This is the story of his battle. We share this in the hopes that some day he will read it and know how much he is loved and understand the journey that he has taken. I invite you to leave any comments or thoughts that you might have to show love and support to Austin.

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">This month to draw Austin's labs I took him to the Peds floor so Michael and Jason could show him that a PIV wasn't so scary. Michael distracted Austin with the iPad while Jason drew the blood. It worked very well despite Austin's lack of enthusiasm. From now on we will just go to the lab to have Austin's CBC drawn. We will miss Michael and Jason but I won't miss the all day marathon doctors appointments every month.</span></div>

I noticed back before Austin was diagnosed that always walks on his toes. So I decided to take him to a Physical Therapist to see what can be done. I'm worried that surgery will be the ultimate answer but first I want to try everything else. The therapist measured Austin's stretch in his feet and legs and gave him some exercises to try. Austin just likes the ball pit.</div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Our second trip for the week was to take Austin and Madison to Camp Hobe. They have been looking forward to going back after having so much fun last year. It's a very fun, busy week and they love it. I missed them like crazy but it was much easier to drop them off this year. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">June's clinic visit was the first of three trips to Salt Lake in one week. Austin and I made this trip by ourselves. This time they couldn't get Austin's port to work at all so a peripheral IV was placed in his hand. Austin hated it but we didn't have much of a choice. We have finally had enough of the dumb port so the plan will be to remove it in August during his next visit. Between now and then I get the chore of convincing Austin that periphreal IV's are not all that bad. Yeah right, wish me luck.</span></div>

</div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #141823; line-height: 19px; text-align: left;">August 28, 2012 was the last day that I made egg rolls for dinner. It was also the night that we found out something was very wrong with Austin's health. I was making the egg rolls as I answered the phone from our Pediatrician and was told to drive Austin to Primary Children's right away. I don't remember turning off the fryer, I don't remember cleaning up the mess. I do know that those egg rolls were not eaten that night. Instead, I rushed around the house packing as fast</span><span class="text_exposed_show" style="background-color: white; color: #141823; display: inline; line-height: 19px; text-align: left;"> as I could with so much fear in my heart. All of these memories came flooding back tonight as I was making egg rolls on a very different night. On this night my little family was gathered around the table with smiles and the happy noise of children instead of tears and fear. I'm so grateful that Austin is doing well with his treatment. As silly as it is, I think egg rolls will always hold a special place in my heart.</span></span><br />

