You may have seen a video circulating the Internet a few weeks ago of a young woman getting laid off from Cloudflare. The people firing her were unable to give her a valid reason for why she was being let go and she didn’t hesitate to call them out on it. I’m sure this is a very common …
I imported the posts from my dad’s blog to this blog so I can delete his. It hurt more than I expected it would. I miss him so freaking much.

We are devastated to announce that last night while surrounded by his family, Michael passed away. Everyone who was lucky enough to know him will know how much he will be missed. We love you, Dad. 💔 Services will be announced as soon as possible. We are anticipating they will be held later next week …
After being sent home on Saturday, Dad returned to the hospital on Sunday night with another high fever and vomiting. The doctors are still stumped by what’s going on with his kidneys, but are pretty sure this latest episode is the result of a UTI. He is still in good spirits and loves showing …
Dad is back home from the hospital a day sooner than we hoped! He still has some recovering to do, but is very happy to be watching football from his couch instead of a hospital bed.
On Tuesday, Michael woke up with a fever of 102 degrees. After a trip to the ER and some bloodwork they determined that he was in severe kidney failure and would need to be admitted to the hospital. He is still in the hospital but is feeling much better and his kidneys appear to be improving. The …
Hi Everyone, We just wanted to give everyone the awesome news we received today! Michael is in remission! Well, as close as he will be ever be according to his doctor. What does this mean? This means chemo by pill form, every other week for 7 days. So no more bi-monthly hospital visits for infusion. …
Michael had a great report this week! No chemo for 3 weeks. He will have an MRI Monday just to check his “Brain Fog”. He’s going to get a PET CT on the 15th to take a look and see how things are looking in there. He also gained another pound! We are so grateful and pleased with …
✅ Round 6 - Mike gained 2 pounds and is feeling really good! He’s lost a little bit of hair but still looks great. He’s excited about a quick trip to Myrtle Beach next week with Kathy and Maverick.
Mike had his 5th chemo treatment this morning after a one week delay due to a low white blood count. Everything went well. He has even gained 8lbs in the past week! Kathy couldn’t get him full and I guess we now know why. 💖
We got some great news today. On Monday, Mike had a CT scan done and it was determined that his cancer is in partial remission! He’s obviously not out of the woods but the doctors are very happy with how things are going. We also don’t know how long this remission will last, it could be …
Not much to report since the last update. Mike had his third chemo treatment. They are now becoming routine. He feels pretty good the first two days then not so great for about a day. Overall, he is doing really well. He even mowed the grass on the same day he got chemo. Joanna helped bag the grass …
My mom won a trip to Savannah at work and since my dad is still not feeling great I went in his place. We had a really nice time!
Mike had a slight setback this week. On Sunday, he got up to go into another room and after taking a few steps he fainted. Jason and Elise came right over and called 911. He was reluctant to go the hospital but everyone agreed that was the best decision. Once he got to the ER the panic wore off and …
Joanna took Mike out for lunch this week for a bit of a change and took a sneaky photo of him. He’s never been a fan of his photo being taken for some reason.
Mike had another paracentesis today. They drained over 9 liters of fluid from his stomach this time. He looked like he was pregnant with twins 🤣
Family and Friends, I wanted to let everyone know that we got some devastating news a few weeks ago and have spent the last few weeks sorting out all the details. Test after test, Doctor appointment after Doctor appointment. Mike has been diagnosed with stage 4 Gastric Cancer. We are beginning his …
Mike had his second chemo session this morning and is feeling really good. They gave him some new medications to help with some other symptoms he is having. One is ironically the same as Joanna’s HRT. The last two weeks have been a bit up and down but he’s still in really good spirits and is super …
Pump is removed and he’s feeling good. No more tubes for a couple of weeks.
Michael’s first Chemo treatment today went very well. 4 hours. We will go back every 2 weeks on Wednesday’s. We’re home. He’s resting and watching the Cubs. A little tired, occasional nausea, little appetite, but overall seems to be okay. Keep those prayers and positive thoughts coming! We …

If you’ve been replying to me on here I apologize for not responding. I forgot my statuslog was getting cross-posted here and I’ve been spending most of my time on Mastodon. I’ll try to do better going forward.
