Prayers...

In April, 2010, when Andrew was 2 1/2, a tumor was discovered behind his eye. The tumor was removed, but it was found to be an aggressive cancer. He endured seven months of chemo and six weeks radiation. In December of 2010, the day after his last treatment, he was rushed to the ER with an almost fatal bacterial infection. He survived.

He is now seven-years-old!! I don't visit here much, because during the ordeal, this is where I dumped everything--my rage, my fear, my sadness, my ugly, my hope, my everything. But I want all of you who supported and prayed for us to hear his updates. You helped me survive, and I am deeply thankful. Every once in awhile, I will check in to let you know how he's doing. Please continue to pray that cancer will never return to his body. Thank you.

Ta Da!

Andrew's latest phrase whenever he shows me something is
"Ta Da!"
So I will do likewise:

I am finally posting hats,
Ta Da!!

Geez you people have overwhelmed us!
Package after package!
So sweet.
But every time I sat down to write a post,
There were three more boxes to open.
So I kept collecting and collecting
and taking pictures.
Sooooo finally...
 (with five more hats here on my shelf)
 I am posting.

An awesome dragon hat for the colder weather.


I already have five more!!
He is still completely bald,
so still sporting the headwear.
But, today I did notice a little eyelash stubble...
:)
Thank you all so much.