This month's checkup came and went without event. Austin feels good and hasn't been sick. I want to talk a little about the exhaustion that has set in. This marathon of a treatment plan is 3 1/2 years long. We are a few months to the 2 year mark. There are some days that I think it will never end. Austin is so tired of the frequent doctor's visits, the pills he takes every night, the painful pokes, the nausea and vomiting and general crappy feelings that come with chemo. As his parents, we are so tired of seeing him suffer, of being the "bad guys" that make him go through it all. I feel so guilty every time I drive him to his appointments to get tortured. I know it's not my fault but I feel so responsible and I somehow feel like a failure that I can't take it all away and make it better. The constant worrying and sleepless nights take a heavy toll on me. I sometimes lose sight of the big picture, I forget to count our blessings and appreciate how good Austin is doing. Sometimes, an extended pity party sounds great. Austin rarely complains. He takes his pills every night without a blink. He usually lets out a long sigh when I tell him we have to go to the doctors again but he doesn't whine. He is so brave and manages to keep his sense of humor intact through it all. But sometimes, every now and then, I see this look on his face and I know he feels the exhaustion too. </div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">It was only a month since the last visit and poke but we made the trip to Primary's again. Once again the port wouldn't work without TPA. We are really getting tired of it because it adds hours of waiting around for the TPA to work so they can draw blood. Finally they were successful so we headed to the RTU for Austin's lumbar puncture. Because the last time was so difficult they wanted to have Austin go back to the RTU where they can use heavier sedation. Austin was not at all happy about this because he hates waking up in the recovery room. Mom and Dad hate it because it takes so much longer and makes Austin more sick. The LP was successful so we headed out. We went to lunch and Austin seemed to feel fine and eat without a problem but as soon as he finished he had to run to the bathroom to throw up. He came back and said, "ok I'm ready for desert!" I told him he acts like a pregnant woman. He was not amused.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Austin's chemo dose was increased last month so as a result his hair has been falling out again. He won't be totally bald like before but he has some bald spots. I really resisted shaving the rest off until Austin started complaining about being itchy from the hair all over him. So I gave in and shaved the rest off. It makes me so sad to see him bald again because it's a constant reminder of the battle that he is fighting. Fortunately, Austin always finds the silver lining and his response to my sadness was: "Well look how easy it is to comb my hair now!" You win Buddy, you win.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Our March trip to Primary's didn't go as we hoped. Once again we had to use TPA to get his port to draw back blood. So frustrating. When it came time for Austin's lumbar puncture they were unable to get the needle in the right place. They poked his back 4 times without success. It may be because he has gained some weight, because they couldn't position him right, or it may have just been bad luck. Whatever the case, we have to come back back again in a month. I was beyond frustrated with the whole trip. Poor Austin was so bruised and then not happy about another poke so soon. He is resilient though and I think his bruises on his back with heal faster than the ones on my heart. His smile continues through the pain, ever the warrior that he is.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Austin rang in the new year with a week of steroids. I have to remind myself over and over that he can't help how nasty he becomes because oh my goodness....it's not fun. Thankfully it's only every 3 months now. Austin's January checkup went well and we were able to access his port without TPA this time. Hooray!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">2 days after Christmas we made the trip again to Salt Lake for Austin's appointment at Primary's. It was a fairly routine clinic visit except that once again we had to us TPA to get Austin's port to draw back blood. It's so frustrating because it means extra time waiting around. We were told we will have to see how the port continues to function but that it is an option to remove the port and just start a regular peripheral IV each time Austin needs Chemo. This isn't ideal because the chemo is very caustic on veins, but it would eliminate the worry about a central line infection. We will see.. Austin wasn't thrilled about the idea of starting an IV each time and I don't want to ruin all his veins with Chemo. So we will keep that in our back pockets and wait and see.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Austin got his Lumbar Puncture and Chemo and we made our way home. Austin has completed 3 rounds of maintenance and has 8 left. So far to go...but he has become accustomed to this new "normal". Other than these appointments that interrupt our routine and the daily pills he takes, for the most part we are not bothered too much by the big "C". It lurks in the background, especially in my mind but we are taking one day at a time. Austin is healthy right now and for that I am very grateful.</span>Amy Greenhalghhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18398403506524243835noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2984354720979001886.post-2123605452347301172013-12-25T22:15:00.000-07:002014-01-29T22:15:19.763-07:00Merry Christmas 2013!<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Another checkup with Dr. Marsden. Austin is doing well and feeling good. No illness to report. Unfortunately, the home health once again was not able to get Austin's port to draw back blood. So after the checkup we headed to the Peds floor for TPA. Dumb port. I hate it when it doesn't work right. I know this is "norma", but I still worry and worry about what it's doing inside his body. I hate that it is so close to his heart. After about an hour of TPA, the nurse was able to get blood. The labs were sent off and we went home.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Austin has been complaining for awhile that he couldn't see well far away so we visited the Opthomologist. Sure enough he needed glasses. Not surprising really since both his parents are practically blind. I think he looks very handsome and very grown up in his new glasses.</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">How do you describe the most amazing trip? When your child is diagnosed with Cancer your world is turned completely upside down. Your child's days consist of pain and tears, sickness and fear. As the parent you spend countless nights worrying instead of sleeping. You watch your child forced to grow up too fast as they are confronted day after day with things that they shouldn't even know about. When the opportunity comes to step away from all of this, to allow your child to leave the pain behind and just be a kid for a little while, well, it's hard to describe how amazing that gift is. Make a Wish gave us just such a gift. The ability to leave behind the world of Cancer and allow my little boy to just be a kid. To ride roller coasters and see Mickey Mouse, build sand castles on the beach, and pretend he is Harry Potter. Not once in 10 days did he have to be poked or examined or throw up from poison injected into his body. As his family we were able relax and build memories that will last a life time. As Austin's parents, we were able to see pure joy and take a break from all the stress of his treatment. The memories made during this week will help us face the tough road ahead as we face 2 more years of treatment.</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">We stayed at Give Kids the World Village. It is a very special place only for Wish kids and their families. The atmosphere of this place is incredible. It is entirely run by volunteers and that translates into a very special spirit of love and hope. We had as much fun in the Village as at the parks and made sure we returned early each night to enjoy all of the activities.</span></div>

