Day 15

Brain Cancer awareness and Stroke awareness.

05/01/2026

Feel free to copy and share, tomorrow starts Brain Tumor awareness month. Unlike most other cancers you hardly ever hear about it, it comes in silently and kills with a quickness and cruelty unmatched by other cancers. With Glioblastome particularly there is no hope of cure. The options of those diagnosed are to go quickly to death or subject themselves and their loved ones to treatments that are almost more violent and cruel than the cancer itself. Treatments that will at the most get them 14mos. of life and will most likely steal their mobility, personality and quality of life. Their brains are frequently ravaged by seizures and swelling while the brain tissue slowly dies from round after round of radiation treatment. Less than 5% of those diagnosed live to see 5 years, while most survive 6-14mos. Those who are so "lucky" will subject themselves to multiple treatments, continual tests and a constant waiting in fear for the inevitable day that the dormant monster that is glioblastoma claims there life. This disease shows no mercy based on age or gender. It affects men, women, adults, children, rich and poor. The person diagnosed with glioblastoma often requires 24hr care making it impossible for either person to work. The simplest of takes requires planning and preparation. No matter what treatment choices are made chances are you will lose your loved one piece by piece a little bit each day as the cancer and treatment ravage their brains. Doctors can be of some help but even the best of Dr.'s are bewildered by this ever changing and mutating cancer that becomes resistant to even the treatments that work in the beginning, always changing and evolving to continue to grow. If 1 more person becomes aware of this disease and 1 more person donates to a cause that helps support it than maybe someday there can be hope.💔

Hello everyone! I know it’s been awhile since I have updated. Life has been a roller coaster of emotions and lots of learning and overwhelming days. But today starts a new journey. We are headed out to Ann Arbor to U of M to if they have an options for Treatments as we have come to a stand still here at covenant. It will be a lot of traveling but we are hopeful to get some new options!

Hello all. Quick update.
First off thank you for all the prayers! Sam is currently in rehab and has a very long road ahead. Lots has happened in a small amount of time and we made the decision to close our storefront. As of right now my complete focus will be on Sam. We are very heartbroken about this decision, and are praying that maybe someday we will be able to continue to in some form do what we love. But for now please continue to pray for Sam not only for healing but for peace and grace with him self as this has been a very difficult change for him.
As for donations, balloon decor and entertainment was our way of life and income, For those that know Sam well it is hard for him to rely on help when he always has been the one to lend a hand. So as we navigate the next chapter please help me make sure he knows life outside of those hospitals walls is being handle and he can fully focus on the strength he needs to get back home!
He is not up for any visitors but if anyone would like to send him a prayer or a card to lift his spirits for now it can be sent to the store address.

I just wanted to first say thank you so incredibly much for all the donations, shares and prayers

Now for an update: Sam has been taken off sedation and off the ventilator but remains on assisted oxygen. He is on many antibiotics and healing is very slow. He is having trouble with confusion and aphasia and very agitated but every once and awhile his silly light hearted personality shows through. We are still looking at time in the ICU and a long road ahead.

Not gonna lie it’s hard to see the strongest person I know going through all that he is going through. I know he is a fighter I just pray for the strength to get through the ups and downs. Sam is my rock he is my strength.

Well I haven’t posted since the beginning of the month. Life has been a hectic roller coaster as of late and Balloon man Sam has been in ICU for a week now after only being home from his last 2 week hospital stay for 4 days. We are not sure where this road is going or how long it is going to be but it is a very hard one to travel especially when you are self employed.
Please continue to say Prayers for Balloon Man Sam and hold me and his girls in your thoughts.

***Sam is recovering well. After a short rehab stay, he is home. His right hand is numb so it will be a while before he is back to work. Thanks you for keeping in your prayers. ***

I know we have been silent as of late on here and hours have been very off.
Life has been a bit of a rollercoaster, and we are headed on another nerve racking journey. Balloon Man Sam is headed into Surgery Monday the 5th.

Please send prayers for the surgeons hands and for our AMAZING Sam!
