Gabbie Got This

07/10/2026

🦁This is what moving on looks like. Leaving cancer in her past and moving on to explore what her future of possibilities could be. Gabbie leaves for Hofstra on Aug. 27th and we couldn’t be more proud of her and so incredibly thankful for those that helped get her to the end of one finish line and to the start of the next. Welcome to the Hofstra Pride! This chapter is going to be amazing Gabbie! 🦁

🎗️❤️To the pediatric cancer parents that do not get to see their child walk this milestone. I promise to never take these moments for granted and wish with all my heart your child would be walking right next to Gabbie. As happy as you are for us, I know there is that ache in your heart for what should have been for your child and your family. You deserved these moments too. I will forever keep them in my heart and continue to fight so more children have every opportunity for tomorrows that are filled with less lifelong side effects from treatment.❤️🎗️

Hey all! We have been busy doing all the things so here is an update on Gab and a call to action for a local fighter family that needs some relief and a moment to just take a breath.
Gab got an email two days ago with her Hofstra move in date and dorm number! It’s real y’all! She’s going to college! She also is allowed to do simple everyday things like get her hair dyed and nails done! She has been waiting for these moments to come back to her for four years so we have been elated in doing all the things! We found an amazing Neurologist at Jefferson for Gab and have high hopes in their ability to control her seizures and get her back behind the wheel of her car by Christmas break. Fingers crossed!

🚨🎗️🚨🧡Call to Action🧡🚨🎗️🚨

Today is World Blood Cancer Awareness day! Ways to celebrate and make a difference include donating blood or platelets or registering for the bone marrow registry. All of these bring hope and truly make a difference to those in the fight! For some, it is their cure! We are so thankful every day for those who took the time to donate blood and platelets that ultimately made their way to our Gabbie. And, of course, to her bone marrow donor who gifted us an entire lifetime of tomorrows and a forever of watching Gabbie’s dreams come true! We cannot ever repay this gift.

As we are almost 2 years into our survivorship journey, I am so happy to see legislation such as this coming into play. If you have followed us for Gabs whole journey, you have witnessed first hand the devastating side effects of treatment. A secondary cancer, infertility, epilepsy, and chronic graft vs host are just a few we can name. And Gabbie is only 21. We hold our breathe daily praying more won’t come. The guarantees listed in this bill are necessary for so many reasons. Specifically as our children transition into adult care. It is scary and it is hard and it is lonely. Our children’s futures deserve this. Parent of childhood cancer warriors deserve the peace of mind know their FAMILY will be cared for and cared about after they ring the bell. If you would like to advocate for families like mine please follow the link below to remind our government that the reason the childhood cancer ribbon is gold is because our children are our most valuable possession and should be treated as such.

Join us in asking Congress to support cancer survivors by becoming early cosponsors of the Lainie Jones Comprehensive Cancer Survivorship Act: https://www.votervoice.net/ChildrensCause/Campaigns/137353/Respond

Happy Mother’s Day!!!!!

To all the mom’s in this fight, I see you.
Whether you are just beginning, in the middle, have finished treatment, or now have an angel watching over you, the fight feels like it never ends. The grief and anxiety stay at the forefront of our minds. For today, I hope you find a moment to refill your soul. Take a deep breathe, go outside, pet the dog, take 5 extra minutes in the shower, eat a hot meal, paint your nails… whatever makes you smile. You are not alone. We got this!

We are home and all cuddled up with the family! I think Porkchop is happiest of all! Wishing you all a very Happy Easter.

This is not for the weak minded by any means. Being in the same room for 8 days, constantly being watched on camera, being pushed to your limits daily to help produce a seizure is hard stuff. But Gab did it. With very little complaining I may add. And during all of it she still held meetings with her college, picked her classes, and filed out scholarships. Tomorrow we go home with 1 seizure caught on eeg and some new medication. We have a treatment plan and will hopefully get to the point that epilepsy is just something that happened. This girl has a life to live! Also, I’m not crying about the whole she is leaving me for college thing. I’m totally fine🤪😭😭😭

The past two days have been pretty uneventful as far as seizures go but we made sure to fill them with fun! We put her switch to use and played all the sports in hopes some physical exertion would help our cause. It didn’t but we had a great time in the process! Today we kicked all the butt at BINGO! Our highlight of the day, however, was the window game! Apparently, people have very strong opinions and even philosophies about if a hot dog and a burger are sandwiches. Debates happened, friendships were made and broken, and everyone is now very perplexed and unsure where we landed. We were told if a hot dog is a sandwich then cereal is soup! Stay tuned for more window fun tomorrow!

Big day today!!!! One of our most favorite aspects about the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia is how they treat the “whole patient”. Cooper the therapy pup stopped in to say hi today and just hang out. He visited for about 20 minutes and would have stayed longer had Gabs lunch not walked in the door. The smile on her face is everything! And I’m not gonna lie, I may have enjoyed it even more than Gab.
In other news, Gab did have a seizure this morning and it was caught on the eeg. It confirms her epilepsy diagnosis which has been up in the air until this moment. This was our whole reason for coming. Technically we could go home at this point however we will stay until Sunday to see if we can get any more seizures on eeg to help inform her care moving forward. There is a calm in finally knowing for sure and a drive to move forward to make sure this doesn’t inhibit her the rest of her life. There are certain things cancer and side effects from treatment have taken from Gabbie that we cannot control, but this we can and we will. It will just take time a patience and the best docs around. As always, we are surrounded by the right people and have the support any family would be so lucky to have. Today was a good day!
