Rowans first fish! 🥰

04/27/2026

Yesterday we took Rowan fishing. I had actually forgot that it was one of his bucket list activities. We have had so much we've been doing it slipped my mind. The day was beautiful, Rowan had so much fun! He caught his first fish, I'm so happy I got pictures and a video ill share soon.
We were talking about coming up with some more things to do with him. We have had a lot of offers for fun stuff for him and his brothers.
We are so grateful for everyday we get with him like this.
Today we stopped by the Running Brook subdivision, where we got some delicious lemonade and snacks! Met the awesome people who helped raised us more money we can use to keep us afloat while his father is still out of work. As well as help hs to be able to do so many fun activities together as a family while we have the chance.
We are so grateful and honored to have our community come together like they have for our family.
Thank you all so so much!

Took this yesterday after Rowan got back from the doctor. He is 33lbs and 40 inches tall! He got his monthly antibiotics and also had blow out so bad he had to have his clothes bagged up. So he came home wearing a gown.
We are so happy to see him back up and playing like his usual self!
Rowan has gotten quite a bit of toys, so much so that we havent gotten around to letting him open and play with some of them. We are making a dent in his collection though and opened his motorcycle yesterday. Rowan helped put it together and then scooted around the living room and down the hallway!
Please ignore my messy living room! We are attempting to do a deep clean before his dad goes back to work next month.
Speaking of toys, I was thinking that maybe Rowan had enough then it hit me, now that it is warmer out we can play outside more often.
So ive added some outside toys, activities and play equipment to his list. Also going to be adding a few things from his brothers wishlist for anyone who is interested, as we've been asked about things for them as well. Also adding some things we could use for the house/family.
I honestly hadn't planned on adding much else to it until we had several people asking us to update it.
We are grateful to all of you, I am working on a list of things we could really use help with, like yard work, home repairs. We got behind on so much in this past year, while Rowan was in and out of treatment. We've are trying to get caught up but its a lot for two people.
What is most important is that Rowan has been having fun! Playing with his toys, his brothers, and watching all the spongebob he wants!

There is something that happened yesterday that I wanted to share.
We had taken Rowan to Walmart in frankfort to get him a kiddie pool.

We ran into some familiar faces and stopped to talk for a little while. While talking a little girl approached us and shared with me that her mother follows Rowan here on facebook. She told me how God was with us and that they had been praying for us.

She asked if she could give Rowan a hug, and of course we let her. The way he was smiling when she hugged him melted my heart!
The little girl was so well spoken and sweet! It made my day and I have been talking about what happened nearly non stop.

It's like God is trying to tell us we are not alone, when something like this happens. It almost feels like God is speaking directly to us. Using others to be his messenger it is so incredibly heart warming.

So to that little girls mother, Thank you so much for having your daughter bring us some much needed light into our lives! Thank you for praying for our family!

Checked off another bucket list activity! Taking Rowan and his brothers to the Newport aquarium. His oldest brother didn't want to go with us, he wanted to be with his great granny. Kai adores his Granny Gladys.

Logen, Cayde, and Rowan has a blast! I have more photos of them im going to post those on my personal facebook though.

Thank you to everyone who made this trip possible! We are so grateful! Rowan loved the tunnel! We ate lunch at Sharkys Cafe! Then went ans touched some little sharks! Rowan did try to get in the touch tank when we held him up to it. 😅
Luckily his dad had a good grip on him!
We all had a really nice time, but unfortunately I started not feeling well like halfway through the aquarium. I didn't take as many pictures as I would have liked.
We still plan on doing as many fun activities as we can while he is still feeling well. So we will hopefully have plenty more pictures of Rowan and his brothers having fun!

This photo is from a little over a week ago. He wasn't feeling his best, we thought he was still a little wore out from having had the flu. Now we know it was because of the pneumonia.

Rowan loves going to the park, one day we took him and his brothers to fly kites in one of the grassy areas near by. The park was in sight, so Rowan kept trying to run off in the direction of the playground. 😂
He was not interested in the kites at all! He wanted to go play!

