I need to take a moment to update you on children and families that I have asked you to pray about. I woke this morning to a message from the Thayer Family.

::::FROM THE THAYERS Jalen Thayer, our first born son, has met his sister in heaven. They embraced in a hug which is still going on right now and forever at 7:22pm.

I can't help but close my eyes, cry and envision this embrace between the two children, though with pain of knowing that cancer has taken a second child from this family just is disgusting to me. Please pray for this family, they will need it in the days to come.Here is his site Jalen Thayer

I know I repeatedly sound like a broken record filled with sad news, but its so extremely important to help when you can - do whatever you can ... make an effort to change the face of cancer for children, PLEASE!

I am thankful to God to report that Kelly C. (aka KK) , Colin T. , Avery C. , Seth B. , Angel M.,  Isaiah P. , Tyler B. (all on our protocol friends we follow)  all had clear scans - thank you Jesus for these blessings. Our friend Megan P. that is scanning next week and our friend Mia R. scanning today please pray for great results.

We left off with Friday labs and infusion at Rose Cancer Center. His ANC 2100 Hgb (red Blood) 11.2 and platelets 192 and the infusion went smoothly. We started cycle 5 on Saturday, April 2, 2011 and what a difference between the two chemos. This is his finally cycle of these two drugs.  His personality is crazy, he's happier and sillier and more playful and just overall is doing great. His hair is completely in and if you were to see him you could not tell at all what he has endured and still must endure.He runs like a crazy child through the house and babbles in foreign language lol. He's amazing! I thank God everyday for him and I pray over him daily begging God to keep him cancer free.He had labs today, and he is already dropping ANC 1300, Hgb (red blood) 10.8 and platelets 179.

As you know we have big dates approaching and we ask for you to please pray with us for clean, clear, NED (no evidence of disease) on this upcoming scan. We pray this with our whole hearts and ask you kindly to do so as well. Pray for Cures, this is the prayer that matters so very much. Our Scan is May 25, 2011.

I will leave you with this, it was from a service this past week at church ... my Pastor, Pastor Jaime Kjos said that in an interview Lance Armstrong was asked why he advocates so hard in raising money for cancer research. His answer was, "It is the obligation of the CURED." I cried when I heard those words .... I pray that my son will CURED so that our lives mission is the obligation to help the children affected by these catastrophic diseases. 

Dear Lord,

I pray that you allow Baby Nicholas to remain CURED! We know that all things are in your hands .... We pray for all the children's families mourning the losses of their children, but we mindfully pray you will exceed our expectations and gift talented researchers with CURES.... every day is a gift - EVERY SINGLE DAY - I get to cuddle and wake up to play with this little boy .... thank you God for our son Christian and his health, please protect our family Lord and NEVER allow cancer to hurt us again. This is my daily prayer .....Thank you Lord for the endless people who care and read our updates that tirelessly pray for all the children, the ones whom have donated ( some repeatedly) Thank you for new friendships to share this heavy journey .... thank you God for today.
