Hi Fritsch Family ~

Just stoppin' by to say hello. Good to hear that you got a chance to get away for a little bit. Have a glorious holiday season!
Hope that Parker's skin clears up with the new med. (amazing what they found seems to work on different cancer related symptoms and effects).

Dearest Richard, Melissa, Parker and Connor: I was just remembering that first Thanksgiving after Parker's diagnosis, when we flew out from Virginia and Parker went in the hospital the next day. We got just a tiny glimpse of what you and Parker and all his hospital friends live with day by day. Everytime I read about another of these precious children going home to be with the Lord, I thank God for letting us have Parker on this earth to make us laugh and cry and experience life. Melissa - I hope you are working on that book, because you have become an exceptional writer.

We love you all and pray that you will enjoy a blessed and Happy Thanksgiving. Love, Aunt Terri

Thank you Melissa and Parker for those encouraging words. I read that part of your post to karagin. Thank you for keeping karagin in your thoughts and prayers. Parker it was terrific to see you here at the hospital yesterday. Seeing your smiling face and knowing you triumphed over leukemia and made it so easily through transplant was very reasuring for Karagin and her Mom and Dad. Thanks for taking the time to come share your joy with us.

Hey Parker:
Its Karagin's dad here. Thank you so much for coming out and talking to Karagin. I saw the picture of your car. I want to drive it!! Do you want to work out a trade? How about I take you for a ride on my dirt bike or I let you ride Sammy's quad?? Lets try not to let Sammy know, because then he will want to drive your car, and I will be left out.
Oh and if you pick the dirt bike, you may not want to let your mom and dad know :-)
Thanks again

My dear Parker,
I'm so glad you and Conner both enjoyed your surprises! I kept waiting for you to call me and ask when I was going to ship the Jeff Gordon car and all the while we were waiting for your Jimmie car to arrive so we could ship them both! Although I'd love to take credit for this idea, it was all Ms. Trish's doing. She worked with the folks in her office to obtain the other car and make sure both of our Fristch boys were happy! Have fun racing around the neighborhood!
Love,

I really would like to see you this weekend if possible. I miss just sitting around and being able to talk. I think that it would be a good thing for all of us moms to be able to relax for a change and be able to unwind. Please call me and let me know for sure if you can or can't make it and if you need me to beg your mom for you.

Dear Parker (and Mom and Dad)

Happy 8th Birthday. Looks like you are having a lot of fun this summer.

When we first endeavored on the unknown journey we knew that terrible things would happen. It's just that until they actually do, you don't know how you will react. The passing of some great kids is the hardest thing to swallow, especially after getting to know some terrific families. Their pain is certainly our pain.

Please remember all the great things that you are doing for the fight against cancer. It makes us want to follow your footsteps.

All our best.

Lord, look upon us with the eyes of Your mercy, may Your healing hand rest upon us, may Your life-giving powers flow into every cell of our bodies and into the depths of our souls, cleansing, purifying, restoring us to wholeness and strength for service in Your Kingdom. O God, who is the only source of health and healing, the spirit of calm and central peace of this universe, grant unto us such a consciousness of Your indwelling and surrounding presence, that we may be able to receive from You health and strength and peace, through Jesus Christ our Lord.

Hi Fritsch family ~
Your camping trip sounds like it was so nice and so much fun! Lovely descriptions --I could almost taste those smores.
Oh that pesky GVH! Sure can ruin a good time. WE have had a few of those flare ups --have you tried Benedryl and a stress dose of Prednisone?

I'm so sorry to hear about your friends. This cancer/tranplant world is a very difficult one to be a part of. I will keep them in my prayers.

Hi Parker,

Do you know that you are a Super Hero?! You really are! So are your parents. We've been along on your journey, watching from afar and wishing there was more we could do to help, but you know what really happened? You and your family taught me a lot. You taught me how important life is . . . to cherish every day . . . to appreciate friends, family, and everyone who touches your life . . . to be happy. Thank you. I want to grow up to be just like you. :-)

Love,
Gayle, Mike, Alex, Josey, and Max

Fritsches,

We are so glad to have met you during this journey and we are so happy that Parker has passed this 5 year milestone!! It just gives us a warm feeling inside to know that he has made it. This has been such a tough battle for you, but you have handled it with strength and a very positive attitude. Way to go!!

WOW what a entry. I remember so many of the kids you listed not only through the hospital, but also caringbridge. To see so many children that didn't make it just broke my heart. I remember a long time ago you said that you had been to more childrens funerals than adults. I will never forget that. I got my newsletter for Light the Night today. Are you going to have a team this year? I sure hope so. Seeing all of these babies that didn't win just remindes me of the work to be done. Praise God for Parker. I am sooo proud of him. He is a true hero, as well as your whole family. God Bless!

Your story, is of course all too familiar and as I read it, my heart ached a little as I know exactly how you felt going through each step.

Blessed Father's Day
For Fatherly Guidance

Lord God, author of all wisdom,
Teach me how to do my work as a father according to your will.
Enlighten my mind that I may understand what to tell my children when it is necessary to give them direction or advice.
Give me good judgment to understand true spiritual values and to guide my family in your ways.
The world makes little of your wisdom and is not instructed in your ways, and close contact with the world makes it easy to become dulled to the things of solid spiritual worth.
Be my guide at all times, that I may be a true father and husband, sensitive always to the divine wisdom that only you can impart.
God, by the light of the Holy Spirit you instruct the hearts of your faithful.
Grant that I may be truly wise and ever enjoy his consolation, through Christ our Lord. Amen.
Praying for you,

“Love...It bears all things, believes all things,
hopes all things, endures all things.”
(1 Corinthians 13:7)

Hope you have a blessed Mother's Day!


