I hope you had a great party full of cake and presents! And I hope that you are feeling better soon. Luv, Julianna Banana <tjosephson@shaw.ca> Winnipeg, Canada - Tuesday, October 25, 2005 0:02 AM CDT Hi Sprague Family, I am sorry to hear that the flu shot has caused Andrew and Kim to feel sick! Some years, we are all fine, and other years, my arm swells up, and I feel horrible for a few days. I am taking the girls in for their shots this week, and then Mark and I will have ours over the weekend, so hopefully, this won't be a yucky year for me! I pray that everything turns out to be o.k. with Andrew's port, and that the docs don't have to do anything to fix it! ER docs don't always know everything, so hopefully the oncologist won't be worried. We are all very sorry about the loss of your friend, John. It is never o.k. for a child to be taken at such a young age. His family will remain in our prayers. Love, Debbie Deb Whaley <syracuse84@cox.net> Ladera Ranch, CA - Monday, October 24, 2005 4:37 PM CDT Happy Birthday (a little belated) Andrew!!!! I am so excited that you are 5 now!

Briana Roehling Pflugerville, TX - Monday, October 24, 2005 9:20 AM CDT Andrew, I'm glad to hear you had such a fun birthday celebration week! I've very impressed with the Spiderman cupcakes--did your mom make those? If so, she's just as crafty as you:) I hope you're feeling better and have a very short hospital stay. Kim and Doug, my prayers continue to be with you and Andrew, and the Taggart family. I can't imagine how difficult it must be to have good friends send their young child on to Heaven.

I think that if you or Christine told her that you wanted the moon, she would find a way to get it for you, but that is what grandparents are for! Thanks so much for letting us stop in to say happy birthday, last night! It was so nice of you to share the candy from your piniata with us, and to show us how your very cool Hot Wheels fun house works. I loved the photo album that your mom and dad showed us. You have grown up so much, little man! We all hope that your celebration at school was lots of fun, and that your class enjoyed all of the candy! Rachel and Mikayla still want to stop by to give you a birthday hug, so I will need to talk to your mom to see when we can do that!

We all remember those Chuck E. Cheese days when we descended like a storm, through the doors with a bunch of happy kids, riding high on adrenaline! How we miss those days! It is so wonderful to hear that you guys are carrying on the tradition. Kim, this IS your labor day, and what a special day it is, because it is the day that you worked with all of your heart to bring your incredible little boy into this world! I can definately relate, because I did the same thing with both Aleah and Rachel, only to end up with C-sections the next day, after LOTS of very hard work!(we got smart with Gabriella and Mikayla, and scheduled after that!) Oh well, none of that matters anymore, what matters is that Aleah is in college, now and Rach is a sophomore in high school. I just know that you can look foward to the same kind of nostalgia with Andrew and Christine! God bless your wonderful family! You all deserve much happiness.

Love, The Whaley Family Deb Whaley <syracuse84@cox.net> Ladera Ranch, CA - Friday, October 14, 2005 9:58 PM CDT Andrew, your week sounds so fun. Did you take any pictures with your crazy hair? I hope you and Gramma J. have a great time at school today. You're so lucky to have such a dear grandma close by to have fun with you and your sister. I continue to pray for your body to heal, and for the chemotherapy to keep away your cancer with minimal side effects. Your family and friends (Gregory and John) are also in our prayers. It always makes me feel better to know that the "communion of saints", on earth and in heaven, are praying for my needs, so I hope it makes YOU feel better too. Root on the Trojans this weekend. It's the big game against Notre Dame! Karen Craig Billnitzer <reader@verizon.net> RPV, CA - Friday, October 14, 2005 12:48 AM CDT School sounds soooo fun Andrew and so happy you're back on track having fun!!!

Briana Roehling Pflugerville, TX - Thursday, October 13, 2005 8:57 AM CDT Just wanted to let you know that I check in on Andrew often, and think of you often. I am SO glad to read that Andrew is doing so well. Suzy www.tannerlaughs.NET (my awesome kid) www.caringbridge.org/ca/rebeccalynn (My awesome niece) Suzy <tanlaughs1@aol.com> Rivererside/Grand Terrace, CA - Tuesday, October 11, 2005 8:04 AM CDT Dear Andrew and family, We were happy to hear that you had a good weekend planned, and I hope you were full of energy and smiles for all those fun activities. It's also great that you're back on 100 percent chemo - Sam hasn't been on 100 percent for quite awhile now, but we're trying not to worry ;) And Andrew, we hear that you want to be a doctor that does bone marrow aspirates when you grow up. We are sure that you will be awesome at that, and that all the kids and parents will request you specifically. All of our continuing best wishes to all of you.... Jennifer (Sam's mama) caringbridge.org/canada/sam <samno@telus.net> Vancouver, Canada - Monday, October 10, 2005 5:40 PM CDT Kim and Doug, How wonderful to hear that Andrew's blood counts are good! I'll keep praying that his body is able to withstand the chemo and that the enemy stays away. I've also been praying for Andrew's friends John and Gregory. It's incredibly sad to hear about their struggles with cancer, yet it's also inspiring--these kids are so brave (like Andrew) and the parents are so strong in their faith. Thank you for "introducing" us to so many heroes:) Julie <julesmh@hotmail.com> Monmouth Junction, NJ - Friday, October 7, 2005 3:43 PM CDT Hi Andrew: Thank you for all your wonderful letters you have been sending Baby Sammy. She smiles every time I read your messages to her. Take care and you are constantly in our prayers! Maybe your mom and I can set up a play date for you, Sammy and Christine! Love, Jill and Samantha Hill Jill Hill <mikeandjill03@aol.com> Wildomar, Ca USA - Friday, October 7, 2005 3:19 PM CDT I never thought I could be so excited to hear about MORE chemo, but I'm so glad his counts are so good! I so wanted to be a part of the CHOC walk this weekend, and I really was close to joining, but it didn't work out. I can tell you all had a wonderful time, and hopefully I'll catch it next year when Andrew is even bigger and stronger. Hugs and Prayers, Katie (www2.caringbridge.org/ca/kathryn) <kt.irvin@gmail.com> Bakersfield, CA United States - Friday, October 7, 2005 10:36 AM CDT Stopping by to say hello! Thinking of you all and praying. Angela Angela, Alyssa, and ^i^ Jacob <angela.trick@gmail.com> Peterborough, Ontario, Canada - Thursday, October 6, 2005 8:52 AM CDT Hi Guys, I am praying that Andrew's counts have gone up so that he can receive his full doses of chemo! I hope that all of the results were good, today! There aren't many reasons that I would get up at 5:45 a.m. to walk four miles, but Andrew is definately one of them! Because of my illness, I have trouble getting out of bed much before noon, these days, but Andrew just inspires me to get that adrenaline pumping! I admit that holding up the rear at the walk, was more because of me, than my girls carrying Andrew, but I so enjoyed his company! I cannot tell you how much joy our family got out of hanging out with him and Christine! They are such wonderful kids! I especially enjoyed it when Andrew called me "M'am"! Such a polite young man. You guys are doing a wonderful job with both of them! Christine is just a doll baby, surely a princess in her own right. Janice, it was so great seeing you, again, and being able to give you a big hug in person! Truly one of the highlights of the morning. You are such a special grandma,and I meant what I said about adopting you! We have already "adopted" the rest of the Spragues, so we need grandma J, too! It was nice meeting your old boss and her husband. So wonderful of them to come out for the walk to support your family. Kim and Doug, I commend you for the wonderful job that you are doing in the face of such adversity. You guys are such terrific parents. You are not only teaching your children to be good people, but you are also teaching them how important it is to give back to others. You both set such a great example for Andrew and Chrisitne, and children tend to learn by what their parents "do", and not only by what they say. You are both very special people, and have created two very special children! I know how difficult it is for you to take charge of our team each year, but you make it look effortless! The tee-shirts were beyond adorable, and our team was an impressive sight! Thank you for your hard work! I am only sorry that things were tainted by the obscene slogans that ran rampant amoungst the Gay Day participants who put very little concern into who would be viewing their disgusting tee-shirts at the park. I know that it only takes a few bad individuals to draw attention that even members of their own group would find repulsive, but unfotunately, it sheds a very bad light on something, that should otherwise remain private. Here we were, trying to do something that would save the lives of children, and these jerks were parading around trying to draw attention to their unimportant little lives. I am so sad that Disney took the stance of not caring, but it doesn't really surprise me. Enough said.... Please take good care, and remember that if you guys walk again next year, we will be right by your side, even if it is dark and early! We love you! Debbie Deb Whaley <syracuse84@cox.net> Ladera Ranch, CA - Wednesday, October 5, 2005 10:05 PM CDT Andrew, you have another friend in North Idaho that you didn't know about. I hope you and Mom and other family are doing really good today and you feel just awesome! Take care of yourself. Sparrow Ivy <wheresmyfortune@aol.com> Sandpoint, ID USA - Wednesday, October 5, 2005 11:11 AM CDT Hi Andrew: Baby Samantha says hi and that she really enjoyed seeing your pictures at the CHOC Walk. I'm glad you have been getting fun time in lately and less hospital. We will be praying for your counts to go up. Love, Jill and Samantha Hill Jill Hill <mikeandjill03@aol.com> Wildomar, Ca - Tuesday, October 4, 2005 4:04 PM CDT I'm glad to hear that the CHOC Walk was a success. I enjoyed the pictures! Andrew is in my prayers. Briana Roehling Pflugerville, TX - Tuesday, October 4, 2005 10:15 AM CDT Hi Andrew! I had so much fun with you at the CHOC Walk today! It was nice to finally meet Bailey the other half of the Cancer Cuties Team. I am so proud of both of you. So many friends old and new came out to walk the walk. Seeing the Whaley family and all the Tesoro Cheer Team again was very special. They have all been so supportive of you and CHOC. It gave me a chance to see Maureen and Gary again too. All the Disney Characters where there again!!! How special was that?? I think they really really love all the children from CHOC because they are always at the walk and they visit you in the hospital too. Princess Christine looked so cute walking for her big brother. Have fun doing the regular Disney stuff the rest of the day...I came home to take a nap. I love you, Andrew. Grandma J <jannield@comcast.net> costa mesa, ca - Sunday, October 2, 2005 2:23 PM CDT Andrew, Enjoy your CHOC walk this weekend! I can't wait to hear how much fun you have on the walk. I can't be there since I live in NJ, but I sponsored you:) I'm glad you got to play in your soccer game last weekend (you and your friend look adorable in the uniforms) and enjoyed seeing your other pictures.

The Choc Walk is coming up and Kimberly will be walking with a few of her friends she is hoping she will see you there. Andrew probably won't remember her but Kim, she talks of the many times you and her talked while wating for clinic appointments. November will be her 1 year off treatment Yeah!!!!!!!

Briana Roehling Pflugerville, TX - Monday, September 26, 2005 10:32 AM CDT Hi Andrew- I thank God every day that you are able to live life the way many 5 year old boys do...I love your photo updates. You and your sister are so cute- and so loving and compassionate to be thinkig of other people outside of yourself and your situation. This is what life is all about- giving back to people who have made an impression on our lives one way or another. Thank you for being so brave---what courage. I look forward to seeing you at the CHocwalk and giving you a high five and/or hug.... you are the best....You are so fortunate to have 2 loving parents, a loving sister and big, loving family... I am so happy God granted you all of these people to be a part of your life! You are tough buddy- In and under God's protection - you will prevail- I can't wait for the day to come to see you reflect on this obstacle in your life and know how much you are loved. You are the greatest inspiration to us all. Valeire Farrell RSM, CA USA - Sunday, September 25, 2005 11:28 PM CDT Go Sharks! I'm so happy that you are getting to do all the normal stuff boys your age do. You and Brandon look like great buddies. I'm sure Pastor Dick and Great-Grandma are happy with that nice balloon, notes and pictures. That was so nice of you and I'm sure it means a lot to Pastor Dick's family and the whole Sprague family. That's one heck of a hug you are giving Beauty! She loves you very much too...always wanting to get you stuff when she's with me and asking to call you. It's no wonder because you are so loving to her too. I can hardly wait to stroll through Disney with you and all your friends and supporters of CHOC. Then we have Grandparents Day at Stoneybrooke school. I hope they have craft stuff to do together....and snack time too. Lots of hugs and kisses to you, Christine, Mommy and Daddy. Love Grandma J I have been praying really hard for our buddy John Taggart, that Jesus will cure him of cancer.

I bet he would look so cute w/ his hair all spikey...maybe you can still do it at the hospital for him. I will pray that its only a bug!

Tina & Lance <lancejrmommy@comcast.net> - Wednesday, August 17, 2005 12:01 AM CDT Oh Andrew, what a bummer that you have a nasty bug and are at CHOC instead of being crazy with your friends at soccer camp. I pray that Jesus will quickly rid your system of that rotten infection and that you will return to your exciting school preparations. May Jesus bring good health and rest and peace to your sister and mommy and daddy too. Karen Craig Billnitzer <reader@verizon.net> RPV, CA - Wednesday, August 17, 2005 11:22 AM CDT Hi Andrew, I'm sorry to hear you are off to the hospital instead of soccer camp. That is no fun at all! Here's what you do to make up for missing wacky hair day. When you get your jersey, go to the store and get the spray paint for hair that matches the jersey color and then for you first game, spray your hair and all the other kids on your team. That's what the kids here do. There are lots of different colors of hair on the fields on Saturdays. I hope you get out soon. I'm praying for you. Briana Roehling Pflugerville, TX - Wednesday, August 17, 2005 11:08 AM CDT Andrew, I'm so sorry you have to miss out on soccer camp. That's really stinky. I pray for a quick recovery, and for you to be home soon. Stay strong Andrew, keep your head up and before you know it your last year and a half of treatment will be over and you will be CURED. God bless you. Carol Carol Zeissner <Carol.Zeissner@rdmd.ocgov.com> Buena Park, CA US A - Wednesday, August 17, 2005 9:04 AM CDT Oh no, Andrew! I hope your visit to Choc is short...when is this cancer going to leave kids alone? I know how excited you have been about soccer and getting ready for school..this just doesn't seem fair does it? Maybe you can get your nurses to have a whacky Wednesday at the hospital, call me and let me know and I will bring you some gel. I pray that this fever is the same bug Christine had, and you get out of CHOC fast! But that still ruins your week, a week you have been really looking forward to. You have been such a brave warrior for over two years, and so has Mommy and Daddy. Hang in there buddy..I love you Grandma <jannield@comcast.net> costa mesa, ca - Wednesday, August 17, 2005 7:59 AM CDT Andrew, My prayers are with you as you re-enter the hospital! I pray that your body will heal quickly so that you can get back to enjoying soccer and school preparations. I also pray that Christine recovers quickly from her bug, and that Mommy and Daddy get some rest and peace during this crazy week. Julie <julesmh@hotmail.com> Monmouth Junction, NJ - Wednesday, August 17, 2005 7:26 AM CDT Dear Andrew, I was having a bad day today and I asked the Lord for some strength to get me through. Well he came through for me, I was reading an e-mail today from a friend and your web site was on the bottom. I was curious about who they were asking to pray for, so I looked and I found you. I only thought I was having a bad day! I want to thank you for making me feel better. I only wish I could make it that simple for you. I have asked the Lord for your continued recovery. And to continue to be with you and your family in the tough times. I again thank you for my inspiration today. Sincerely, Joanne Lyle Joanne Lyle <vtxgofast@aol.com> Merritt Island, Fl US - Tuesday, August 16, 2005 2:52 PM CDT I'm so glad to read stories of Christine and Andrew enjoying thier time. I know what a tough time he has been through and am so very happy to read that he is doing well and enjoying "normal" kid stuff. Keep up the fight Andrew! Sue (Katie's Mom/ ALL list); Katie's page Ottawa, Canada - Monday, August 15, 2005 8:01 PM CDT Andrew, have fun at soccer camp. I hope you learn a lot and can't wait to hear about your first game. You are in my prayers. Briana Roehling Pflugerville, TX - Monday, August 15, 2005 8:53 AM CDT Wow, two years ... isn't it amazing how far you have come! Andrew, of course, but your entire family as well. Who knew two years ago that you and Doug would become such advocates for LLS, Team In Training, your hospital walk, etc. He has certainly touched a lot of lives and I'm so happy that he is doing great and will continue to touch lots of lives in the future. Probably starting with soccer camp this week!! :) Kristie (ALL List) Kendrie's Page <kristieokc@cox.net> Byron (Robins AFB), GA - Monday, August 15, 2005 7:38 AM CDT Andrew, I am so excited that you are going to soccer camp this week. You will learn a lot and do a ton of running..that will make your legs so strong! I'm so sorry Beauty threw up today..I bet it seems almost like a strange event when someone else throws up besides you. It's too bad she got it on your new soccer socks :) I'm sure mommy will get them clean as new, and maybe buy you some more. I haven't forgotten about your craft box, you know, the scrapbook one that we saw at Target. My Target ran out, but I will find one for you and Christine. I will pray that you stay well, and your legs don't and you don't get fevers anymore. I hope Christine is feeling better. I love you, grandma J <jannield@comcast.net> costa mesa, ca - Monday, August 15, 2005 0:53 AM CDT Andrew! Two years later and you have kicked cancer in the butt!

Every now and then I check in at the Web site to see how Andrew is doing, and every time I am astounded by your strength. And now, after reading your last couple of entries, I am awed by your honesty. I've often wondered how you and your husband can keep all of the fears at bay, and it seems that, like all parents, but especially those with a child fighting a disease, you've experienced fear as well. I admire your strength & courage to continue to believe in best life has to offer, and even through these adversities, you've still managed to enjoy your children and show them as normal a life as possible. You've been blessed with amazing strength, and you, Andrew, and the rest of your family are in my thoughts & prayers. Andrea Trbovich <atrbovich@earthlink.net> Las Flores, CA USA - Friday, August 12, 2005 1:42 AM CDT Sharks! What a great name for a soccer team. My son's team is the Raptors. We are having our kick off meeting this Sunday. I hope you have a great season! Briana Roehling Pflugerville, TX - Wednesday, August 10, 2005 11:18 AM CDT Hi Andrew, Glad you are enjoying your summer. Sharks is a great name. I have a shark on the wall at my house. My husband caught it while fishing. I will think of your team everytime I look at it. Have a great day. Carol <carol.murray@rdmd.ocgov.com> Garden Grove, CA USA - Wednesday, August 10, 2005 9:52 AM CDT Andrew, Wow! Hope you enjoy being on a soccer team! I'm so impressed that you can swim the whole length of the pool! I wish you lived closer to New Jersey, so you could teach/motivate my son Trey to swim (his little sister can swim underwater a few breaths). Enjoy the rest of the summer:) Can I sponsor your team for the CHOC walk? Sorry I'm too far away to walk in it with you. Julie <julesmh@hotmail.com> Monmouth Junction, NJ - Wednesday, August 10, 2005 9:21 AM CDT Good morning Andrew, How cool, you are a SHARK! That's a great name for a winning soccer team. Do you remember Howie at my work? Well he was a Shark too when he was little, now that's his nickname....and he liked being a Shark so much he even put that name on the license plate on his truck, AND he had sharks in a fish tank in his house, but they jumped out and tried to run away, but sharks can't run. Maybe next year you can be a Blue Bear. Not all teams have mean names...just look at the CA Angels!! Let me know when you have your first game so I can come cheer you on. When do you start school? I am praying for our buddy John Taggart, and so are all our friends at my work. God bless you Andrew, and keep up being such a good Shark! grandma <jannield@comcast.net> costa mesa, ca - Wednesday, August 10, 2005 8:13 AM CDT Hi Andrew, Glad your enjoying Soccer and swimming, it sounds like a lot of fun! I know Sharks sound mean, but just think of the nicer sharks in Nemo that didn't eat fish, remember :) I hope you have a great season! Good luck with pre-Kindergarten and the CHOC walk too! I'm praying for you!

It just blows me away how fast time passes when it comes to our amazing little ones. And Andrew truly earns that "amazing" badge! Way to persevere buddy, I can't stay on a diet for 2 weeks, let alone go through the nasty treatment that you have had for the past 2 years! I can only aspire to your kind of perseverence, Andrew. And best of luck with junior kindergarten and soccer!! Terry Josephson, Julianna Banana's dad <tjosephson@shaw.ca> Winnipeg, Canada - Monday, August 8, 2005 4:33 PM CDT Dear Sprague Family, Thanks so much for the touching update. I don't think I will ever understand why a little boy would have to go through so much. It breaks my heart to think of the things that Andrew has endured during the last 2 years. He is such a special little boy, and we pray that God will continue to guide you and all of his healthcare providers towards a healthy life for Andrew. He deserves nothing less. You are such a strong, loving, cohesive family, with so much to offer others. Kim and Doug, I know that you will come out of this experience to mentor and share with others, the things that you have learned. Please take good care, and know that we love you all. Love, Debbie Debbie Whaley <syracuse84@cox.net> Ladera Ranch, CA - Monday, August 8, 2005 3:46 PM CDT Hi Andrew! How are you doing? I just wanted to wish you a happy anniversary on your continuous journey and let you know you are in my thoughts and prayers.

It's heartbreaking to hear of some of the tough times you've had, but inspiring to hear how you've overcome them (or are overcoming them) with God's help. I'm one of your newer prayer partners, and I will be there for you for many years! I pray that you're able to enjoy Jr.K and soccer without experiencing any of the "bugs" that go with childhood.

