Feeling blessed

Travis had a follow-up this week, and they did not find any cancer in any lymph nodes as well as in his colon. Looks like his pre-surgery treatment worked great! He is still recovering from surgery, but making improvements! Still learning how to deal with an ileostomy, we are getting better and making mistakes still too! Need to wait a few more weeks before the next surgery! Kids are doing great, thanks to Michelle stepping in and taking care of them so much! Thanks to Rick and Michelle for taking him to his appointments as well!
I start a new job on the 29th at the Layton DI as the Admin Assistant. I'm very excited for my new opportunity, as well as sad to leave my friends and my current job.
— feeling blessed.

From Travis

I am writing this message from bed during one of my momentary periods of consciousness. I want to say thank you for all the prayers and support. All the pain and suffering and pure burdens of my life combined don't seem to compare to last week and a half(or few months). Not going to lie, its harder than I thought it would be. But I have felt a strength surround me and I know it has been all of your support. I will keep up this fight! And with the army I have had behind me I know I cannot lose.
A very special thank you to my wife, best friend, my most trusted supporter, and my true angel, Stacy. You were the first reason I smiled waking up after surgery and you will be the last reason I ever smile when that day comes many years from now; with a billion smiles in between.

Day 2 at the ER

Day 2 at the ER with Travis, he finally is looking and acting like himself again. Poor guy was severely dehydrated. Thank goodness for Mark and Jeannie yesterday and Michelle today for taking care of our kids!!!

He's home

I got to bring Travis home today! Thanks to everyone for all the support! He's doing pretty good, still has a ways to go to get past the pain, but he's home!

1 step back

Travis is still in the hospital. He got put back on a liquid diet and they gave him his iv back today, which is a step backward. The goal is to leave tomorrow, hope he turns the corner enough to do so. Feel bad for all that he has to go through, but also proud of him! He's fighting! We sure appreciate the texts and messages of support! Also appreciate my parents for clearing their schedules to be so available to take care of the kids!

Grateful for help!

I have the best Mommy and Daddy! Its been so nice to focus my energy on Travis knowing my parents are taking care of the kids! Plus, I get awesome meals when I stop by to see the kids! The trick may be convincing the kids to move back home!!

Surgery Day

Travis is in surgery right now! He told me everything was going to be okay before he went in! I love him so much!

Travis is out of Surgery!! Everything went good! I can't wait to see him!

Well I'm with Travis now, amazing the strength he gives me just by seeing him! He's in a ton of pain, but trying to get some sleep. Keep the prayers coming!

Before I left Travis his pain was down to a 5, they kept increasing the dosage of his meds! He's amazing, even with his pain he's putting a smile on everyone's face! I sure love that man!!

From Travis

Well everyone, this will be my last time on here before the surgery tomorrow. For those of you I know well now or have known well in the past just wanted to tell you...
GO BRONCOS!!
For everyone else: GO BRONCOS!

Wish me luck. This is gonna hurt.