A Mother's love is something
that no on can explain,
It is made of deep devotion
and of sacrifice and pain,
It is endless and unselfish
and enduring come what may
For nothing can destroy it
or take that love away . . .
It is patient and forgiving
when all others are forsaking,
And it never fails or falters
even though the heart is breaking . . .
It believes beyond believing
when the world around condemns,
And it glows with all the beauty
of the rarest, brightest gems . . .
It is far beyond defining,
it defies all explanation,
And it still remains a secret
like the mysteries of creation . . .
A many splendoured miracle
man cannot understand
And another wondrous evidence
of God's tender guiding hand.

How exciting to be apart of such wonderful things. We always wonder what good will ever come out of our children having cancer.....just by reading your updates I can definitely see how God is using your family. How cool and very special for the boys to sit in Jeff Gordon and Jimmie Johnsons race cars. Chase would do flips to sit it their cars. Also I think it is so wonderful that you were able to spend time with the friends you made. You are a very lucky and blessed family. I hope to see you all around soon, maybe at the hockey game this week!!
Take care,

Hey Parker,
I am so glad that you made it home just in time for the hockey game, and that you had a safe trip to and from North Carolina. I enjoyed hanging out with you at the game and thanks for showing me around the Savemart Center. You and Connor really know your way around that place. Sorry the Falcons lost but your jerseys are sooo cool. I had a fun time on the ice with you!!!

Thank you for a wonderful Easter afternoon. I sure hope you are feeling better though....I hope you learned an important and hard lesson I had to learn...take your LACTAID BEFORE you eat chocolate and not after. Although the chocolate tastes good at the time, pay back is the worst. I had a wonderful time playing with you and Connor and Grandma and Grandpa's house.

Thanks in advance for the hat from DUKE!! I am really excited to see what it looks like.

You have come such a long way in the last two years. It has been and honor and a blessing to watch you grow up! It has been a long tough road, but you have jumped over hurdle after hurdle and you just dont give up. No matter what comes your way, you endure it and hope for the best. God has blessed you and YOU are proof of all of our LONG HARD PRAYERS for healing! God is so awesome and I feel very blessed that God has put our lives together. I love you all so much and I look forward to many wonderful days ahead!!!! Keep the FAITH always...God will provide everything we need

Just thinking about you and praying for a great visit with Dr. K. Guess what!? It is 24 degrees here right now. Uncle Michael is very excited to come to Fresno! Cousin Missy left for Florida this morning for a band competition. She gets to spend five days at Walt Disney World. She was very happy to be leaving this morning when the wind was blowing 50 mile per hour and it was snowing sideways!

Have a wonderful trip and know that you are always on our hearts and minds. (p.s. I have your family picture from Kid's Day as my background on my computer). We love you lots! Aunt Terri

Parker!

We are glad to hear that you are doing so well!
You and C.J. did a great job selling those newspapers
once again this year.

Now that the weather is finally warming up, we are enjoying wearing those beautiful cycling jerseys you designed and not having to cover them up with jackets and vests to stay warm.

Good luck with your visit to Duke.

I probably will not see you before you leave, so be careful and remember that I love you! we will have to catch up on our hockey game when you and Connor get back from North Carolina. Maybe we can find some ice in Tahoe and I will kick your booty at hockey!! LOL! I love you Parker. You are such a trooper and an extraordinary little boy.

Jelly beans & Jesus

Have you heard the story of the jelly beans?

Little jelly beans
Tell a story true.
A tale of our Father's love
That's just for me and you.

GREEN is for the new spring grass.
YELLOW is for the sun above.
BROWN is for the soft earth where
People sat hearing of HIS love.

PURPLE'S for the robe he wore
RED is for that precious wine.
BLACK is for the sins He washed
From your soul and mine.

BLUE'S for the sadness of
HIS friends and family,
and is for the glory of the Day
HE rose for you and me.

Now that you've heard the story
You know what each color means.
The story of our Father's love
As told by jelly beans.
So when you see jelly beans on this Easter season,
stop and remember,
Jesus is the reason!


"For God so loved the world, He gave His One and Only Son that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life."

John 3:16

May love and laughter light your days,

May peace and plenty bless your world

May all life's passing seasons
bring the best to you and yours!


An Old Irish Blessing

May the road rise up to meet you.
May the wind always be at your back.
May the sun shine warm upon your face,
and rains fall soft upon your fields.
And until we meet again,
May God hold you in the palm of His hand.

Hello Parker!
I think I have heard about you for years (you are quite famous, you know!). I saw your picture and website address on a board in the oncology clinic at Children's Hospital. I just thought I'd say hi. I haven't met very many parents of cancer kids around here. I guess I need to be more outgoing. :-)
It sounds like you had fun snow boarding. My oldest, Brenna, is skiing with her school, but she is just beginning (has only gone 3 times). My son, Isaac, is 8 and has cancer. He has a brain tumor w/spinal cord involvment. I hope your Mom is feeling beter. Hope you and your family have a great weekend!

I'm sorry to hear you missed the ski trip and had to have surgery. I'll never forget the time my Dad had kidney stones and how much pain he was in, even though he's always been such a tough guy.

Good news! We're scheduled to be at Duke the same time as you guys!!!! I'll be in touch about the details....

A giraffe looks in my window
At the same time everyday,
He just appears with silly ears,
When I turn on the light to play.

I tell him the things I do at two
While he munches and crunches the leaves,
That are so very tasty too,
From the tippy tops of the trees.