I keep looking at our picture from the CHOC walk and it just reminds me of how much fun we had. I can't wait to do it again, are you going to have a team again? If so, you need to let me know so I can start lifting some weights so I can carry you around the park again (hahah). Well now that I'm back from Africa, we need to hang out. I miss you and I hope to talk to you soon! In Christ, Dawn Green Dawn Green <Dawn.N.Green@biola.edu> Irvine, Ca USA - Saturday, August 6, 2005 5:07 PM CDT Wow Andrew, two years since you began this tough battle. You continue to be a brave, strong (and adorable) inspiration to us all. We love you! The Redd Family <theredds@cox.net> Ladera Ranch, CA - Saturday, August 6, 2005 5:04 PM CDT Dear Andrew, It's so hard to believe you have been traveling this path for two years. I can only imagine how long that must be for a big boy like you. I remember Mommy calling me at work on your way to CHOC and how my heart sank to the pit of my stomach when I heart the word leukemia. I remember coming to the hospital, and when we were alone, while Mommy and Daddy were talking to the doctor you said "Grandma, let'go, let's go to your house". Somehow, just for an instant I thought that was a good idea...just like Forrest Gump.....run, and just keep running. But we stayed, and you stood strong and faced the demon and you are winning! You have grown in so many ways, and your faith in our Lord is just one of them. You have taught me to grow too. I loved watching you as a two year old introduce yourself to grown ups and hand them your business card, telling them to "leave me a message"...and so many have, and many more too shy to leave a message have your card posted as a daily reminder of one strong brave warrior. Over the past two years so much has changed, they finally finished painting IHOP so we could go back (when you were no longer in lock down)even though you noticed they didn't do a good job:). Your favorite snack is no longer Yayo's (marsmallows), you know the complete menu of every fast food restaurant in town, you no longer get *too excited when Maureen gives you pennies to jingle in your pocket, but ask me (privately) "doesn't she have any dollars"?, you know medical terms and what they mean more than most adults. Now sweet Andrew you are off the Junior Kindergarten where you will wear a uniform and do some major projects in crafts (let's hope!), and play soccer like all the other children your age. How cool that Daddy will be your coach! I pray that you continue down this road of *normal know that our Lord Jesus is by your side. I sent you and Christine a craft project, and I can't wait to see how they turn out...also, I told the mailman to get those stickers to you ASAP!! I love you Andrew, you are my big brave boy. Loads of kisses and hugs to you, Christine, Mommy and Coach Daddy. grandma J <jannield@comcast.net> costa mesa, ca - Saturday, August 6, 2005 10:10 AM CDT ((((((((((((((Kim))))))))))))))) I am praying for continued blessings on Andrew and your family. I will also be praying for the situation with his physical therapy. Have you looked into other PT options?

I'm so grateful to Jesus for the healings and blessings that He has wrought in your life during that time. You've been a very brave boy and have put up with a lot of yucky stuff. Keep up your good work as you continue on your treatment path. Please tell your mommy and daddy that we will continue to pray for you and your family. We will pray that you have lots and lots of fun with your sports teams and your classmates. And we'll pray that you don't get too many germs or viruses from the other kids while you're enjoying all your new activities. We'll ask the Lord to place a special shield of protection around your whole body and all its parts so that you can grow and develop without negative side effects from the treatment and medicines that you're taking. Everything is possible for Jesus who loves us more than we can imagine!

Enjoy each beautiful day! Love, Kelsey, Faith and Colleen-ALL Kids <colleencadaret@sbcglobal.net> Tahoe City, CA - Saturday, July 23, 2005 8:59 PM CDT Hi Andrew, are you staying cool? We've been so hot this week that we've been going into Lauren's wading pool twice a day. I bet you've been wanting to get wet too! I was really happy to hear about the good results on your tests. You're a hard worker and a brave boy. And we have a loving Heavenly Father, don't we. We'll keep you in our prayers. Karen Craig Billnitzer <reader@verizon.net> RPV, CA - Saturday, July 23, 2005 8:33 PM CDT Have a good weekend! Jaime caringbridge.org/nj/jaimelynn <jaime13042@aol.com> nj usa - Saturday, July 23, 2005 12:33 AM CDT Hello Andrew and Family, Just thought I would write ya a quick greeting to see how things were. Glad to hear ya are still at home. Much better than in hospital. How are you enjoyin' this heat we are having? Hope ya are staying cool by swimming tons. I'm doing all right. Have a couple of job opportunities so excited about that. Having work is always a plus especially when I could possibly meet another cutie pie like you. Of course not as cute as you. Give your sister a big hug and kiss from me and have her do the same to you. Keep smilin' and fighting. That always helps in the end. A positive attitude is worth so much more than medicine can give you. Let me know if ya need anything at all. Miss your smile. Take care big guy. Love ya, Char :) Char <char23rn@yahoo.com> Long Beach, CA USA - Saturday, July 23, 2005 6:13 AM CDT Hi Sprague Family, We are in N.Y. right now, for my grandma's funeral, but I just had to stop by to check on our very favorite little man! I am so sorry to hear that you were back in the hospital, but I am very glad that it was a short stay. I hope that you are all doing better, and that we can get together when we come home! You are ALWAYS in our thoughts and prayers. Love, Debbie Debbie Whaley <syracuse84@cox.net> New York, N.Y. - Friday, July 22, 2005 7:38 PM CDT Andrew, I hope you and Christine are having a blast with Taylor. Did you show her what a great swimmer you are? I'm sorry the Sponge Bob flip flops didn't fit.....you are growing so fast!! You told me that your neighbor's doggie was going to heaven....he will be happy there because my doggie Charlie is there too, and he will be his friend. Jesus loves doggies, and He makes sure they have lots of fun toys and treats. I love you, and hope you continue to stay out of the hospital so you can enjoy this hot hot summer. grandma <jannield@comcast.net> - Friday, July 22, 2005 10:17 AM CDT Hi Andrew, Just wanted to let you know what a brave boy we think you are. I really enjoyed talking to you on the phone the other day while you were in the hospital. Both Bob and I are so glad you're home now and feeling good. Hey Andrew, next time you're in the office again with Dad, let's visit that chip machine together! Bob wants to thank you too for all the prayers you've been sending his way. You take care now and I hope to see you soon. Bob and Gloria Robbins (the chip lady) <grobbins@teamsms.com> Telluride, CO USA - Thursday, July 21, 2005 5:44 PM CDT Andrew, Just wanted to say hi and make sure you had a new message to read when you checked your email:) Hope you and your family are having a good week! It's a hot, humid day in New Jersey, so we're staying inside. We have an exciting (ha) afternoon planned--grocery shopping and swim lessons. We're praying for you! Julie <julesmh@hotmail.com> Monmouth Junction, NJ USA - Thursday, July 21, 2005 10:36 AM CDT Andrew, I'm so glad to hear that you're back home, and hope you're having some summer fun this week in between the meds! I'm so excited to hear how God is working in your life--keep doing those crafts to keep your fine motor skills strong! How soon does your new school start? I bet they'll have fantastic crafts there too:) Julie <julesmh@hotmail.com> Monmouth Junction, NJ USA - Wednesday, July 20, 2005 1:16 PM CDT Hi Andrew, I'm glad to see that you are back home now. Sorry I haven't signed, but I've been having problems with my computer here at work (I guess it wants me to actually work or something!). Anyway, you have been in my prayers. Briana Roehling Pflugerville, TX - Monday, July 18, 2005 9:16 AM CDT Hey Andrew and Family, I had so much fun playing with ya yesterday at work. You made my last day at CHOC very memorable. Andrew I may just have to come visit ya when ya are in the hospital again to play and have our "bathroom conversations!!" That was a cute title you came up with for hanging out in the bathroom with me. We sure talked about a lot and had fun. I am so amazed by your strength. Don't ever loose that no matter what. It will help you beat your cancer. Well, just thought I would write to say HI and to tell you that you have one amazign family. I am so glad that I got to meet y'all. Keep strong and keep your faith. Let me know if there is anything that I can do (seeing as my job is on hold for now! Ya know what I mean!) I can do something if ya need it. Give Andrew a big hug and kiss for me and tell him I say HI. Love ya, Char Char Braaten <char23rn@yahoo.com> Long Beach, CA USA - Saturday, July 16, 2005 9:54 PM CDT Hi Andrew and Family! Praying, Praying, Praying for you! Olivia's Mom Pam Hull <hull_g@bellsouth.net> Covington, GA USA - Saturday, July 16, 2005 8:04 PM CDT Hi Andrew and Mommy and family, Hope you are home and feeling better!! ...and getting to eat good food again!! Unless you are like my son....will NOT touch the hospital food!! I think he knows he will always win that hand because, of course, I want him to eat so we go get whatever it is he will eat!!... I'm sure you don't do that to your mom and dad....... although, I'm pretty sure that it is a law, any kid who has to be in the hospital deserves to be spoiled!!! Especially when they have the cancer card to play!!... Hang in there, Andrew and family!!! I know it is VERY scary when our babies go to the hospital with little worn down bodies. Their bodies are just so tired from fighting the cancer and the constant attack of chemo. I can't stop thinking about what you said about the effects of 3 years and 2 months of chemo on their little bodies. I had conveniently forgotten that part of the story...blocked out completely! I have to consciously stop myself from thinking about it because it will drive me crazy!!!! Then I think about the poem "Just For Today" www2.caringbridge.org/hi/blakeyoung and it always reminds me to enjoy my kids right at that moment and don't wait!! And of course, in a world full of choices....there isn't any choice. If we don't let the Dr's pump our babies full of poison for 3 years and 2 months....we don't get to have them at all!! It's kind of like jumping off a burning boat into an ocean full of sharks and piranhas.... You have to jump, but MAN!!!! What a ride, huh!!! And the 3 years and 2 months stuff......feel likes an eternity, but we are living proof....one day at a time and you will do it!!! I can't tell you how much I appreciate just the gift of the day now! You might already feel that way, I did during treatment. I appreciated that we had caught it in time and even though he was sick from taking yucky chemo...for a very long time....I was thankful because he was here and I could hold him and tell him I loved him. I appreciate our off treatment days now, more than ever! You will too!!! When I'm think that the 3 years and 2 months feels like such a long time to me...I stop and try to imagine what it feels like to a little boy who is constantly being poked with needles that whole time and is taking HOW MANY DIFFERENT chemos that make him feel like poop! Plus all the extra meds to ward off the side effects....not to mention the effects of the steroids!! Being a mom and watching your child fight cancer isn't easy...but I have a feeling that we have the lightest end of that load!! Just know that there are other Moms out there that feel the emotional exhaustion and the constant worry, and the fear so physically real that it feels like it is crushing your heart. I know it doesn't make your experience any easier or less scary, but it always helped me to see other kids and families with ALL when they were off treatment...it gave me hope that we could do it too! Just wanted to try and give you some hope too! I know that the hospital always got me worked up and thought maybe you might need a little support right now. And is it just me...when you walk out into the real world again after staying in the hospital, everything feels SO GERMY!!!! I walked into the grocery store once after a stay, touched the shopping cart and panic literally took over my whole body! I wanted to run out and never go back!!! I could feel the germs thick in the air all around me...I could almost see them at that point!!! Slightly dramatic...I know!! Hope you guys are enjoying all of the wonderful pleasures of home!! And getting to catch up on some sleep...or do they let you sleep at night at your hospital?! Thinking happy thoughts for you!! Love, Brenda Korey's mom www3.caringbridge.org/tx/koreylee Brenda Harris <Brekh9@aol.com> Austin, TX USA - Saturday, July 16, 2005 12:20 AM CDT Andrew and Kim, I'm still praying for you! I'm glad your hospital stay should be short this time--I hope you get to go home to Daddy and Christine today! That's fantastic news that your friend Gregory got to go home this week. I've been following his progress periodically and keep him in my prayers too. Julie <julesmh@hotmail.com> Monmouth Junction, NJ USA - Saturday, July 16, 2005 9:16 AM CDT Hi Everyone, For some reason I can not update the webpage. We are still in the hospital (Friday night), but Andrew seems to be feeling better. His cultures and x-rays are negative thus far, and we hope to go home tomorrow. While here, we were able to see Gregory's sendoff home. We are amazed at the miracles God has done in his life, and after nearly 5 months, he will get to be home with his family. He still has a very tough road, as he is unable to speak or move his limbs. He is also still on a traech, which requires frequent suctioning. Please keep him in your prayers, and consider welcoming him home. www.gregoryconklin.org We were sad to find out that our friend Omar relapsed after his bone marrow transplant. He and his family were a great source of encouragement to us when Andrew was diagnosed. He relapsed in the Fall and we have been praying that his tranpslant went well. Unfortunately, he relapsed again. He requested to go to Mexico to be with extended family, and we expect he will be an angel soon. He was a wonderful young teen, a strong Christian, and we look forward to seeing him in Heaven. Please pray that he is able to go peacefully, and that God comforts his family during this time. I will update more later, and hopefully I can do so on the front page. Love, Kim Kim Sprague <kim.sprague@cox.net> Ladera Ranch, CA USA - Friday, July 15, 2005 11:33 PM CDT Hello Sprague family, I am so sorry to hear that you are in the hospital Andrew!!! Our prayers and thoughts are with all of you and we will be praying that you will be home soon and sleeping in your own bed. Hang in there kiddo. Romero Family <kathiske@cox.net> Mission Viejo, CA USA - Friday, July 15, 2005 6:37 PM CDT Hey, you guys, so sorry to hear that Andrew is inpatient ... and after our recent inpatient stay, my empathy is even more sincere!! :) Hope he is feeling better, and you are home soon! Kristie (ALL List) Kendrie's Page <kristieokc@cox.net> Byron (Robins AFB), GA - Friday, July 15, 2005 8:26 AM CDT Hi Andrew, I'm sorry to hear that you're not feeling well. I hope that you feel better soon. I like the turtles that are on your home page. Did they have turtles at the Rain Forest Cafe? I'm going to talk to Grandma J and see when we can get together and do lunch again. Your friend Carol Carol <carol.murray@rdmd.ocgov.com> Garden Grove, CA USA - Thursday, July 14, 2005 2:49 PM CDT Hi Andrew, Your Grandma just told me you were in the hospital. I hope and pray it is something that can be resolved fast, so you can get back to your summer. Your Grandma told me to tell you that my Husband, who is also named Doug like your Daddy, is working on the bridge that slows you guys down every day. The Crown Valley bridge that is. But, it is not his fault it is taking so long. Hes a land surveyor and also works for the county like your Grandma. So if you see a man with an orange vest in the middle of the road, wave hi that might be Doug. Well I hope you are better soon. Carol Carol Zeissner <carol.zeissner@rdmd.ocgov.com> Buena Park, CA USA - Thursday, July 14, 2005 12:06 AM CDT Hey Andrew. We hope you are home soon from the hospital and that fever goes away real soon! Sending hugs to you and your family! Jackson's page Eric, Tiffany, Jackson and Faith O'Neil <jetoneil@yahoo.com> Rohnert Park, CA - Thursday, July 14, 2005 10:18 AM CDT Andrew!! 100,000 visitors!!! You must be one special little boy! We're so happy to hear that your feeling good and enjoying the summer. We hope to see you soon. Sam Guinane and Family Renee Guinane <guinane@cox.net> Aliso Viejo, CA USA - Wednesday, July 13, 2005 11:51 PM CDT Hey, Kim, we were in Atlanta in clinic today when you called --- now I'm worried it's too late to call you back (too late for me, ha!) :) I think the message you were referring to was talking about low counts. I couldn't find anything besides that in the journal entry.... of course, low counts and restricted activity during perfectly good summer weather *IS* kind of stinky! Hope you guys are doing well, Kristie (ALL List) Kendrie's Page <kristieokc@cox.net> Byron (Robins AFB), GA - Wednesday, July 13, 2005 9:45 PM CDT Kim, I found your site through Juliana Banana and I must say it was quite informative. I think ALL parents of cancer kids are the cream of the crop. You guys are truly the heroes in my book. I'll keep praying for Andrew. What a beautiful child. Patty Muccia <pmuccia@comcast.net> Roselle Park, nj - Wednesday, July 13, 2005 3:15 PM CDT Hi Andrew! What a beautiful boy you are!! I just found your page and I wanted to let you know I stopped by :o) Your mom's last entry about remission was well written. I don't have cancer, but a chronic illness, and we do speak of remission, relapse, effects of treatment/disease. Those terms mean pretty much the same thing as in cancer (might very slightly differ) and I am sure this journal made people understand at least a little bit more. I wish you the best of luck with the rest of your treatment! Renee <dr.renfb@animail.net> Canada - Wednesday, July 13, 2005 11:42 AM CDT I found your web page through another and am very glad I visited. Your last journal entry was wonderful. I have a three year old little girl that also has ALL. There were a couple of things in your last journal entry that even I didn't know. You have a very handsome young man. What a doll. We will keep you in our prayers along with all the other wonderful children with this horrible cancer. The Renniers www.caringbridge.org/in/victoriarennier/ <nrennier@sbcglobal.net> Indianapolis, IN - Wednesday, July 13, 2005 8:31 AM CDT Got your site from Lucas! Very well done. Think we understand better! Love the cake you made with Grandma. It is so hot here that the swimming pool does look so inviting. Good job on the fishing, they are huge! Hugs and oodles of prayers being sent your way! Love Mary, Mike Slade and the kids (Lucas Hammond friends) <mar-e@rogers.com> Guelph, Ontario, Canada - Wednesday, July 13, 2005 7:02 AM CDT Well said Kim, hope you don't mind but I am going to copy it and get it on our site eventually. Thoughts and prayers sent your way. www.caringbridge.org/mn/alexisstern karen stern <jandkstern@connections-etc.net> big lake, mn - Tuesday, July 12, 2005 9:17 PM CDT I came to your website through Kendrie's. Thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. XOXO kim meagher <sportzmom@comcast.net> Towson, MD - Tuesday, July 12, 2005 8:59 PM CDT Kim, your latest journal entry was so informative and so sobering. Cancer is such a terrible scourge and seeing the little innocent ones and their families suffer is truly a test of our faith. I will never, in my entire life, understand how this all fits into the plan of our good and gracious Lord, but I know that in His own time, when we meet with him in heaven, 'all that is hidden will be revealed". (I don't say that in anyway to imply that such earthly suffering is "God's will", because I don't believe that to be true. If you haven't already read "When God Doesn't Make Sense" by James Dobson, you might think about picking up a copy.) In the meantime, you've got it right that what we can do here and now is work hard towards finding cures that heal and don't inflict serious, alternate damage in the course thereof. And of course, pray, pray, pray! Your family is truly amazing. Your courage, fortitude and bravery during this ordeal have been inspirational. Thank you for sharing so much of it with all of us. I will continue to pray for dear Andrew. Karen Craig Billnitzer <reader@verizon.net> RPV, CA - Tuesday, July 12, 2005 6:54 PM CDT Hay Andrew, I just saw you on a video on the CHOCwalk site. That was so cool. And of course you had a pretty girl with you. Your Grandma Janice told me about the video. Shes telling every one at work to watch it. Shes so proud of her Grandkids. Well have a great day, and a great rest of the summer. Love Carol Carol Zeissner <Carol.Zeissner@rdmd.ocgov.com> Buena Park, CA USA - Tuesday, July 12, 2005 5:56 PM CDT I found your website through Kendrie's and I feel more informed about Leukimia after your last posting. I will pray for your son and your family...what beautiful children you have. Take care. Chari Warner <millymango40@yahoo.com> Alpharetta, GA USA - Tuesday, July 12, 2005 2:02 PM CDT Andrew, You are so fortunate to have such loving, Christian parents! The love your parents have for you is so evident in the way your mom updates us on your lives and your health. I hope you're continuing to have a fun summer, and I continue to pray for you and your family daily:) Julie Helman <julesmh@hotmail.com> Monmouth Junction, NJ USA - Monday, July 11, 2005 5:48 PM CDT Hi, Andrew! I found your site through Kendrie's site. Thanks so much for your mom's informative entry. I will continue to lift your family up. Thanks for sharing your story with us. I love checking in to see your smiling face. Elena (FoA) <arl_tx_techie2004@yahoo.com> NRH, TX USA - Monday, July 11, 2005 1:38 PM CDT Hi Andrew and Mommy! What a precious little boy you are Andrew!! My son is nine and just finished his chemo in March for ALL...it IS a long road, but you can do it!!! Korey was lucky...he had the "good" kind....Funny they call it that! My heart goes out to you and your family as it does to all of these innocent children fighting for their lives. It is so hard to believe that we once lived without the fear of low counts, relapse...etc.... Your entry painted the much too real and too harsh to think about realities that we face everyday now. Just know that you aren't alone! Not that the fact really changes anything, because it doesn't! But sometimes it helps to know that we aren't alone! I hope you guys are having fun this summer! We have made it our mission to have as much fun as we can possibly sqeeze in to a day!!! A friend of ours, Blake www2.caringbridge.org/hi/blakeyoung has a poem called "Just For Today" on his page and I think it is so fitting for us cancer moms...it is beautiful!! This is the first time I've read your page, but I know I will be back often to see how you are doing! Have fun this summer!! Praying for you and wishing you happy days, Korey's mom www3.caringbridge.org/tx/koreylee Brenda Harris <Brekh9@aol.com> Austin, TX USA - Monday, July 11, 2005 11:50 AM CDT Hey Guys! I've been a little consumed with what has been going on with Gregory so I haven't visited in awhile. It is amazing how much of the same feelings I share with Kim. Even though Gregory and Andrew had very different cancers, their journeys and our feelings are so similar! We appreciate the love, energy, and communication you give towards this challenge! It is truly inspiring and I have only touched upon 'being like you'. I long for the day Andrew and Gregory can play again. I pray that the worst is by far over and the future is so bright, you have to wear shades. Abra Gilman (Gregory Conklin's mom) <AGilman@collinscomputing.com or www.gregoryconklin.org> Lake Forest, CA USA - Monday, July 11, 2005 10:34 AM CDT I have visited your site on several occasions but have never signed the guestbook (sorry). I wanted to do so today to 1.) let you know that I'm lifting Andrew and your entire family in prayer and 2) thank you for your informative entry. Kelley Williams <kelleywms@hotmail.com> Franklin, TN USA - Monday, July 11, 2005 10:10 AM CDT Good morning Kim. This is my first guest book entry. I came to your site through Ms. Kendrie's. What an excellent and informative entry. I will continue to pray for Andrew and all the beautiful children inflicted with this horrible disease. You are all truly brave soliders in this fight. Rebecca <sonnibrook@sbcglobal.net> Kansas City, MO USA - Monday, July 11, 2005 9:22 AM CDT Hi Andrew! Your mommy's journal entry was an excellent entry. I'm glad you are feeling well and seem to be healthy, but like your mom said, you still have a lot to deal with and a long road ahead of you. You and your family will continue to be in my prayers. Your grandma sent me a poster of you in the mail! I will proudly hang it on my wall right next to my pictures of me in the San Diego marathon and my medal. And, I had such a great time with Team in Training that I am applying to be a mentor with the winter team here in Austin! The more people we can get to raise money to find a cure, the better. Briana Roehling Pflugerville, TX - Monday, July 11, 2005 8:42 AM CDT I found your site through Kendrie's. I pray that Andrew continues to prosper, kick cancer's butt, and never, ever develops any of those icky side effects....now or ever. I pray that you as his parents, find the strength you need to do and be who and what you need to be for him. My children have had some health problems, but nothing remotely close to cancer. I know how taxing it can be to deal with what in comparasion, are minor things. I can only imagine how difficult many days are for you. I pray Andrew lives a long healthy life, and you can bask in the glory of God as you watch him grow! Kendra Simpson <ksbusyboys@bellsouth.net> Asheville, NC - Sunday, July 10, 2005 8:22 PM CDT I found your site through Kendrie's. I don't have a child with cancer. (I have a friend who did)and that is how I starting looking at these caringbridge pages. I keep finding more and more of you, through your links and just wanted to add that I will add you to my growing prayer list. My heart goes out to every parent who has a child with cancer. ((HUGS)) Tina Pirro <kmpirro@msn.com> Metuchen, NJ - Sunday, July 10, 2005 7:40 PM CDT Hello Andrew and family, Let me join the chorus of voices complimenting you on your latest journal entry. While it is indeed reassuring to see your child feeling well, it's so hard to completely escape the fear - much as we try! Andrew - I also hear that your wish (like Sam's) is to swim with the dolphins. He found the dolphins to be wonderful and amazing, and I'm sure you will too! We are always sending our best, and keeping you in our prayers. Jennifer (Sam's mama) caringbridge.org/canada/sam Vancouver, Canada - Sunday, July 10, 2005 3:20 PM CDT Hi Kim, Love the update. Very well done. Jonathan is looking very well too and people keep telling me how good he looks, etc. He is active and being a fairly normal teen now. Others don't realize that while we put on "good face", inside we are haunted and at times literally filled with terror. Next month is Jonathan's 1st year dx. anniversary. I am filled with dread. I know we have come so far and appreciate that, but it still feels very creepy. The football season will always be a sad reminder to us about this awful cancer. I hope and pray your post will be a wake-up call for many people to keep praying for Andrew and all of our kids, and also to give of their resources to help researchers find a cure so children don't have to suffer and die. We know all too well that they are still in fact dying, and we have to do what we can to stop it. Also wanted to let you know that my husband and I are going to our first TNT information meeting on the 25th. We plan on doing a marathon in the spring! Thanks for helping us with the inspiration to do this! Hugs and Prayers, Candy Sweeney, www.caringbridge.org/mi/jonathan <sweeneyclan5@comcast.net> jackson, mi - Sunday, July 10, 2005 10:26 AM CDT Well, darn, I missed the magic 100,000 by several hundred. That's what I get for scrapbooking all day yesterday with my girlfriends and not checking the site quicker! :) Great entry, Kim. You explained things very well. Would you mind if I referenced Andrew's site in Kendrie's next CB update? You have a lot of good information on there. I have to tell you, about your comment about obsessing over what songs you might play at Andrew's funeral .... when Kendrie was inpatient last week and had that one really bad night, as my imagination was running (which it has a tendency to do at 4am!) I had already decided that if anything terrible were to happen, we were burying her in her t-ball uniform .... tradition be damned. Isn't that a sick thought for a parent to have???? I mean really, I don't think we can get much more morbid, but I also don't think we can escape those awful thoughts sometimes, no matter how hard we try. Hope you guys are having a great weekend, Kristie (ALL List) Kendrie's Page <kristieokc@cox.net> Byron (Robins AFB), GA - Sunday, July 10, 2005 8:06 AM CDT Golly, Kim, I go away for 2 days and wham - it's already 100175!!! I must admit, I kept checking too, for that magic 100000 number - brilliant idea! Loved your latest entry. For everyone else, life has returned to normal after the shock of dx, but for us, it will never be the same, will it? We certainly are praying for Andrew (for his PT too) - I have a prayer list for all of our kids in my church. With God's will, our kids will be in remission for the rest of their lives... With warmest regards and hoping that you all are still enjoying the summer... Ann (ALL-Kids) <annlatimer@optusnet.com.au> Sydney, NSW Australia - Sunday, July 10, 2005 4:25 AM CDT Hi Kim, Just stopping by to wish you a happy weekend and to let you know that I am thinking of your family and Andrew in particular. I continue to keep him in my prayers. Stay strong. Love, Donna Guarton (www.caringbridge.org/ny/mollyg) Donna Guarton <dguarton@aol.com> N. Bellmore, N.Y. USA - Sunday, July 10, 2005 0:09 AM CDT Ohhh, I was a little before 100,000 and a little after! I have to send you photos of you and Christine from Tahoe. Happy Saturday, XXOO, Marey adn Cali Ali Marey, Ali's mom- ALL-KIDS <kteachermom@hotmail.com> - Saturday, July 9, 2005 11:27 PM CDT Dear Andrew, I pray a lot for you. Usually, I beg God for no relapsing (ever!), and few side effects. Now, I'll remember to pray over the side effects more often! I'm glad you are feeling pretty well these days, and I hope you are having a fun summer. Remember, you have a friend in Houston! Melinda Kaye <mkbrandt@isp.com> Houston, TX - Saturday, July 9, 2005 7:44 PM CDT You did a great job with that update. I often find myself in the same situation, where people think Riley is all better and don't realize he's still on treatment and how long he has to remain on treatment, and people not realizing that not only do we have to worry about cancer, but we have to worry about all of the side-effects of these nasty drugs that could haunt us forever. Just wanted to let you know, as another ALL mom, that you put all of that info. into excellent perspective for your readers. Riley's Page Jill Hooper <aandjhooper@sympatico.ca> Wallaceburg, ON Canada - Saturday, July 9, 2005 11:21 AM CDT Kim, Thanks for sharing your thoughts on this disease. It truly explains in detail what all our families go through each and every day. Glad Andrew continues to do well. Hope the PT issues get ironed out real soon. Sending hugs! Jackson's page Tiffany O'Neil (ALL-Kids) <jetoneil@yahoo.com> Rohnert Park, CA - Saturday, July 9, 2005 11:20 AM CDT I really enjoyed this most informative update, as you say so many look at our children and assume we are "done" and all "better", if only they could spend a few days with us and see what our children endure daily to keep moving forward. Thanks for continuing to keep us informed. A fellow ALL-Kids mom Amy & Isabella Isabella's Page <agrosso@twcny.rr.com> Syracuse, NY - Saturday, July 9, 2005 10:33 AM CDT I'm 100,000! I've been checking up on Andrew for almost a year now and it's and honor to be the 100,000th visitor. I know you've all struggled this past year and but you can always see his sweet smile and his strong soul in any picture you post, be it at the Polar Bear cave, or in the middle of the nasty hair-stealing chemo. As always your family remains in my prayers and I can only hope that the remainder of Andrew's treatment (and cancer-free life for that matter) is uneventful. With love and hugs, Katie (www2.caringbridge.org/ca/kathryn) <kt.irvin@gmail.com> Los Angeles, CA USA - Saturday, July 9, 2005 10:16 AM CDT Well, I'm 99931...the last thirteen must have been people trying to get closer to 100000! Thanks for the update that binds us all--the difference between how our kids look/feel and what is really happening in their lives. You said it well. I hope the PT wrinkles get ironed out soon so you guys can get started. Lauren, www.caringbridge.org/vt/fergus Lauren Quinn <peckschoolhouse@gmail.com> East Montpelier, VT USA - Saturday, July 9, 2005 10:13 AM CDT Ok, I'll play fair and fight off this nasty urge to keep hitting refresh...99,919 reporting at 9:28 central standard time...just one closer than my canadian sistah Katie! Luv, Julianna Banana <tjosephson@shaw.ca> Winnipeg, Canada - Saturday, July 9, 2005 9:26 AM CDT Well I am 99918 - Great journal update Kim - I can't count the number of times the same people ask me if Katie is all finished. I think it is just hard for most people to comprehend being on chemo for years. I sometimes wondered if the adult protocols are much shorter becuse they know that none of the adults would comply or agree to a treatment that lasted that long... Hope you are having a great weekend and get some resolution on the PT treatments soon. You are a great advocate for your son. Susan (Katie's Mom/ ALL list); Katie's page Ottawa, Canada - Saturday, July 9, 2005 9:15 AM CDT Hi Andrew, Boy you sure caught a whopper with Great Uncle Artie! Did you eat it? Hi Kim, What a great reminder to everyone about this disease and how in invades our lives. I may have to borrow your words sometime. Good luck in solving the PT problem. Hopefully you can be heard. Oh, I'm 99911.......close but just not there!! Frances, Paul and family @ Lucas' page <hammonds@wincom.net> Amherstburg, Ontario, Canada, - Saturday, July 9, 2005 8:32 AM CDT What a beautiful family!

