Happy birthday Gwen!

I take it from one of the guestbook entries that you have had at least one more set of clear scans since the last journal update. I'm praying that you are continuing to do well and are having lots of fun with your new little brother.

It's so good to hear from you!!!!! We miss you but are glad that you are able to move closer to family.

We use Izzy's quilt all the time and I pulled out the small quilt that you made for Catie to use with her dolls as well. I have a feeling that Izzy is going to be a blanket girl, so we're sharing her sister's mini-quilt with her... I smile and think of you guys every time I see either one of them.

The ride across the country sounds beautiful!! We can't wait to see Utah pictures once you guys get more settled in. Stay in touch with us GA girls...

Gwen is the picture of health! Can there be a cuter picture of a 4 year old? I know you can never feel confident about her health, but oh my....she is a miracle. I will never forget our meeting--we were close to transplant and you were a few months away....another painful lifetime ago....and look at Gwen now. I hope she gets every wish and of course I hope and pray that you and Ben get THE ONE AND ONLY WISH!!!!

What incredibly good news on all accounts! I can't believe how well Gwen handles all of that medical treatment (mentally and physically). She is truly something special. You must have developed the patience of Job waiting for all of those medical appointments and tests. I can't imagine waiting that long with a child who hasn't eaten.

If you go visit Catie (maybe you can't due to C-Diff and/or RSV) please tell her we are so sorry she is feeling so crummy.
Praying for and expecting the best news ....update when you can! We'll be waiting to hear!
PS Hugs to Anna too!

I was wondering when we would get some new photos! I love them (and your card looks great!!). I am guessing the photo on the bottom right is the one on the way down the stairs. Anna looks like she is about to pop, and maybe squeeze the stuffing out of Gwen in the process. ';) Glad you all had a fun celebration. Safe travels and hope your time with family is fabulous!
Love, Julie
P.S. We have GOT to schedule a day w/D.D. sometime in January. Or maybe February . . .

Whoooo Hoooo! We are thrilled!!! It never gets old. This happy dance will continue until Gwen is safely a geriatric patient. By then, I will be wiggling a plastic hip, so it won't look as cool, but Jack will always have the moves! Congrats, dear friends! We love you so!

Always,
Camp Jack!

P.S. I was told by the orthopedist today, that kids with radiation should receive xrays every year. The CT scan doesn't really detect shift in bones, so there's another thing to think about later. Jack is now 1 year out from radiation, so he has an appt. in 3 weeks. Noone really tells us these things, so it's good to be proactive. Just wanted to pass on the info. But dance friends. That's all you have to do RIGHT now!!!

Love and hugs from Grandma and Grandpa Pincock. I knew she had scans coming up in January. So relieved to hear the great news. We are on our knees every day praying for Gwen's full recovery. Dr. Paul Andreason commented how great she looked, with no visible physical signs of all she's been through this year. He was amazed.

I'll try the lanolin if Caroline will let me put it on her. She doesn't like anything greasy or slimey on her face. I think that's probably why her face has gotten worse this time. What fun!!! We're still thinking of ya'll everyday. God bless!!

Taba and Ben, we just returned from a very fast paced 2 weeks in Utah for Becky's wedding. Now we are back in Mexico ready to settle in for the remaining 9 mos. of our mission here in the Mexico South Area. I hadn't checked Qwen's page for a few weeks and it was so good to catch up on what has been happening with you through the last part of August and now Sept. We are so happy that Gwen is responding well to all treatments so far and are sure that she will continue to do so, but we will add our prayers to yours and keep her name in the temple here in Mexico too. Our kids are hoping that we can somehow manage a D. W. Pincock Sr. family reunion in Roanoke next summer with our family and your Dad's and Sandy's families as well. Wouldn't that be great? By then Qwen will hopefully be home free. It would be really fun to see all those little counsins get acquainted and enjoy each other in the country. We come home the middle of June so be thinking about that possibility and talk it up with your siblings. It was fun to see the Whit Pincock family group on your web page. We look forward to getting better acquainted with Anna and meeting Qwen next summer when we are back East. Love, Aunt Cindy

We saw you at E. Cobb Park on Thursday, but I wasn't sure if it was you or not! By the time I made the connection(you both looked so familiar from pics I had seen on the site but it took me a while to put it all together), you guys were gone! I found your page months ago through Kylie's page and have been following Gwen's story. She looks great and I know you are enjoying being out and about! I was the one with the little girl with the beaded socks on who was playing with your friends' daughter that you guys were calling an "orphan" on the little "speakers" that the kids can talk to each other through. Anyway, it is always fun for me to put a face with a name and next time we will speak! Take care and keep on keeping on....we will continue to check in on you and pray for Gwen's complete healing! P.S. The luncheon sounded like such fun for you moms....who so deserve your own special time to be together away from doctors offices and hospitals. I have always been touched by Alex's story and her family's strength as well.

