Update already

Her chemo will be administered to her 24 hours a day. Yuck! Keep her in your prayers.

Is It In The Water??

More babies. My sister, Jessie, and her hubbie Brad are pregnant! They are due around Jeremiah's 5th birthday. What a great present! My nephew Elijah is going to have TWO baby cousins to play with! Praise God for creating and sustaining life!

Mom's treatment

Well, Tim's mom made it into the hospital today for the first round of her bone marrow/stem cell transplant. Off to a bit of a rough start. She and Dad, with Tim's sisters, left the house at 7:00am. They would have gotten to the hospital roughly an hour after that. She did not get a room until well after 3:00 in the afternoon! Hopefully the rest of the stay will be better. For the next five days, she will be undergoing chemo for nearly 11 hours each day. Intense. Pray for her and the family that this difficult phase will be over quickly, that her body responds well to the chemo, and that her spirit and mind will be filled with peace.

Two things:
One: Jason and Shannon had their baby! Elijah Jason was born Tuesday, January 15! We are so excited, it has been a LONG time in coming; and has been such a proof of God's unfailing faithfulness. Besides, he is SO cute!

Two: For those of you who didn't know yet, we are pregnant also! We are due on July 27. Perhaps a girl this time? We are already excited to see baby. I am not sure that Jeremiah and Logan will make it to July~they are bursting with excitement and plans already. Quote: "Mom, when the baby is born and needs a room, and needs the crib, Logan can sleep with me. I will move my pillow over so he can share this bed..." Jeremiah, bedtime, describing his willingness to sacrifice for baby.

Tim's Mom

After many months of questions and concerns, of fear and faith, Tim's mom is in remission! She received a phone call around Christmas day from her nurse to let her know that the cancer is gone. So, since her body has been without chemo for almost a month now, she is feeling great. I am posting a picture of her and dad at Christmas.
We visited her and the rest of the family in Chicago this weekend. It was wonderful to see her healthy and full of energy again. She will begin the next phase of her treatment, the bone-marrow transplant, next week. Pray for her as she takes on the next stage of the fight. It will be long and hard. But God is faithful. He has brought her this far, He will continue to carry her on.
