Sarah Anne Hicks Welcome to Sarah Anne's Web Page. Sarah Anne was diagnosed at the young age of 2 1/2 with Pre b cell Acute Lymphocytic Leukemia on May 1, 2000. She achieved complete remission on June 5, 2000 and then went through 2 1/2 years of chemotherapy treatments to prevent the leukemia cells from returning. Sarah Anne officially completed her treatment protocol (POG9605) on November 6, 2002.
Sarah Anne is now in her 5th year off treatment which, requires her to be checked only once a year to make sure she is still in remission. Sarah Anne is a cancer survivor and is living proof of God's grace and todays advancements in fighting cancer in children. Please continue to pray with us that our little girl is cured for life and for all the precious children that are just now beginning their fight!

Well, for the few that still occasionally stop by to check on our family we just wanted to let you know that all is going pretty good with us. Health wise, Sarah Anne seems to be doing great. Sarah Anne is also still doing great in school despite the many trials we have had transitioning from elementary school to middle school. She continues to amaze us with her ability to endure and persevere through the toughest of situations. She is a member of the Junior Beta Club, she just wrapped up playing basketball and she is about to start cheerleading again for this fall. She is staying busy and growing into a beautiful young lady. We thank God for his blessing in her life.
Emma Grace is growing up as well. It is hard to believe that she only has one more year in elementary school and then she will have to transition to middle school. She is a straight A student and takes part in the gifted classes offered at WES. Of our three, she is definitely the biggest clown. But she also has a huge heart to go along with her silly personality. Emma also just finished up basketball and was even voted the best all around player on her team.
Believe or not we registered our little Jonah for kindergarten last week. Can you believe it? This August all three of our kids will be in school. Needless, to say it was kind of sad to realize that our last child was now old enough to be in school. Jonah is playing his first year in baseball. It is coach pitch and so far he is loving every minute of it. He is a sports nut! To be so little he is pretty dang good.
With Jonah being in school soon and with the economy tanking we decided that now was the time for Kelly to go back to work. We were so fortunate to have a friend (who owns his own company, www.eWAM.com) offer Kelly a great part-time job that allows her to take and pick up the kids from school. It has definitely been an adjustment for our family but all in all we believe it is going to work great.
God is really doing some amazing things within our church. There has not been too many Sunday's in 2009 where we have not started our 11am service with baptism. We are seeing so many new families come to know Jesus as their Savior and follow through with believers baptism. The best part of Children's Ministry is seeing God work in the lives of children and their parents. Pretty amazing!
I guess that is it for now. Thanks for continuing to check on Sarah Anne and our family.
God Bless!
