick Simpson oils (the one and only thing that allowed him peace and an appetite)

Weeks before we jumped into the battle. That cross around Maria's neck. 

 4 weeks in at Kaiser.  Sweetest nurse.... 2015-  First time he felt sunshine in 4 weeks.  

Walking into City Of Hope with my warrior bag for the fight!  And FIGHT we did!

Piranha, here's your marrow! YOU LIFE SAVER!!!  #GERMANROOTS 

A week before coming home! 

First weeks home after transplant February 2016-  Hannah on his lap - Swoon....

I hope you all remember to count your blessings.  This life is fast.  It's hard. So so hard.  So when you're feeling sorry for yourself, remember the ones in this fight.  The ones that get up every single day and go to work even when they don't feel good.  Remember the mom that doesn't get to say hello or goodnight to her son because of this horrible disease.  

Let the petty stuff go....(hard for me, trust me....)

And just keep on swimming.  

Today is my 23rd  Anniversary at Gaylord's

Here I am 2 years in.  

You go girl. 

 All my love,

This Lisa Lynn
