Camp KickassThe Panda Queen known as “Julie Moser” returned to the Kickass Command Post in Lebanon, NH, on March 17th to continue her reign of dominance over deadbeat cells already in retreat. The second round of chemotherapy, called the consolidation phase, is designed to collect and focus the cosmic forces of love that have poured in […]
We sometimes have serious discussions about Muppets — don’t act so shocked, you guys do, too – and Jules believes she’s Bert or Kermit (which makes Randy the Cookie Monster or Ernie, a caricature a bit too close for comfort, especially on the sweet side). Somewhere between a necessary dream and the desire to be […]
Time has been kind to our family of misfits. We’ve had long, good days of listening to Julie’s playlist, which might be Public Image Limited one minute and Explosions in the Sky or Miles Davis the next. The minute she returned home (or, rather, right after Alvin assaulted her), Julie reached for her guitar, eager […]
Quick update about the timing of Julie’s bone biopsy because that test sets the timing for her next round of consolidation chemotherapy. Just as we were pleasantly surprised that Julie CRUSHED induction so hard that they had to release her early (or the love reaction would blow), we found out yesterday that her biopsy will […]
We just wanted to connect to let you know that it’s been a good week for the Moser Twins. Julie’s triumph return from Phase I of Camp Kickass has provided us with a chance to pour over cards, videos, e-mails and other bat signals of encouragement and love. We’ve taken this time to rest and […]
Home for the Holiday Surprising doctors, nurses, family members, and the husband – one who had expected to have a full week to fumigate and un-disaster the home – Julie “Kickass Panda Warrior Queen” not only did not need to complete a second round of induction chemotherapy, but did so well she was released nearly […]
In a fortunate turn of events, the Kickass warrior known as Julie who is battling leukemia has mystified her doctors. Here is what they transmitted to us tonight: Julie’s response to the leukemia has been “unusually enthusiastic” in that they have never seen such a positive, quick response As of yesterday, there are zero leukemia […]
Hi everyone, I’ll start with the least-important news: We’ve put up a new blog site and I’ve migrated journal content over to it. No offence intended whatsoever to CaringBridge (they’re providing a very valuable service), but the repeated asks for money (to support the service) seemed a little disingenuous. (That is, those asks sometimes look […]
Jules continues to improve, using outlaw WWF wrestling moves to beat opponents into submission. Sores in her mouth have begun to make a steady retreat, she has scared away fevers for the past four days, and she is conquering the land of nadir like the badass Panda warrior princess she is! She also continues to […]
Julie is getting regular transfusions now, which should help her feel stronger, and the thrush has abated a lot. She still has the mucositis, which makes swallowing and talking a problem, and sores in her mouth and throat (from the thrush AND mucositis), but she’s eating as well as she can and getting plenty of […]
