Ryder is home with his family!! I'm so pleased that our baby is finally home! Now we can start a new chapter in our lives! I can focus on my 3 little birds! They really help me to stay strong and positive! They make me smile even when I'm crying...that's pretty powerful!
Thank you so much for all your kind words! I'm feeling better today...I guess I just needed to get over the shock! I really went in there thinking everything would be fine, I had high hopes! I got on the Internet last night and read some message boards like Young Survivors, BreastCancer.org, etc. Reading these message boards helped calm my fears! There are so many courageous women out there fighting this same battle! I'm not alone and I have so many wonderful people pulling for me and my family!
I have my CAT and Bone scans next Wednesday, I can't wait any longer. I need to know! I meet with my oncologist on Monday to determine the next chemo treatment and I meet with the radiation oncologist the following Monday.
Thank you again for all the kind words and inspirations!

CONGRATS TO ALL!! Welcome home Baby Ryder! What a roller coaster of emotions you all must be feeling right now! Now, you will truly get to enjoy your new addition to the family! Can't wait to see updated pics of the 3 kids together! What a blessing....Love Amber Turner and family
I am so happy for you as I know you have been patiently waiting for him to come home. I pray and think of you and your family every day. You are such a dear friend to me and you have such a great attitude about everything. Keep strong and just take this as a small setback. You will get through this as you did before. Remember I am here for you as well as your other friends and family. Give that little bundle of joy a kiss and hug for me as well as Ella and Pierce. I can't wait to meet him.
Love you

Well, you certainly have been through a lot these past few months. Remarkable challenges met with fortitude that few possess. Everyone can take note from your experiences and improve themselves in some small way. We are extremely proud of you, your family and little Ryder. Continue to hang in there and know we think of you often. Rodger

We're so happy that Ryder is finally home with you!! He will bring such joy to you, Alex, and his darling brother and sister!! It was so nice to hear the happiness in your entry again!! Just focus on the joy those beautiful children will bring you, and let God handle the rest!! You are a fighter, and you will surely beat this!!! Oh, and have fun trying to get pictures of 3 toddlers together-it's like trying to put a cat in a bag!!! :) But, just enjoy the effort!!

Jual, so glad to see Ryder home with you. You all look so beautiful! As always you all are in my thoughts and prayers, stay strong! Love, Wendi
What a beautiful family you are! You don't know just how often I think of you! I'm constantly trying to send you thoughts of strength! Don't discourage - you are so strong and so beautiful! You're a model for me Jual! Have faith and know that you can get through anything, better off for it in the end!
Love to you and yours!
Welcome home Ryder!! We know what it's like to come home without your baby and it is a very unnatural feeling - it'sjust not right until you're all together under one roof! However, we cannot even begin to imagine what the rest of what you're going through is like. You and Alex are being put through the test of a lifetime right now. We are in awe of both of you - your strength through all of this is absolutley incredible. Our prayers and thoughts are with you more than you can know and please let us know if there's anything at all we can do to help. Remember, we're just around the corner! Love from the Nielsens
Jual,
we just got home from Mass. In his homily today our Deacon talked about surrender.
I was crushed when I read your blog last Thursday. Then I read all the beautiful posts about how courageous you are (which you and Alex are) and how you have to fight.
surrender or fight?
Surrender to the Lord and fight with all your might for you and your family.
We love you, Jual, and we are praying every day for you, Alex, and your three beautiful children.
Love,
Uncle Ray & Aunt Jenny
Jual,
