.Us.

A week ago, we asked my sister-in-law, the very talented Megan Russell, at the very last minute, if she could come over and take a few pictures of our little family. With the third phase of Jack's treatment, we are seeing more and more hair come out each day, and I just wanted to have some good pictures of all of us together before it all came out. She was so willing to come, and took some amazing photos. Here is a slide show she made for us of the pictures she took.

While I keep you in heart always
He keeps you in hands forever.
Greater Love has no man than that he lays down his life for another.
The depth of my heart is stretch out in your behalf before the throne of the Creator.
I love each one of you, my precious children.

Oh, TK, I finally took a moment to play this slide show... You are such a beautiful mommy! I love all those slobbery (and not so slobbery) kisses. Your love for your family is so evident and it just just can't be contained in these photos. I thank you for sharing with us all these glimpses of a mother's love. Your example over the years of loving your family, and in particular of loving being a mommy, has given me faith for the season I am now in. You provoke me, my friend, and you help me see the loving hand of God. I love learning from you and seeing God's grace at work in your life. So grateful for your friendship!

I am sitting here at my computer literally sobbing ... oh you guys, it is going to be very hard to say goodbye to you all when we have to go back home to MN. I can't put into words how deeply affected I have been by your lives, the breathtaking display of faith and trust in our Savior that you have shown through trial and suffering ... No words can articulate my thanks to Jesus for each of you and for his kindness in letting us have this year together. I love you so much! Hil

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

.Results and Re-Admission.

I am so happy to share that the results from the bone marrow biopsy came back with the results we had hoped and prayed for! They said they found less than 0.1% Leukemic cells in his bone marrow!!! So this is such great news! The prognosis is a good one, and now we get to keep marching on into the next 3 years of making sure the Leukemia does not come back and he is fully in remission! Thank you all so much for all the prayers said on our behalf! I also have the happy report of how last night and this morning went as well... So last night, we woke Jack up at 11:30 to feed him one last time before midnight. He was so sweet and groggy but ate a bunch of nuggets and french fries. We gave him a bottle and put him in bed at midnight and hoped for the best... well, he did not wake up again until 4:45... which was AMAZING for us and him! That was a long stretch for the little guy! After that he cried for a while and Jordan tried distracting him with books and holding him for a while. Jordan w

.Please Pray.

It is hard to believe it has been a month since we first heard the words Leukemia from the Doctors at Children's Hospital. Is it possible for the days to be both long and fast and the nights to seem like they will never end, and yet they are all too short? Many days, by the time is is 5:30 or 6, I feel like I am about to loose my mind! Jordan coming home is the sweetest sight for me, and the boys! I think it is a universal law, that dinner time, no matter the circumstances of life you are in, is just tricky if you have children! And this month has been no exception. There are two reasons why I title this post as .Please Pray. One is that tonight is THE LONG ONE....after midnight, Jack is not allowed to eat until 10 or 11 am after his procedure. If you have been following the blog or talked to us, you know that this is no small feat. He has for the past 3 weeks been awake every 2 hours or so with several nights being every 20 minutes asking for food to eat- which he has eaten all of
