.quick change.

Last night Jack was up pretty much all night (he only slept between 3 and 5 am) with ear pain and mouth pain. Instead of doing another middle of the night ER trip like last week, we are taking to the clinic today. And instead of waiting until Friday to do his blood work and going a second time in one week, that will also be done this afternoon.

We hope it is just another ear infection and something a little dose of antibiotics can take care of, and that the appointment will go quickly and smoothly. Jordan is taking him now, so that I get a break from the hospital and another Dr. visits for a little.

I would trade places with Jack in a heartbeat though. I hate seeing the tears in his eyes and his pleas to not go to the Dr. I know that one day, this will be behind us. For now just praying that Jack be more aware of the love we have for him and the nearness of God, than the pain he is currently experiencing.

Thanks for praying friends.

I will be praying for you and Jack today, friend. May your heart be strengthened by the prayers of MANY around you.

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

Just too funny

I had to share this funny moment with Tyler. I guess I will always be a cheerleader at heart- so I was cooking dinner and decided to do a little "cheer" of Tyler's name for him to see what he would do.... and he just laughed so hard- it was on the verge of crying! See the little video below!

.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
