My family!! (Part of it) Ann, Mom, and Andy last Saturday at the KC Iowa Club day at the Royals game! So glad they all had fun! Proud of my brother as the president of the KC Iowa Club for all he does, and Ann, too. You guys ROCK! Go Hawks! I love you! #purejoy #lovemyfam #gohawksgo #gomomgo #roar (at Kauffman Stadium, Kansas City)

So true! Hope this helps someone rethink how they are feeling about themselves, bc one person doesn't "get" you. Don't let them steal your JOY! 😊👍 (at Good Ol Liquid Avenue, Webster City, IA)

Well, as you can see in the picture, she's a-smiling and sporting her Hawkeye wear (and some über cute black with white polka dot sneakers that you can't see, but trust me, they are cu-ute!) and doing well. You may see her red cheeks, and, no, I'm not giving her margaritas for breakfast. She is having a similar day-after reaction like she did the last time she had her doozie chemo. Her oncologist just makes sure she takes Benadryl and contact him, but is not really concerned. It's already getting better. Her doc does not believe it's related to the carboplatin or gemcitabine which is great news. That carbo, especially, is killing the ICK that has chosen to live in Mom's lungs! So, we want her to keep getting that carbo! She is scheduled to have a short treatment next Tuesday in Carroll of the gemcitabine IF her counts are ok. If they aren't, she won't get the chemo and she will likely get another Neulasta shot which stimulates the growth of white blood cells in the bones and helps her body be strong enough for the next doozie chemo at Mayo on August 19th!! So, all is sWELL! Go Mom Go! Thanks Team MOjo! Keep the love, happy thoughts, and prayers a-coming. We sooo appreciate them and YOU! Alright. Happy Hump Day. We are heading back to Iowa as soon as I get ready! Ready. Break. Amen. Love from The Ostlunds! 💛😘💛 #roar #shownomercy #hawkeyestrong #kicktheick #gomomgo #teammojorocks #ohsothankful #praypraypray #readybreakamen (at La Quinta Inn and Suites, Rochester, MN)

Third big treatment is in the past. Done and accounted for. Mom is feeling good and, as usual, ROARing. Kisses to the trooper!! Go Mom Go! Ready. Break. Amen.

Mom just started the four hour carboplatin bag, then the 1/2 hour bag of gemcitabine. Just had lunch Freaky Fast from Jimmy John's. Yummo. Mom and I split a full sandwich, we each had chips and a cookie. It's all good! XOXO. Thanks Team MOjo for the love, support, & prayers!! #roar #shownomercy #kicktheick #gomomgo #teammojorocks #hawkeyestrong #ohsothankful #praypraypray #readybreakamen (at Eisenberg Building Methodist Hospital Mayo Clinic)

Mom's blood work was great again today so chemo starts at 8 am tomorrow!! Long day, but worth it to kick the ICK. We are relaxing now that we are back at the hotel. Going to hit the pool. She's ROARing as usual!! Go Team MOjo! Our tradition... Our looking-at-each other pic!! (at La Quinta Inn and Suites, Rochester, MN)
