Round 4 of AML treatment for our child came with more days in the hospital than expected. A family suffers a loss at the hospital and it was devastating. Mowing dirt is an analogy for how the chemo works and is a great example.

We got to go home for 2 full weeks and that meant spending Christmas in the hospital for round 4.

In this episode we discuss how residents schedule a test too soon and cause concern for Momma Bear as well as a nurse trying to play doctor and creating a stressful situation that wasn't needed.

In this episode we discuss advocating for Ayden to be able to leave the room after he's been on "room arrest" with chemo side effects and dealing with a uncooperative nurse when it came to that. We have a story on how the "momma bear" would come out from Kim when it came to those situations and how that "energy" takes it's toll on your marriage. This episode s...

We tell what round 2 of AML treatment was like. There is a "vicious cycle" that makes treating a side effect nearly impossible, a discussion about health coverage in America while living in a hospital trying to care for your child, our community coming together to support our family and young boys discussing catheters and cancer.

We have not been telling everything and struggle with how to address some details. We need to come to an agreement and we are doing that with and for you.

This episode continues the stories that we can look back on and find humor now that they are over. The Biohazard story may seem embarrassing but we are telling all... the good, the bad and the ugly.

We describe the amazing resources and people that are available at the children's hospital. We tell stories and advice for finding them and using them.

On this episode we tell the stories of dealing with the hair loss and what it's really like. That is expected but we have an unexpected side effect that shows up in the middle of the night and freaks us all out. This episode mentions blood a lot - so trigger warning but we are keeping it real. The final story is a funny annoyance that is funny to Carlos but not to Kim. Thanks for watching! Pea...

In this episode we tell how trusting our gut probably saved our son's life, how a misdiagnosis was a relief and how right when we thought we had hope for some normalcy... thibgs go south.

Video Podcast Channel: We get some lab results that point at our hypothesis possibly having promise. Unfortunately, we were the only ones to feel excited by this and that was disappointing but we persisted anyway, like we always do.
