God is Good! After a rough five days Madison woke up from a two hour nap @ 8pm feeling and looking great. She hasn't eaten in two days and is now eating Oreos and a banana! She is also dancing to Joy FM! After she woke up I turned on the radio and guess what song was playing.... Stay focused on God! Prayers do work!

Chemo is over... The destruction that it does to ones body is.... (No word to describe). With tears falling I'm so glad we are done with that storm.. From here on out God will be carrying us.. A dear friend shared this with me this week... God knew I would need it today. Isaiah 43:2 When you pass through the waters, Please pray for Madison. The transplant will be @ 11am tomorrow.This Should be uneventful similar to receiving blood except it's bone marrow. The next 10 days will be rough on her little body. Please pray it all goes smoothly and her body takes the transplant. Thank you God for all the people you have put around us... One day! One day of chemo left before transplant! The old me would wish tomorrow would go fast or not exist at all, but every day is a blessing and I'm learning (slowly) that something good or a lesson comes from every day. I am however praying for an uneventful day! I'm praying for our friend (she is four years old). She was diagnosed with AML this past Spring. We meet this sweetie three weeks ago when Madison got her broviac. She is a ball of fun and reminded us so much of our Harrison. This week she has been very sick and my heart hurts for her and her mother. Please pray the rough days are over and healing happens! I've learned on this journey even more that life isn't about ourselves! The bible has it right... Love God and then love others! ***Challenge****** Pay it Forward... (For example, Say hello to a complete stranger tomorrow, buy someone's gasoline, send a card to someone you haven't talked to in over a year, or whatever else God puts on your heart). This picture sums up our day. Madison had a rough day. As we were dancing to 99.1 (Joy FM), I looked in the window to see this reflection. As we are on this journey separated our hearts are still all together. This picture is not only what is going on around us, but inside of us. Today was the hardest day so far both emotional and physically. It's these days that your faith is truly tested, that your motherly instinct goes into play, and your heart grows and aches. Several times today, I found myself thinking of the ultimate sacrifice. God sent his son Jesus Christ to die on the cross of our sins. Jesus suffered so we could have eternal life in heaven. The love for a child is beyond words. Thank you God for all you have done for us even on days like today. This chemo isn't very nice to Madison. She gets sick and sneezes as soon as it finishes. To make her feel better we did an extra long bath tonight. Please pray they can get the second broviac line to work... As of now only one works😥. A big special thank you to my dear friend (sister) Debbie Hall! She has been down three times this week, ran and got things I've needed, ran errands, and most of all just brought her calming spirit to Madison and I. Words can't express how much she means to me and my family! I love you so much and thankful for you every day!!!! Thank you for always bringing out the best in me! (Also, thank you John for be so understanding) |
