As parents our life ebbs and flows as our children grow. Our life is definitely in transition. Instead of fighting it, Phil and I are going with the flow. In fact, we have stopped fighting the changes because there have been so many and take each day as it comes. Our...

I still have not taken Lolo's first day of school picture. I am starting to wonder what happens to my well-thought out plans each day. I really think it might happen tomorrow. I want her to be in the right frame of mind. Seriously. I have been trying to make our...

It is the beginning of Lolo's sophomore year of high school. In usual Hacker fashion, we have yet to take Lolo's first day of school picture. We have been distracted and I don't want to make her too angry in the morning. Oh my gosh, if you have ever seen Lolo in the...

We are so excited to have our first event! Lolo's Angels Executive Board and our Jr. Board of Directors (high school students from 4 Omaha high schools) are having an informal gathering in pursuit of better treatment and a cure for pediatric AML. All proceeds will go...

Lauren had to go in today to get a Strep test. This is actually the first day she has missed since school started. She had to miss a couple of hours one day, but not a full day. She is so tired. We saw her pediatrician, not her oncologist today. It was nice to see Dr....