Andrew, you are so darn handsome and your sister is adorably cute! You both look like you really enjoyed that yummy pool cake! Kim, A very nice reminder of the never-ending fight against Leukemia. As a Mom with a child who has relapsed with this monster, I can attest to the truth in your words. This Mom's worry will end only when my life ends and never before. I love the picture of Andrew and his Daddy at the finish line. It's an amazing shot! Many hugs!

I'll check back in the morning and see if I hit the lucky 100,000! Kim, I hope you get the PT thing straightened out. Actually, let me rephrase that. I *know* you will get the PT thing straightened out ... it's just a matter of how many heads are going to roll! :) (that girl is unbelievable to me!)

We miss seeing you at the gym, however, we have decided to take the summer off to do some other things, and then rejoin come September! I hear that you are having to fiddle around with some "red tape" at the physical therapy office- oh those politics! I know your Mom will have this one taken care of and handled appropriately- she is a strong lady and doesnt take "NO" for an answer.....She's THE Woman!!! We love you and think about you a lot- we are having a fun summer with sumer art classes, VBS, travel, and just hanging around enjoying the great summer weather thus far!

I'm glad you are feeling pretty well, and I hope things get worked out soon for your PT. Your new pictures are sooo cool! Love the hair! It will probably take another year before my mom gets around to putting up my new pics. Oh well...hope all is well! Your buddy, Nicholas www.caringbridge.org/oh/nicky Kim Knauss <kknauss@email.com> Avon, OH - Tuesday, July 5, 2005 9:53 PM CDT Your new photos are awesome! Those are some mighty fine looking fish you caught while camping. Did you eat them too? Sure was great to hear about the super 4th of July fun you got to have all weekend. What a great holiday, and a great country we live in! I hope you enjoy the long lazy days of summer this week, Andrew. Except I hope you get to start physical therapy really soon, and aren't lazy about that! (Just teasing -- I know you'll work super hard at your therapy.)

Briana Roehling Pflugerville, TX - Tuesday, July 5, 2005 8:58 AM CDT Nice language in our guestbook! :) Actually, with the trials you're having right now with physical therapy, you are justified to use many choice words to express your frustration. We are actually just beginning the process, so if you have any advice you've learned from your experience, we'd sure appreciate it. Hoping Andrew feels better and better with each summer day.

I am sure that she was very proud of all that your family has accomplished, and that you brought her so much joy. What a lucky woman to have lived such a long, wonderful life surrounded by such incredible family members. I know that you feel just as lucky to have had her for so long. I am deeply sorry about your loss. It sounds like you had a stressful week, so I am glad to know that your 4th was so much fun! Did Andrew and Christine like the fireworks? Mikayla went to the community gathering with her friends family, but we just hung out at home all day, and watched about 8 different displays from our deck. Very cool! If you need any help with evil physical therapy receptionist, I'll just send my girls over to deal with her! When it comes to their Andrew, they are very adament that he is treated the way he deserves to be! Love Grandma J's cake! Good job, Janice! You are so good to your grandbabies! Happy 4th!

Briana Roehling Pflugerville, TX - Friday, July 1, 2005 8:53 AM CDT Dear Andrew (and Mommy, Daddy & Christine), It's so much fun to visit your page and hear about all the fun things you're doing this summer, but I was sorry to read about your great-grandpa... and that your cousins won't be visiting (but glad to read your uncle's surgery was successful). Just wanted to say I appreciate your mom's journal entries, enjoy seeing your cute photos, and that I continue to pray for you all the time even though I'm not very good about leaving messages. :-) Love, "Mrs. C" Carolyn Cobb <carolyntrustinghim@cox.net> Lake Forest, CA - Friday, July 1, 2005 8:48 AM CDT The surgery (to remone an 8mm kidney stone) went well; thanks for the prayers.

Uncle Damon, Auntie Kelly and Cousins Ty & Zach <dorseyhouse@msn.com> Aurora, CO - Thursday, June 30, 2005 9:49 PM CDT Andrew, I'm #98,207, so you have a few days/weeks to go before you hit 100,000. I love the new pictures of you, Christine and Daddy in the cave! Believe it or not, your daddy looks the same as he did nearly 14 years ago (when we were still in college). Do you think you'll look the same that many years from now? I'm so thankful that you're getting the chance to enjoy so many trips with your family and friends and that you're reaching so many milestones (graduating from pre-K is a big deal!). I can't wait to hear and see what you do next:) Julie Helman <julesmh@hotmail.com> Monmouth Junction, NJ USA - Thursday, June 30, 2005 8:21 PM CDT Andrew, it sounds like you're having lots of fun lately. Sea World is such a neat place to go, and I bet that polar bear cave was scary! How did you like your camping trip? Did you see any brown bears? I hope you got to have a campfire and maybe even roast some marshmallows. I'm so glad that your new medicine is helping cut down your nerve pain -- that's great news. Did you hear that our (and your) friend Gregory is working towards being able to leave CHOC at some point this summer? Won't that be exciting for him to get to go home? I know that you can relate to how good it feels to go home after staying in the hospital for a long time. I will keep checking in on you and praying for your complete healing and protection from the side effects of your treatments. You're a tough little warrior and I'm really proud of you.

We hit all our favorite places......my work where we got to see Maggie Moo again....can she give good hugs and kisses or what???? Then ok course IHOP, Burger King, 7-11 for our slurpee, and Weinerschnitzel too. Our slumber party seemed like one big junk food fest!!! I enjoyed the Scooby Doo grahams as we snuggled in bed, and of course the 2 bags of micro popcorn when we got up (to hold us over until we got to Burger King for hash browns :)). Making craft *projects* with you and sister is so much fun..you are both very creative. We will have to have a super sleepover with all your cousins when they get here. I thank Jesus every day that you are doing so well....it makes my heart sing to see you playing and having fun like a big four year old boy. I keep all your friends in my prayers too. Have fun camping with Aunt Joyce and Uncle Art...sleeping in a tent is sooooo cool!

I hope that you are doing well since your treatments on Monday, and that you aren't feeling any of the yucky side effects from it. You are a very strong and brave young man, and we know that YOU can do anything! Like you told our friend Alex on Sat., "Believe in yourself." I think that those are the sagest words that I have ever heard from a four year old! Please know that we were so happy to see you guys on Sat., and to watch you swimming like a fish, was truly a joy for all of us! You and Christine are welcome to come over anytime to go swimming. The girls couldn't stop talking about both of you. Thanks so much, Sprague family, for sharing Aleah's graduation party with us! Much love, Debbie Deb Whaley <syracuse84@cox.net> Ladera Ranch, CA - Wednesday, June 22, 2005 9:01 PM CDT Kim, Doug, Andrew and Christine, I am so happy that we got the chance to meet you all and especially Andrew at Alex's Lemonade stand! I've been following Andrew and his battle with cancer for so long now and its so nice to be able to put a face with the prayers we've been saying for Andrew and all of you. I just wish we had a chance to stay and visit longer. It was so great to see how well Andrew was doing! What an inspiring and sweet boy he is, and Christine is an absolute doll too! I also thought it was so cute how Andrew asked if my dog Simba knew how to hop on one leg, since he had just learned how to do that! What a cutie! I really admire the work you do raising money for cancer research and by supporting so many other families who are going through similar circumstances. Andrew and Christine are so lucky to have such amazing parents such as yourselves, and you are both so lucky to have two sweet and adorable kids such as Andrew and Christine! I pray that Andrew's spinal and infusion went well and that it was successful in eliminating all the cancerous cells in Andrew's body. I hopw that his body was protected from any bad side effects of the chemo. As always you will all continue to be in our prayers. Take Care Amy <athomas@hansoncomputer.com> Westminster, CALIF - Monday, June 20, 2005 9:05 PM CDT Congrats on your success at the lemonade stand and congrats on being promoted to Junior-K!

You really did great on your Alex Lemonade Stand...even in the rain. I got to meet so many of your friends for the first time, and of course seeing the whole Whaley family again was a special treat. Those girls sure do love you and Christine. You have come so far and grown up so much in the last 2 years (almost). I pray that our Lord continues to heal and protect you. Tomorrow is another milestone....Father's Day!! HAPPY FATHER'S DAY DOUG!! Lots of kisses and hugs, Love grandma <jannield@comcast.net> costa mesa, ca - Sunday, June 19, 2005 1:15 AM CDT Hi Andrew!

Your Grandma is so sweet, she tells me that you've been wondering about the volcanos, your so cute. thanks for worrying about me, but I am happy to say that there are no volcanos near my house.

Love, Sophie (actual words) Kim and Sophie Verska <kimverska@yahoo.com> Atlanta, GA USA - Tuesday, June 14, 2005 8:14 PM CDT Dear Andrew, Christine, Kim, and Doug, It was so wonderful seeing you all at Alex's Lemonade Stand on Sat.! Everything looked so festive with all of the balloons, and especially, your smiling faces. I hope that you guys raised a lot of money. Andrew, I told Rachel that she has to get rid of that "other" boyfriend because you want her all to yourself! I know that you have a total of EIGHT girlfriends, so it is hard to keep track of all of them yourself. Christine, You are such a sweetie-pie. Mark and I loved all of the stickers that you decorated us with, and hope that you will bring some more with you when you come to our house! I hope that you were able to work out the problems with the fancy new flip-flops that Grandma Janice bought you! Doug and Kim, We are looking foward to seeing you all this weekend! I think that all of the hard work you put into awareness and fundraising is just incredible! Grandma Janice, It was so nice to see you again! Your family is so very lucky to have you. We hope you are all having a great week! Love, Debbie Deb Whaley <syracuse84@cox.net> Ladera Ranch, CA - Monday, June 13, 2005 5:18 PM CDT I'm so glad the Tahoe trip went well, and kudos to Doug and everyone involved for doing such a bang-up job with the fundraising!!! I have to admit, though, that I'm envious you got to meet up with so many other All-Kid families. Geez, does this mean I'll have to break down and get my fat behind on a bike to meet other moms and dads and kids???? :) Kristie (ALL List) Kendrie's Page <kristieokc@cox.net> Byron (Robins AFB), GA - Sunday, June 12, 2005 9:38 PM CDT Kim. So glad you caught up with Jim....I did miss being there, but I guess this was the yeat to miss..COLD< and Mucho flight problems all over the place. Brandon couldn't have been around Andrew and Spencer due to VZIG... Brandon also ended up in patient Monday PM with a suspected case of pox. only had to stay 48 hours. NOthing in comparison to what so many of our friends have had to endure. Best of luck with Alex's lemonade stand, what a great tribute to such a generous soul. Cindy Zammit-ALL Kids, mom to Brandon <cindy_zammit@yahoo.com www.caringbridge.org/md/brandon214> damascus, MD - Friday, June 10, 2005 2:20 PM CDT OOPS!! I can't believe that I forgot to mention a very super cool lady that I met in San Diego on Sunday...the same day your Daddy was riding his bike in Tahoe! Briana Roehling, who lives in Texas came all the way to San Diego to run in the Rock n Roll Marathon with her Team in Training to raise money to find a cure for blood cancer. She had your name on her shirt too. We shared lots of hugs (I gave her one for you too). We have been so blessed that so many people are doing so much for the cure. Love, Grandma Grandma Janice - Friday, June 10, 2005 1:24 PM CDT Hey Andrew, It was so nice to finally talk to you and Christine tonight and hear about your trip to Tahoe! The most amazing part is the $7 million raised for finding a cure and 500 PB&Js handed out to the riders!! I'm glad you got to connect with old friends and some for the first time. I am especially glad that you got to meet Aunt Kathy. I got to spend some time with her in Florida right before she left for Tahoe. She is pretty awesome to ride 100 miles!!! I am so proud of you Daddy for all the hard work he does training and then riding 100 miles....can you even count to 100?? Kim and Doug, I am sooooo proud of both of you for all you do for pediatric cancer, and all blood cancers. Your committment is very admirable and you are both wonderful examples for others. Andrew, I don't know if I can wait until Saturday to have that Lemonade. I will visit John Taggart's stand Sunday too...you can never have too much lemonade. What a wonderful tribute to the memory of Alex Scott. God bless you and lots of kisses and hugs Grandma <jannield@comcast.net> costa mesa, ca - Thursday, June 9, 2005 10:13 PM CDT Welcome home, Andrew and family! Your trip to Tahoe sounds just wonderful (minus the airline travel part . . .) Did I read that right that the event raised $7 Million dollars?? That seems absolutely incredible to me, and I'm so encouraged to hear that. I'm looking forward to seeing new photos up on the site from your trip one of these days after you catch your breath. I will send up special prayers of gratitude tonight to Jesus for blessing Andrew with better health this year than last, for the generosity and good will of the many people involved with TNT events which work so hard to end childhood cancer, and for the love and faith example that the whole Sprague family offers to us all. God bless you! Karen Craig Billnitzer <reader@verizon.net> RPV, CA - Thursday, June 9, 2005 9:20 PM CDT Dear Sprague, YOU GUYS ARE SO COOL! We are so very proud of you ALL!