One night he didn’t look so good,
His eyes were filled with pain.
I asked him, "What is the problem, the food?"
He said, "I must explain!"

"My knees are hurting pretty bad
And my long neck is so sore.
I really do like our talks,
But I can't take much more!
If you do a favor for me,
I know how my pain will be free.

CAN YOU MOVE UP TO THE SECOND FLOOR!!!

Melissa ...so happy to read Parker is doing so well post surgery. That painting is fabulous..of course!
We had a very similar experince just recently with our five year old (brother to Mark) who had cancer. He had back-to-back double ear infections..just never seem to get over that along with coughing. His Doctor also order CBC to be *safe*...and we waited anxiously. We know all too well those ugly thoughts that rear their heads...but we stayed focused on the positive..and all ended well. He didn't even have an elevated white count with the infection ?? So a great sigh of relief.....we expect nothing less for Conner :) He shall be in our prayers for a speedy recovery.

Hey Parker,

What's this I hear about you giving your parents a nervous jolt by having a fever and some cottage cheese like stuff in your blood! Isn't it really a result of eating all of that candy you confiscated here in Charlotte? You know, if you ate fruits and vegetables that kind of stuff wouldn't show up and make your parents nervous!!!!:)

Seriously Parker, I am thrilled to hear that you are doing great and Dr. K. thinks that once your port is taken out things will be back to normal!

Have a great day and soon you will be able to watch Jimmie race in Daytona.

All the best,
Pam

I know what you mean about the coughing. My son didn't have cancer but while I was on 5200 I met many families who's children did and heard all their stories and learned what to fear. The first week I was home, my 5 year old came up to me and said "mommy I have lumps on my neck. See?" I almost got sick to my stomach!! I was sooo scared I could hardly breath. I thougth "I got one child through a bone marrow transplant and now I am going to have to go through another" It turned out not to be anything to worry about but 5200 has a way of getting under your skin and staying there.
I hope his cough will clear up soon so he can feel better in time for Christmas. Andrew too has had a bad cough since Thanksgiving and it is keeping us from getting his ear tubes replaced. Poor thing in nearly deaf. Love, Anne

Hi
As a Dental Hygienist, I've never seen that complication - its usually from heredity. I pray that he doesn't have any missing teeth but a "pan" xray will tell the whole story within 5 minutes!

Kids get permanent teeth pulled for braces all the time - so if he's missing a few non-key teeth (premolars or bicuspids) - perhaps it'll be to your advantage? They certainly can close the spaces with braces if its these teeth.

Hope the GvHD goes away soon!

The second time you both were in Charlotte, I was in Raleigh watching a State football game! Wow, could we have missed each other any more? I will be here (working at duke) until at least January and hopefully a few months beyond that. But of course, I can always see you while in Charlotte since you have to see your racing buddies there. I guess Brooke beat me out this time and got to see you twice! Hopefully next time we will get together. If you're in the area on March 17th, come to the wedding :) I mean it! Love and hugs!!!!

So glad to hear you and Dad had a great trip to Duke for
your 18 month check up. Keep your chin up and keep putting
on those creams to keep the rash in check. You will do fine.

I am so glad your mother completed her century ride. What

Thanks for your nice message out to us as we get ready to head to Duke, and thanks for asking all your fans and friends to send prayers and good thoughts! How we appreciate that!

Parker, we really hope we get to meet you pretty soon. Maybe when we get back from NC!

Good luck with everything - meds, rashes, moms and children at school (good grief!!!! - you can only hope this kid seriously misinterpreted a conversation at home!!) - just hang tough and keep being amazing. Meliss, you are such a positive and energetic person. That's awesome.

We check in on you all often and send all our love. We'll give Georgia at Alexan a high five for you, okay, Parker? I think you are one of her most favorite kids ever!

Okay - must keep packing!

xo,

Anne, Charles & Noah

I had a Great time last night at the Hendrick event with you. You are one awesome dude. I think Ms. Courtney did a great job putting us at the table together, you made the evening fun. I hope you had fun at the Hendrick shop today, I was jealous thinking of you as I was driving back home.

My sister Nancy told me about getting to meet Parker at the Jeff Gordon Fundraiser. Samanatha is 5 yrs post translant in 1 month (same cancer, same transplant type). The pictures with Jeff Gordon and the kids are great. My nephew especially liked meeting the Carolina panthers. The Hendrick Organization is so awesome and Courtney really loves these kids. We are so blessed to have them being such a great part of helping with these little miracles. Kids Rule (and so does Hendrick) !

I can't believe that I missed your "not" visit. I was off yesterday and was looking for parker sometime this week. I saw all the appointments for tuesday and didn't see his name so I thought maybe it was next week! Sad, because yesterday was my only day off this week! UGH! Kitty is off until next week too, so you guys were just plain out of luck. I'm sure you're wondering how Kitty and I are back at Duke, but its a long story. I am over in the clinic and she is on 5200. Anyways, glad to hear that things are going well and hopefully you guys can fit me in next time you are here!

Hey Parker!

Glasses are cool! I wear them every time I work at the computer or read books. My sister has had glasses since she was eight and now she wears contacts. Knowing you, you will look even more handsome :) Be safe and have fun with Jeff Gordon (Riley's favorite driver). She will be so jealous when I tell her you actually get to meet him. Take good care of Daddy. We'll see you soon.

Lots of love,

I think it's next week that you're coming for a visit! I'm assuming you'll be in clinic on Tuesday, and I'm working that day, so please come over to 5200 to say hello. It's my last week, so I may need a little cheering up. You look AWESOME!

