It is not because I don’t care; it is a combination of being very busy and not really knowing what to write about. My passion to help [...]

Since July 13, 2007 Travis has had too many medical appointments to count. He has been on too much medication, especially pain medication. He has been on Oxycontin, Duragesic pain patches, [...]

We are approaching the two year mark to the day that Travis was diagnosed. I still remember that day. He was sitting up in a hospital bed. I walked in the room and there were some doctors in there with him. Then they explained to me that Travis had a brain tumor. There was no [...]

Things are changing. Travis’s eye is improving. It is starting to turn out. It almost looks like it did before he had his second surgery. His eye lid is still droopy and he still can’t raise his left eyebrow. The droopiness can be fixed but he has to wait until there is not anymore progress. [...]
