It has been a WHILE since I have updated here. This is mostly because life has been relatively boring 😉 In my last post (from JULY!!) I had just finished the 28 rounds of regular radiation and had my 3rd of 14 infusions of microscopic cancer killing juice- aka Kadcyla. After that post- I finished […]
Cancer: A Three Year Old’s Perspective
Last week, we all watched a new family movie together called Wonder Park. It’s about a girl named June and how she and her mom created an amazing mini theme park called Wonderland that’s run by a group of animals. The mother tells June that she is sick but that there are doctors that can […]
Wait- is it 2019 or 2020?
Isn’t it 2020? This week is feeling a liiiiiiiiiitle like 2019. If you’re on Facebook you know that the kids are sick. Well 3/4 of them, anyway, have fevers. It started with just Emory on Monday- low grade fever all day and lethargic and no appetite. Tuesday he perked up a bit but then by […]
Happy New Year!
From our family to yours. CHEERS! Love, The Yehs
A Tale of 4 Christmas Trees
Well it’s 5:45 am and I’ve been awake for an hour- so I decided to just get up. In fact- I just took my new med (CBD oil) and waiting for it to do it’s thing (for nausea) so I can hopefully not take as much of the med that makes me wake up so […]

How to Help
We have been asked a LOT about how people can help our family. One thing that always comes up is of course- meal trains. Because Esella and I have celiac disease- we can’t accept foods made outside our home unless they are made in a GF home/kitchen OR unless they are from trusted restaurants. (This […]
Packing & Packing & More Packing…
…Is what we’ve been up to the last several days. One side effect of chemo is restlessness…which at least is helpful when you’re moving and you need to pack up a 2800 sq ft house in a couple weeks time (not so helpful when you just want to relax and watch a show or read […]
Then There is the Guilt
Did you know that when you end up with cancer- you may find yourself feeling guilty? No- I didn’t/don’t feel guilty that I HAVE cancer…but I did feel guilt that I didn’t find it soon enough. When Carl was biopsied he was already 4.5 cm long, per the u/s report. People, my breasts are NOT […]
It’s Beginning to Look a Lot Like….
…a FAKE Christmas Tree. There is a FAKE tree in my house. I am not a fake tree person, but I will get to that… I mentioned that we’ve bought a new home. In fact, we currently own two homes. This house will go on the market sometime in the new year. First we need […]