I think you are still in Tahoe, but I wanted to tell you that I got to meet your grandmas Sunday! She was nice enough to come and wait at the finish line for me and had a sign with your picture on it and my name! That was really cool. When my dad e-mails me the picture, I'll email it to you, too. I'm sure your dad did great on his bike ride. Congrats to him! Have fun with Spencer Rocket!!! Briana Roehling Pflugerville, TX - Monday, June 6, 2005 9:03 PM CDT Hey Andrew!

I am back from Taylors! She was in a dance recital and did a ballet and a tap dance. I told her Christine was taking dance too. I love the new pictures...especially the one from school with all your classmates, and especially Angelica. If you marry her can I be her grandma too??

You are a bigger boy now and I know you will see lots of friends, especially Spencer Rocket! Give him a hug from me and tell him I'm gonna come next year and go swimming with you guys. You will both be 5 then and will probably be expert swimmers and even beat me in the arcade. Take lots of pictures for me ok? Stay well, Andrew and I hope your meds kick in so you don't have pain in your legs and arms. I pray for a safe trip and a great ride for Daddy and all the TNT riders who are so dedicated to raising money for research.

You have put so much energy and love into raising money and awareness for such a worthy cause. You have helped so many in your quest to rid this world of such a horrible illness. You have given so much of yourselves during a time in your lives when many would just turn inwards with fear, and desperation. You have proven yourselves such courageous, and relentless warriors while facing an enemy that does not play by the rules. You have, and are, changing this world for so many. You are making this world a better place. I thank God for people like you, and I know that both Andrew and Christine will grow up to be the essence of what you are teaching them, because you are setting such a strong example.

I am so happy to hear the good news about your bone marrow, but sorry you were in pain when Mary did it, and also with all your port problems last night. too bad you have to stay another day because of the pneumonia. I just got home from your house...Daddy is taking a shower and then taking Christine up to see you. He said it's gonna be Boys Night tonight!! I guess he is sending the girls home so you and he can do boy stuff and watch boy stuff on tv. Be careful because I think Daddy has been practicing CandyLand!!!

Julie Helman <julesmh@hotmail.com> Monmouth Junction, NJ USA - Friday, May 20, 2005 7:04 PM CDT Dear Sprague Family: Nothing like a rolloer coaster week, huh? Kim, and your working again, too? I have been out of pocket, as I myself has been preoccupied with my new job, but every day I pray for the family and Andrew's little picture is at my desk to see every day and remind me of all the little blessing in the world! I hope to hear by night's end some better news regarding Andrew's fever. Not fun, esp. with the 90 degree weather we are set for, and more importantly, a surprise given that Andrew has done so well lately. God, please let this be a brief hurdle to jump and take care of our little friend with all your might! I look forward to hearing that healing is on its way...Love Ya little fellow..hang strong and for the rest of the family....hold tight as god works in mysterious ways:) Valerie Farrell rSM, ca usa - Friday, May 20, 2005 6:58 PM CDT Hi Kim and Doug, I am so sorry!!!! I pray that Andrew's fever goes down, and that his wheezing is under control. Please call me if there is anything you need. We are only a freeway away! I agree that the bone marrow aspirate would be a good idea, beacuse it would give you peace of mind. We are in for a bad allergy season, so I think it would make you feel better knowing that his body is reacting to allergins, and nothing else. I know that the aspirate is not a fun procedure, but it is quick, and he won't remember it. Please keep us posted. We love you, all. The Whaley Family <syracuse84@cox.net> Ladera Ranch, - Friday, May 20, 2005 4:49 PM CDT Dear Lord, please end Andrew's fever and rid his body of any infection, virus and bacteria; please provide him (and his mother) with restful hours of sleep and happy hours awake.

Kathi Romero <kathiske@cox.net> Mission Viejo, CA USA - Tuesday, May 17, 2005 10:30 PM CDT Kim I am so gald to read that Andrew is feeling better and that you are back home again. I had to laugh at the comment about the new IV poles - after so much time listening to them I actually find it soothing in a weird way. I can actually tell if the rate is correct by the sound of it chuggin away. I have caught infusion rate mistakes more than once that way... I hope the Physio helps andrew with his muscle weekness and you are able to find a way to build his bones back up. Susan (Katie's Mom/ ALL list) Ottawa, Canada - Monday, May 16, 2005 3:14 PM CDT Doug & Kim, You two are such an awesome example of strength and grace. You are not only a hero to your children but to me as well. May God continue to carry you in his loving arms when your strength is wavering. I love you both and you and your family are in my prayers and thoughts. Fight On.... Cindy Martinez <cindymartinez11@hotmail.com> Stanton, CA - Monday, May 16, 2005 1:41 PM CDT Andrew, yahoo for your getting to go home! I know that everybody loves you at CHOC and they like to have you there, but nothing feels as good as playing at your own house and sleeping in your own bed, with your whole family near by. We'll be praying for your calcium levels to improve to help make your bones bigger and stronger than ever before. I've heard that broccoli has lots of calcium, but I'm not sure if that's on your list of favorite foods! Love, Karen Karen Billnitzer <kdcbill@cox.net> Rancho Palos Verdes, CA - Monday, May 16, 2005 11:35 AM CDT Hi Andrew, I'm glad you got to go home on Friday and were able to sleep in your own bed again. There's nothing like your own bed at home! I hope the added calcium will help your bones grow strong so that you won't be in pain anymore. Have a great week. Briana Roehling Pflugerville, TX - Monday, May 16, 2005 8:54 AM CDT Andrew, Lots of love from the St. Regis Hotel! Mommies and Daddies need quiet time, too!

Every step I make!!! I was listening to it tonight and thinking about how you sang on Easter Sunday. It was so special seeing you up on stage as Pastor Dick said yesterday at church. Anyway, I went to check out your new pictures and was listening to your song and tears started rolling down my cheeks. It just touched me so much...seeing your little face...the smiles...how happy you must of been to go to Disneyland. I just want you to know that you're truly a trooper. I'm so proud of you and how well you've been doing with all the yucky stuff you've had to endure this last year. I am so glad I get to see you each week at church. You bring so much JOY to others. I pray that Jesus will continue to do his good work in you. You truly have the most awesome parents. They have so much strength because of you!!! Have a wonderful day sweet boy!!

He can see it from his bed and he knows it was made with love and prayers. I was sorry I didn't get a chance to visit with you while you were at CHOC but I was SO happy that it was a short stay for you! I talk to your mom alot and understand how frustrating it is when everyone is guessing at what is going on when you are sick. The important thing is - you are home and becoming stronger each day. We wish for you a hoppy Easter. I remember reading about you looking for eggs with your little sister last year. You had better run a little faster this year, I think she may be getting the hang of this Easter thing. Take care little buddy! We will pray for the day that you and Gregory can play together at home!

Ha! :) You know, I must have missed your last article ... did you send it to the list while I was gone? I read all of them faithfully and always enjoy them, but don't remember that one. I "overheard" some other messages that mentioned it ... could you maybe send it to me privately? Thanks! Hope you guys get to feeling better -- darn spring weather! Fortunately, we've been ok here, except for this stupid cough Kendrie has had for two months that her onc is blaming on Georgia allergies "just that time of year". Yeah, but I'm sure she's as sick of coughing as I am of hearing it. Anyway, you guys are going to L.O.V.E. GKTW! It will make seeing all the "same" sights and parks that you have in California worthwhile, I promise! As long as you don't travel with *MY* children, you should do fine. :) Kristie (ALL List) Kendrie's Page <kristieokc@cox.net> Byron (Robins AFB), GA - Tuesday, March 1, 2005 12:01 AM CST Hello, Just want you to know that your in our prayers.

I was reading something today about being in the moment. There is nothing we can do about yesterday, and if we spend too much of our time worrying about tomorrow, we might miss today. Yes, you need to take some extra precautions about Andrew's tomorrows, as well you should. Just remember that right now, he is doing great, and for that you can enjoy right now. You can enjoy each healthy moment that you have with Andrew, and NOTHING can take that away from you. Be well!

Good for you! And tell your mommy that she is also very brave for attending that seminar on long-term effects. But she will be so well-prepared for helping you with whatever lies ahead. We will keep you in our prayers to be protected from those side-effects. Is it sunny down there in California?

The weatherman here in Colorado must be from CA because he gets it all wrong too...we never got snow, and today is going to be warm. I took Tyler and Zach to see Racing Stripes instead of Winn Dixie because I read the schedule wrong!! It was a good movie too...all about a cute zebra who thought he was a race horse. Guess what?? He was better than a race horse because HE BELIEVED in himself with lots of encouragement from his barnyard animal friends. It reminded me of you Andrew....brave, courageous, strong and full of faith!! God bless you, and kisses for you, mommy, daddy, and Christine.

Just don't forget, that after the surgery, the area might be a little tender .... if Andrew has to get it accessed anytime soon, well .....

Lisa and Kari www3.caringbridge.org/va/kari Lisa Schueler <Lisa@iamtheshoe.com> Yorktown, VA - Thursday, January 20, 2005 6:03 AM CST Hi Kim, The girls told me that they ran into you guys the other day. They were so excited that they got to see all of you, and they told me how beautiful Christine is. They also said that they were so happy about how healthy Andrew is looking. I know that he is overwhelmed by all of the different people who love and care about him, but he is very gracious about the attention. I meant to mention to you that Gabriella's Bat Mitzvah is on April 16, and we would love it if your family could come. I will send you an invitation when the time comes, but just mark it on your calendar for now! Take good care! Love, Deb Debbie Whaley <syracuse84@cox.net> Ladera Ranch, CA - Tuesday, January 18, 2005 6:22 PM CST Hi Andrew! Just wanted to send extra prayers your way for all the upcoming procedures!

Nicholas www.caringbrige.org/oh/nicky Kim Knauss <kknauss@email.com> Avon, OH - Monday, January 17, 2005 11:27 PM CST Hi Kim, I check in on Andrew often and I just want to give my 5 cents about the port, my daughter is 3 and had one put in on 10/26/04 and we have not had any problems. we use the emla cream an hour before its accessed and I really believe it takes away the pain. Bella did get nervous the first few times but she has learned that its quick and she loves picking out the bandaid for after its deaccessed. Bella's port was placed below her left nipple area and its nice there because she never has to see the needle before its put in. Sending lots of prayers for Andrew, be strong little man!! Amy & Isabella www.caringbridge.org/ny/isabella Syracuse, NY - Monday, January 17, 2005 9:18 PM CST Hi Kim, I'm praying that all goes well with Andrew's port. Kevin had one when he was 4...a little older than Andrew, but it went fine. Of course, it will be tender until the area heals from surgery so you can imagine that accessing a bruised area will hurt. After healing though, you'll love it. No more flushing and having to deal with dressing changes ~ and even better yet, he can go swimming! If tegaderm is an irritant (it is for Kevin) try the Press-N-Seal. Take care, Lisa Tignor, Mom to Brian and Kevin <ltignor@comcast.net> Montclair, VA - Monday, January 17, 2005 8:48 PM CST Kim, Andrew is in my prayers.What a beautiful little boy.I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart for helping Rebecca's family yesterday (even if suzy and I aren't the best at coordinating the info you needed lol)I never hd to deal with cancer(Thank God) but I'll never forget being told my baby needed a couple heart surgeries, so I know what a Blessing you must have been for Angela and Jimmy last night.

The good part is you will be able to take lots of bubble baths, swim and go to the beach. I can hardly wait. You are getting to be such a young man. I pray that all goes well with your new port and access is a breeze for you. God bless you, Andrew. Love, Grandma grandma Janice <jannield@comcast.net> costa mesa, ca - Friday, January 14, 2005 8:55 AM CST Andrew, it looks like you have a full schedule of appointments coming up. I hope all goes well with the new port and all of your tests show good results. I'm glad the sun came out for you so that you could go outside to play. Have a great weekend. Briana Roehling Pflugerville, TX - Friday, January 14, 2005 8:43 AM CST Hi Andrew, You are such a very cute little guy. I went to college with your daddy and will be sending him an e-mail shortly. Prayers and hugs little man.  Lois (Friends of Allie and UR Alumni) <lbish2@hotmail.com> NJ - Friday, January 14, 2005 6:41 AM CST Kim & Andrew--Just wanted to visit and check and see if there were any new pictures of the beautiful boy! Look at those train whistles! Wow, Micky (Cherry's little brother) would probably love to get together with Andrew for some serious Thomas the Tank Engine play. I think Andrew will like the port, based on our experience. The EMLA cream completely blocks the pain. Don't settle for the "other" stuff, get the real EMLA! The generic does not block pain so completely. And forget the tagaderm! OUCH! That is the very worst part of the port, all of the ouchie tape they put on it. Using tagaderm to apply the EMLA just gets things off to a bad start! You can make a little square out of saran wrap, a piece of a baggie, whatever, and put a big blob of EMLA on the port, and cover it with the plastic. Then get one of those band-aids that doesn't stick too well, or even scotch tape for that matter, to hold on the plastic. It doesn't have to be air-tight at all, and if some leaks onto the shirt it won't stain. Ripping the tagaderm off before accessing the port should not be an ordeal at all! The actual poke doesn't hurt, but the fear of the needle can be a problem. Maybe since it never hurt before he won't notice that this needle is going through his skin! Well, Andrew, hope you survive the next few weeks in which your mom has you completely over-scheduled!!! XXOO Stephanie Dzur www.caringbridge.org/tx/cherry <sdzur@yahoo.com> Albuquerque (we've moved), NM USA - Thursday, January 13, 2005 11:14 PM CST Hi! I am a high school junior from Austin, Texas, and I picked up a Team in Training pamphlet in the school office the other day (with this site address, of course). Thought you might like to know that Andrew is helping inspire people who live far away and don't even know him! As it happens, I also volunteer at the HEMONC clinic at the Children's Hospital of Austin. All of our kids have ports, and they seem to do really well with them. The doctor should give you some EMLA cream to put on the port area about 30-45 minutes before he gets accessed, and this keeps it from hurting (although it's still stressful for them the first few times). Also, they give you a clear, sticky "window" covering to hold the cream on, but regular plastic wrap is a lot easier on their skin and still stays on fairly well. It's usually worth a try, because with many kids, having the sticky covering pulled off is worse than actually getting accessed! Andrew's quite a cutie, I'll be praying for him that these appointments go well and he beats his leukemia! Allie Booth <akbooth@aol.com> Austin, TX - Thursday, January 13, 2005 8:04 PM CST Andrew, I haven't written to you lately, but I want you to know I think of you always, and check in every few days to see how you're doing. I'm happy to see your progess, and was glad you had the chance to go away for Christmas. I love the pictures of you and Christine, your Granny Janice sent me a picture and I printed it and put it on my wall at work. I wish you the very best and pray for you and your family. Good luck on your coming appointments, I pray that everything goes smoothly and painless. God Bless you kiddo.

Grandma Janice brought brochures to work and gave me one to keep for myself.

It serves as my inspiration when I'm fighting my own physical symptoms. Kim, your Mom has also shared your newspaper column with me, and I enjoy your expressive writing skill both in your column and website updates. I just wanted to send my love.

One time when I was younger, we were going to Pennsylvania for Christmas to visit my big brother, and Santa came early for us too!! And Santa comes early for my sisters kids when they go to Hawaii for Christmas!! Boy our families must know the right people to talk to up there at the North Pole!

I don't know if you'll be visiting your web page while in Texas, but I'm dropping by as I do nearly every day... but this time wanted to take a couple of minutes to tell you I'm thinking of you, and praying that you're having a GREAT time. In fact, you all (or as I should say now..."Y'ALL") are never far from my thoughts! Frequently throughout the day you are "brought to my remembrance", as the Bible says... and I know to the hearts of everyone in our church as well. In fact, Alyson Rowell's opening prayer at yesterday's wonderful children's Christmas musical began with praying for you and Pastor Cobb! It was so sweet. Wow... Andrew! I can hardly believe all the F U N things you've been doing!! We hope that you are feeling well and enjoying every moment. (Mommy, too!!!!) Love you much... and if I don't get to your guest book again before the 25th, I just want to say "Happy Jesus' Birthday" i.e. Merry Christmas... to all the wonderful Sprague family.

I would love to be able to meet you, but know that you will be very busy with family. I just hope you enjoy your visit. If you are going to be here through Friday (which it sounds like you are), you better bring a coat. The weather man is saying the high on Friday is only suppose to get to the high 30s! Have a great time! Briana Roehling Pflugerville, TX - Saturday, December 18, 2004 9:18 PM CST Dear Sprague Family, I am so happy to hear that you are all enjoying your holidays. Kim, I hope that your cough gets better before you have to fly. Make sure you drink lots of water before and on the plane, so that you don't get worse! Andrew is such a lucky little guy!

I can't wait to see what Santa brings you....how nice of him to come to your house before you leave for Texas to see your cousins. Today is such a busy day for me, are you busy too? I have to get a hold of Santa AGAIN to make sure he brings your stuff early and also brings some stuff for you and sister in Texas. I'm sorry you had to spend more time at CHOC yesterday, but at least they didn't keep you. I had fun with Christine at gymnastics...do you know that she helped me find it? I knew I was getting close because sister got soooo excited and pointed to where I have to turn. She is such a good little Tootsie Roll!! Maybe some day I can come watch your class...I bet the Kinderoos do really hard stuff!! God bless you, Andrew..I am sooooo proud of you.

Briana Roehling Pflugerville, TX - Tuesday, December 7, 2004 9:45 AM CST Hi Andrew! I'm just stopping by to say hi and let you know that I'm thinking of you! Sounds like you had fun at your Christmas program! :) I hope you are enjoying the holidays so far!!! Have a great week! God bless and *warm hugs* ><><><  Lighting Childrens Lives Caged Kids *Jennifer C* from Lighting Childrens Lives & Caged Kids <jenniferc@ilovetocolor.com> Eugene, OR USA - Sunday, December 5, 2004 11:00 PM CST Andrew, It was lots of fun coming to your house yesterday! You looked great and I love your hair!! I really liked your playroom. I am so glad you had fun at your Christmas program. It's fun being able to sing and dance with your friends. I hope you enjoy going to see Santa this week. Take care and we'll see you soon! Love, Bailey tina lawson <tina.lawson@cox.net> ladera ranch, ca - Sunday, December 5, 2004 6:58 PM CST Hi Kim, I know that it is such a fine line that you walk. I also know, first hand, how steroids can make you feel. Being an adult, I know that it makes you feel out of control, and just plain weird. It is VERY hard to keep ones self in check when on steroids. Being four, I am sure that he just doesn't know what the heck his body is doing, and he must feel so out of control. All things combined, his behavior is understandable. I know that your job is harder trying to keep a child who has been through SO much in check. Just trust your instinct. If you think that you need to cut him some slack, then do so, if you think some of his behavior is just acting out, then treat it accordingly. He is a good boy, with a big heart. I am sure that it looked worse to you, than it did to everyone else. I hope that all else is well, and that we see you very soon! Love, Deb Debbie Whaley <syracuse84@cox.net> Ladera Ranch, CA - Saturday, December 4, 2004 10:48 PM CST Wow Andrew! Your first Christmas program! I can see why you were so excited and happy......singing, dancing, tickling and being four! I am so proud of you. This Christmas season gives me a lot to reflect on, and how good God has been. I'm sure He will continue to bless and protect you. On another note, I need your help again!! Daddy is having a birthday and I want you to tell me what to get him. Thank you, Andrew, I love you. Grandma J <jannield@comcast.net> Costa Mesa, CA - Saturday, December 4, 2004 1:37 PM CST Hi Buddy! Hope you are feeling better and that your cough goes away. I have a cough too, it's no fun.

I love what you've done with your webpage Andrew, or should I say Kim. I just read about all the fun you have been having this week and over the weekend. You must love going to Disneyland and Lego Land. I enjoy going there myself. I hope you are feeling like eating more now than you did on Thanksgiving. You have to eat so you can get big and strong!!!

It was gracious, and brave! I hope the play room has adequately recovered. I can't wait for a chance to do it again .... I updated Kendrie's site and there are several pictures of Andrew on it as well. My favorite is the one of him and Kendrie at Sea World. :) Kristie (ALL List) Kendrie's Page <kristieokc@cox.net> Byron (Robins AFB), GA - Sunday, November 28, 2004 9:25 PM CST Hi Kim - Hope Andrew gets over his cold soon. Alex has one now too :-( I had to laugh about Andrew eating the butter and leaving the roll. That is what Emily always does. Glad you had fun with Kristie and family and friends. We wanted to go to Sea World or Legoland but decided that with Alex being as immuno-suppressed as he is it wasn't a good idea. Happy Holidays!