We used Eucerin dry skin therapy spray http://www.findoutabouteczema.com/eczema/healthpersonalcare/p7.html
on Andrew's scalp for gvhd but Parker's might be to severe right now. I like it because it is in a spray, so I can put it right where I need it to go and it is pretty watery so it is not all thick and gooy in their hair. It still isn't exactly the kind of stuff you what to got to school with in your hair but it is better than lotions. Maybe you could try it along with what has been prescribed. We used to be able to buy it at Wal-mart but I think the last two bottles Jeff ordered from the computer. You could check around. Good luck.

Go Parker!! That tackling rule is a tough one...I even have to enforce it in my class! It's tough for me not to take the kids out!! (Just kidding of course!) Kindergarten is the best, that's why I am going to be there for 17 more years!

Tell your mom that if she wants to avoid numb toes when riding she has to do 2 things....1. Remember to wiggle her toes once in a while. 2. Loosen the velcro straps (or ties) on the shoes...when you put them on your feet are sleeping....then after peddling awhile your feet get pumped up and then the shoes are too tight. Hope those 2 tips help :)

Rooting for you from across the bay,

Hi Parker,
I found your page through Danny's page! I have to say I was quite surprised to read that you had ALL PH+. My son, Elijah was diagnosed with ALL PH+ in May of 2002. He had a bone marrow transplant in October of 2002 and he is doing very well and just turned 13! He was 8 years old when he first got sick.
I will keep you in my prayers! I LOVE your artwork!

Hi,Parker.

I think I should start calling you Ronaldo after the famous Brazilian soccer star for your moves you showed on the practice field this week. It was a lot of fun to watch you dribble, pass, shoot, and, of course, score goals. I'm very much impressed with how well you are playing. I'm even more impressed with your effort and positive attitude. I hope you have a really fun season.

See you on the field again soon. Until then, God bless.

Hi Parker,

I really enjoyed your painting. I couldn't find it this time, but my wife Anne mentioned that you are now a famous artist, featured on Oprah! Wow. That's cool. I am a part-time painter too, and what I like about your art is that it was thematically diverse, in that you had organizational variation (circles, squares, triangles, if I remember correctly) in an organized pattern. This is how biology works! Very cool. I'm a scientist, and I also paint things that I imagine from cell biology and protein biochemistry. It's a lot of fun, and better than playing with test tubes and scientific instruments all day!

Good for you!

It's wonderful to hear that Parker is done with IVIG!!!!! We're praying the steroids follow soon.

We look forward to reading how much Parker's painting raised for the Evanosky Foundation....what a great contribution.

Glad to hear that you'll be playing soccer. Let's get together and practice shooting the ball into the net. I'm sure you'll get lots of goals!

Your friend,

Hey there, Parker!

It was great to see you last night at the soccer workout! You were awesome out there, big guy! You did a super job dribbling and passing the ball! I hope you had fun.

I really liked your nice cleats. They sure did help you run really fast. Of course, your cool shades looked very stylish and made quite the fashion statement. My boys want to wear their sunglasses to the next workout so they can be just like you.

I look forward to seeing you at the field again soon.

Hello Everyone,

Melissa -- You go, Girl! I hope you enjoy cycling . . . especially the stress-relief it can provide. All the wonderful news about Parker's progress has been so uplifting. It is so terrific to hear of all the fun your family is finally enjoying -- camping, fishing, all of it! You are all inspirations! Tell Parker not to give up on fishing. He'll get one eventually. :-)

Love,

Parker, Connor, Melissa and Richard!
4 years ago today, our hearts were very heavy when the news came to us that Parker had leukemia! We could not believe what was about to happen. No one ever could have expected or saw it coming. Parker was just a baby. Looking back over the last four years, through pain, sorrow, tears, and smiles, Parker you have come such a long way. The many trips and stays to Children's Hospital, the tests, research, the what if's and what happens next, where do we go from here? It was so scary not knowing what was going to happen. But, you have made it through a very tough journey and have had tremendous FAITH through out the last four years. God knew exactly what he was doing on July 9th 2002! He had it all planned out and he knew that you were going to pack up your lives and move to North Carolina, he even knew the exact time and place for your transplant. GOD IS AMAZING! He put people in your lives that shared the same experiences with you and he even put people in your lives that were just beginning their journey and was using you as a witness to them all that having FAITH in God was the only way to bring you through this. The power of prayer is an amazing thing and we have truly seen God's hand work in some mighy ways over the last four years. God brought you through some very scary times, often just to test your faith and see if you were really going to follow hom and seek guidance from him or if you were going to stray away!!! Your family has been a light and an example in this world to so many people and I am so proud of how far Parker has come! Your relationship as a family has grown tremendously and you have poured your hearts and souls into finding a cure and raising support for the leukemia lymphoma society. Today, as I think back to those many nights Parker and I sat on the kitchen floor of your house, Parker swallowing meds and myself swallowing tic tacs which Parker thought were meds, brushing teeth, swishing, playing, reading, the mood swings, "the worst babysitter ever" speech when he got into trouble for hitting Connor, I am so thankful that I have been apart of your lives and I am reminded everyday how lucky I am to be breathing and living a healthy normal life. You amaze me Parker and I am so proud of you.

Connor Jack!! I know you may not understand all of this right now but someday when you get older you will and even though mommy and daddy leave you with grandma and grandpa a lot while Parker was getting treatment, you will be so thankful becasue you have a healthy Big Brother who loves you and who would do anything in the world for you. You have been a trooper as well. Mommy and Daddy love you very much and look forward to many healthy, happy days ahead to enjoy life with both you and Parker!!!! I miss you and hope to see you soon.

