Hi and happy Saturday! I wanted to take a moment to update you on Grandon’s progress this week. On Tuesday, he began his immunotherapy treatment.

Spring Break Recap
Hi! Spring break is over, and now I’m on the last stretch of long distance with Grandon for the school year. Just wanted to write a quick post about Spring Break. The day I came home (Friday, March 7th) was the day after Grandon finally got out of the hospital after a month! We’ve had…
Update 2/12/2025
To everyone who has been thinking of and praying for Grandon this week, I wanted to take a moment to update you all, especially those who have been reaching out and asking how he’s doing.

Update 9/7/2024
Hello and happy weekend! I accidentally haven’t posted an update in almost a week whoops! If I’m completely honest, half the time I’m not exactly sure what’s going on or what’s happening next. I treasure the moments I get to have a phone call with Grandon, but those calls only happen once every few days…
Gift Ideas!
This post is a fun one! If you want to support Grandon (or another loved one) through cancer, a great way to do that is by sending gifts. I figured out very early on in our relationship that Grandon is one of the best gift-givers I have ever met in my life! He deserves all…