How wonderful to log on and hear the wonderful news you have to share. We are so glad to hear Gwen is doing well and having so many fun times! I did shed tears for Ethan. I'm glad to hear Anna loves Kindergarten. Elliott started, too, and is doing equally well, Yeah! I wasn't sure how it would go. I loved what you said about Gwen flying out of her crib when it is time to pick Anna up.

The pictures are great, what a wonderful family! Please send greetings to Ben from Doug.

I love to read how things are going in your lives and I especially love the little quotes you put in your journal entries that Gwen and Anna say, they say the funniest things!! Like, "your wildest dreams are coming true!" That cracked me up. I'm so happy that Gwen has been doing so well. What a blessing. We are always thinking of her, and of your cute family. I'm glad Anna is liking school too! That's great. We love ya!

My kids were talking about their "team Gwen" purple bracelets and I checked your website to see if you can still buy them. Can you? Emma and Harry would like some more. I'm so glad to see the new photos and Gwen's beautiful hair! Looks like Gwen is doing much better. I hope Anna is liking Kindergarten. I'll call soon. Maybe we can get together at the playground or Anna can come play one afternoon. Take Care.

We will all be together this next week to celebrate surviving this year with our sanity intact. This has been a huge project to save Gwen, and we thank everyone involved, including the doctors, nurses, friends, and especially God's healing hands. We are thankful for every day of Gwen's life.

Hi Guys!! It's been a long time since I've signed in here! Gwen and Anna, I love your picture cooling off in the BIG "pool"!! What could be more fun than a huge swimming pool right in your front yard! Anna, how are you loving kindergarten?? I bet you are learning so much. Do you like your teacher? I'm sure Gwen is so glad when you come home from school each day. You two are such sweet sisters - We love you so much. Gwen, how's the Accutane these days? I would love to see you "chew' em". Your mom says she tells you to swallow, and you say, "I chew 'em..!!" Yummmm. Maybe we're all missing something here... Anyway, love to you all. you are ALWAYS in our prayers...

Boy, that is one cute photo of the girls playing in the bucket! How do kids decide to do stuff like that and why do we stop when we get older? If I could find a bucket big enough I'd fill it with cold water and get right in!

The fact that Gwen likes the taste of her medicines is amazing. We do everything we can to disguise the tastes to get Ben to take his. Maybe Gwen can convince Ben that meds taste good?

We hope and pray that all continues to go well for Gwen and your whole family.

Hey guys,

I'm seriously impressed with how well Gwen has done with her medicine. Sobhan throws a fit whenever we need to give him the super-sweet cherry or grape flavored Tylenol or Motrin.

We're all very well. I have my two-day comprehensive exam in about two weeks and am studying hard for that. We're all looking forward to when that is over because I'll be taking next semester completely off from school in order to hang out with the babies. So hopefully it should be a relaxing time.

Much love to all of you,

Dallas, TX - Wednesday, July 27, 2005 11:55 PM CDT

Just had to let know that after all of these months Emily has prayed for Gwen everyday. She actually gets very upset if we ever forget Gwen and makes us redo the prayer. Today was the first day she did not bless Gwen to get better, to be "helfy" at the "hopthital", be safe with her mom and dad or get her tubes out. Instead it was "bless that Gwen can come visit us and have a party". The faith of a child is truly amazing, she figured all the other prayers worked she may as well aim for a visit. We hope you know how thrilled we are to know Gwen is doing better and healthy at home with her mom and dad and Anna of course. We miss you all so much and hope you know you are welcome to come have a party in Seattle any time!
We love you all!

Here is the trick. Kylie started last week. Use one of the needles you have from all the earlier treatments and stick the pill. Grab a spoon and put Hersheys Chocolate on it and then squeeze the pill's juice on the chocolate. Kylie has been taking it every time. Put a good hole in the pill so it comes out without squirting every where. I know this from experience. Good luck, we are jealous that the tubes will be coming out. We can't wait for Kylie's to be removed. Congrats on finishing the radiation. The rest of the road will be so easy.