This thanksgiving, we are not only thankful for having two healthy children of our own, but thankful for having Andrew as a friend that we can consider our angel child:). We thank God for bringing Andrew into our lives as an inspiration and a special little guy that brings us hope and faith in God that he will be healed. We are sooo proud of his health accomplishments and believe that through love and support he will continue to get well. This is all temporary and we realize that this will pass, as Andrew has an incredible strength and spirit that God is protecting every day. Today, we thank God that he is a part of our lives - Thank God! Have a very Happy Thanksgiving to each of you- continue to be well and know that you are in our blessings!

Everyone felt your visit as answered prayer and enjoyed seeing you and sharing gifts. It sounds like you had a lot of fun with Grandma J the whole weekend she stayed at your house; she sure kept you busy! I'm so grateful to hear about these happy times, and my prayers continue for more of these blessings. March on, little soldier, and show we grown-ups how it's done! We love you!

My prayers are for Andrew, all the children, and all their families - each and every one of us in need of the Lord's mercy, healing power, and miracles. May the Lord walk with you through each and every day.

In fact your whole family looked really good. Didn't you have on a new suit? I am so glad that your fever went away and you were all able to attend Sunday. It was a blessed day indeed. The weather was perfect. God Bless you all! Kathi, Ske and Matt Romero (Sandals Church) <kathiske@cox.net> Mission Viejo, CA USA - Monday, November 15, 2004 5:16 PM CST Hi there Andrew - it's your ALL-list buddy Sam up here in Vancouver. Great news that you managed to battle that fever away! Hope you're still enjoying LTM, preschool and gymnastics. I know you'll probably be celebrating Thanksgiving pretty soon, so I wanted to send you my best wishes. Sam and family - www.caringbridge.org/canada/sam Vancouver, Canada - Monday, November 15, 2004 5:02 PM CST I'm so glad you didn't have to go to CHOC Andrew! I won't see you this week cause I have a cold, but here is a big HUG! Maureen Henson <mhenson@choc.org> Ladera Ranch, CA USA - Sunday, November 14, 2004 11:49 AM CST Hey Andrew! How are you feeling this morning? I am praying that your fever goes away and that you won't have to go to the hospital later. I know you are having so much fun in gymnastics and preschool! You will make alot of friends there and enjoy all the fun things that they have for you to do. Hopefully we will see you at church tomorrow. Kathi, Ske and Matt Romero(Sandals Church) <kathiske@cox.net> Mission Viejo, CA USA - Saturday, November 13, 2004 12:23 AM CST Hey Warrior Andrew.....you can fight that fever! I am praying that your fever goes away and stays away. You are such a big brave boy. How is school going? And gymnastics...WOW..a KINDEROO!!! Is Christine still a Tootsie Roll? Maybe when she's two she can be something else. Take care Andrew, and know that I'm praying really really hard for your fever to go away. I love you Grandma J <jannield@comcast.net> costa mesa, ca - Saturday, November 13, 2004 12:08 AM CST Andrew, It sounds like you are having a fun time in maintenance! I can't wait to do all of those things again - you deserve them though! What a strong and brave boy you are. You will have to show me some of the moves you've learned in gymnastics. We still haven't had that play date, but I'll keep bugging my mom until she puts it on the books!! Have a great weekend. Love, Bailey tina lawson <tina.lawson@cox.net> ladera ranch, ca - Friday, November 12, 2004 9:06 PM CST I received the flyer at work today with the picture of Doug and Andrew on it. I felt compelled to find out more and went to the website (must have been a little "nudge" from the Holy Spirit). I didn't get a lot done this afternoon as I read every journal entry on the site. What a roller coaster ride of a year! Andrew is a strong little man and will have a powerful testimony. Don't forget..."He will never leave you nor forsake you." I'm sure you have wondered many times if God had "checked out" for awhile and why was he allowing this to go on, but He is with you all the while and will carry you through. I will be praying for your precious little man that the treatment symptoms are bearable and that this is conquered completely with no lasting effects. Your story reminded me a lot of a little boy in our church for whom we have been praying without ceasing. He was born in September with a rare birth defect and had some serious complications associated with it. He too has a website that tells his amazing story www.quincylanders.com. In his short life, he too has brought thousands to their knees to pray, just as Andrew has. God has performed miracles in these two little boys' lives and has perfectly chosen them to carry out His purpose. He has great things in store for these little men!!!! Love and prayers to your family. Heather Muscatine, Iowa USA - Friday, November 12, 2004 8:38 PM CST Thank you so much for sharing this website and Andrew's story with me. Andrew is an absolutely beautiful little boy. I am happy to hear he is doing well now. I will pray for him to be "all better", and that you, your husband and family will continue to receive the strength you need to endure this battle. Debbie Campos <Rudyanddebbie@cox.net> Mission Viejo, Ca USA - Friday, November 12, 2004 6:58 PM CST Hey, I love the new photos in the album --- your comment about "Sleeping Beauty" was cracking me up! We are so excited to get to meet you guys in person in just a few weeks! Kendrie keeps asking to go to Andrew's site and "see" him, so I know she's getting excited, too. Hey, I remember Solvang! Do they still tell the "joke" when they are making the fudge, that the calories all escape during the "kneading" phase and it's calorie free? I bought a sweatshirt at the Rocky Mountain Chocolate Factory there that said on the front: "33 Reason to Love Chocolate" and then it had "I love it, I love it," etc, 33 times. Actually, I really loved that sweatshirt! Anway, I hope you guys have a great weekend, I'll e-mail you with more specific plans soon!

I know you still have a long battle ahead of you, but I was glad to see you looking so good. I like the way you can order Grandma around, no one else can get away with that.

Cuddling with you two while we had popcorn in bed (and there is STILL popcorn in the bed) was so much fun! I'm glad Mommy loved the pink Super(girl)man pajamas that you picked out for her birthday, and of course the snow hats and mittens for you and Christine. That might be why you wanted snowmen on your webpage! My trashman seemed awfully happy to see you screaming with excitment as he made his rounds this morning, and of course Sister-sister always likes to scream with you. Mommy and Daddy said you and Christine were soooooo good that you get to come back and spend two nights with me.....I can hardly wait! I pray that you continue to stay free of fevers, and most of all that the cancer stays away! God bless you, Mommy, Daddy and Christine. I love you. HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO MY LITTLE GIRL KIM!

Dana Caballero Dana Caballero <DLCaballero@cox.net> Coto de Caza, CA USA - Friday, October 15, 2004 4:41 PM CDT Hi Andrew, Just checking in to say hi and see how you're doing. I'm glad you got an answer for the headache and arm pain. Apparently you don't get to relax too much in LTM. Spencer is on hydrocortisone because his cortisol level is very low from all the steroids also. If you end up needing it ask for the pill form and crush it and mix it with cherry syrup or something similar. (Beware - the liquid form actually makes prednisone seem like it tastes good! So what do you have planned for your 4th birthday? Tell mom it's gotta be something special! I wish we could be there to celebrate with you. I'm glad things are going along mostly good. It sounds like TumbleBees is great fun! Looking forward to seeing you all in sunny California soon. This place is just too cloudy and drippy for us!

In Christ, Dawn Green Dawn Green <Dawn.N.Green@biola.edu> Irvine, Ca - Sunday, October 10, 2004 12:33 AM CDT Just a short hello from me,  Viks viks <viks@postpals.co.uk> - Sunday, October 10, 2004 6:21 AM CDT Hi Andrew and Family: We saw your picture with your Dad in the Team in Training mailing. You look like such a brave young man. You will be in our thoughts and prayers here in Chattanooga, TN. Take Care and God Bless You. --Anthony, Michelle, A.J. and Braden Paolucci Michelle Paolucci <ampaolucci@comcast.net> Hixson, TN USA - Sunday, October 10, 2004 0:14 AM CDT Kim I have been trying to get this message to you all day but don't see it coming up on the ALL-Kids email. So I hope this answers your question about tumors in T-ALL patients, from subject "T-Cell leukemia gene is found and new tx! (news)". When Dylan was diagnosed with T-ALL he had a very large (what the Drs. called) tumor in his chest, that was making it hard for him to breath when he laid down and even partially blocked his food from going down, which explained why he had choked on his food a couple of times before we new he had leukemia. The way I understood it from the doctors, was that a huge mass of leukemia cells had collected together in his chest to make a tumor. They started chemo on Dylan right away and within a week's time maybe less the tumor was completely gone. The chemo dissolved, so to speak, the tumor as the bad cells/leukemia cells were killed off. Hope this helps a little. Hugs, Kim Kimberly Agren 941 Roberval Drive Virginia Beach, Virginia 23454 kimberlyagren@cox.net Kim Mom to Dylan (12) dx 03/04/04 with T-ALL, relapse 8/13/04, earned his Angle Wings 9/9/04, Murphy (10)and Robbie (18) http://www.caringbridge.org/md/dylan Kimberly Agren <kimberlyagren@cox.net> Virginia Beach, VA - Saturday, October 9, 2004 8:21 PM CDT Dear Andrew and Family, We want you to know that you are all in our thoughts and prayers all the way out here in Chicago.

We will continue to keep you and your family in our prayers as you begin this new phase.

There are also details of this miracle at www.prayforcaleb.com on the update from Sept 19. We don't understand why some people are healed of this horrible disease, and others are not - but we must remain faithful and obediant to God, and trust in His plan.

We hope things continue to go well with the treatment plan-Andrew-kick cancer in the pants!!!Hugs from the Melkonians www.caringbridge.org/md/chrismelko Darlene and Christopher Melkonian <melkonid@comcast.net> Gaithersburg, MD - Wednesday, October 6, 2004 5:36 AM CDT Dear Sprague Family, I cannot tell you what an inspiration it was to walk along with you, your family, and all of you wonderful friends, yesterday! I am very sore today, because of my chronic illness, but I would not have missed it for anything. Andrew, You are such a treasure of a little man. You told me that a pirate was trying to hurt Peter Pan in the Light Parade, but Peter got away. It made me think that you are like Peter Pan, and that the pirate is like cancer. The bad cells have tried to hurt you, but you are a tough guy like Peter! You will beat the pirate! Kim, You are my hero!!! What more can I say. You did such an incredible job with the walk, and I know that you will continue to do more and more good in the world. You have such a big heart and such a kind spirit. Doug, It was so nice to finally meet you! When Andrews counts go up, and things settle down a bit, we would love to have you guys over for a barbeque! Christine, You are such a beauty! Your sweet little curls remind me of Aleahs when she was your age. I know that you were very overwhelmed, yesterday, but I hope that you had fun! Andrew is so lucky to have you as his little sister! It was so great meeting all of your friends and family, and like your grandma said, now we have faces to place with the names! By the way, Kim, your mom is such a nice lady! I am so glad that I got to meet her, and walk with her for a little while. Sorry this was so long, but I wanted to let you know how special the walk was to our family! Love you all, Debbie Deb Whaley <syracuse84@cox.net> Ladera Ranch, CA - Monday, October 4, 2004 4:56 PM CDT Hi Andrew- It was sooo fun walking with you and all of your friends this weekend at D'Land. I liked seeing you full of energy and running around like a crazy man- taking in all the excitement around you! I think I captured some great photos and I look forward to sending them your way. it was a fun filled day and I am so happy to be a part of such a great cause, in recognition of YOU- what an inspiration you are to keep up the fight and to live cheerfully. You are the best.....you know that right??? Hope you had fun, too- I know your sister did- her face was sooo cute hesitantly watching all the characters as she trotted along on your Dad's shoulders. Was she scared of them??? I think so- atleast some. What a great support she is to you as well. God Bless you both!

Kristie (ALL List) Kendrie's Page <kristieokc@cox.net> Byron (Robins AFB), GA - Monday, October 4, 2004 7:53 AM CDT Hey Andrew, What a fun day I had with you today. It was so great to see you and spend so much time walking with you. It was so special to me how you jumped into my arms right when you saw me and then you stayed there until the end. It was so neat to hear about your day at Disneyland the day before and just play color games while we walked and stuff. I dont know if you remember, but it was just about a year ago that I met you. God has blessed me in so many ways by bringing you into my life. You've tought me so much about strength and courage and have been a great inspiration to pursuing my career in oncology nursing. Thanks for everything you are awesome. Keep fighting kiddo and know that I'm always here to support you and pray for you! Love and Prayers In Christ, Dawn Green Dawn Green <Dawn.N.Green@biola.edu> Irvine, - Sunday, October 3, 2004 8:21 PM CDT Andrew, I had so much fun with you at the CHOC Walk today! Can you believe how many people showed up to walk with you? I'm so glad you got to meet some of my friends that I work with and their families....they all love you and pray for you too. And..It was really nice to meet so many of your friends and neighbors. I see so many of their names in your guest book, so now I know what they look like too. Familiar faces were there too...some from the Tahoe bike ride, John Taggart and his family, and of course your best girlfriend Dawn Green :)). It's been a year since the last walk when you and I stayed home...so here you are one year later walking the walk! You have come so far in your battle to beat cancer and I couldn't be prouder of you Andrew! The only thing left to say is THANK YOU JESUS for bringing us to this point in Andrew's journey. My prayers continue daily for our Lord's healing hand to guide you, Daddy, Mommy and your doctors. I love you Andrew Hey.....didn't Beauty look cute today?

Laurie Robinson <laurieswoodcrafts@cox.net> - Saturday, October 2, 2004 4:30 PM CDT Dear Andrew and Family, I saw a brief letter that Doug wrote in a TNT thing that was sent to me. I too had ALL when I was 5 and when I was 16 I ran a marathon in Anchorage,Alaska because I wanted to do something for others in need since I had been part of TNT program and had been a honored teammate for years I decided to give back. I saw your story and I just felt so close to Andrew even though I don't know I know what he's going through. I have to tell I have strong belief in God that he will cure your son, I am now 21 and I am 6 years cured of Leukemia. Your family will be in my prayers.

(even though I personally could skip the Chuck E Cheese festivities, ha!) I am so impressed at how much money you have raised for your walk ... is this the walk that earns Andrew a brick?

You are so observant...noticing the new paint job at IHOP (even if they "missed" some spots). The most fun was going to Chuck E. Cheese! I'm proud of you climbing all the way to the top of that big maze..you are such a big boy! Thank you for such a good time, we will have to do that again real soon. I am praying for you to stay in remission and that your counts start climbing. I love you from the bottom of my...LITTLE PEOPLE CARWASH!!!

In the inside cover was Andrew's photo, taken with his dad. At the bottom of the page was your webaddress, and I had to come check it out. Andrew looks so amazing! I was shocked when his picture loaded on the main page! He just looks great! My cousin, James, had Leukemia as a child and was given a 5% survival rate. Unfortunately, he was killed in a fire when he was 30 years old, however, he had been in full remision for nearly 20 years! I myself have a son with a Congenital Heart Defect called HLHS.

Monday was Christine's 5 1/2 month OT checkup and I'm somewhat embarrassed to say that I still have a hard time dealing with the anticipation even when nothing seems to be wrong. It's a feeling that never goes away, and it's a feeling that I hope you never have cause to feel again (or at least nothing beyond the routine paranoia!) Karin, mom to Christine <karin.mika@law.csuohio.edu> Berea, Ohio USA - Tuesday, September 21, 2004 4:43 PM CDT Andrew, YOU ARE OUR HERO!!!!!

Much Love, xoxoxox Jacob Murphy (Tiffany) www.caringbridge.org/ga/jacobm ALL Kids List <murphy108@comcast.net> GA - Monday, September 20, 2004 6:44 AM CDT Hi Andrew, I am praying extra hard tonight for you, Mommy, Daddy and Girlie Girl. I know your bone marrow test will come out clear...and you can start LTM soon! We all worry about these tests, but Jesus is in the drivers seat, and He not only knows the way, he IS the way. Maybe we have to make another cake with sprinkles so we can wake up your marrow!!! I need you to help me pretty soon, and give me some ideas for your birthday! Maybe you have some for Mommy too, her birthday is right after yours!! I have cute pictures of us all wearing birthday hats and having Baskin Robbins ice cream cake right after you were born....even baby Andrew had a hat! We all looked so silly!! Lots of hugs and kisses, I love you Andrew Janice <jannield@comcast.net> Costa Mesa, CA - Sunday, September 19, 2004 10:03 PM CDT Hi Sweet Boy!! Just wanted to let you know that we're thinking about you -- all the way from Washington, DC! (Actually, we live right outside DC - but we knew that you've probably heard of Washington before!). So sorry you have to have a bone marrow test tomorrow. Ashton knows from experience that they are NO FUN! BUT! Ashton also had a few extra bone marrows thrown in throughout his treatment due to "r" worries and you know what?? Turned out that it was just tired marrow! You're going to be okay, Buddy -- remember that, okay!!! In the meantime, we'll be thinking about you and saying some extra prayers for you and your family. Sheri & Ashton (age 8; t-cell all survivor) Schaffer <snschaffer@cox.net> Vienna, VA - Sunday, September 19, 2004 9:46 PM CDT Kim ~ Saying prayers that Andrew does just fine tomorrow and you'll be posting the ALL CLEAR on ALL KIDS by the afternoon. Believe me, I know how you feel all too well, but I also have total faith that the "routine" BMA will come back clear, Andrew's counts will rebound, and he will start LTM soon!! Thinking of you ~ Stacey (Chad's mom) Stacey Wada <SLW6204@aol.com> Las Vegas, NV USA - Sunday, September 19, 2004 6:32 PM CDT Hi Kim, Andrew, & family. Glad all went well last weekend. I am sure your happy its over. What an accomplishment! Glad to hear Andrew is doing well. My mother in law (who is old enough to say) recently had the BMA and said, she felt nothing. They seem to be able to medicate you enough and are so good at it any more that its relatively painless. They showed us the bone marrow in a small see threw vial when they were done. The needle had to be big as it was a good size peice they brought and she felt nothing. She was a little worried about it before they started. I will be praying for you both. I will also be making the kids a new blanket this next week. (My husband will be away in Florida on business) It will keep my mind off of worrying about the hurricanes til he returns. I will give to Heather to give to you. I have not found any fabric with the ambulance signs (cadesis)Sp on it but will coninue to look. I will be praying for no pain, more energy, and good results this next week and for many more fun days at Tumble Bees and Mc Donalds. Lisa Marcus <lmbaja@aol.com> San Clemente, CA - Sunday, September 19, 2004 4:47 PM CDT So sorry to hear about Andrew's counts still being low. We have had that happen a few times, and know how scary it can get, so we will be sending lots of prayers and positive thoughts your way for a clear bonemarrow and lots of new healthy cells. Mia, Anika's mum from ALL KIDS Marianne Wilke <sissca@primus.com.au> Brisbane, QLD Australia - Sunday, September 19, 2004 8:05 AM CDT Andrew, I would like to play with you again and have lunch together, maybe at Burger King. It would be nice to play at your house and my house too. Hope you have a fun weekend! Love, Bailey tina lawson <tina.lawson@cox.net> ladera ranch, ca - Saturday, September 18, 2004 8:39 PM CDT Hi Kim, I know how scary the BMA procedure sounds, but I promise you, Andrew will not really feel it, nor will he remember feeling it, very soon after. The doctors are very careful about making sure that the area is numbed before they even begin. Between the numbing agent, and the meds that they use to relax Andrew, he WILL do great! Just take a very deep breath, and it will be finished! We pray that all of the results come back clear, and that Andrew's little cells perk up very soon! Much love, Debbie Whaley Debbie Whaley <syracuse84@cox.net> Ladera Ranch, CA USA - Saturday, September 18, 2004 2:33 PM CDT Hey Kim and Andrew :-) Count us in on the big list of people sending prayers and well wishes your way for Monday's BMA. We went through a similar situation about a month and a half ago, and we know first hand how stressful the whole thing can be.

It sounds like it's pretty certain that your marrow is just tuckered out, so I will do a little cheer: GO bone marrow GO!! Keep on fighting, GOGOGO! Jennifer, Sam's mama from ALL kids www.caringbridge.org/canada/sam <samno@telus.net> Vancouver, BC Canada - Friday, September 17, 2004 6:15 PM CDT Tumblebees, McDonalds and the grocery store....all in one day?!!?

Jan (All-kids list) <jan866@aol.com> Glendale, WI - Wednesday, September 8, 2004 11:52 PM CDT Hi Andrew! I just saw you on the TNT leaflet which led me to your website. I was one of the TNT riders at Cool Breeze, and it was so great to meet you. Seeing you at the rest stops, and having you and your mom cheer us on from the car, was one of the best things about the day. I'll be riding again at Tucson in November and I have told all my friends about you and what a cool guy you are! I'm also going to be a marshall at the triathlon this weekend, so I will look out for your mom and cheer as loudly as I can when I see her. I hope you're feeling well, I'll be thinking of you and reading your diary often. Susan Witterick <susan.witterick@verizon.net> Santa Monica, CA - Wednesday, September 8, 2004 8:21 PM CDT Hi Andrew and Kim, Was Caillou gone for a little bit and now he's back on your site or am I imagining things? Has maintenance officially started yet? Andrew I'm glad you're starting to get a little of your vavoom back - at least sometimes! I hope the rest of your energy comes back soon along with your counts. Watch out Kim - you're going to have to leave your running shoes on all day. You may not even need to train anymore! Best wishes to everyone...Love, Kerri & Spencer Rocket www.spencerrocket.com <kerri@sideoff.com> Duham, NC Transplantsylvania - Wednesday, September 8, 2004 7:34 PM CDT Guess what Andrew? Because of your Dad and your Mom, and a co-worker of mine, I was inspired to go to an informational meeting for Team in Training. I didn't sign up right away, because I want to do the San Diego Rock-n-Roll marathon in June and they aren't training for that yet. BUT, I got a flyer in the mail yesterday from Team in Training and guess what????? It has the picture of you and your Dad from his century ride in Tahoe this past June! I opened it up and told my husband - I know him!!!! What a great picture. You must be so proud of your Mom and Dad. You hang in there. I'm praying for you. Briana Roehling Pflugerville, TX - Wednesday, September 8, 2004 9:16 AM CDT Hi Andrew! I just wanted to let you know what a brave little man, we all think you are! It was such a wonderful surprise seeing you last night, and I will email you the pictures we took, later today. Rachel is going to give a little speech about the CHOC walk at school, so that we can find out how many tee shirts mommy needs to order! Kim, Thanks so much for bringing Andrew over. Christine is such a cutie! Remember that even though it might seem like Andrew is "feeling" the pain from the BMA, it only lasts about 30 seconds, and he will "forget" about it very soon after. Put it this way, if I had to go through it again, I wouldn't be afraid. If you can get him to ice the site afterwards(later in the day), that will help a lot. Be strong, and pray hard! Much love Always, Debbie Whaley Deb Whaley <syracuse84@cox.net> Ladera Ranch, CA USA - Tuesday, September 7, 2004 1:26 PM CDT Andrew, I am praying for an easy time today, and that your counts are up, and the bone marrow aspiration is clear.