Now, you get to enjoy life and get back into school and be a kid again. I am so proud of you Parker. You are such a trooper and you have hit a major milestone in your life! I love you and look forward to seeing you very soon. Keep up the great work

Hello Parker and Family!

Tomorrow is going to be a huge milestone for you and your entire family. Four years ago you entered into a whole new world full of the unknown and today you are a shining example of a survivor. We are so proud of you and your families efforts to beat leukemia and raise awareness for the hospital, blood bank, and the Leukemia/Lymphoma Society. We are so excited to see you head back to school and for Connor to start preschool...what fun you boys will have! Celebrate life! We love and cherish you all!

Hello Fritsch Family!
I am so sorry that I have not siged your guestbook in a long time. I do read your website daily though to seeif there is anything new. I am currenltly on vacation right now. My parents flew into Memphis TN last Friday and we drove there to pick them up. Monday morning we left for Branson Missouri. Parker, you and Connor would love it here! There is so much to do and not enough time to do it in. We saw several shows including Shoji Tabochi who is a Japaneese Fiddler. Too much fun. This morning, (Thursday) we left for Tulsa Oklahoma to see my mom's Aunt! It is only about 3 hours from Branson. I miss you boys' a lot and I am looking forward to seeing you in a few weeks. My mom told me that she ran into yawl at the beach. How ironic was that? We are headng back into Little Rock tomorrow morning and then we will drive my parents back to Memphis on Sunday so they can catch their plane. It is only 2 hours from Little Rock so it is not that far. I am so glad to hear that you finally get to enjoy life now! You have come a long way and I am so proud of you. I love you and I will see you soon.

Melissa, Sounds like you are all having a fun summer. I hope Parker gets some relief from the GVHD soon. We're spending most of our time getting everything situated for Courtney to attend college in the Fall! She's really excited. She's going a year later than planned but so much more mature! She's off prednisone as of last week and so far so good. I understand how anxious you are for Parker to stop taking it. Tell the boys hello for us.

Hi,
I was given your website by Kim Sprague. My son Christian who just turned 13 on 5/6/06 was diagnosed with ALL-B cell leukemia 3 1/2 weeks ago and we found out on Thursday that he has the rare chromosomal abnormality (hypodeploid <1%) and will need a BMT. I have been researching online, medical friends, etc.. to decide where to go. This is all very scary but I am trying to get a game plan. I wanted to see what your research came up with. I know Parker was treated at Duke. Seattle's hospital keeps coming up for what Christian needs. Any thoughts on there? I really appreciate any feedback you are able to give me. I am thrilled with Parker's outcome.
God Bless, Sandy Barker

Hey, Parker, and family,
Grandpa and I are here at Tahoe in the 2nd week of our stay and really missing you guys but still enjoying every minute. We are so glad that you are doing so well and hope that your GvsH disease on your hands gets well soon. Keep up the good news and we'll be seeing you all soon here in Lake Tahoe for "The Most Beautiful Bicycle Ride" on June 4.

Parker's Pals will be out there on the road giving out PBJ's (peanut butter & jelly sandwiches) and rooting for
Richard and especially Fresno's "Team In Training".

Horray for you, Richard, for achieving your goal and more up to $4300 for the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society. You are amazing.

The Penney's are again doing some big improvements to their cabin and hosting us for the race. Grandpa can hardly wait to show you the new shed that he and
Mr. Penney are building. Painting and new carpeting are also being put in. It is going to be beautiful when they get through. Charlotte and I have been raking up pine needles everyday - it never ends. But it looks so much better raked.

We will be praying to our all mighty God for you and all of your little friends who are sick, especially little Parker B. He is a great fighter! His family needs our
prayers also for strength and courage.

God speed and love,
Grandma Ilene

Our prayers are with you as you are still dealing with some issues, but we're so happy that Parker is alive and beating leukemia, so we wanted to celebrate at the Walk with/for you.

Hi, I follow Parker and keep him in my prayers. Just wanted to let you know that my 9 year old niece Samantha (ALL /Ph chrom) recently had her 4 year studies done at Duke and she's amazing. My sister was late getting Samantha to Duke due to her own recent battle with cancer. Dr. Martin gave Samantha a clean bill of health. She still gets GvH flare-ups in the sun. She also is still lactose intolerant, but that's nothing a simple little pill helps if she wants ice cream ! 3 cheers for awesome cord blood donors ! Keeping you all in my prayers.

Hey parker dude! So glad to hear that you get to venture out now days!! Noah is always telling everyone that target is my favorite store, so you know that would be my first stop! And now Oprah-you are just too cool! (of course Noah is not too crazy about her-she competes with spongebob in the afternoon!) But with you on..I know he will watch and I'll get to watch my show for once!! You rock! We went bowling the other night and Noah remined me how you and he went for your b-day one year....we think about you and love you! Take care, love MIchelle (aka Noahs mom)

Hi Melissa,
Sorry to read that Parker is having to cope with these uncomfortable heart issues. We'll keep a prayer for those to resolve quickly and totally. Gracie doesn't have a port. We opted not to get one after they took her central lines out. I think she might be one of the very few kids who have not gotten a port post central lines at Duke. She did perfectly fine with it, she has got one great vein on her left hand (we give thanks for that vein all the time). With the EMLA cream she really wasn't too upset to be getting iv accessed. She would cry, but it was more of a fear response than a pain one. I think as long as the EMLA cream is really covering the whole area, it works well. We agonized over whether or not to do the port, and now I'm happy we opted not to. Dealing with the iv's has been fine. The one caveat I would add is that if Gracie had gotten extremely sick and needed a central line put in for antibiotics, having to place it would have slowed things down at a crucial moment. But so far, we've been ok. I think this far out, Parker would probably deal with iv access just fine, especially if he has one or two trusty veins. All our best to you all. Are you going to be at the walk? Warmly, Heather (Gracie's mom)

Hi Fritsch Family,
It was great seeing all of you over Easter weekend. The neighborhood was back to normal with all of you out planting your beautiful garden. Isn't it wonderful you can now go SHOPPING together! What an honor the Oprah Show wanted to feature Parker in “kids that do amazing things”; of course we have known all along how amazing your whole family is! Keep the good news coming.
God Bless,

Hey Guys!!