Hey guys!

Congratulations on finishing radiation therapy!!! I hope and pray this will all be behind you soon as just a distant memory. You've all been so brave...especially little Gwennie. It's also so nice to read and see how loving the hospital staff have been with their little patient. Although it is still jarring to see the pictures of Gwen with her 'chine' and sleepy mask. Anyway, I hope Anna feels better soon as well. We're going to Utah next week...It will be fun to see our extended family, most of whom have never met Sobhan. I'm going to try to get a haircut from your mom before we go so I'll get to catch up on all your news. By the way, did I mention that we're having a girl? I'm due at the end of October. Much love,
Ehsaneh
- Monday, June 27, 2005 5:45 AM CDT

Hi Team Gwen,

I totally agree with Camp Jack. Yes, we did try to give in anything we could think of...but honestly, I think Chandler did the best just taking it with a sip of chocolate milk mixed with half&half( remember to try to give with something that has quite a bit of fat since the drug is metabolized with fat.) Another thing, remember most yogurt is either low fat or fat free so it is fine to give Gwen, but don't do like me and think it is good for the drugs.

Hoping Gwen takes them as well as Chandler and Jack! We are back on Accutane right now, and Chandler is doing great taking them. We did find that Aquafour and Eucerin are necessary during the two weeks we take them. Also at Toys R Us we found a bodysuit that has a SPF of 50 that is great for swimming! Chandler loves his. (I think he thinks he looks like a super hero, which of course he truly IS.) Just a suggestion...even sunscreen can be irritating but this suit is awesome. It is made by Coppertone.

Hoping you are continuing to beat the neuroblastoma monster!

Love,
Kim

Moultrie, GA - Sunday, June 26, 2005 10:21 PM CDT

Sweet Gwen and Family,
Congratulations on reaching the end of one more difficult treatment. Those days of radiation are grueling, aren't they? If nothing else, the drive is something to celebrate being done with too! Anyway, Gwen will do fine with the pills. She may gag the first time or two, but she'll get the hang of it. Many people recommended mixing the accutane in yogurt or ice cream. If we did that, Jack would have never eaten those things again. Besides, this is acid, and can cause mouth sores. I just didn't really like that idea too much. What worked for Jack was to put the pills in his mouth, take a drink, and then, throw his head back slightly. Since they are gelcaps (at least ours were), they slipped down pretty easily. By the end, he was taking two at a time. Also, be sure to have plenty of Aquaphor on hand, as her lips and skin will get very dry and itchy.

That's about it, friends. As always, you know that you can call us anytime if you have questions, but we know she'll do great.

We love you and are sending hugs to Anna, hoping she's feeling better. Take care, all.

Love,

Hurray! Qwen, we are so happy to hear that you have done so well and come through with flying colors and a great attitude. What a blessing and inspiration you have been to us all. Our little problems look so much more surmountable after living through this experience with you and your family. Our prayers have been with you every day and will continue through this last phase back to normalcy. What a choice little girl you are. Both you and Anna make such clever, astute comments. We have full confidence in the next generation being able to lead the world out of it's muddle and help it stay on track. Much love from your Great Aunt Cindy whose hoping to give you hug some day.

YIPPEEEEEEEEEEEEE! Thank God for the ability to get Gwen to this point. I wish the regimen was over, but I know God will give you the wisdom and give Gwen the amazing ability to swallow those pills. She is quite precocious, so I have great hopes that the pill swallowing will not overwhelm your beautiful family. Congratulations on making it to this milestone. I know you are ready for the tubes to come out....what a load off that will be.
Love and hugs,
nancy and Will's family

I check on and pray for Gwen daily and have been for months. I apologize, first, that I do not make a habit out of signing your guestbook. I follow several CB sites and often just can't find the words.

I did want to share on the pill swallowing though as it's funny that I just had this conversation with my sister-in-law (I don't really know why we had it but we did). She said that her dad (who is a physician) had her learn to swallow pills by practicing with M&M's. I believe that she said she was 7 or 8. Since Gwen is so much younger/smaller, perhaps she could do the mini M&M's.

Congratulations Gwen!! You are such a brave beautiful girl! Tell mommy to put your pills in applesauce or yogurt- that might help you get them down easier!

