A tribute to my mom...

I just wanted to take a few moments to honor my mom... She is the BEST mom, the BEST Grandma, and the BEST friend a girl could have. She has faithfully been our #1 babysitter for Tyler, rarely turning down an opportunity to serve us. She comes all the way down from Frederick several times a week, just to hang out with me and Tyler, shop with us, and bring us little things we might need.


She shows my son the most tender love, and he simply adores her. Here is a picture of the face she gets every time she walks in the door.



When she is over to watch Tyler for our date night, and I am up stairs getting ready to go, I can hear them both laughing so loud.. it brings me so much joy to know that my son loves my mom.

And she has been faithful to watch over and care for my son since he was first born. We have been able to take a weekly date night together, knowing that my mom would be there for the past year. Mom, I cannot tell you what a blessing that is to me and to my husband...You are helping to make our marriage stronger.




Here is what we call "mountain climbing"...Tyler climbes all over you if you let him.. Mom my found a funny pair of old glasses for Tyler to play with... she is wearing them here.


Mom, I would not and could not be the mom I am today without your support, love and care. I am so grateful to God for you, and for the friendship we share. You are such a dear friend to me, and I love you so very much. Thank you for all the sacrifices and time you have laid down for me and my family. We all love you so very much.

Diagnosis and Grace

Friends- "God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble" Psalm46:1 Much has happened since I last wrote only 2 short days ago. We found out much later that night a new diagnosis, that our sweet boy has leukemia . We were not completely shocked but we were certainly shaken. After I posted about what was going on at Shady Grove, and we waited a bit more for some results, and we were informed that we needed to take Jack to Children's Hospital in DC for further testing with specialists. This raised our concern level quite high as you can imagine, that even with a snow storm coming, we were needing to make this trip. I began to google the combination of things they had found in the tests done on our little boy (swollen spleen, low platelet count , swollen lymph nodes) and came up options that were NOT Lyme disease, although a few of these symptoms did also look like Lyme. As a result of the google quest, I came across some concerning outcomes, one of the most...

.coming home.

Well, the past 24 hours have changed things again for us! The biggest update, is that we are being discharged tomorrow afternoon some time! The reason this is so crazy is that the Dr. who was on the floor yesterday, was telling us she wanted to keep us here for the entire first month of Jack's treatment. We had begun to think through how we could do this as a family and all the changes that would entail.... and then our nurse came in this morning and told us she was pretty certain we were going home, as early as today if we wanted!! Let me tell you about the past three days that lead up to this decision of our doctor. Firstly, you should know that when Jack was diagnosed with Leukemia, he had a blast count in his blood of 37. That count is now at ZERO!!!! After the central line was put in on Thursday, they began his chemo treatments Friday. He had been having a fever up until that time. He has responded so well to the chemo, and other medications, that he has been fever free since...

.Day by Day.

"The steadfast love of the Lord never ceases; His mercies never come to an end; they are new every morning; great is your faithfulness. The Lord is my portion says my soul. Therefore I will hope in Him." Lamentations 3:22-24 This has been the cry of my heart these past few days. When thoughts of the future loom ahead and what this is going to look like in a week, month, year are ever present, we are seeking to take things one day at a time. And even as we take it one day at a time, each morning, we are faced with more of the unknown- what the day will bring, how Jack will be feeling, how he will respond to his meds, how he will respond to the staff here, when the nasty side-effects of chemo will begin... the list of unknowns are seemingly endless. Not only is the thought of what the day will bring full of unknowns, but we are also very tired, as we are not sleeping much at night and so we are tempted to view the day through the filter of weariness. So yes, it is a fight each...
