Hi Everyone,
I am happy to report that I am all better and Charlie is back home. Yay! I hope to spend as much time as possible with him. He goes back to the hospital on Monday already. Right now we are still waiting for his bone marrow biopsy results. We are praying that the chemo worked and that his prognosis is good. The doctors are very optimistic about Charlie. He is young and healthy and can beat this cancer! Charlie still needs to post pictures of his hats. To all of you who sent him one, thank you!! He loves getting them in the mail. Not much to write today but will update more tomorrow. Hope you all have a happy Friday!

Day 27
Hi Everyone,
It's Wednesday and we are half way through the week. Charlie had his bone marrow biopsy done today. The procedure went well as planned and should have the results in about two days. Things are starting to fall into place and a plan is in the making. Charlie found out today that he will be returning to the hospital on Monday, July 11th. His hospital stay will be the same as the last. He will be going through another round of chemo and is expected to stay another three weeks. Charlie isn't too thrilled about returning to the hospital, but it ready to start getting better. I am looking forward to spending the weekend with him. I am feeling much better and will soon be able to see Charlie. I got to see him on Monday but didn't last too long as he had to go to the hospital. I am so happy that he is ok and did not have to stay. Charlie is still so positive and is loving the hats that he has received. He is going to be styling at the hospital. I hope these next couple of days go by really slow so I can soak up as much hospital free time with Charlie.
I have to admit that this past month has been rough for me. I feel like one thing after the other keeps happening. When it rains, it pours. I feel like God is testing my faith in Him. Yesterday on my way to work I fell face first on the concrete and got hurt pretty bad. I had a bloody nose and scratches all on the front of my body. There was no one around to help me when it happened, and I just laid there in tears asking why. WHY? WHY? WHY? Why is all of this happening to me? I could lay there for hours and ask, but I would never get an answer. As soon as I was at my worst and lacking faith, I received great news today. God started to pour on the blessings. During these times we can get so discouraged and look at the bad things and ask why...but today I realized that God really does have a perfect plan for us, and even if we don't understand it at the moment, he knows best and will show us what he has in store. It's so easy to look at the bad in situations, but I feel that it's time for me to look at the good. Charlie is going to get through this. Thank you all who have kept us in your thoughts and prayers. We are so blessed to have you all. I want to thank Lauren (Charlie's cousin) for creating a donation site. The hats are awesome that you designed and we really appreciate your time and effort. If you all havent heard already, there is a donation site for Charlie. At this site if you donate 25 dollars or more, you get a hat. If you would like to help, the website is http://www.allforcharlie.bbnow.org/ Check it out! We love you all!!

Day 26
Hello everyone,
Hi, it's me, Charlie. Whitney wasn't feeling too well so she asked me to write the blog tonight. I hope everyone had a good 4th. I ended up at th ER last night. The doc tested for a blood clot because my heart rate was high and I had slight fever. All the test results came back negative, so I'm good. I met with a social worker today to get more information on the transplant at the city of hope. She gave us a lot of good info on what to expect in the next few months. Tomorrow I have a bone marrow biopsy with my oncologist,the same one that found my cancer. I have mixed feelings on this biopsy, it's uncomfortable and a little painful but on the other hand I need it done to see where my cancer cells are at right now, so we can get a better idea on when the transplant can actually happen. So that's what's going on with me right now. I really hope Whitney feels better really soon. She deserves to feel better, she works really hard. And I miss my little bambino!! I'm enjoying being out of the hospital, but want to get the next round of chemo out of the way. I'm also really stoked on all the hats I've been receiving so far. I promise I will start posting pictures of them all on Facebook as soon as I can. Thank you all for your support and love and prayers. I love you all. Have a great day.