Oh, that is so cute! We love Mary Poppins and think Gwen is "Practically Perfect" in every way. Thank you so much for coming to and making Jack's birthday party complete. It wouldn't have been the same with you each of you.

Good luck on this last week. We are so happy you are on the final stretch! Be sure to do something special on Friday. I'm thinkin' that Gwen deserves the muddiest stompin' ground in town, and then the chance to go at it Baby!

You guys are awesome.

Oh, no buns, I mean bun... :) Well, way to go Ben for even thinking about learning. That's further than I've made it around here! And it's even Brad who is the dancer in our family. I hope he doesn't catch this posting... :) Hope Gwen can hang on and we'll keep praying that the side effects will be minimal and that you'll all survive all these different rolls you're called on to fill. You're doing great!

What a couple of dolls! Okay, if Ben can do the bun thing I will be so impressed! I can just see Anna in her ballet outfit. Does she wear black leotard with pink tights? Yeah, I can totally relate to the mommy-being-at-least-excited thing. What fun! I guess if Gwen were the one starting ballet it would make Ben's job a lot easier--no bun, anyway:) We are so happy Gwen is doing so well of late. We love you guys!

Gwen,

Like that Mac & Cheese, we could just eat you up. Really, could you be any more munchable?

You are doing awesome with radiation, Darlin', and are going to be done before you know it! We can't wait to see you on Saturday... We'll enjoy our cake a little more having you with us.

Love and hugs,

We can relate to loving a bald head! They're just so kissable!

Catie loves Mary Poppins to and that's her favorite song from it. Half the time when we're going somewhere and I say, "Ok Catie, let's go!" She looks at me and sings "fly a kite." Do the songs from that movie just stay in your head forever or what?!?! I'll take it over the Wiggles for sure though!

Hope things keep rolling along for you guys!

Ft. Worth, TX USA - Friday, June 10, 2005 11:20 AM CDT

We can relate to missing the bald head. It is just so kissable and sweet. But when we see you in a couple weeks, we can't wait to kiss the fuzz... That will be the sign that y'all are MOVIN' ON and Livin' on. And, you'll find her head just as kissable in all its baby chickness.

We're thinking of you each day with radiation. So sorry for the tremendously long day. That is so much more than any one can endure. Looking forward to the weekend for you...

Love and hugs to your Cutie Pie (seriously, could your photos be ANY cuter?)

You give Mr. Mike a "high five" and have your Mommy sing the "Wipe Out" song. You will love the ride to the tunnel. We are rooting you on and know that God will cover you with love in your coming days.

Tabitha and Ben, Gwen and Anna,
We are so happy to hear that Gwen is doing so well in response to the second transplant and are praying with you that all will go well with the radiation. Gwen has had to be so brave through all of this and Anna, you have been such a great "big sister." Grandma Hazel tells me about all the neat things you say and do. I wish we lived closer so we could be more part of your lives. But we love you and pray always that Heavenly Father will help your family through this big trial of your faith. Tabitha, so glad your mom can be there for a while. We have been so impressed by the way all the brothers and sisters have wanted to and been able to help out. Love, Aunt Cindy

Hey Taba,

Sounds like things are going well. Say hi to your mom for me when she's down there. Sobhan and I may be going to Iran for the summer. Much love to brave Gwen. Will the radiation therapy be harder or easier than the chemo. Easier I hope. Much love, Ehsaneh, Hamed & Sobhan

Gwen,
I love Dr. Nadia, she is awesome! You are going to love the ride from the hospital on the surfboard. My Mom's sang "Wipeout" all the way from the room, down the elevator, onto the golf cart and into the tunnel. The tunnel has great pictures of animals and fish. But the best part is Mike, the tech who will let you sit in the front seat and drive (you gotta ask nicely to do it). Mike is the coolest and I really liked him. He really looked out for me and made sure I had a great time before my treatments. Then their is Shannon, a cool dude for sure. He helped me get settle into the table and told me how to hold my arms and stuff. Then we counted down until I got loopy. I had so much fun and I was not even scared.

You can do it, I know you can. Don't forget to have you Mom sing Wipeout and make the drum sounds, it was cool.