Make a Wish gave us three days at Walt Disney World, two days at Universal Studios, and one day at Sea World. Kevin made us matching shirts to wear at each of the parks. My Mom joined us for 4 of the days and it was so fun to have her with us. She has been our biggest supporter through Austin's treatment so it was only fitting that she get to enjoy in Austin's wish. We didn't get her onto any roller coasters but she was happy to watch Jaxon for us so the rest of us could go on the big rides. Thanks Mom, we love you!</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">We were so spoiled at each of the parks. They really treat Wish kids and their families like royalty. We never had to wait in line, we got right in to restaurants, shows, and meet and greets with characters. They gave us free pictures and food. We decided that we will never be able to go back because any other trip wouldn't be the same. Being treated as VIP's is pretty darn fun!</span><br />

We extended our trip with three days at Cocoa Beach. This was my favorite part of the trip. We sat on the beach and the kids made sand castles and played in the waves. The water was warm and beautiful. </span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">After 10 wonderful days we had to return to reality. I cannot express in words the immense gratitude that I have to all of those that made our trip possible. To all of those that donated money to Make A Wish, to our amazing wish grantors that put everything together and made Austin so excited, to those that volunteer at Give Kids the World, to the Ihop waitress that gave us our meal for free, and the kind woman at the airport that gave us money and told us to buy the kids some ice cream; to all of these and so many more we say thank you. Thank you for reaching out and helping a little boy and his family experience the most amazing 10 days of our lives.</span>Amy Greenhalghhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18398403506524243835noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2984354720979001886.post-14892243778799596132013-10-04T21:12:00.000-06:002013-11-07T21:18:09.742-07:00Another Back Poke<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Austin and I made another trip to Primary's for Austin's Lumbar Puncture and Chemo. Kevin wasn't feeling well so he stayed home with the dogs. It was an uneventful visit which is always a good thing. Austin's ANC was 1300 so we are cleared to go on his Make a Wish trip. </div>