I thought Oprah was cool, but FRESNO GRIZZLIES!!!! That is WAY cooler (no offense Oprah, I love you too, I even TIVO all your shows). But the Fresno Grizzlies, well they are super cool. We'll miss Wild Thing, but knowing the next mascot is named Parker....it's ok now.

Hi Fritsch Family,

My name is Kristi Bernstein and I am a friend of Albert Chavira's in Dallas. I am also the Director of Team in Training for the North Texas region (and a 12-year APL survivor.) While in California at a cycling event, Albert told me about Parker and sent me his website. I just wanted to congratulate you and your family on his one-year post-transplant milestone! I look forward to following your family in the years to come. God bless,

Hip hop, hippety hop
My “Easter Bunny” went off to the shop,
He bought me an egg and lots of chocs
And packed them into a cardboard box.
Then he wrapped it with paper and shiny string
It really was such a pretty thing.
Disaster struck when I opened the door-
He slid across the parquet floor,
He went round the corner and past the stairs
And finished up in a pile of chairs.
Of the Easter goodies not a trace,
he’d thrown them into my fireplace!
So a warning before you go opening doors
Make sure your “Bunny” has non-slip paws!





Happy Easter

With lots of love,

Everyone at Post Pals

Glad to hear that you are all together and that Parker is doing well. We missed you at the Kid's Day luncheon this year. I saved you a CD with a picture of your family included. They thanked all of Parker's Pals and everyone was thinking of your family and wishing you well!
We'll keep stopping by to check on you.
Talk with you soon!

Jelly beans & Jesus

Have you heard the story of the jelly beans?

Little jelly beans
Tell a story true.
A tale of our Father's love
That's just for me and you.

GREEN is for the new spring grass.
YELLOW is for the sun above.
BROWN is for the soft earth where
People sat hearing of HIS love.

PURPLE'S for the robe he wore
RED is for that precious wine.
BLACK is for the sins He washed
From your soul and mine.

BLUE'S for the sadness of
HIS friends and family,
and is for the glory of the Day
HE rose for you and me.

Now that you've heard the story
You know what each color means.
The story of our Father's love
As told by jelly beans.
So when you see jelly beans on this Easter season,
stop and remember,
Jesus is the reason!





"For God so loved the world, He gave His One and Only Son that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life."

John 3:16

Wishing you and yours Easter Blessing's

THE JELLY BEAN PRAYER

Red is for the blood He gave.
Yellow is for His son so bright.
Black is for the sins we made.
Purple is for His hours of sorrow.
Green is for the grass He made.
Orange is for the moon at night.
White is for the grace He gave.
Pink is for our new tomorrow.

A bag full of jellybeans,
Colorful & sweet,
Is a prayer, Is a promise, Is a small treat.
Remember Jesus when you eat the jellybeans.


Praying for you,

Dear Parker-
I walked into my dentist office today and saw one of your original works hanging on his wall. He said he loved the painting and he so wanted to meet you! Last week I got one of your TNT prints for my son John to hang on his wall at school.. and I think I need one for myself because I am having a hard time parting with the one intended for John.
We are all so proud of you because you have worked really hard at getting well and your paintings are a reminder of what a shinning star you are. We are missing your dad at TNT because it is still raining and there is no one to tow us old women home from the hills! You show them your stuff back there, tell them how it's done, and then come home soon. Know you are consantly in our prayers and in our hearts as are all your friends and family. Your team loves you dearly!

I love you and miss you all so much! I will continue to stay up on status and want you to know how much I care about you and pray to our wonderful, loving God to hold you all in his hands, protect you in this time of need and ease pain that seems to be so constant.

Dear Parker,
Congratulations on your first anniversary post-transplant!
My son Paul Alexander and you have a lot in common. You both are incredibly brave and strong; you provide so much joy to your families with just your smiles; you continue to beat this ugly monster "leukemia"; and you inspire so many to give so much of themselves for others. You also both had the privilege to have known a very special little angel called Shelsie, whose Mom, Veronica, introduced us to your webpage. For the last year, my two Pauls and I have been hooked in your journey as we have seen parallels to ours. We shared your joys & challenges and cheer you on, praying for you and your buddies. Paul Alexander gets excited when he sees your pictures in race cars, helicopters and playing with his favorites also, trains. We hope that some time you and Paul Alexander will cross paths and exchange great stories of your childhood's odyssey.
Wishing you all the best and your family. Warmest regards to your Mom, Dad and Connor. We love the photo collage!
Take care,

Dear Parker and family.. We often think of you and say a prayer as you continue on in this journey. May GOD continue to bless you in the many ways he has. As you have said, this journey has taught you things and opened your eyes to many things that a lot of the rest of us could certainly benefit by. Keep your faith that GOD will allow the doctors to heal Parker completely and that HE will shine in all HIS glory at the outcome. Through Christ's power I accept upon faith that Parker will be healed.