Even if it is delayed a couple of days you are on your way. Our 1961 train is a station behind you - we start DI in a couple of weeks. Seeing how far you have come gives us hope and inspiration. Also, I wished we lived closer (aside from the fact that I would be living in CA & not NJ) because Noelle would love the walk through Disneyland. God Bless you and your family.

I bet Christine is just crazy about you. Tell your family that we are thinking and praying for them too. Never forget that no matter how little or big you are that Jesus hears every prayer, even the ones you whisper.

I'll bet that both you and your children are very proud. My daughter, Rachel, is a cheerleader at Tesoro. She is captain of the freshman squad, and was wondering how many more "walkers" does Andrew need for a brick? She says she has about 160 very peppy cheerleaders that might be interested in participating. Let me know if it would be o.k. for Rach to print up some info to pass out to the Tesoro High School pep squad! Welcome home, Debbie Whaley Deb Whaley <syracuse84@cox.net> Ladera ranch, CA USA - Monday, August 23, 2004 6:22 PM CDT Hi Andrew, I just wanted to tell you what an inspiration you and your mommy and daddy are to me today. There is a scripture in the word of God that says "I can do all things in Christ that strenghtens me" Philippians 4:13. Every time I read your entries I am inspired. But today this scripture came to my mind, that God uses all things to bring Himself glory. And now I know and will be reminded everytime that I read your updates that this scripture is being fulfilled through your lives, that God's promises are true and he will be there for us if we allow Christ to give and be our strength. God bless you all! Love Valentine <val.hinojosa@rdmd.ocgov.com> orange, ca usa - Monday, August 23, 2004 1:01 PM CDT Hi Andrew and Kim, Ventura sounds like it was awesome.

Good Job....... Bill Heavens. Hope4Kids2 Bill Heavens,Hope4Kids2org <Hope4Kids2@aol.com,Hope4Kids2@yahoo.com> Sacramento, Ca. USA - Saturday, August 7, 2004 1:39 PM CDT Hey Andrew. Good job on your one year thingy. I've got one of those coming up soon too. I'm going to celebrate by telling my Mommy she is the best Mommy in the whole world (...my Dad just told me that I tell her that every day anyway, but...details). You have one of those Mommies too. This stuff really sucks but to get the best Mommies in the whole world out of it, and on Jupiter and Saturn too, that's a pretty big plus. Kids don't usually figure that out until they're big and grown up, but we know it now. So, on the big milestones, go kiss your Mommy, like I do. And you'll probably get to eat ice cream too.

Hopefully Kim,the problem is a low platelet number,I've had parents here at Hope4Kids2 report these headaches when the platelet leval gets low, What happens is,The cranial areas seem to get plugged from certain chemo drugs and it restricts,the blood flow to that area.Most reports from parents show this to happen,when the platelets get below the 20 range,Another cause of these kind of headaches comes from being in the sun while using6 TG and /or 6MP(mercaptopurine),Drs usually warn parents of this. But it is,labeled on the drug containers in most pharmacys.I plan on adressing these things in my new web site thats under construction,also.certain tree molds/weed pollen,contribute to this kind of thing during treatment,, Stay tough little guy.. We are all praying for you,as this will all pass,Its from these bumps in the road that we learn..Watching how good your Mom is doing on this journey,Im sure soon, you can all look back at all of this, as a bad dream,Start thinking about college Andrew.The world needs some new great Drs,and if you start thinking about being one of those,Then our world can once again be safe from these enviormental problems which are the cause of childhood cancers....Personally,I think you and your Mom are doing a great job...Big hugs to you all.

How mean of all those characters to have a meeting at the same time! My mommy kind of went through something similar (nothing even remotely as cool as Disney, though). I was delayed for two weeks because my counts were so low, but last week the nurse called and said I was good to go! My mommy started making all sorts of arrangments...when the nurse called back and said she did the wrong math! My counts weren't good enough either! UGH! Hope all goes well! We'll be thinking of you!

I have a picture of you on my desk, with your dad (he's wearing those cool sunglasses and that kind of funny-looking --but important-- bicycle helmet). I've known your Dad since we were kids, around nine years old, he's always been kind of a hero to me, and I've gotta tell you, I never thought that he would ride 100 miles on a bike! He's very lucky to have you as a son, and you're lucky to have him--and your mom and your sister and your whole family too, of course! I have some friends here in Atlanta who are also fighting leukemia, and I wanted you to know that they are rooting for you too, we all are. You and your whole family are in my prayers and in my thoughts more than you even know. Vince Tortorici <docpucci@mindspring.com> Decatur, GA United States - Tuesday, July 20, 2004 8:08 PM CDT Hello Andrew and Family - we are friends of Gregory Conklin and have learned of your website from his mother Abra. We have been checking in on you and reading your website atleast a couple of times a week. After reading that you have friends and family that have not been keeping communication with you we felt it important to let you know that we are here and praying for you daily. Andrew you are amazing!!!! We do not have a child that is sick so it is so hard to imagine what you are going through. Our faith is strong and we can see that yours is too. Keep up the fight and may God continue to bless you in every way. Greg, Nancy and Baylee Stipp <Bayleesmom3@aol.com> Gilbert, AZ USA - Tuesday, July 20, 2004 4:01 PM CDT Hey, Kim, I forgot to mention ..... both Terry J. and my husband can hear the new song on Kendrie's site from their computers, so I don't know what it is about the music that it plays for some people and not for others. (sigh). But if you want help doing it the way I did (because you have Cox, too, right?) I would be happy to give you the directions the way I did it. Obviously, there must be a better way so people can hear it all the time, but I'm happy to help if you want to try. :) Kristie (ALL List) Kendrie's Page <kristieokc@cox.net> Byron (Robins AFB), GA USA - Monday, July 19, 2004 10:05 PM CDT Howdy, Andrew! What a bummer to hear that Mickey had to go for a meeting and stand you up for dinner --- maybe he was planning some new sort of ambulance ride for Disneyland .... you know, one with caduses on it!!! In the meantime, I hope your visit tomorrow goes well .... LTM, here we come, woohoo! Kendrie, as dictated to her mom Kristie Kendrie's Page <kristieokc@cox.net> Byron (Robins AFB), GA - Monday, July 19, 2004 10:03 PM CDT Hi Andrew - Sorry you missed out on yur trip to Disneyland. That Mickey sure is a busy guy. My son Karl is an ALL-Kid too. We live near Pittsburgh but Karl has an aunt who lives near you and she has promised that as soon as he is feeling better that we can come out and she will take Karl to Disneyland. Maybe you can give him some tips on the best places to go. Take care and God bless you. Judy (ALL-Kid Mom) Judy Pamer <Kevinpamer@aol.com> Aliquippa, PA - Monday, July 19, 2004 7:45 PM CDT Hi Andrew! It has been too long since I have checked in- my computer acted up for about 5 weeks and it needed a visit to the "puter hospital" to get well...sooo we have not been able to keep in touch via this journal. We have been talking about you alot- infact a very good friend of mine was able to walk/run for the Lymphoma Society a while ago and she said she met you...now she understands why I keep such close contact with you- she said you are ADORABLE and SWEET and you brought her to tears...she said after she met you- it incentived her to walk twice in a 24 hour period and she woke up at 3:00 am to go back and walk for the society- she said you gave her that energy to do just that! I told her that she would fall in love with you once she met you! We are always praying for you and are thrilled to know that you love your caduses shirt still. We are always keeping our eyes out for more....infact in September, my son will be 7 years old and he wants to go to the Medix station and have a tour and have cake/ice cream with the medix emt partners.....he loves ambulances and fire paraphenilia sp? We will keep our eyes peeled for a special gift for you as well! I am happoy to hear things are stat and things are a bit brighter. I hope Dland works out for you and you are sooo lucky to be able to break through the crowds and go straight to the front of those long lines. That would be a dream in itself! I hope you have fun! Say "Hi" to Minnie for me- alongside Tinker bell, she is my favorite! I like how "Tink" has copped an attitude in the last 40 years! She is no longer just a fairy, but a fairy with an attitude! Go girl! A feisty one!! I will write soon- Love to you always and always know you have a big world on your side and we are all praying for you all the time.

I was just stopping by to see how your first day of DI#2 was. I am just a few weeks ahead of you and can tell you that in the beginning I was feeling great, now the decadron has really started to take it's toll on me. But on the brighter side of things, I gained weight from the steriods, and I hope that you are able to do the same thing, I know how your mommy worried about you growing! Well, take care and I will see you at the finish line by the end of the summer!

From your dad riding 100 miles on his bike, to your mom and your aunt training for their events, and your family sharing the Bible and helping to bring others to Christ. Wow!!! Praise God for families like yours. Between you, all the kids fighting cancer, and my co-worker who participated in the TNT San Diego Rock-n-Roll marathon, I am feeling lead to participate myself. I'm hoping to attend an info meeting in July and learn more about it. Best of luck to you during all of your treatment. You're in my prayers. Briana Roehling <brianaroehling@hotmail.com> Pflugerville, TX - Tuesday, June 29, 2004 1:56 PM CDT We're thinking of you and Andrew as you begin delayed intensification #2. I'm so glad to hear that feeding tube is out. It was a happy day for Maria when she had her's removed. I would imagine it really is annoying to have a tube running up your nose and down your throat. I don't know how our kids do it... they're just amazing! I hope you don't end up needing it again. As you know, DI does pack 14 days of higher dose dexamethasone so you all might be headed for a feeding frenzy. love, Ava & Maria (www.caringbridge.org/europe/maria) <madrilenos96@hotmail.com> Madrid, Spain - Tuesday, June 29, 2004 1:43 PM CDT Hi Andrew, I'm so happy to hear that you're doing so good and have been gaining some weight. Andrew something very funny happened here at Grandma J's work, do you want to know??? Well we noticed that she was wearing 2 different colored shoes... a blue & a red she was so embarrased but we thought it was funny. Can you teach her, her colors??? Well Andrew take care & keep on smiling! Ana Guerrero <Ana.Guerrero@pfrd.ocgov.com> Anaheim, CA Orange - Tuesday, June 29, 2004 10:44 AM CDT Wow! It is soooooo cool! that God works all things for good to those that love Him. And you and your family are testimonies of that. Praise the Lord! God is using you for His glory! I am so proud of you and thank God I know someone like you.....you know what Andrew.....I saw a lady today that was dressed kind of silly! She had on two different shoes, one red shoe and one blue shoe, not only were the colors different the shoes were different! She kinda looked like your Gramma Janice but I wasn't to sure....do you think that your gramma Janice would do something so silly and funny as to put on two different color shoes? Let's hope not huh. Cause that would be a silly gramma right? Any way, next time you see your gramma Janice ask her if she was the lady wearing the two different color shoes? Silly or not it sure was funny! God bless you and keep you, may he always shine on you! love Valentine <val.hinojosa@ocgov.com> orange, ca usa - Tuesday, June 29, 2004 10:36 AM CDT Good luck Kim with DI#2 and all best wishes to Andrew right on through to LTM!

I hope your DI starts out ok and goes smoothly and quickly. I'm feeling a little tired. Maybe I need to look for somebody's shoulders to ride on for a while, too! ps. Thanksgiving is getting closer and closer. Did your mom tell you that we are coming to Los Angeles at Thanksgiving and I'm hoping I get the chance to meet you!

Zachary sends a special Hello :-) Julie Lawrence(Sandals Chruch) <jalawrence@cox.net> laguna Niguel, Ca - Friday, May 28, 2004 10:50 PM CDT Hi Kim and Andrew, I wish so much that Andrew wasn't having to deal with one more thing. But I was so happy to hear that you can already see a little more fullness in Andrew's cheeks. It was good to hear him sounding spunky today! I have a good feeling that when he gets past this bump and puts some of his weight back on he is going to be feeling great. Just close your eyes and hang on - hopefully the next DI will fly by and then you will be in LTM! It is great news that the NG tube isn't bothering him too much. At least that will make this phase easier on him. Praying the rest of the cultures are all clear and no more fevers, so Andrew can be heading home soon. Remember our date for a day at the beach when all this is behind us! Sending lots of good wishes and hugs and prayers your way.

I know this is not fun the least bit but the good thing is is that you are surrounded in so much love and prayer, there is no way that you won't kick this infection out of your body. You are a trooper...remember that when you feel scared, cuddle the little teddy bear we gave you from the firemen and he will ease some fears. Hang in there and I look forward to hearing some healing news shortly. Keep that tube in place- I know it is yucky but it is building your muscles and fattening you up!

Angela Baby Jacobs Page SMA type 1  Angela Trick <angetrick@hotmail.com> Peterborough, Ontario, Canada - Sunday, May 23, 2004 11:34 PM CDT Hello, My name is LeeAnne Clark, and I too am a Team in Training participant, on the Santa Barbara triathlon team. We are training for the Maui Olympic-Distance Triathlon on June 13. I heard of Andrew from a friend of mine who lives in Orange County, and I wanted to stop in to tell you that I will be thinking of Andrew as I do my triathlon. Our honored teammate is a young man who had Leukemia as a very young child (like Andrew), and is now 21 and has been cancer-free for many years. He is an inspiration to all of us on the Santa Barbara tri team. And now I have brave young Andrew as further inspiration! I know in my heart that all of my efforts for the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society will add even more power to the fight against these diseases. I've been working very hard in both my fundraising and my training, but that is nothing compared to the work that you, Andrew, and your family have been doing and will continue to do in your fight to beat your illness. With so many people who care about you and are pulling for you, I know you'll do it. And when I finally cross the finish line in my race, I'll know that we are that much closer to reaching our goal of finding a cure. All my love to you, Andrew, and to your family, and my best wishes for your Dad to have an exhilirating ride in Lake Tahoe! LeeAnne LeeAnne Clark <leejnd@adelphia.net> Thousand Oaks, CA USA - Sunday, May 23, 2004 10:28 PM CDT Good Morning Sweetheart Andrew! I want to thank you sooooo much for a nice evening last night. I'm glad you like the colored cookie dough...and the cookies turned out FABULOUS! Mommy and Daddy were so excited when they got home. Thanks for letting me take a few home with me...I will share with some of your special friends. You have taught me so much about sharing..actually you have taught me so much about LIFE!! How about those wonderful 5th graders?? Everyone is so proud of them for caring so much and working so hard to help find a cure for leukemia. Someday they will look back and realize what a good example, and how inspiring they were. God bless them all, and their teacher Mrs. Obleas. I hope your tummy starts feeling better, and your legs stop hurting. I pray for extra protection for you during this phase of treatment...just hang tough sweet Andrew...you've come such a long way for a little boy. Our Lord is holding you tight (just like I do!). Lots of hugs and kisses to you and sister, mommy, and daddy. I Love you, Andrew grandma J <jannield@comcast.net> Costa Mesa, CA - Sunday, May 23, 2004 11:31 AM CDT Just wanted to drop by and say HI!

You can't keep anything down, and I can't keep anything out of my mouth...could we meet in between somewhere? I think then we would make both of our mommies happy!

Heaven knows why you have to suffer so much! I do want to thank you for being an amazing little trooper during these very difficult times. I am so proud of you and how well you've handled yourself during all the yukky stuff you have to deal with each day.

So glad to hear that the LP and BMA came back clear. Huge sigh of relief out here in NC. It's terrible what you have to put up with from some of the nurses. I think they need some sensitivity training! I am so glad your onc stands up for you with the nursing supervisor. That must help a lot. I hope you and Andrew are back home soon and this is the end of the fever. Saying extra prayers and sending a big hug for Andrew and your whole family. Tell Andrew Rocket says hi!

Love, Kerri and Spencer Rocket www.spencerrocket <sideoff@slonet.org> Cambria, Ca usa - Monday, May 17, 2004 8:44 PM CDT Dear Sprague Family, Ever since posting a note to you a few weeks ago letting you know that through the extended (and often anonymous) Ladera Ranch Family I feel that I have come to "know" you, I have come back to check on your entries nearly every day. We have a 3-year old and a 5 1/2 year old and just can't imagine all that you are going through. Wow. I look at Andrew's precious photo as if he were our son Bradley and just can only imagine how tremendous this trial has been for you and your family. Even though these last months have been something beyond a miraculous endurance effort for you all please know that you are inspiring others beyond what God would even imagine!! Your story makes us want to prioritize our family lives to feel so thankful for all we have and your story encourages us to PRAY WITHOUT CEASING so you can experience a completely "whole" and healthy family once again. Our prayer for your family is that you will experience God's great grace and that through the toughest and loneliest (is that even a word?) of times God would bring you strength and blessings. I am going back to school for a career change and my new career will be to become a nurse. I have debated for a long time whether I would lean towards oncology and because of reading about little Andrew and his friend Spencer my choice has been confirmed. You have touched us beyond words!!! If you ever need anything from an "anonymous" and new friend in Ladera, please don't hesitate to look us up! Christina and Mark Patow (and Bradley and Jessica) The Patow Family <patow@cox.net> Ladera Ranch, CA USA - Monday, May 17, 2004 8:07 PM CDT Hey Kim and Andrew, So glad to hear everything was clear. Whew! Big sigh of relief there. I hope they figure out what the fever problem is soon and you can get out of "the big house" and home to your own germ free beds. Thinking of you... Sue (from the ALL list), Katie and Family Ottawa, Ontario Canada - Monday, May 17, 2004 7:32 PM CDT Hey there Andrew! I am so glad to hear that your marrow aspiration and biopsy are free of blasts. You have come so far, and it's been such a long road for you (and mommy and daddy), and you have been such a brave trooper through it all! What a hero you are. I wish I could bring you a dolop of Daisy. I love that commercial too, but I don't know the song yet, so maybe you can teach me! I hate the thought of you having a tube in your nose to feed you...but it will make you REALLY STRONG and make you big with lots of muscles so you can get your appetite back.......actually Andrew, you can have mine! I continue to pray for you, mommy, daddy, and baby sister. Good night sweetheart, I love you. grandma J <jannield@comcast.net> Costa Mesa, CA - Monday, May 17, 2004 7:19 PM CDT Hi Everyone- We are praying for you and hope that your fever goes away. Excellent news on the bone marrow/biopsy- what a relief! It is great to hear positive progress and to know that God is taking care of you the best he can. Remember his hands are full with all the children in the world, so please try to be patient with him and his workings...we are all trying and praying and hoping for the best in all situations. In the meantime, we have sent you a cuddly something to keep close to you during the times of scary moments. A fireman gave it to me to give to you. Much love and support always- Valerie Farrell RSM, ca USA - Monday, May 17, 2004 7:05 PM CDT Hi guys, Hoping the fever goes away and so do those mean 'ol nurses! Watch out!

