Welcome to Chandler Booth's Web Page. It has been provided to keep people updated about our child, Chandler. Chandler was diagnosed with stage IV neuroblastoma on July 17, 2003. He was only 47 days past his first birthday! He has endured 5 rounds of very substantial chemo, a 6 hour tumor-removal surgery, stem cell harvest,two autologous stem cell transplants and 18 days of radiation. We are now off therapy, just doing scans every 3 months to look for improvement. He has a 12 year old sister, whom he adores. And a mom and daddy who love him desperately. He also has many,many friends who are praying for him.

Hello Prayer Partners,
I know my updates are much too infrequent. I have had more than one person tell me...."Hey you really need to update!"

Finally, this event made me sit down and upload a couple of new pictures.

On Tuesday morning the principal of our school announced that Chandler Booth's work had been selected to be placed on the Principal's Board of Excellence.

Woooo-Hooo! Chandler's story was about why he liked Sunset School. (He says "bekos it soooo fun"). After the announcements, Chandler went up to the principal's office to receive a special award (see the blue plastic pendant he's holding?) Chandler's first response to his teacher about getting recognized was, "My sister doesn't have one of these!!"

He was so proud of himself and we are too!

When I think back to all that treatment....all those consent forms we signed....all those side effects....
I am humbled. I am humbled and so very grateful that Chandler is just able to be in kindergarten, much less have his work selected for display for a week or so.

That little plastic pendant may not have cost much....but to us it is PRICELESS!

In His hands,
Kim
