God Has Opened a Door

When Tillery was first diagnosed with a brain tumor, the hospital "accidentally" discharged us to go home and by them doing that, it gave us the opportunity to seek a better hospital to care for our child. We have often looked back at that "accident" and have seen it as God's hand guiding us from the very beginning. If you will sit tight with me for a bit, I'd love to share how God has been with us since the beginning of this new growth time.  On July 27th, an MRI, which was to be Tillery's last biannual scan, showed new tumor growth and Tillery's team recommended sending a sample of her ..read more

Back in Cincinnati - MRI time again
Tillery is Loved!

It's been awhile since a trip to Cincinnati felt so heavy.  Last week, we posted our crazy previous 2 weeks and our plan moving forward. Then, over this past week, we continued to search for peace in that decision. Ultimately, we decided we needed to have more review of Tillery's chart. We are having her records sent for review by St. Jude and Dana Farber. Today's MRI will tell us if there has been growth over the past 7 weeks and how much growth. This will let us know if we can wait for those reviews before we start treatment or if we need to start chemo this week. We should receive the ..read more

It's been a few years since we've needed to write anything on Tillery's blog about her own medical care. Not gonna lie...I'd be okay to never have to do it again. But here we are... Here's a timeline of the past 6 weeks:  (This is gonna be long so if you'd like, skip to the end for the plan.) Monday, July 27 - Tillery had an MRI at Cincinnati Children's that showed new growth. For Tillery growth happened in 2 ways. She has actual growth of the tumor size around the perimeter but also, in 2017 her tumor was hollowed out in the OR and that space has also filled in. This means that Tillery ..read more

Why We Go the Extra Mile

Mom Confession: I don’t like looking at baby pictures of my daughter. Let me explain. See, when you look back at your cute, chubby cheeked kiddos, you remember the slobbery kisses and all the sweet firsts (first laugh, first food, first steps). When I look at baby pictures of my daughter, my eyes zero in on the protruding, tumor filled forehead that I did not see coming. I notice that she’s often propped up when she’s sitting or using her arm to counterbalance the lack of strength on her right side. I see with hindsight what I cannot unsee, my child was not well and I did not know. Fi ..read more

Tillery's Hustle for Hope 5k 2019 Recap

It's been hard to gather thoughts on this past weekend's Tillery's Hustle for Hope 5k. I have so much swirling around and need to sit still for a bit and get it down. Join me on my brain dump from the 3rd Annual 5k...it was a good one! First, let me say it is an honor and a privilege to be able to share the stories of so many amazing kids. Every year, there is a flood of emotions as we look over all of the Hero Signs and think about the awesome kids and families we have met on our childhood cancer journey. It's sad to see how many signs say "in memory of" but it's nice to know that we are a ..read more
