Day + 7 Today was Awesome!


Today was so much better than yesterday. My platelets were low again at 12 so I got another bag. Wow I'm so thankful for people taking the time to donate platelets. What would I do without them? You need platelets to clot your blood when you bleed. My mom noticed that some of my hair was falling out on my pillow cases and on my PJ's. It was bound to happen especially after all that radiation and chemotherapy.


I'm really working getting my daily laps in around the unit. Today so far I have done 4 big laps and 1 small lap. I'm getting stronger each day, but that chemo really wiped me out on Sunday /Monday. I'm so glad to be done with that. Fitness is so important, right Dr. K?!?!?!


So I'm innocently in my room when a bunch of nurses bust in ... on their day off (Lynn & Megan) while Rachel was working, whom are all going to the Taylor Swift concert tomorrow night in Glendale. OF course I can't go, I'm getting a bone marrow transplant but I'm sure tomorrow I'll have FOMO.


They made big heads with messgaes to me ... literally bringing Taylor Swift to me! I can't even believe this, it's SO awesome! Be sure to read the messages ... they are spot on! Geez how creative is this, Lynn?!?!?!

TAYLOR SWIFT - is the BEST ever!




HOW did this happen?? 
I still cannot believe it...

 It all started with Mia's twitter - @pray4miraclemia
Someone who follows Mia's story and who is a benefactor to:


wanted to BLESS Mia and sisters with 4 tickets to
Taylor's Swift's #ReputationTour
staring out in ARIZONA of all places!
They wished to remain anonymous, and to this day...
we have no idea WHO this amazing nice person is.
(This just proves that there truly are good people in this world!)
 SO...a while ago, 
I was thinking of ANY possibility that these girls could somehow
get to a meet and greet??
Someone from the Banner Health Foundation - 
on behalf of Mia, just sent an email...
no promises or anything, just saying here's Mia's story,
it is what it is...she NEEDS s bone marrow transplant to be cured

(hence BE THE MATCH)

because with every blood transfusion - that saves her life -
more deadly iron is packed onto her organs, mainly the heart and
liver...which causes... the D word.

None of Mia's 3 sisters are a complete bone marrow 'MATCH'
for Mia...around the whole world...there was one lady who was
CLOSE, a 29 year old female in Europe...that was a 9/10
but Mia NEEDS a perfect match, a 10/10.
We know you are out there somewhere!

If you are reading this...did you know the all it takes is a simple 
'cheek swab' of your mouth to see if you 'match' Mia -
or someone else who needs a life saving transplant to survive.
AND to make it even better...it's FREE if you are between 
the ages of 18-44 yrs old - they will mail you a cheek swab
kit to your house, it really couldn't get any easier.
People just don't KNOW about it. 






The 45 minute drive to Glendale took 2 hours!




They almost didn't make it...but look how excited they are!!









Oh my gosh...here's a flash back to the 1989 tour!!


Look how little they were!


Naturally, I wrote a poem to say how THANKFUL I am 
to everyone who made this possible!!!
I can't explain how making MEMORIES means so much to me.
Maybe it's because I am too aware of how fleeting life
can be...every moment is special and that time spent together
should be cherished!!


Thank You - Taylor’s Team


It’s hard to find the right words that truly convey,
My thankfulness to you for a very special day.
I’m not exactly sure how it all was arranged,
All the emails and phone numbers that must have been exchanged.
To give my 4 girls an unforgettable night,
When people take time to help others the world is alright.
What a surprise to meet and greet THEE Taylor Swift,
You’ve given my girls an exceptional gift.
The memories they made at the #repTourGlendale show
Means more to my family than you will ever know.
It’s hard to watch your daughter struggle through this life,
Mia handles it with grace despite all the strife.
She truly has ‘bad blood’ who needs a cure you see…
That’s why I wanted to reach out and say thank you to Tree.
For making the meet and greet possible…and to Nikki in Nashville, 
You gave an experience to my girls who are completely thrilled!
They had the time of their lives singing and dancing at the show,
They still can’t get over it…you should see them glow.
A bone marrow transplant is what Mia needs to be cured, 
Until then she relies on blood donors - what a life she’s endured. 
Taylor Swift is more than a singer who rocks the stage,
She makes life easier to the masses, people of any age.
They will forever remember the night of May 8th,
It’ll remind them that all things are possible, just keep the faith.
Thank you, thank you, thank you…I could just cry.
It proves you can do anything if you just try.
Thank you to Taylor Swift for being so incredibly sweet,
Especially to my girls at the Glendale meet and greet!

Blood Transfusion #132


IV in...check! Ready to feel better...check! It's going to be a long day, but that's ok...check!


I turned around and this is what I saw...melts my heart, that's for sure.

Good Blood


If you haven't seen this yet...you must!! The creators did such a great job with this video, and they are truly raising awareness for Be The Match, bone marrow transplants, and #GoodBlood!! We love it. Our hope and prayer is that one day Mia will be healed, either remission (God's healing hand) or through a bone marrow transplant via Be The Match. (None of Mia's 3 sisters are a sibling match to her which has better survival rates.) We will never give up hope...and we will never cease to pray. God can do anything...and if Mia is not healed in this life, she will be healed when she meets Jesus in heaven. Amen!!

#1989tourGlendale



What a great memory for Mia & her sisters...they were surprised with tickets to the Taylor Swift #1989tourGlendale concert on Monday night. They had a great time and rocked out all night to their favorite songs. We are especially grateful to people that donate their blood to patients like Mia who need it to survive...thank you so much because without you Mia wouldn't be here. Thank you blood donors for allowing Mia to be a part of this memorable night. #DonateBlood #GiveBlood #BadBlood #MiasMarrow

Ode to Taylor Swift

These girls were surprised with tickets to the Taylor Swift Concert last Friday night!! You can watch the Youtube video by clicking here. What a wonderful surprise!!!


Thanks to our sweet neighbor Ken who thought of these girls back in February when the tickets came on sale...and wanted them to go so badly to her concert, he bought 4 tickets for them. Make sure you watch the video above to see how the girls were surprised on Ken's Birthday!!

Mia has battled 'Bad Blood' all her life. I sincerely hope someone can help here and her sisters meet Taylor Swift, even for a moment! It would mean everything. Mia's sisters have truly been there for her for almost 13 years. Having a child with a life threatening illness affects more than just the child...it affects the whole family. Mia is alive today because of generous blood donors...words could never say thank you enough. I wish more than anything these sweet girls of mine could make an epic memory...of meeting Taylor Swift.


Mama McP is crazy and wrote a poem to Taylor Swift...haha! My hope is that someone would see this and let these girls meet her. The memory would be forever!
