On November 25, 2017, our world was turned upside down. Our son Logan, who was 5 at the time, was diagnosed with T-Cell Non Hodgkins Lymphoblastic Lymphoma. Late in the night he had kept saying his throat hurt and felt funny. We let him sleep with us and are beyond thankful we did.

It’s no surprise that one of Karmyn’s biggest dreams is to visit Tokyo to sample all of the incredible sushi Japan has to offer.

Apollo has never been a sickly child (quite the opposite!) but just before the age of 2, he started to have recurring ear infections.