Hi Everyone,
Hope you all had a fun and safe fourth of July. Right now I am sending an urgent prayer request out. Charlie is in the ER due to having a fever. This past week I have been sick and he caught my cold. Please pray for him that nothing is seriosuly wrong and for his body to fight this cold. He is having a CT and chest X-ray right now. I will keep you all updated but please pray for healing for Charlie and for comfort. He is frustrated and annoyed that he is back in the ER and also feels scared. Thank you all for your prayers!

Day 24
Hi Everyone,
I can't believe the weekend is over! Thankfully I have tomorrow off and can rest some more. I hope to be feeling better tomorrow so I can go to family BBQ. Little Charlie went over today and will spend the night as well. I want Charlie to spend as much time as possible with little Charlie because when he goes back to the hospital visiting will be limited. Charlie is loving being free from the hospital. He has been going out everyday doing a little something here and there. I am dreading the day he has to go back, but am happy to start the journey of getting Charlie better. I haven't seen him in a couple days, but he is almost completely bald. He has been wearing hats around and is excited to see what other hats come in the mail. He will be posting pictures on facebook of him in the hats. Theres not much to post today, but wanted to write and give a quick update. I hope you all enjoy your Fourth of July!

Day 23
Hi Everyone,
Hope you all are enjoying your weekend so far. Charlie is still in Kapolei since I am still sick. I wish I could say that I am feeling better, but I am almost feeling worse. This is a nasty cold. I am praying that I get better soon because I really want to spend time with Charlie. Today Chuck shaved his head! He is officially bald. Since Chuck did it, I am very tempted to do it as well. Charlie got more hats in the mail today. He is pretty stoked on the hats he is receiving. He said he will post pictures of him wearing them on facebook. Lauren, Charlies cousin started a pretty cool website for donations for Charlie. I will post the link at the bottom of the page. On the website there are two hat designs that she created. If you donate 25 dollars of more, she will mail you the hat of your choice. All proceeds go to Charlie. Thanks Lauren!
It's been almost a month since we found out that Charlie had cancer. It's been a crazy couple of weeks. I am so thankful that my mom is here helping me with little Charlie. I couldn't do it without her. We are getting ready to move back to Kapolei and I am so grateful that we can stay with Charlie's parents. Our parents are the best! Not too many updates at this time about Charlie. He is feeling great and hanging in there. We have at least one more week left until Charlie goes back to the hospital. Please pray for healing for me so I can see Charlie again. Here are some pictures of some hats Charlie got in the mail. Also click on the link below to check out the hat website that Lauren designed. Your donations are really appreciated!!
Here is Lauren's hat. It's also available in white! To get one to go: http://www.allforcharlie.bbnow.org/

Day 22
Hi Everyone,
Happy Friday!! It's going to be a nice three day weekend. The only down side to it is that me and little Charlie are sick. I have a horrible cough and don't feel all that great. Charlie has gone to Kapolei to stay at his parents house until we are better. I am so frustrated because out of all times to be sick it has to be right now. I am going to rest and drink lots of fluids and hope it's gone by this weekend. Right now Charlie needs to stay healthy and avoid sickness. Please for for us and that Charlie will remain healthy. Today Charlie got his first batch of hats in the mail. I am waiting for him to send me pictures of them. I will probably post them in tomorrow blog. He is so happy that Jenn came up with this hat party idea. It's so nice of all of you to send him hats! Charlie isn't too upset that he is losing his hair, but he doesn't like it. I volunteered to shave my head to make him feel better so he is not the only bald one...but he said no. I was hoping that he would say yes because Karen made a promise that if I did it, she would too. I really wanted her to shave her head! Charlie is handling all of this very well. There are so many changes going on with his body that it can be a little discouraging at times. I give Charlie so much credit for being so strong and positive through this battle. I know he feels like everyone is staring at him wherever her goes. Truth is, no would know just by looking at him that he has cancer. He is still the same ol' Charlie. Right now there are donation sites and fundrasing sites that the family has started. In tomorrows post I will provide links to the websites and where you can donate if any of you want to. We thank you all again for the outpouring of love and support. You guys really do rock. We love you all!