Lori Anne (ALL-kids mom to Amanda) <galer404@dejazzd.com> Mifflinburg, PA - Wednesday, May 5, 2004 1:07 PM CDT Hi Andrew, I'm so sorry that you are back at CHOC :( The silver lining of course is getting to come visit you at dinner time!! The picture you made for me is sitting right here by my computer, and I LOVE IT....I think I will bring it to work so all your friends at The County can see what a good artist you are. I am praying that your fever goes away soon so you can break out of there. I am also praying for our Lord Jesus to hold Spencer really tight tonight on the eve of his transplant, and especially tomorrow on his new "birthday". Lots of hugs and kisses for you, mommy, daddy and Christine. I love you, Andrew...Good night sweetheart. Oh!! Yes!! I saw you waving to me from your window at CHOC..mommy too!!! Grandma J <jannield@comcast.net> Costa Mesa, CA - Tuesday, May 4, 2004 11:42 PM CDT Kim, Your latest column brought tears to my eyes - what an inspiring group of young people! Thank you so much for sharing such a wonderful story. Thinking of you all Laura Piper mom to Dani (http://www.caringbridge.org/ia/danisdiary) <laurapiper@hotmail.com> - Tuesday, May 4, 2004 11:42 AM CDT What a great story! There are so many wonderful kids out there who are willing to do so much for others. I've noticed in our journey with our son, Lucas, that once you attach a cute little face (and Andrew is certainly another cutie)to such a monster like cancer, it really pulls at people's heartstrings. It's the face that really motivates and empowers others. Hold tight! A caringbridge and ALL-kids friend, www.caringbridge.orgt/canada/lucashammond Frances and Lucas <hammonds@wincom.net> Amherstsburg, - Monday, May 3, 2004 8:34 PM CDT Dear Andrew, I'm just stopping by to say hi, and to let you know that I'm praying for you. Stephanie and RachelJoy <sstrom@quik.com> - Monday, May 3, 2004 6:43 PM CDT Happy Monday! It is a beautiful day out here in the Rockies. Glad to hear youre home, Andrew. We hope you are able to get out and enjoy the weather. Good news here at Regis Jesuit HS. The students raised over $700 last Friday in honor of their classmate Andrew (with you in mind as well). The money will go to the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society. YEAH!!! Our love, thoughts and prayers continue. Auntie Kelly & Family <kdorsey@regisjesuit.com> Aurora, CO - Monday, May 3, 2004 2:18 PM CDT Hi Kim, Glad to hear you got out of the hosptial. To give you a bit of hope - Katie started LTM at the and of Jan. She did not grow at all between dx in Aug and Jan. Since Jan she has grown almost 2 inches! I know Andrew is having more intense treatments but maybe he will start growing like a weed in Aug and make up for lost time? Susan (ALL list) and Katie Ottawa, Ontario Canada - Monday, May 3, 2004 11:34 AM CDT Hi Andrew, That sure is the tough part of this business - you just start feeling good again and back you go for more. Still it's great you keep bouncing back and are doing so welll on such a tough protocol. Tell your mom no way to the ATG though. Yuck! Hives and 105 degree fevers and barfing and pooping - no way! It really wipes out your immune system too. I hope you got to have some fun over the weekend. I heard the weather has been beautiful in California. It's pouring here and thunder and lightning and tornado warnings - real ones this time. Good grief, you think it would be safe out here - well no earthquakes at least! We are keeping you in our prayers. Hoping this round is easy on you and you bounce right bagk again. Thanks for all your support the last few months Kim...Love, Kerri and Spencer Rocket Kerri Caserio <sideoff@slonet.org> Cambria, Ca usa - Monday, May 3, 2004 11:15 AM CDT Hi, Andrew! I hope your chemo appointment goes well today. Not a great way to start the week, I know, but at least then it's over for a few days, right? (that's called "being optimistic" but I have to admit, some days it's harder to do than others, ha!) Let me know what you mom and dad find out about your pants falling down. While I know they are concerned that you are not growing, I am having the opposite problem. Maybe between the two of us we could come up with a happy medium! :) Have a great week!

Andrew, I'm so glad you like your new CD....and you are having a nice weekend. It was fun going to KFC with you and sister...let's see if my memory serves me...popcorn chicken, corn on the cob, cheese fries (and a ROOTBEER FLOAT courtesy of your new "best friend" George thank you, George!). As usual I had fun watching Spanish tv (Jerry Springer style :)) and Extreme Surgery on "the doctor channel". Just so you know, Andrew...my favorite song on your new CD is "I'm a Believer"...because I believe our Lord Jesus is holding you close and walking with you on your journey to being cured. God bless you, and kisses and hugs for you, mommy, daddy and Christine. Grandma J Costa Mesa, CA - Sunday, May 2, 2004 2:53 PM CDT Hi Andrew, My dad just showed me your web site - he has known your dad for a long time. I think you are the toughest kid I know, and I think you are a hero. Your friend Steven May Steven May <mayfamilypj@earthlink.net> Raleigh, NC USA - Sunday, May 2, 2004 12:35 AM CDT Hi Andrew! I just saw all the cool pictures of your dad and the gang. They are so neat. You must be so proud of your dad for doing this grueling ride to earn money for leukemia. I'm sorry I haven't written to you and your family on here lately, we have been having computer problems. I want you to know that we pray for you daily that God will heal you and keep you strong. You are such an inspiration to others Andrew. God Bless you and your family. Kathi, Ske and Matt Romero <kathiske@cox.net> Mission Viejo, CA United States - Saturday, May 1, 2004 9:14 AM CDT You all don't know us but we know of you through gals in my neighborhood (Chimney Corners in Ladera). I am so inspired by your courage and belief that God has us go through different trials in different seasons of our lives. While this must be so incredibly challenging for your family, know that your family is a tremendous blessing for others while they endure their own struggles. God is smiling down on Andrew seeing the joys and smiles he is bringing to so many faces that he doesn't even know! We will continue to pray for Andrew and your family continuously. In His Precious Name, The Patow Family Christina, Mark, Jessica and Bradley Patow <patow@cox.net> Ladera Ranch, Ca - Friday, April 30, 2004 9:57 PM CDT Andrew I loved the video of you and the baby!

Just wanted to stop by and see how you are doing. Glad to see you were able to leave the hospital. I bet it is nice to sleep in your own bed! Hope your tummy troubles work themselves out soon (also for your mommy and daddy!) Anyhoo...I'll check back soon! Nicholas www.caringbridge.org/oh/nicky Kim Knauss <kknauss@email.com> Avon, OH - Thursday, April 29, 2004 0:08 AM CDT Hi Andrew, I am very happy to see you are out of the hospital. Sorry to read about all the vomiting around your house these days. Good grief, that must smell a little scary! Is your mom tossing all tha bedding again? I hope you get the constipation problem worked out - you have Spencer's sympathy on that one. It seems like treatment is always causing one or the other and it gets pretty frustrating and uncomfortable too. Hope you are feeling better soon. You are in my prayers every day. Love, Kerri and Spencer Rocket Kerri Caserio <KERRI@SIDEOFF.COM> Cambria, CA USA - Wednesday, April 28, 2004 7:16 PM CDT Hey there Cutie Pie! Glad that you are better today.

I really enjoyed my visit with you and Mommy at CHOC. Can you even believe what a great room you have? Big windows looking out at the ambulance entrance to ER! There's nothing better than eating dinner and watching the Ambulances come and go....some red, some blue, some white, and some green.....but the best ones are the ones with CADUSES on them! Thank you for sharing your dinner with me...the white rice was delicious, and so was the grilled cheese. I wonder how they make that without any butter! I pray that the antibiotics continue to work, and that your lab results are good. I love you Andrew, GOOD NIGHT SWEETHEART. grandma J <jannield@comcast.net> Costa Mesa, CA - Tuesday, April 27, 2004 0:17 AM CDT Hi Andrew, I heard you are taking a little vacation, nice positive spin on that one! I am glad you are not vomiting anymore - I hope the fever stays away and your cultures come back negative so you can spend the rest of the vacation at home with Christine. Spencer sends his love and hugs. Wish we were home and we were having our get together like we were suppposed to be doing this month...we will just have to postpone it a bit. Remember careening around with an IV pole is a good way to exercise mom. Sending prayers and hugs your way for a short stay in Sing-Sing - I mean a short vacation. Love, Kerri and Spencer Rocket Kerri Caserio <rocket@sideoff.com> Cambria, CA usa - Monday, April 26, 2004 9:25 PM CDT Dear Andrew and Family, I just got done reading the homepage of this website and Wow! I was moved... especially when you said that Andrew doesn't have the choice to have chemo and all of that.. he doesn't and its not fair that he has to endure this at such a young age. I'm very proud that you are going to do the bike ride. My sister (Elizabeth Burkholder) is also doing the bike ride and after reading this I'm so glad that she is. It's for something so truly amazing, its a chance to give people a chance to live. After reading the home page I thought to myself, I have no reason to complain about being tired or all the homework I have, there's people out there who are tired and can't help it, I should be thankful that God has made me healthy. I need to remember that some people don't have that choice to be healthy. So thank you for reminding me of that! I hope that all goes well in the future for you guys. I'll be praying for you! Just remember that God will never leave you, He's always with you wherever you are! Tara Burkholder <Lilburkie@hotmail.com> Alexandria, MN US - Monday, April 26, 2004 8:26 PM CDT Hi Andrew - We are sorry to hear that you and mommy are in the hospital.

Susan (ALL list) and Katie Ottawa, Ontario Canada - Monday, April 26, 2004 8:02 PM CDT We're sorry to hear you're not feeling well right now, Andrew. But what an exciting weekend you had!

The Redd's <theredds@cox.net> Ladera Ranch, CA - Monday, April 26, 2004 5:21 PM CDT Way to go TNT!!! What an inspiration! There is also a Triathlon September 26 at Walt Disney World in Orlando!

Jacque Davidson <jacquedavidson@hotmail.com> Cocoa, FL USA - Monday, April 26, 2004 8:33 AM CDT Thank you all for the inspirtation, motivation, and support you continue to provide to the team each and every week.

Lesa Weinert, TNT Cycle Coach <lsweinert@aol.com> - Sunday, April 25, 2004 9:55 PM CDT Kim, what great photos in the album! How inspiring to be part of something so wonderful; I'm sure your whole family must come away with a renewed sense of committment and optimism (and in Doug's case, sore legs and a sore tush!) :) Although I don't know Jill personally, the next time you see her please tell her that I think she is an amazing person! As an able-bodied person who hasn't been on a bike in years ---- I think she rocks!! I have been offline all weekend; three days at a local scrapbook retreat, wahoo! Unfortunately (fortunately?) for me, it was unlike your last retreat where you got 51,000 pages done! I only got about twelve total. I was too busy eating and chatting --oh well, there's always next retreat, right? Hope you guys have a great week!

Hopefully you can have a few quality days with some fun before your next chemo. I wrote down all the stuff you told me you were "running out of"......croutons (all flavors), mac & cheese, popcorn, taquitos, corn dogs, and root beer! I can't wait to hear your Archies CD because all those songs sound so cool! Maybe we can play band while we sing them, ok?

My mom told me that we are getting the same kind of "fighting power" cool! I am 5, how old are you? My mom also told me that you live very far away from us because I asked her if you could come to my house to play since your counts were low too, she said it would take you 6 hours to get here in an airplane, that sure is far, so she told me to send you a message on the computer. Take care and if you ever come to Plum Boro you can come over to play with me and my brother Nick, he is only 2. From you friend, Victor Flinko www.caringbridge.org/pa/victort Apryle Flinko <mansroom36@aol.com> Pittsburgh, PA - Tuesday, April 20, 2004 8:13 PM CDT Hey, we've been to Big Bear! This was waaaaay back, before kids, and Blaine and I spent a weekend at Christmas time at a bed and breakfast. I remember thinking it would be so romantic, drinking wine in the hot tub while the snow came twinkling down --- NOT! We froze our tushes off and then played rock paper scissors to see who had to get out and run to get the towels we so carelessly left lying on the other side of the patio! :) I'm glad the training is going so well, and want to wish Doug continued good luck! Hope Andrew is feeling well. Kendrie got one teeny tiny mouth sore a few weeks ago. We taught her to swish and spit with water, which she thought was BIG fun, then as soon as we replaced the water with Biotene, she refused to do it. Fine. Whatever. Kristie (ALL List) Kendrie's Page <kristieokc@cox.net> Byron (Robins AFB), GA - Monday, April 19, 2004 1:58 PM CDT Hi I hope that Andrew is feeling better.

In Christ, Dawn Green Dawn Green <Dawn.N.Green@biola.edu> - Saturday, April 17, 2004 12:09 AM CDT Hey Andrew, Gregory's mom here - I am so thrilled that you got to look for Easter Eggs! I hope you found some interesting things in your Easter Basket too! It's so wonderful to hear about moments of joy - like the Cadesus cup! We try to find those little miracles each day. Just this week Gregory decided making Easter eggs out of Claydough was the most fun he's had in weeks. We did go to the playroom at CHOC this week and brought some fun ballons to make animals, hats, and flowers out of. We'll be sure to save you some so you can pick something out of our book to make the next time you have to spend time at CHOC. Please tell your mommy and daddy how much you love them, because I know it will make them smile! I'm sure they tell you how much they love YOU EVERYDAY! We put more pictures of Gregory and friends (like the dogs that visit CHOC) on our website, so you can check it out at www.GregoryConklin.com Blessings be with you Andrew - stay strong!

I think I just deleted what I said, so sorry if it is a repeat...I followed the directions and still nothing. ANYWAY, you are such a brave boy! What a precious story of your cadesus cup. Wonderful how God sends us signs that he is with us! Talyor is in the air RIGHT NOW on her way to California. She is styaing at Grandma Janice's house, so hopefully you can at least talk to her, if not see her. I know she would love to see you, though. I am glad that your labs are better. Got is so faithful. We continue our prayers. Sometimes is seems so little that that is all we can do, but God hears. When we are weak, HE IS STRONG! Keep being strong just like JESUS! He loves you. Me, too. Jacque <jacquedavidson@hotmail.com> Cocoa, FL USA - Friday, April 16, 2004 10:35 PM CDT I can't believe it! CHOC has dixie cups with caduses on them? Now I know our Lord answers all prays...big and small. You are so brave Andrew....getting all kinds of chemo and big shots in your leg...all this with yucky tummy aches. Your nurse seems like she is very nice and gentle with you too. I have to tell you something really funny...Last night, Trea and Aaron slept here. Trea slept on my couch and Aaron slept with Aunt Kristine. In the middle of the night I thought I was dreaming because I heard you say "I love you mum". Well, I jumped out of bed and ran in the living room...guess what?? You weren't there, but Trea was sleeping with "Puppy" and she squeezed his paw and I heard your sweet voice. I think I will start sleeping with "Puppy"..it will be almost like cuddling with you, sweet Andrew. Know that I am praying for you, mommy, daddy, and Christine.

I am so sorry. I wish I could share some of that so you wouldn't feel so bad. I guess you have to just remember that the medicine is helping you and that you sometimes have to feel bad before you can feel good. I also saw your Easter pictures and I am so jealous. I have never been on an Easter egg hunt or egg roll and I am a really old person. I saw a bunch of eggs behind you on the grass. I hope they ended up in your basket. I will be thinking about you and praying for you tomorrow as I do every day. I love you and look forward to when your grandma J gets to bring you back in to my office. (I've got a bunch of pennies for someone to put in their bank!). Maureen Gunton <loxandlo@aol.com> Santa Ana, CA USA - Wednesday, April 14, 2004 3:57 PM CDT Hi.

We are glad to hear that things are looking up for you! I know that this means back to more treatments, but we trust our sovereign God that His wisdom will prevail and that everyone is making the best choices. We pray for wisdom for Mommy, Daddy and the doctors every day. I met a girl named Meg at the YMCA today who has MS (ask mom and dad about that). She has come a long way in fighting for her disease. She has fought and prayed her way back to good health. She told me that she used to love to run and can't anymore, but her best friend runs a marathon (a LONG way) for her every year and raises money on her behalf.

I like your mask, and it's nice that you get to keep your it. Some day you will look at that mask and know that you were the bravest boy in the whole world. I had so much fun making PEEPS with you! Wait until your Mommy sees them! She will be so proud of you! I know it had to be hard for you to save her some, especially since we could only make 12 peeps out of the ingedients that came with it and one additional refill kit. You did a great job!! You and Christine were so much fun at the park, and I love blowing bubbles with you both. Thank you, Doug for taking me to lunch with you and the kids, and sharing your precious quality time with the kids with me. I will pray for an easy time tomorrow when you get your chemo and leg shot... OUCH! Lot's of love and kisses to you, Mommy, Daddy, and Christine.

I'm sending love and healing energy from Ontario, Canada mia http://www.the-healing-tree.com Mia <miafriedrich@lincsat.com> Staffa, ON Canada - Saturday, March 20, 2004 6:46 AM CST Hey Andrew - This is Gregory's mom - your friend from CHOC. We are filled with joy to hear that you are now finished with the radiation. We hope you will just forget these moments when you are older and just remember how your nurses, doctors, family, and friends were always around you cheering you on and giving you love and attention. I can't wait to hear of the adventures your dad has on the bike ride. I've only been able to work up to the 5K races for charity, but a friend of mine did the Honolulu Marathon to raise money for kids and the Lymphoma/Leukemia Society. I'm sure your dad will meet his goals - he has you for inspiration! We all have truly developed a relationship with God because of you (and Gregory). We appreciate every moment we share with you and are filled with such emotions that make us feel alive! Thank you for your spirit little one! We'll see you soon - and Gregory will create a piece of artwork for you as soon as he is able - we have two of your creations hanging in his room at CHOC! You can visit Gregory in a way by visiting his website for now at www.GregoryConklin.com and looking around there. Stay Bright!

The Redd Family <theredds@cox.net> Ladera Ranch, - Friday, March 19, 2004 2:20 PM CST Boy oh boy, Andrew...no sedation for the radiation...that's pretty cool, big man!!! Ashton had cranial radiation when he was your age, too -- but he needed the sedation because he didn't want to hold still. Good for you for being so brave!! :-) I know your mommy and daddy are worried about late-term effects. We sure were with Ashton! It's hard not to be when you read all about the side effects. However -- I want to share this with you -- so you can share it with your mommy and daddy... Ashton just had neuropsych testing this past week and they will be comparing that to the baseline neuropsych testing he had done before CR. But they told me that my little boy is doing very, very well (and it's been 4.5 years now since he had the CR). He's keeping up in 1st grade and is oh so smart! You will be, too, big man, I just know it!! Ashton loves to run and play soccer and ride his scooter and play on the computer and do all kinds of things that normal, healthy kids his age can do (Ashton is 7.5 now)! So give your mommy and daddy big hugs from us and tell them to TRY not to worry. You're doing beautifully!! :-) Sheri (& Ashton) Schaffer <snschaffer@cox.net> Vienna, VA - Friday, March 19, 2004 11:54 AM CST Andrew - Wow am I ever impressed little man! You are so awsome and brave to do your radiation awake! I don't think I would like to have my head bolted down for even a second - gives me the shivers to even think about it. Almost done - keep up the good work! Susan (from the ALL list) and Katie Ottawa, Ontario Canada - Thursday, March 18, 2004 8:18 PM CST Hola Andrew, You are such a brave little man!

I have to be quick, I just overheard mom on the phone upstairs telling her friend that she was on her way downstairs here to kick me off the computer...time is of the essence. Hey, did you know that Caillou is Canadian? Yessir, he's a little French dude and he originally started in Quebec. I was checking out your mask, it looks pretty intimidating, but just think of it as a goalie mask and you'll do fine! I'm about 4 months behind you on the radiation thing, my mom and dad will be hitting yours up with some radiation questions when it's my turn in June/July. Take care buddy! Luv, Julianna Banana <tjosephson@shaw.ca> Winnipeg, Canada - Monday, March 15, 2004 10:12 PM CST Good morning, Andrew. I came to your page, and saw you and Daddy's picture, and read his pledge! How proud I am of you and your Dad! What a team you make. I can't even imagine riding a bike one mile let alone 100! Some day you will look back and realize the love and dedication your Mommy and Daddy have for you, and their determination to find a cure for this nasty leukemia, so you, and other innocent children will no longer have to endure years of treatment, pain and suffering. I pray for our Lord Jesus to bless you with added strength on this journey, and for your Daddy as he trains for this awesome 100 mile ride around Lake Tahoe. God bless you, Daddy, Mommy and Christine.

My little girl, Francesca, was dx on 01/21/03 and she is now half way thru her treatment!

Douglas Mollo <MolloLaw@aol.com> St. James, NY Good 'ole USA! - Sunday, March 14, 2004 9:11 PM CST Dear Sprague family, I am so proud of Andrew for doing such an amazing job of staying still for the radiation without any meds!! I have to tell you, that I had lasik surgery when I was 36 years old, AND I had valium, AND I could barely summon the self-control to lay still on that table. So obviously, even though he is younger by 33 years and is having incredibly intense procedures as opposed to cosmetic, he is more poised than I was, and I cheated with valium!!! I am so very impressed! I hope your weekend has been great!

Andrew, I hope that you will get to go home soon and feel better. Carol Carol <carol.murray@pfrd.ocgov.com> Santa Ana, CA USA - Tuesday, March 9, 2004 2:49 PM CST KIM- Great actions on your behalf- I thank god for giving you the energy to fight a system that is very broken- My father was a physician- I know first hand all the beuracratic (sp?) red tape and hoops the hospital puts you through! It is sad that a system can be so broken and the right resources are not allocated in the right areas- hospitals and schools suffer the most! There needs to be more than a CHOC and Mission Hospital in OC to treat these patients- the overcrowding is a big problem, and a lack of competent staff is another- I am so sorry that your family has gone through this - I pray for your family and I am asking God to help our systems- more so, the people who work in the systems. It is a very frustrqting cycle, esp when you have a little one who gets the brunt of it all. I hope todaygoes well for Andrew- we are praying for him as we speak - He is going to amaze us all...I know it! Valerie Farrell RSM, CA USA - Tuesday, March 9, 2004 1:42 PM CST Kim, Glad to hear you were able to get things moving - really it should not be such a battle to get the treatment that Andrew needs. Liked the new pictures - sorry to hear that Andrew was feeling nauseated for your outing. I forgot the Zofran and other meds once while we went on an outing and it is safe to say I won't be forgetting them again anytime soon. It is so hard when they can't really tell you how they are feeling - Katie tells me she has a sore throat when she is nauseated ( only took me 3 months to figure that one out) Anyway I hope things go well with Andrew over the next couple of weeks - we will be thinking of you and praying for the best. Susan (ALL list) and Katie Ottawa, Ontario Canada - Tuesday, March 9, 2004 1:40 PM CST Good letter and great pictures-the reality is there-fun and throwing up -it's all part of it- Kim-keep up the Fight and the good work!