We love you,
Jack

Hi Ben, Taba, Anna and Gwen!
I just wanted to report that Primary Childrens Medical Center has followed Team Gwen's lead and is now selling purple PCMC wristbands throughout the Salt Lake Valley for $5. They must have noticed the incredible amount of love and support being generated and that Team Gwen is growing at an amazing rate and decided they wanted a piece of that! :-)

The world is full of generous and loving people and the support for Gwen shown by many - a large number who haven't ever met her - is extremely heart warming. Gwen, with her amazing courage, strength and cheerful personality, is an inspiration to all of us. Thanks to all of you who have helped. The Team is growing every day. We love you Gwennie! Hang in there - we're praying for you!

I am so happy that your Grandma Noelle and your Grandpa Whit gave me the website connection so I could visit you over the internet. I am going to wear a wristband for you. You are growing stronger and healthier every day and we are so grateful for that. Lots of love from your friends in Silver Spring, Kim, Kimberlee, Sasha and Grant Staking

They all see your pictures and think you're just the cutest little girl. They ask me how you're doing every time they see me. It's so awesome. I hope you're feeling better and better every day. I'm still praying for you all the time. Keep being strong and beat this!! I know you can do it. I love you!

I have a fun little story for you. The other day Jeff and I were out and the kids had a babysitter. They were starting to have lunch and the babysitter said the prayer. After the prayer Michael,(5) said to her, "You forgot to pray for Gwen! You need to pray for her EVERY DAY!" Then he went ahead and said an extra prayer just for her. We thought you might enjoy that! We love you all! Happy Birthday Anna!

You don't know me but I've been following Gwen's story and her pictures made me smile today. She is a cutie!!! My favorite picture is the one of you two reading together. (It speaks to my heart since I'm a kindergarten teacher.) Do the hospitals have a lot of children's books available or do you bring your own? I'm getting an idea for a possible grant or charity type event to raise funds for books. Let me know if you think of it. Your family is in my daily prayers. Stay strong and faithful.

We keep you in our prayers and on the prayer roll of the Mexico City Temple every day. We are so grateful that Nurse Nora was so alert and that you made it through that tough time and that you seem to be improving on schedule. Anna, we are glad that you had such a good time with Grandma Noel in Washington. We wish we lived closer so we could visit with your too. Grandma Hazel tells us about all the special things you do and say. We hate to see little Gwen having to go through all these hard things, but what a blessing that they can do these things to help her be healthy again. We pray that your family will soon be home together and things somewhat back to normal for your little family. Your faith and courage is an inspiration to us all. Love, Aunt Cindy

Hi Gwen, I'm Aunt Heidi's sister. My name is Susan. I'm sorry that you are sick, but boy am I proud of you and your family. You guys are doing such a good job.I'm going to write a little story here for you. Once upon a time there were two little mice. Their names were Missy and Snippy, and I bet you can figure out which one was the girl! They lived in a blackberry bramble that went over a big brick wall. Their favorite friend was a Robin who let them ride on her back when she flew over the meadow. Their WORST friend was Roy. Can you guess what kind of an animal Roy was.......Yep, a cat. Well, I think that is all I should write to you now. If you have time, try to decide if Missy and Snippy should use dandilion puffs, or milkweed down for their pillows. I'll tell you about their house next time. Take care, Love Susan Winters

You are a brave girl and we are very proud of you.

When Anna was here and I asked what her bracelet said, she told me "It says: Live strong for Gwennie." Just like Anna, we are all trying to live strong for Gwennie. And now we get to have cool bracelets too to remind us of Gwen's strength. Thanks for being such a great example of strength and determination...all of you! We love you guys!!

Team Gwen- Try using the suction tube by the bed with Gwen. When Kylie had the same stringy mucous I would turn on the suction and put the tube in her mouth. She cried but it sucked out all the crud. It is very handy!! Ask them for a soft tip for the tube. It won't cut her mouth or hurt her. Ask Nora, I did it when she was around. Nora is awesome. Raquel and her really got along. Those nurses there a special people. Hope the recovery starts soon. Hang in there Team Gwen.

Gwen - Day 0!! Just get through these next few yucky days, and then - no more chemo! We are praying for those cells to GROW! We have all of you in our prayers, and also are so grateful for those who have shown their support by buying TEAMGWEN wristbands. It is humbling and heartwarming to see this outpouring of love for you! I am so grateful for so many people here in Salt Lake City who have adopted you into their hearts. We will keep praying for you, and for your mom and dad and ANNA that they will have the strength to see you through this!
Lots of love,
Sara, Rass, Ally and Sam

Thinking of you today on Gwen's new Day 0. We will be praying for all of you over these tough couple of weeks to come. Ethan will start his appointments at Scottish this week, which makes me disappointed that we won't be able to stop by and say Hi.

