Great News!!!!


We have great news to share!!!


In April when I was first diagnosed, I had a tumor blood count of 96. On June 27 it was a 67. As of last Thursday, my tumor count is 18!!!!!!! A count 1-30 is considered normal!!! So I'm considered normal again!!! ;-) I'm so relieved!!

More good news...

Ryder is off his apnea monitor!!! He went for his re-evaluation and the last episode that was recorded was on Sept. 12 but it was nothing significant. So for 1 month there were no episodes recorded. He is free of monitor!!! Yippy! He weighs 9lbs. 12oz! WOW!

Thank you for all your prayers....they seem to be working!!! Thank you so much!!!!

I always knew you were normal. I think we just hit a bump in the road the past year but we are over it now and don't ever plan to revisit that bump! Let's keep our thoughts positive, our prayers strong and our souls thankful! I love you very much!
Love, MOM

WOW!! Great news!!! I am so happy for you!!! Normal again!! But just remember, you're not normal--you're extraordinary!!! Although I guess from a medical standpoint normal is perfect!! Keep your positive outlook and keep showing that Grace that we all see in you!!

Enjoy every second with your precious babies!! You deserve it!!!

OH JUAL! What great news! Lynn came in today and shared your blog page with me. This is beautiful. I have read the whole thing! You have reaffirmed the fact that you are such a special person. Your positive attitude and faith are key. Congrats on such a beautiful and loving family. Great news about the monitor. Your little boy is growing up! You truly are blessed in so many ways. Thanks for sharing and really putting your feelings and thoughts on paper (so to say).
Sending you much love and continued prayers.