(((HUGS))) Lori Anne (ALL-kids Mom) <galer@ptd.net> - Monday, March 8, 2004 1:22 PM CST Oh Kim, that picture of him leaning over with his daddy just broke my heart. I so wish our kids didn't have to feel so icky sometimes. He's adorable though, and I'm so glad he was able to have some fun in between feeling sick. Andrew - you'll have to come visit us in Michigan some time - we get snow from November to April! Hope your counts are up and you're able to start radiation this week. I know you just want to get it over with and behind you!!! Take care, Kathi and Melanie (www.caringbridge.org/mi/melanie) <mom2melanie@chartermi.net> Cadillac, MI - Monday, March 8, 2004 11:05 AM CST Hi Andrew, Glad to hear you went up to the mountains. You and Christine looked like you were having so much fun together. When you start feeling better, you have to make a trip out here; we get snow in our backyard! The boys have been busy; Zachy is getting big and starting to talk, Ty has been interviewing for Kindergarten and Travis has started baseball. But most importantly, our prayers for your health continue. Love and miss you, Aunite Kelly & Family <kdorsey@regisjesuit.com> Aurora, CO - Monday, March 8, 2004 10:41 AM CST Hi Andrew, I am so happy to see the pictures of you and Christine in the snow yesterday. I was thinking about you yesterday and then find out you weren't in the heat of Ladera Ranch but enjoying the local snow with your family. I wrote your friend Spencer a note also. Yesterday while you were at the snow I was home after church and made a few little blankets. My granddaughter (who is 5) spent the night. Her mom and dad were at the LA Marathon. We were making her and her sister (who is 1) a blanket. We decided to make one for you, Christine, and your friend Spencer. We made your's and Spencers that are the same. When you hold yours you can think of Spencer. They both have basketballs. Christine's has pink dalmations and heart's. I was going to drop off at CHOC if you are there this week (I will call) if not I will get them to your home. (Via Heather, Emily's mom)God Bless your family. You are always in my thoughts and prayers. When I get home from a business trip and get on my computer, I can't wait to ck on you. I hope you are feeling better this morning. Thought's of you and your sister in the snow will make me smile all this week. Lisa Marcus <lmbaja@aol.com> San Clemente, CA - Monday, March 8, 2004 10:09 AM CST Wow Andrew how lucky are you to get to go to the Snow! I just wish you had felt better. Now you can look forward to the next time you go and are NOT Sick. Hey did you see Frosty? Well not to change the subject but Happy Birthday to me Happy Birthday to me. That's right Monday is MY Birthday. My birthday wish and (prayer) is that you feel better. No more getting sick and to have your counts up so you feel stronger. I Love You and Will think and pray real hard for you.

I did give you a big hug and lots of kisses. Have fun in the snow up in the mountains today, and I love your new mittens and snow boots!!! Take pictures! My prayers are for good blood counts this week so you can get started on your radiation....no more delays! I'm also praying for strength and peace for your mommy and daddy, and His divine guidance for your doctors. I love you, Andrew "J" (formerly grandma J) <jannield@comcast.net> Costa Mesa, CA - Sunday, March 7, 2004 9:51 AM CST Kim, praying for good counts for Andrew on Monday, so you can get the radiation started. Like you mentioned, it's got to be hard to get yourself psyched up for it, only to have it postponed. I'm going with the theory that the quicker he starts radiation, the quicker he finishes, and the farther on the road to a complete recovery he will be! Thanks again for doing such a wonderful job keeping the rest of us updated on Kerri and Spencer. I can tell your support has meant a great deal to her. Hope you all have a calm, relaxing day on Sunday (technically, which is today, since I'm up so late, ha!) and get good news on Monday.

Kim, your kids are gorgeous! that Christine is so cute and I can see Andrew's hair coming back-right? Amazing what you can spend on a bike huh? And my husband is REALLY into riding, so his bike has to be 3x the normal amount. How is the fundraising going? We're doing great-over 3,000 dollars already. Do you have your letter done? I would love to read it. I'll email ours to you so you can read it. Looking forward to meeting you in Tahoe!

I'm glad mommy let me drive it to take you and Christine to Burger King for hashbrowns and chicken pieces.........we never would have made it in time if I had to take your car seats out, then put them in my car. Besides, I don't have a DVD in my car, but when I do get a new car, I'm gonna get a chip machine in it. You sure do like to talk about food non-stop...and I'm glad you helped me make the Mac & Cheese. Christine likes it too, so make sure you share, ok? I love your new playground!!! You and Christine are going to have lots of fun playing there. I think we should eat lunch over there one day! And.....I told you I would get that ice cream man to stop at your house...even if I had to stand in the middle of the street. Now he knows to go really slow when he comes down your street. So, Andrew...when I come over tomorrow you have to decide on dinner...so far you said you want pizza with pineapple and olives on it, chili dogs, cheese fries (from Islands), corn dogs, or meat and cheese sandwiches with CHIPS. Rest up, Andrew...I want you to feel better, no more tummy aches. I will remember you, mommy, daddy, and Christine in my prayers. I love you, my brave Andrew Grandma J <jannield@comcast.net> Costa Mesa, CA - Friday, February 27, 2004 7:24 PM CST Hi Andrew, I hope you will be up and feeling better soon. I know the hospital is not a fun place to be, but the doctors and nurses do take such good care there. I spend alot of time there with your friend Gregory Conklin, who is trying to get better too. You have a beautiful photo on your website and you are such a cute little boy. I will pray for you to be up and home soon. Donna Esler (Gregory Conklin's stepmom) <desler@adelphia.net> Simi Valley, ca 93063 - Friday, February 27, 2004 11:15 AM CST Andrew and Kim, Big hugs from Iowa - hoping that your tummy troubles clear up fast and you can get out of that rotten hospital.

The Redd Family <theredds@cox.net> Ladera Ranch, - Thursday, February 26, 2004 12:25 AM CST Dear Andrew --- we sure hope you are feeling lots better by now, and the cultures all come back negative. Although it's certainly no fun to be that backed up, hopefully that's all it is (easy for me to say, since it's not my tummy that hurts, huh?) Kim, I probably would have had a coronary if I had been in a room with that teen and that mom. We haven't been inpatient yet since diagnosis, so I can't be 100% positive, but I'm almost sure all the CK kids here get a private room in the oncology ward. I think what your hospital is making you do is ridiculous! And I probably would have had to smack that woman.

We haven't been in a hospital unit since December of 2002, but we had to share rooms at San Diego Childrens, and L.A.Childrens. Both places were planning new addidtions then. We had our own rooms at Kaiser, a private room is a huge difference. Hope you are out soon and in your own home rooms. Love,Robyn Quito's Mom - Thursday, February 26, 2004 8:34 AM CST Good Morning Andrew, I hope this email finds you feeling better.

The doctors and nurses will make you feel better so you can go home. I wrote down everything you told me to bring you....especially the MACARONI AND CHEESE IN THE BLUE BOX. Yep, that's the kind I fixed for you at my house, so I will bring you a big box and you can help me make it for you. Maybe if you are feeling better Mommy will let me take you to the new KFC! I love the corn on the cob, and I love the BBQ boneless wings. You are constantly in my prayers, brave Andrew. May our Lord protect you on this journey.

I know this may sound strange but our child life person took pictures of the mask-making. They turned out to be a set of very special pictures. You may want to take your camera with you. We'll be praying for you as you take this big next step. Sending hugs your way.

That is way too cool!! He reminds me of you when you come running to hug me!! I'm so glad you are feeling a little bit better, and you have to tell me how you got to eat two bowls of rice in the family room. Gentle persuasion? I pray for an easy time for you tomorrow as you get fitted for you mask. Our Lord Jesus will be with you and hold you tight. I love you, Andrew Grandma J <jannield@comcast.net> Costa Mesa, CA - Sunday, February 22, 2004 7:04 AM CST Hi Andrew, Cool new look on your site! I never noticed what a stylish guy Cailou is before. He looks a lot like us! I can't hear the song yet, because my mom is a dork and she can't figure out how to download the plug-ins. I'll get dad on it tomorrow. You should see my mom trying to play my computer games! She can kind of do the Little People game, but if she has to use the arrow keys to jump or something - forget it! I don't know how the old folks get by these days. I guess they didn't have computers when they were three years old like us? I am very happy to hear that you are feeling better and have a little more energy. Hurry up with your DI and let's play! Looks like we might get some play time in Tahoe too. Sending a big hug and good wishes your way!

Sorry to hear the meds are making you feel crummy. I have been a bit of a grumpy-butt myself the past few days, so I know my mom is hoping I'm on the upswing at last. My mom says to tell your mom that she doesn't know WHAT is up with the song on my website. Sometimes we can heart it, sometimes we can't. My mom really needs to take a class or something to figure all this stuff out! Have a great weekend!

Hurry up and get your DI over with...the elephant seals are still waiting for your visit. They have lots of little pups now and they are very cute.

It is very beautiful. I have missed reading your guestbook and your Mommy's journal for a little while and see that you have been going through so much in such a little time. I have been a little sick lately and feeling a little dizzy so I now have to take a lot of pills. Most of the time one of those little pills gets stuck at the back of my throat and it takes lots of drinks before it goes down. Now I know the secret - use ROOT BEER not water! You know all the tricks! I still pray for you and your family every day and can't wait until your grandma Janice can bring you back into her work to see us. I love you. Maureen <loxandlo@aol.com> Santa Ana, CA USA - Thursday, February 19, 2004 10:37 AM CST Hey Andrew, Hey little buddy! How are you doing today?

I hope that everything goes well tomorrow at CHOC, just think if you are there on Thursday, we will get to play together...YEAH, but I hope taht you are at home resting. I'm very proud of you that you can swallow all of your pills now, what a big boy you are! Well Andrew have an awesome day and I'll see you soon!

I am praying for our Lord Jesus to hug you tight and protect you from all those yucky side effects that make you hurt so much. You are the bravest boy I know, Andrew! I take three pills, but I can't do them all at once. Hey, maybe next time I come over, you can show me how to take 4 pills at once. Save me some of that rootbeer, that should help, right? Lots of prayers, hugs and kisses for you, mommy, daddy, and Christine. I love you, Andrew Grandma Janice <jannield@comcast.net> Costa Mesa, CA - Wednesday, February 18, 2004 7:27 AM CST Dear Andrew, You seem to be a very courageous young man!

Go easy on her, you know this is pretty hard on the old folks. They aren't as tough as we are! You better come visit when you are done with your DI. Or sooner if you are feeling good.

I know that God is in the process of healing you right now and that he will be even more in the upcoming months. I really miss seeing you. I moved into the dorms at school and I put the picture of you in your fire truck in my room. I think of you all the time. I can't wait to see you soon. I hope that you feel better soon. You're in my thoughts and prayers constantly. Hey Andrew...cancer is tough, but you're tougher! Love In Christ, Dawn Green p.S. - I switched to Thursday nights at the hospital Dawn Green <Dawn.N.Green@biola.edu> Irvine, Ca 92612 - Tuesday, February 3, 2004 0:59 AM CST Hi Andrew, I just heard you are headed back to the joint for another lockup! I sure hope your fever comes down quickly so you can go home soon. Your new photos are great, - what a great smile you have. And hair too! (I'm a little jealous in that department!) Your sister is a cutie too. Maybe you can get me a date with her someday? Maybe the fever will buy you a day or two reprieve before you have to start your DI and all the yucky chemo. But just a day or two, not too long! I hope your mom's cold is getting better. Sending love and hugs your way, and prayers for a short hospital stay. Still hoping we can play soon! Love, Spencer Rocket Spencer Caserio www.spencerrocket.com <rocket@sideoff.com> Cambria, CA USA - Monday, February 2, 2004 11:32 PM CST Andrew, mommy just called and said you are on your way to CHOC with a fever....just want you to know that I am praying even harder that your fever goes down, and that you only have to stay there long enough to catch any new videos. God be with you, Andrew Grandma Janice <jannield@comcast.net> - Monday, February 2, 2004 10:27 PM CST Hi Andrew, I just wanted to stop by and tell you that I am praying for a very uneventful DI...

"BAM!" :) You are born to bake, aren't you?! Well, anytime you want to come over to our house and make us a cake, that's fine by us. Here lately, all my pathetic mom can manage to do is cookies (and she even cheats on that lately, and buys those ones you break apart from the fridge!) Geez, where are my precious childhood memories going to come from ... Mr. Pillsbury?!?! Glad to see you looking good, and staying busy!

That picture of Andrew and the mixing bowl is just the BEST!! The boy was born to smile :-) Equally amazing is how clean the counters are while you were baking. Once in awhile, you might get a picture of a clean counter like that on Julianna's site, but that's only because I used Adobe Photoshop to erase all the dirty dishes, garbage and loaves of bread that don't have anywhere to go. Keep smiling Andrew! Terry Josephson, Julianna Banana's dad <tjosephson@shaw.ca> Winnipeg, Canada - Sunday, February 1, 2004 0:29 AM CST Andrew, Glad to see you are doing well! I hope you had a fun time with your sister on her birthday! Oh, and your new pictures are just adorable.

You were such a big help opening her presents :0) I hope she has fun with her drum...there are fifteen different instruments so we should plan a jam session soon, don't you think?? I loved the rib dinner...but most of all the cake! You have to be the best cake maker in the world. I enjoyed seeing Grandpa Herb and Tia Jenny from Georgia...so sorry Grandma Andy was sick. Our Lord Jesus has blessed you with lots of energy and good spirits during their visit. I pray that you continue to fight this nasty leukemia, my big brave boy.

Send me a blanket, the wind chill up here is hitting minus FIFTY!! As a Californian, try and imagine what -50 windchill feels like. If you can't, then quickly hop in the shower, don't dry off or put any clothes back on, and walk into a frozen meat locker. Then turn on a furnace fan. That will get you to -30. I'm applying for a visa tomorrow and moving to California. Stay well buddy!

It is not a nice thing to choose to do to to your child at all. But, I think that you are basing your decision on the best knowledge for treating this disease successfully that is available right now. Andrew is such a bright boy - and he is still going to be even after radiation. I hope your day in the clinic went well today. And I really hope Andrew's tummy is feeling better.

More importantly, though, through this ALL list, I understand you to be a loving, kind, determined parent and I think the radiation will help you gain the best results that Andrew can possibly get -- total and complete healing is what we will all pray for. Please rest easy with your decision now. You researched, consulted professionals, and searched your heart. Andrew is blessed to have such wonderful parents!

Only something tells me yours is much better and more "real", as opposed to the plastic one Santa left me. That's ok though, it's loud and obnoxious and drives my parents crazy -- so I love it! Tell your mom that my mom is saying a special prayer tonight about her meeting tomorrow with your doctors, and I hope you're recovering nicely from your clinic visit today! take care!

But the hitar, now that's cool! Are you playing some good music? I have another friend who is three and he plays the drums. My mommy says she likes the hitar a lot better. I have some musical instruments too. Maybe we can make up a song together. I am glad yo will get a chemo break before your DI. All these drugs are a bummer!

Thank you very much for coming and looking at my web page. I love reading messages from new friends. I want to tell you about all of my snow. My mom says that you live in a warm place that doesn't have any snow. Well we sure do! I like it sometimes, we get to play in it and build snowmen, but mom makes us get dressed up so warm that I'm almost asleep by the time I'm ready. Jeepers, moms sure are picky! I read also that santa was good to you. I'm glad that you got lots of great toys. I like the hulk. Mommy won't let me see him on the TV, but I still like him. I will come and see you again soon. Bye.

I can't remember the last time I had popcorn and pizza so late at night watching a Spanish variety show, but it sure was fun. Thanks again for such a good time.

Nope, you're definitely not Asian, ha! :) Actually, I think you look a lot like me (gosh, I hope that doesn't offend you!) back when I still had lighter colored hair. (what was I thinking going to this Morticia-Adams color?) but I digress............. I love the new photos, and especially the one of Andrew in his Jeep. Those things are great! My kids love theirs, but our backyards slopes so sometimes they get stuck. And frustrated. And then you hear them yelling, "you push".... "No, YOU get out and push!!" Ha! kids, gotta love 'em. I wanted to tell you also how much I like the FAQ listing on Andrews' site. I think that is a fabulous idea (which of course means I'll probably have to steal it for Kendrie's site as well!) I hope you believe that imitation is the highest form of flattery!! Enjoy your New Years!

I pray daily for Andrew but also as important, I pray for you and Doug so you will have the strength, guidance, wisdom and comfort of our dear Lord to get you through each day. I cannot imagine having to go through anything like this with one of my 4 children...my heart goes out to you both! I would like to leave you with some scripture that, hopefully, will bring you some comfort... "And we know that all good things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are called according to His purpose". Romans 8:28 "The Lord loves the just and will not forsake his faithful ones. They will be protected forever". Psalm 37:28 "For you who revere my name, the sun of righteousness will rise with healing in its wings", says the Lord. Malachi 4:2 "Have faith in the Lord your God and you will be upheld". 2 Chronicles 20:20 "Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus." Philippians 4:6-7 Jesus said, "If you believe, you will receive whatever you ask for in prayer." Matthew 21:22 "How gracious God will be when you cry for help! As soon as he hears, he will answer you. Isaiah 30:19 I hope that you have a blessed Christmas and a New Year filled with God's answers to your prayers.

Valerie Farrell Rancho Santa Margarita, CA USa - Monday, October 13, 2003 11:26 AM CDT Hi Andrew! I had such a great time with you yesterday. Who would have thought that we'd get to go to IHOP and Target!! It was just like "old times" ('cept we let Mommy and Christine come with us). We fit so much into our day out since it will probably be some time before we get to do it again. All my friends at work were so happy to see you. Some you knew from previous visits, and some knew YOU from seeing your picture on your CHOC Walk flyer that Yolanda and Art put everywhere! You woke up Maureen from her lunch-time nap (she has a sore neck like mum), but she was sooo happy, she missed you so much, and of course had a bunch of "monies" for you. Leah enjoyed carrying you all over the place to see your old friends Joe and Troy, and new friends Lydia, Jenny. I think your favorite things where the chip machine and pushing all the buttons on the elevator! I'm praying for an easy time for you on Tuesday. You are so brave and mature for your age. Our Lord Jesus will carry you through this tough time coming up. May he shower your Mommy and Daddy with continuous strength and stamina through His grace as they continue down this path of recovery for you. Love you sweetheart, and your Mommy, Daddy, and sister Christine. Love, Mum grandma Janice - Saturday, October 11, 2003 11:55 AM CDT Hi Andrew, I hope you are feeling ok this evening.

I know you couldn't be there yourself but maybe next year you will be strong enough to do it. Besides stopping in to say hi to you, I really like seeing all the silly quilt animals on your pages. I am thinking of you and praying for you and your family every day. Love to you all. Maureen Gunton <loxandlo@aol.com> Santa Ana, CA USA - Monday, October 6, 2003 11:02 AM CDT Dear Andrew & family, Hope this finds you all still in good spirits and that the CHOC walk went well. I received an email from someone today and thought I would share with you. I hope you enjoy it. Our mission is to be the channel, not the source, through which we pray Gods blessings may flow to others. Our ministry is not to provide counseling, advice, or doctrinal interpretation. For this we count on local spiritual leaders who may know and deal with your needs more personally. It is our prayer that God may truly bless your day through the inspiration we seek to channel your way. I for one hope that our prayers are making a difference in your lives. I also see you as inspirations for me. Thanks! I hope you have a good week Andrew, I will be passing by CHOC on my way to an appointment on Thurs and I will think of you as I do when I pass by Ladera Ranch. May God Bless you with continued renewing health and may He take all the pain for you. He is an Awesome God who died for our sins. No job is too big for Him. Lisa Marcus <lmbaja@aol.com> San Clemente, CA - Sunday, October 5, 2003 5:46 PM CDT Hi Andrew, You are just adorable. I have a little boy named Daniel that has ALL too. It took him a while to learn how to take all of the pills, but now he is an old pro. It sounds like you are doing a great job learning how to swallow them. I'll be saying a prayer for you tonight and check back on you soon. Linda Deitz (ALL-kids) <www.caringbridge.org/mn/dannydeitz> Andover, MN - Saturday, October 4, 2003 2:02 AM CDT Hi Andrew, Just wanted to say Hi and I will be thinking about your mom and sister in the CHOC Walk this weekend. I was hoping to go but won't be able to. I will send a donation in your name though.. I think about you when ever I pass Ladera Ranch. Hope you are still feeling ok and I will pray for you to continue to get better. Lisa Marcus San Clemete, CA - Friday, October 3, 2003 9:10 PM CDT Hi my name is Jenna, and I came accross Andrew's page. He is sure a tough and brave little guy. He is also a trooper, and an inspiration. He is in my prayers. I think I found his page, through Smile Quilts, Quilts of Love, or another page, just incase you wondering how I found it. I was born with a rare life threatening chronic bone condition, and I know what it is like to keep fighting.

I especially thought of you this morning on my way to work. I was feeling a little sick and was thinking of going back home, then I thought of you and how strong you are to be able to take all your medication and continue with the day, even when you are in pain and don't feel well. I thought to myself; if Andrew could do it, so can I. God Bless You and your family, my prayers go out to all of you. Lydia Garcia <Lydia.Garcia@pfrd.ocgov.com> Lake Forest, CA USA - Thursday, October 2, 2003 9:53 AM CDT Dear Andrew and Family, I just wanted you to know that there are people in Missouri praying for you - you are an amazing little boy, and I am sure that God has big plans for your life. My son, Scott, won the battle of cancer at the age of 4 - he is 10 now, and doing great. He does remember a few things about his whole experience, but not in a negative way, and he has no memory of many of the day-to-day issues that he faced. His biggest memory is that Jesus helped him to get well - he still thanks Him daily in his prayers. God is using you and your family as a tremendous witness to others - patients/families will see that there is something different in the way that you are handling this, and they will want to know what it is. We will continue to keep you in our prayers - hang in there little guy! Therese Blakley <tblakl@yahoo.com> Platte City, MO USA - Tuesday, September 30, 2003 6:34 AM CDT Hi Andrew, We wanted to tell you that we have watched the Peanuts "Janice" video 4 times since your mommy let us borrow it.
