Post 100 Days
Our appointment this week was very good. We were really getting antsy about what Mireya's body has been doing since our last appointment. We were happy to find her counts are holding relatively well. We're continuing to wean her immunosuppression meds with little...
Prayers for Newtown
I've sat here most of the day with a pit in my stomach as the ruthlessness of these events has unfolded. So much is going on in our world that is out of control. My heart is broken and aching for the families of the children and adults killed senselessly today. ...
Make A Wish Radio-thon
#TeamBolton had a great time hanging out with Melissa Chase @ 103.7 (The River) for the Make-A-Wish Radio-thon. Mireya is a Make-A-Wish kid and our trip was one we will treasure forever. We loved visiting the station and sharing our story, our experience and our...
Supporting the Cause – 36 Hours for Kids
#TeamBolton had an amazing time with Q94's Kash and Lite 98's Kat Simons for the 36 Hours for Kids Radio-thon. Originally I thought the interviews would be simulcast on both stations, but we actually ended up doing two separate interviews. Both a little different,...
Another 100 Days
Praise the Lord....we've reached another major milestone, our second 100 days!! We've been on edge for the last week or so because Mireya's had the sniffles and a scant cough, but we were happy to see good counts at our last appointment. Day 100 is significant in...
In the News (Love & Kindness)
#TeamBolton was honored last year by a dear friend and NBC12's 'Acts of Kindness'. Recently we spent time with Sabrina Squire (Local NBC12 Anchorwoman) to discuss all that has transpired since the original piece was aired. We are thankful for the opportunity to...
Sick and Shut-Out
Madness has attempted to infiltrate the camp. At this point, we don't have time for illness or o-sis (as in diagnosis) in the #TeamBolton household. Any type of illness would be very damaging to the progress Mireya's body is making. These last few weeks have been...
Emily’s On a Mission ~ We All Can Help
Meet our dear, sweet little friend Emily Hubbel. Many of you may remember previous posts I've shared about Emily and Mireya. The girls met on the Bone Marrow Unit last summer during their transplants. Reya and Emily both love princesses, painting nails, and...
Not Forgotten
It's so easy to slip off the scene when so much is going on in life...your life and the lives of everyone around you. Sometimes you feel like your hovering just above the breaking point. That thread is unraveling, the nerve is giving in, that last brown blade of...
Higher Higher
Over the last few weeks, Reya has been putting out the best counts we've seen in over a year! We're still remaining very watchful over delicate skin issues, but overall Mireya is tracking well. She had her first pentamadine treatment since the summer today. She was...
