Last week of Chemo?

Well, heading into what we pray is Travis' last week of Chemo. We are still unsure of the future and if there will be maintenance doses, or Avastin doses, etc. But we hold onto what we know, Heavenly Father loves us and this is all part of the plan! Everyone is 0-0 now, Go Broncos!!

From Travis

4 AM and up with severe illness caused by the chemo. I've had a rough five hours. I'm not going to lie, I'm getting very tired with each passing day. And find it harder and harder to fight. Extra prayers would be more than welcome. Good vibes too. Which ever way you roll, DO IT!

He's sick

It's been a long time since posting, but I feel like a broken record updating on Travis. He's sick most the time, we expected this, but its still rough. It was hard to watch him have fewer and fewer good days until there was just days that were a little better then Chemo days, but not good. We are anxious to get through this and know the after plan and be done! We are so grateful for incredible family and friends who often help without us even asking and send encouraging messages or leave surprises! We are so blessed! He is obviously very excited for the game, he's been a faithful fan for so long!! Go Broncos and go Travis!!!

From Travis

Feeling content today. Perhaps it's the result of my wife consistently finding the positives in every situation. Or the support of my family members, ward members, and friends that lift me up. Perhaps it's other things like Denver finally winning a playoff game for goodness sake. Perhaps it's all the above and my belief in Christ. That's a safe bet I think.

I have a hard time sometimes seeing the positives in life. There is a lot of hate in the world, ya know what I mean? I mean about everything - people have to slander, put down, and belittle the most simple of things. Whether it's someones beliefs, or even their hobbies and tastes. But I know one thing for sure: I know good people. And if you are reading this I consider you one of them. And I'm thankful for you.

As always, GO BRONCOS!!!

From Travis

Got a personal message on Twitter from Benjamin Burnley of Breaking Benjamin telling me to keep him updated on my progress with all this. Just thought I'd share that bit of awesomeness with you. Made me happy.

Merry Christmas

Thank you Christmas helpers that made the last 12 nights so much fun for our family! As well as thank you to the many people who have sacrificed and helped my family this year, it has been very humbling, and the love we have felt has been overwhelming! We love you all, Merry Christmas!

Happy Thanksgiving

Oops. Forgot to update last week! Not much has changed though!! He gets sicker every round, he was able to eat some Turkey though!! We had an excellent Thanksgiving, my Mom made an amazing feast...Aiden friendly, she's the best!

Sunday Update

Sunday update! Travis has continued to be sick this last week (non-chemo week). He meets with GI this week, hoping to get some help

Half way through Chemo

A year and a week ago we found out Travis' fight with cancer was not over. Its been a long year!! As I was reflecting on the awful picc line, radiation, ostomy, surgeries, port, and chemo I was trying to decide which one was the worst part! I then realized how grateful I am for modern medicine and that Travs going to be fine! It's been a rough year on Trav and our family, but he's still fighting! After week 1 of chemo he was ready to quit cause it was so awful, now he's done 6/12 and its getting worse but he's pushing through it! I'm so proud of him and how hard he pushes himself! He's incredible and I love him so much!!

Half way there!

Hey everyone! This week marks the half way point for Trav! For us its exciting, for Trav its harder, its only half way, he has to do it all over again, but he's getting weaker. So, I was thinking of something I could do and wondered if we could get everyone to wear blue or orange(Go Broncos!), post a picture and tag Trav/post to his wall! Just as a way to show him we support and love him! If you aren't friends with him, tag me and ill tag him! I'm kind of late in asking, but it would be cool if we could do it tomorrow while he is at Chemo!
