Todays ANC is 200 and our last recorded fever was at midnight last night. Praying he gets through today without anymore fever. I can't get out of my mind that a year ago today I was packing to go to the hospital to have my boy. I couldn't wait to meet our little guy! What a year this has been - I never would have imagined living in Memphis at St. Jude and that my baby has spent 40% of his life fighting cancer. It's hard not to get sad, I have my moments and sometimes I am still in disbelief that this is really all happened. God has brought us so far in a journey I never saw coming - I am just going to try harder to trust the Lord with whatever the future holds. The last few weeks have been the most difficult weeks I have endured here watching families I have grown to love being told nothing else can be done, the reality of the monster that cancer is - is so real. The devastation it brings to families is just catastrophic.

Dear God,

Please Lord give me the strength to keep going - I thank you for my Brightmoor family - my church that never stops praying for us! Sundays are my recharge days - God's constantly showing me his mercy and all the prayers everyone is sending to heaven - we can't thank you enough. We are so grateful for our family and friends that are always trying to follow up with us. Dear Lord, keep your hands on our boy as you always have.
