GREAT NEWS!

Hello, Friends!

I thought I'd check in quickly to make a confession. I followed up with Zach's previous doctor appointment (with a different doc this time... LOVED HIM). They checked his blood sugar (my sis is a diabetic since childhood), did another CBC, and did a repeat on the mono test.. everything was PERFECT! The white cells that were low before were well within "normal range". (That's the REAL reason I wanted to do a repeat) The mono was negative again and his blood sugars were PERFECT! Oh, if you've missed the previous posts, he never had mono. The first doc we saw wanted to rule it out.. the second doc just followed up with it.

Thanks again for praying!

Now, since I have absolutely nothing else to post on.. hehehe... I thought I'd share a video with you. This little dude is AWESOME! He's got moves.. LOVE IT!

The video is titled "Lil Breakdancer". It's TOO ADORABLE!

That little boy is cute but the dog was funny. He reminds me of my two. When I'm working out to my Leslie Sansone DVD's they walk all around me, go lay down and then get up and walk around me again. So funny.

Love ya.; April 21, 2009 at 11:45 AM

Tea with Tiffany said...: I can imagine relieved you must be. Thank you, Lord.

And thank you for stopping by today to let me know I am not alone. I knew you'd understand. The same year my brother found out he had cancer, my best friend's mom died of cancer. She was like a second mom to me. Such a hard year...

Loved the dance!

Thank you for your sweet friendship and support. May God grant us both peace of mind and complete freedom from fear of health.

Love you,

Brent's Story...

Our son Brent suddenly started to complain with back pain in the fall of 2004. He was playing flag football with the town league and loved to roughhouse with his two younger brothers so the pain was dismissed at first. After having him tested for kidney and bladder infections and finding him clear we finally asked for an MRI of his back. A couple of weeks later (the very day of the MRI) we received a phone call from his doctor saying that a tumor was found in his pelvic area. We were asked how quickly we could get him to St. Jude Children's Hospital - we left IMMEDIATELY. Later that same week we got the diagnosis. It was one that we would NEVER, EVER forget. It was Stage IV Neuroblastoma, a cancer of the nervous system. His chances of survival when diagnosed were 1/4 - 1/3. When he relapsed we were reminded there was NO CURE. There was basically no hope of survival... none outside the HOPE we had in JESUS.

Brent fought long and hard. He was a Christian and LOVED his SAVIOR. He NEVER asked "why" or complained. He took each day as it was - a gift from GOD. Brent went HOME to be with the LORD on January 2, 2007. He was 11 years old. If I've EVER had a "hero" in this world.... it would be him.