What an awesome story. I started reading about Parker in 2004, but never knew the history before that. How awful to have to hear the news of your mother and your son being diagnosed with cancer on the same day - within minutes of the other! Unbelievable. I wish your family all the best in the future and I believe that this is going to be one journey with a very happy ending. Happy 1-year, Parker - I'll be checking up on you! :)

Parker I just love that picture of you. I need your mom to give me a copy!!! I can remember last year right before you left for transplant, you and Connor were visiting with us while your Mom packed you all up. You were chasing me with the gun that shot the balls and singing country music on the kareoke machine. With all that energy and spunk, I was confident in your recovery. And here you are today, and you are still cracking me up. I love having the opportunity to work with you on your schoolwork this year. You are very smart, and you know it too!!! Have a Happy one year post-transplant day. I thank God for your life saving cells. You take care and have fun at T-ball!!!!
Love Yah Lots, Theresa

Dear Little Man,

You are as bad as Jack. I think you two talk in the middle of the night when the moms and dads are sleeping and decide who gets to go to the hospital next. You hang in there little buddy. Sonya and I look forward to seeing you soon.

Hi Parker~
I just talked to your mom from the hospital and she told me you had to spend a few days at the hospital to figure out why you have a fever. I'm so sorry you're not feeling well. Sherilyn and I are both praying that the doctors will figure it out quick so you can get back home. We can't wait to see you in April for your 1 year check up. We are looking forward to spending a few days at the beach with you on the East Coast:) Get Better Soon!!! We love you!

You're so funny, Melissa! Kaitlyn and I are sitting here laughing at your "women's underware shop" comment...ha,ha. I'm glad you all are doing well. Too bad we can't be at Duke at the same time! We'll probably miss each other by just a week...waiting to hear back about our appointment time. Your Hospital Moms group is inspiring me! I met one other Duke Mom the other night for dinner, and we want to do it again soon, and include some others...so fun and so good to talk to other Moms that know what you're going through. Thanks for the idea! I let you know how this develops.
Take Care,

Please know that Parker and your family continue to be a part of my prayers and after last night I have gotten to add Parker B. to my list of children. What a journey your family has been through.

Oh! That must have happened just after I talked with you. Poor Connor... and right after getting over the stomach bug. Never a dull moment. I'm glad Parker is feeling better and keeping his meds down. Hope Connor's finger gets better soon and Parker continues to feel better.

The stomach bug has just swept threw our family as well. The whole night I was sick, I just kept praying that I would be well in time to take Andrew to the hospital, if he got it! Well so far,so good-he's the only one who hasn't gotten it. Well will keep our fingers crossed. I hope Parker will be over it so quickly that he will not have to go to the hospital or not stay very long at all. Love, Anne

Hi Melissa, Richard, Parker & Conner~
HAPPY FRIDAY! I've never heard of Jamba juice? Is it a west coast thing? Speaking of west coast, I think we've been having your weather...we've had months of above normal temps...60's almost every day (today it got up to 68...bizarre...but I'm liking it. Sherilyn's been outside hoola hooping, jumproping, riding her bike and even taking 2 mile walks with me. I'm sorry Parker has had some more skin/tummy issues and you have to stop the wean again. But it's only a tiny setback...he'll get off of the steroids before you know it.

Have a good weekend!

Laura & Sherilyn Adams <Lauraha65@nc.rr.com>
Raleigh, NC - Friday, January 20, 2006 8:46 PM CST

Hope it clears us real soon. Melissa, I really enjoyed our mom's night out and look forward to the next one also. Have a great days guys!!
Love and blessings to you always,

Hi Melissa ~
Stopped by Parker's CB site to see how this precious family was doing.
Im sorry to read that you hit a wall on the weaning of Parkers steroids Im sure it must be frustrating for you & Richard as parents who want so badly to make everything good for Parker, I will be praying more for this. Hope this will pass quickly, the rash clears and no more Tummy aches. Like you said your going to get it right! It will Happen.......
I want to Thank you for inviting me to the Mom's night out I had a wonderful time and I am enjoying getting to know this great group of Moms (Hospital Moms) You gals Rock! IM getting a chuckle outa being the granny of the group. And on the germ thing................ I am teased all the time by friends and family members. Danny thinks I go overbroad on the GERM thing! As always praying for this beautiful family and holding Parker close to my heart in every prayer!
Have A Great Day Today!

Hi Melissa, Todd and I cracked up about your staying well paragraph just now when we read it. I guess we do find things humerous that others wouldn't. We know exactly what you mean. Is it scary out there right now or what? We are total germ phobes. We have gotten to where we hear every cough around us no matter where we are, and yes, we also find ourselves holding our breth. We hate to shake hands with people because we can't stop thinking about what germs they have just shared with us. If you are a total wierdo, we are too. Just think, if everyone were like us, we wouldn't have so many germs out there to fear. Mom's night out was a blast. I can't wait til next time. Parker will be in our prayers.

The Brave Little Soul
By: John Alessi

Not too long ago in Heaven there was a little soul who took wonder in observing the world. He especially enjoyed the love he saw there and often expressed this joy with God. One day however, the little soul was sad, for on this day he saw suffering in the world. He approached God and sadly asked, "Why do bad things happen, why is there suffering in the world?".

God paused for a moment and replied, "Little soul, do not be sad, for the suffering you see, unlocks the love in peoples hearts". The little soul was confused. "What do you mean", he asked. God replied, "Have you not noticed the goodness and love that is the offspring of that suffering? Look at how people come together, drop their differences, and show their love and compassion for those who suffer. All their other motivations disappear and they become motivated by love alone.