</div>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Austin has been so excited to hear about his wish being granted from Make a Wish. Austin made his wish several months ago to go to Walt Disney World. His "wish grantors" came over to our house and helped Austin make it official. Since then they have been leaving little goodies on our front porch about once a week "teasing" Austin without telling him if he really got his wish. At the same time, Make a Wish called me and asked if they could use Austin's picture for their campaign with Lin's Market here in St. George. When one of our friends let us know they saw Austin's picture at Lin's, we had to go check it out.</span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Austin was surprised and amazed at the huge number of stars on the wall spelling out his name and hanging from the ceiling, each one representing someone that donated money to Make a Wish. Austin had his picture taken with the manager of the store and was treated like a celebrity. It was so fun! The employees were excited to meet Austin and put a real kid with the posters and the story.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Finally after weeks of teasing Austin, his wish grantors, Heather and her son, Colby came to our house and sent Austin on a scavenger hunt to get his wish granted. They didn't know it, but this was one of the best ways they could have announced this to Austin because he loves puzzles and treasure hunts. So off we went on the hunt, stopping at 3 different places until we ended up at Lin's market for the big party. </span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Time again for Austin's monthly blood draw and checkup with our Pediatrician. Usually no big deal. This time when the home health nurse came to draw Austin's blood, she couldn't get his port to draw back. She poked him twice, much to Austin's anguish. Poor kid just hates it. He consents to the first poke but the second one is more pain mixed with stress and fear as well. When the nurse still couldn't get the port to work we headed to Dr. Marsden's office for his checkup. That went well so we headed over to the Pediatric floor to figure out the problem with his port. </span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Our favorite nurse, Jason, poked the very bruised port site but once again no blood. So bring on the big guns. TPA or Activase is a drug used to dissolve blood clots in central lines. The idea is to inject the drug just into the port and let it break down the clot. So you put it in and wait...and in our case... wait...and wait. </span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">In honor of Austin's one year anniversary of fighting Leukemia as well as to recognize September as National Childhood Cancer Awareness Month, we teamed up with the Red Cross for a blood drive. One of my co-workers, Lisa, helped coordinate with the Red Cross and we advertised in the hospital where Kevin and I work. Several of my co-workers also volunteered to help out. We couldn't have pulled this off without all these wonderful people and I can't thank them enough for their support.</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Today marks the one year mark of Austin's Leukemia treatment. On this day one year ago we were sitting in the Oncology clinic being overwhelmed by what we were being told. No parent should ever hear those words: "Your child has Cancer". The last 12 months have been full of ups and downs, joy and sorrow, lots of pain and stress and tears. A few ramblings about what I have learned in the last year:</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">1. <span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: white;">I hate Cancer!!!!</span> Nothing scares me as much as wondering if all of this torture will in the end be powerless to stop the Cancer from returning and killing my boy. I have lost hours of sleep in the last year worrying and worrying. I hate that Cancer has done this to us.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">2. <span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: white;">All you need is love.</span> I have been amazed at how many people care about my sweet boy. Whether it's by donating money, cleaning our home, bringing us meals, or just big hugs and well wishes, so many people have helped us out in the last year. I wish I could thank everyone individually but will leave it with a huge, heartfelt thank you. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">3. <span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: white;">No matter how bad things get, it could always be worse.</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: red;"> </span> Joining this crazy cancer world, my eyes were opened to all the different kinds of Pediatric Cancers. So many of them are much much worse than what Austin is going through. I am so grateful that he "only" has Leukemia. It's all about perspective.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">4. <span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: white;">Being a parent is hard. </span> The hardest thing I have had to do in my life is watch Austin be sick or in pain or be poked while I am powerless to stop it. I dread giving him his pills as much as he hates taking them because I know they are slowly poisoning his body. I feel immense guilt when he is throwing up or in pain. No parent should ever have to watch their child suffer.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">5. <span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: white;">I am not in control. </span> This is probably the hardest lesson to learn. It brings sheer panic as it dawns on you that nothing you can do will change the circumstances, that you are powerless. Ultimately learning this lesson can bring incredible peace because if you can accept that you are not in control, you can then accept that God IS in control. This is a daily lesson for me as I try and try to demand that I AM or at least should be in control. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">6. <span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: white;">Humility is a tough pill to swallow.</span> I have always had a hard time accepting help from others. I am used to being the strong one, the one that others look to. Admitting that I need to accept help from others is very humbling.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">7. <span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: white;">I am not superwoman...and that is ok.</span> Sometimes the house doesn't get clean, the laundry piles up, I can't work extra hours at work, a church calling is put on hold...in fact some days the only thing that I have to show for the day is that the kids were fed (even if Mcdonalds did the cooking). Some days I can't muster much more than survival but that's ok.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

I am grateful for doctors that listen when I say something just isn't right or are open to doing things my way. I admit to hours of on-line research and obsessing over ways to make things easier for Austin. After all there isn't an Oncologist on the planet that cares about my boy more than me.</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">One morning out of the blue, Austin's feet started bothering him. The skin on his toes and balls of his feet are sloughing off creating red, angry wounds. In addition, the cuticles around his toes are sloughing off and becoming infected. To top it off, he has a nasty, painful rash on his hands. I have been really worried because its a great way to get a nasty infection. He was started on an oral antibiotic (Keflex) and we checked his counts again. His ANC was only 800 and Platelets 142 so the Oncologist decided to hold his oral Chemo for two weeks and recheck his counts then. I went to the wound clinic at the hospital where I work and they gave me some special foam to put on his feet and some bandages to cover it up. When I got done wrapping his toes he was left with two colorful ice cream cone feet. It didn't do much to help his feet heal, but it was funny and entertaining to take pictures of my handiwork. He probably thinks his Mom has lost her mind. </span></div>