He is doing well, still not getting around as well as he was before getting sick. He is getting up more and even climbed up and went down his slide here at home twice all by himself! He is eating and drinking more, which is a huge relief. It's still not as much as we would like him to but its better than nothing.
He has been back to his usual happy self, giving lovings, and roughing up his dad and I.
We are going to give him a little while longer, maybe a week before we try another trip to the park. We want to make sure he is feeling well before we try to do anything else with him.
I'm trying not to get too emotional this morning, I don't want to start the day with tears. Its just so hard, especially when there are times where you can almost convince yourself that none of this is real. The treatments, the pain he went through, it was all a bad nightmare and we are just living each day to the fullest with our boys.

Reality is cruel sometimes.
It all gets to be too much, and I have to repeat to myself that he is still here. He is alive, he is happy, he is still here.
Thank you all so much for your continued support. Ill try to take some time to read some messages today and get back to you all. Rowan loves my phone and is usually on it until it needs to be charged. Then he is on the ipad until he can get back on my phone! 😂

We are back home, back in bed cuddling with daddy!
Rowan has the beginning stages of viral pneumonia. He has already had a dose of antibiotics. We have to try to keep his fever down alternating Tylenol and ibuprofen while also giving him antibiotics twice a day.
Our poor little man just cant catch a break! He is happy to be back home!
He is due for a good stay-cation, we will keep him home until he is feeling better. We will make sure he is nice and comfy so he can rest and recover! 🥰
Thank you all for your continued prayers and support!
This mama is going to enjoy some cuddles with her little man!

He has had a chest xray, his port was acessed labs drawn. They are getting him set up with fluids. He has a fever, they are giving him tylenol right now.
He is enjoying watching his shows, switching between bluey and paw patrol! Hopefully we get some results back from the tests soon. We have been so worried about him, scared that our time with him is running out. We are praying that this is something he will recover from and we can go back to playing and spending time with our happy little man!

Rowan has not been feeling well, we noticed on Saturday that he was slowing down. He has been more tired, having a harder time getting around, eating and drinking less. He has also been having mild fever over the past several days. He has developed a nasty sounding wet cough, and has been breathing harder.
His hospice nurse visited today and believes that while we are seeing some signs of decline due to his cancer, but that he also has an acute illness. She is concerned that his flu may have progressed into pneumonia. We could start him on antibiotics and keep him home or take him to the ER and get a chest xray to see if he possibly has pneumonia.
If want to make sure we have as much time with him as possible with him also feeling well then we want to take him to the ER so he can get treatment. We want him to be comfortable, not feeling icky for whatever time he has left with us. We also don't want whatever illness he does have to shorten our time with him. So we are heading out to the hospital, hopefully whatever Rowan has we can get taken care of quickly so we can get back to enjoying our time together as a family.

We had a lot of fun today but ill share that with you all tomorrow! I didn't take as many photos as I wanted.
As much as his father and I are trying to hold it together, some days its too much. There was a lot of tears shed today, our hearts breaking for our Rollie Pollie.
We are making so many beautiful memories with our boys. Grateful to all of you who have helped make this time with Rowan possible without any additional stress.
These are Rowans Jelly fish, hung above our bed so he can feel like he is under the sea with his spongebob friends!
We plan on decking out the entire bedroom in not only spongebob stuff but neon and glow stuff as well. Rowan has been a bit more tired lately, we want him to have a cozy place he loves to rest in.

It was a busy day for us! Since we are finally feeling better we did a make up Easter at the boys great grannys house.
Rowan was a little grumpy, he wanted to eat the candy from his basket not hunt eggs for more lol.

His Granny Genny and Great Granny Gladys helped him to gather up his eggs. Then he went back inside to enjoy his treats!

We would like to thank STILL TRAX and All Hallowed Treats for the boys baskets! They loved them so much! Rowan let me have a bite of his chocolate, well more like he forced it into my mouth. But it was delicious just the same! Also a special thanks to everyone who helped make this Easter extra special for our boys!

Stay tuned for another post sharing something extra special with you all! 🥰
With this one ill share Rowans usual links.