The little soul began to understand and listened attentively as God continued, "The suffering soul unlocks the love in people's hearts much like the sun and rain unlock the flower within the seed. I created everyone with endless love in their heart, but unfortunately most people keep it locked up and hardly share it with anyone. They are afraid to let their love shine freely, because they are afraid of being hurt. But a suffering soul unlocks that love. I tell you this-it is the greatest miracle of all. Many souls have bravely chosen to go into the world and suffer-to unlock this love-to create this miracle-for the good of all humanity.

Just then the little soul got a wonderful idea and could hardly contain himself. With his wings fluttering, bouncing up and down, the little soul excitedly replied, "I am brave; let me go! I would like to go into this world and suffer so that I can unlock the goodness and love in people's hearts! I want to create that miracle!

God smiled and said, "You are a brave soul I know, and thus I will grant your request. But even though you are very brave you will not be able to do this alone. I have known since the beginning of time that you would ask for this and so I have carefully selected many souls to care for you on your journey. Those souls will help you create your miracle; however they will also share in your suffering. Two of these souls are most special and will care for you, help you and suffer along with you, far beyond the others. They have already chosen a name for you.

God and the brave little soul shared a smile, and then embraced. In parting, God said, "Do not forget little soul that I will be with you always. Although you have agreed to bear the pain, you will do so through my strength. And if the time should come when you feel that you have suffered enough, just say the word, think the thought, and you will be healed.

Thus at that moment the brave little soul was born into the world, and through his suffering and God's strength he unlocked the goodness and love in people's hearts. For so many people dropped their differences and came together to show their love. Priorities became properly aligned. People gave from their hearts. Those that were always too busy found time. Many began new spiritual journeys-some regained lost faith-many came back to God. Parents hugged their children tighter. Friends and family grew closer. Old friends got together and new friendships were made. Distant family reunited, and every family spent more time together. Everyone prayed. Peace and love reigned. Lives were changed forever. It was good. The world was a better place. The miracle had happened. God was pleased."

Hey Parker! Last weekend, me, my husband and son signed up to ride TNT in Tahoe. Then we got a call yesterday that my son is too young to ride! WoW! how did his sister ride last year??? So we quickly went on line to sign him up to ride- the ride entry age is 14 so he can officially ride but not for TNT. So we will begin training and will see you in Tahoe at the Parker's Pals reststop!

Good luck with your upcoming 1 year check up at Duke.

Hey there P.K. It ws so great talking with you on the phone this afternoon. I am so glad that you are enjoying the basketball hoop. I am super glad that you and Connor could use it, seeing how he is getting ready to start basketball soon. You sound like you are loving school, which I do not doubt. Keep up the great work and remember to always do your homework. I can't believe that you threw food at Connor...even though he started it, remember that you are 3 years older than him and you should be setting the example for him as his BIG BROTHER!!!! I love you so much and I miss you a lot. I am hoping to come out and see you for Kid's Day and spend some time with you. Have a great rest of the week and I will call you tomorrow.

Thanks for the Christmas card. The picture of the boys is so cute! It is displayed over our fireplace, along with other festive cards. We're so glad that Parker and Richard were able to get home from Duke, despite the weather. Our prayers are with you for comfort, after the loss of friends and a grandparent. Thomas also had a recent drop in his FK level, so we know how frustrating and uncertain that makes everyone feel. We'll include Parker in our prayers about that issue too! May you have a Christmas that outshines all previous ones.

Can't wait to meet Parker when he gets out of isolation! Albert was a blast to work with and I made a new friend to email with! God bless and have a very merry christmas to all!

Hello Family!!!!
It was so great to take a trip with you , Meliss to the coast and be able to spend some quality time with the boys bofre I leave. I really enjoyed myself and will cherish the memories forever. Thanks for a great evening at grandma and grandpa's house last night. It was great to get out of the house for awhile and spend even more time with all of you. I am so thankful that God placed us together 6 and half years ago. What a blessing it has been to watch Parker and Connor and become apart of your family. They are always GREAT no matter what. Every once in awhile they get angry but hey, it happens to all of us. I am so thankful that you decided to keep me on your staff...where would we be today...i am not sure. I am going to miss you soooooooooo much, I don't even want to think about it. I will miss the boys even more and can't imagine what it will be like...."sad day" LOL!!! Happy Holidays!!!

Hello Melissa, Parker, Richard and Conner
That was a wonderful entry. I know it is hard to sit back and see all those that don't make it or struggle so much along the way, but have faith that Parker will do good and count your blessings everyday. I am so happy at how well parker is doing and so glad to see you back at home doing well. Parker gave AJ so much energy and he really looked up to Parker. He wanted to do what he did. We were so happy to hear we were going to be neighbors. You were the talk of the neighborhood. Thank you for caring and being apart of our lives. You are all truely kind friends.
We are doing well missing AJ still but getting along OK. Don't give up!!!!! Some of these children have a destiny we can't change and AJ had his. Yes a sad one but he was meant to touch our lives for a short time and move on the bigger things. We love you guys.
Love
David, Angie, Robert, and "Angel AJ".

I have been following Parker for a while and praying for his full recovery. Today is a special day for me... today is the day that my 9-year old niece Samantha celebrates her 4 yr transplant anniversary (5201). Same cancer as Parker, same type of transplant (cord blood stem cell), same awesome nurse Andria and same awesome Dr. Martin. Wait 4 years and you too will be singing the same praises I sing today ! So for such an awesome day, I did my 2 hr and 9 min double donation of platelets to honor all of the Duke PBMTU kids. As I passed thru Durham this morning on my way back up the mountains, I thought Kids Rule ! Go Parker.
