Caleb had another bout with pain or spasms around his port area. The doctors are still not sure what is causing it, but they have been treating it with pain medications. Yesterday’s was much shorter than the day before, so hopefully those episodes are over. It was so funny (yet sad) yesterday when two women … Read more
The oncologist came by to check on Caleb. He felt the tumor and said it had softened up since yesterday. He said it was hard like marble yesterday with no give. Today it was softer and more mushy. I asked what that meant and he said that the chemotherapy had already started working to shrink … Read more
They finally got Caleb’s fluids where they needed to be to start chemo last night at about 10PM. Unfortunately, that means that this trip – which goes through Sunday – will have chemo starting at 10PM each night, so he’ll be sleeping late and more throughout the day. He did fine with the chemo, but … Read more
It’s been a long time since I was in bed headed for Sleepytown before 10PM, but last night I certainly was. I was asleep within minutes of my head hitting the pillow. I knew I was tired, but didn’t realize just how much until I awoke this morning. I feel so refreshed and ready to … Read more

Tomorrow will be a busy day, but I will try to post any results that we may get from the scan. Today was simply awesome! We had an awesome worship service and Pastor Bowen laid hands and prayed for Caleb in service, followed by an awesome sermon. My whole family was there, which was very … Read more
We had a lot of decisions to make yesterday after learning what the treatment plan is. With every decision we make in preparation, I am still saying, “I believe we receive Your healing!” We know that God can and will remove this thing completely in a flash. We have seen and heard of Him doing … Read more
We received a call from our oncologist today that the results are back from the Mayo Clinic. They have diagnosed it as Ewings Sarcoma. It is a rare form of cancer that is mostly found in pre-teens and mostly in boys. We are to meet with the oncologist tomorrow for more information and to discuss … Read more
In early August, we went to Jacksonville for a quick 2-day beach trip before school started back. We had a close family friend that was there on vacation and their daughter had become very sick and they took her to the hospital where they discovered that she was diabetic and would have died had she … Read more
