Catching up with Grandma Wendy:
Allie is plugging along with the new treatment. They go to the hospital every other day this week, then that slows down. They needed to be able to get the bag through her sleeve and the accessible clothes you can buy are outrageously expensive. So I went to Goodwill and Walmart and found a few things, ordered snap tape and got to work. Learned some things along the way so the first few I did weren’t great. But they are all usable! Then Trevor gave me an idea to use a vacuum bag to fit them in the box I had. Didn’t have one but have my seal a meal! Went to work. They still didn’t fit in the box I had, but Sheryl came to the rescue with the next size up! Now off to the post office! Please continue to pray for our girl and her family as they navigate this new treatment.
It's Wednesday September 18th, and I just received my first ever Superhero Jersey

This would not be at all possible without every one of you, supporting this amazing cause to raise awareness --and the funds to research to one day end cancer for good!
We have 12 days left for September, so let's finish even stronger than we began
💪🏼👨🏼💼
Good afternoon, Dad. What can you tell us?
"Wanted to give everyone an update. We recently moved down to houston to get her into the best cancer hospital. They recommended a prevention treatment called blena to prevent any cancer relapse, since she hasn't been able to take her full dose of chemo because of allergic reactions to it. So today she had a stint put in and will have to wear a bag of medicine for the next 28 days and then she will have a break from it before starting it back up again a month later. Please keep her in your prayers. This move has been hard on everyone but we think it's going to work out better for her in the end.
Yesterday was Tribute Day --a day to celebrate all of the kids fighting children's cancer, and honor those who have lost the battle.
The Great Cycle Challenge USA was cast in the middle of Times Square from 10am to 6pm, and I was honored to be a part of the slideshow

It's Thursday, July 25th, and we've received an update on Allie. We now go to Grandma, what can you tell us this morning?
Allie is doing fine. Her count shot up to 1300! She was able to have her spinal and treatment. The photo here is from this morning in the recovery room. They were waiting for her to wake up. When I first got the photo I almost cried. Just broke my heart for her. But then I was so happy because God got her count up for her to be able to get the treatment! Amen. Still wish she didn’t have to go through this, but so very thankful for all of your prayers and support on her behalf!
Thank you!
Allie update 6/19/24:
Allie and her parents went to meet the Make a Wish group today. They will be getting a trip to Disney World!!! Sounds like they really do some special things for the kids they choose. God has truly blessed her and her family through this journey! The trip has to wait for a while. She has to be into the maintenance portion of her treatment. But she was excited! You can tell in the photos. Labs are tomorrow. If numbers are good she will have chemo Friday. We all truly appreciate your prayers for her and the family!!
Grandma is just thrilled to pieces to finally share her new license plate. Massive tears when the girl said this was available!
Allie slept a little bit today. I think yesterday caught up with her a bit. She wouldn’t eat dinner. They said to expect her appetite to be affected. She got her first shot at home tonight. She cried, but calmed quickly daddy said.
Please pray for her appetite, for her to handle the shots better, protection from illness and her count to stay up. They are expecting her to possibly need a transfusion with this treatment. Her little body needs to stay strong.

Grandma got the text late last night that our girl was admitted. Please pray for all of them. My heart is broken that I cannot be there.
Here is what Trevor Whatton posted last night:
“Unfortunately Allie has been admitted to the hospital due to repeated fevers and a low ANC blood count. They say this stay will be at a minimum 48 hours but with how her numbers have been declining they think it might be longer. I'll post another update once we know more. Thank you for all your donations we really appreciate it!”