Hi T&B, just doing my weekly catching up on the journal and re-looking at the cute photos session. I got my shipment of wristbands a few days ago and am mailing them out to everyone who ordered them tomorrow. I'll send you a list of who they are. Hopefully they'll sign the guestbook too once they get them. Geeze, just makes me cry sweet tears thinking of all the people wearing Gwen wristbands and supporting her. Way to be strong, keep it up. We love you and miss you so much. We were looking at flights to come down for Anna's and Samara's birthdays, but looks like it's going to be too expensive, especially since we now have to buy ShooShoo a ticket!

Hi Gwennie! I'm just dropping a note to let you know that your TEAM is growing out here in Utah!! We have successfully sold nearly 200 beautiful purple TEAM GWEN wristbands to many of Ally and Sam's friends at Bonneville Elementary in Salt Lake City. That is just in 3 days! We are still working and won't stop until every child has one! I hope you will receive some notes from some of the cute kids out here who are so concerned about you and interested in how you are doing. We love you so much and will be praying for you to be strong in the days to come. You are ever so brave! Hang in there. Can't wait to see you, Anna, and your mom and dad when I come to visit in a couple of weeks.
Hugs and Love, Sara, Rass, Ally and Sam

I called Anna the other night to say hello. Dan told her a knock knock joke :) I can't believe how grown up she is. Sounds like she's having fun, but missing her family, too, that will be so fun when she comes home!
Love you guys a lot... kisses to Gwen...

Hi Taba. So sad to hear of your friends' passings. I don't doubt that you will have a special mission in this life to help those who are suffering from cancer. Your 'nancy nurse' in you and your physiology background are both great head starts. Love the sweet photos. Talking to Logan, sounds like we probably won't get to come down for a visit before we leave for China in May. Logan couldn't figure out why I was so disappointed because who else gets to visit family every couple months throughout the year? I was thinking about it, and since we left Atlanta, we have been able to get together every couple of months. Then I look at the photos of the girls and miss you all so much and think that's not nearly enough!! Well, I'll stop blubbering. Love you,

Hello Tabitha, Ben, Anna, and Gwen. Happy birthday to Gwen. It is really nice reading your daily journal entries. Thank you for taking the time to share with us. It really brings it all home.

Tabitha & Ben,
You both have done a great job with Gwen during transplant and are almost done with number one. Day +10 is a GREAT day and you can start to see the end. We truly enjoy seeing Gwen do her laps and she always has the cutest way of talking while walking. Gwen and your family are in our prayers and we know that Gwen is on her way to complete healing. We enjoyed getting to know you better this weekend and look towards the day when Gwen and Ethan can actually see each other face to face and not mask to mask. :)

P.S. Don�t lose the instructions on the prehistoric infuser. You will need it sooner than you think.

I had no idea that the counts would go up so quickly (although I'm sure it seems like an eternity to you all)! That's awesome news! We thought we'd be in there at the same time as you, but we may be cutting it close. We come in on the 21st. We'll look for you, but pray you'll be long gone. Gwen's always in our prayers and now we'll add your back!

I have been following your site for a couple of months. We go to church with the Alains and found your site through theirs. We have three children, the youngest of which has a genetic disability. Even though we are on different roads, I do know how hard it is to watch your child struggle and to be uncertain about the future. I have been following your site daily and lifting you up in prayer to the One who holds Gwen in His hands and will meet her every need.

Oh, I hate that you had to buy a fridge! I was trying to coordinate getting it with Dana, but days kept getting away from us (actually, she's so sweet, she wanted to drive it back to us from Alpharetta, and I kept saying No!) I'm soooo sorry. We really wanted to help y'all that way. Oh well, at least you have cold Diet Coke now!

Just a few more days, and she will be zooming out of there. My prediction? Day +15!

Love you guys!

Tabitha and Ben, Anna and Gwen, we are so grateful that so far all is going well. We're glad that Sarah told us about the web page so that we can be apprised of her daily progress. We keep you in our daily prayers on the prayer rolls at every temple we visit as we make our trips around the south part of Mexico to visit the zone conferences for our nine missions. There are 8 temples in our area so that is a lot of prayers being raised in Gwen's behalf. We love you and wish we could be of more assitance. A little something should be coming in the mail soon.

I hope tonight is more restful for all. There is lots of activity with low BP, but it is for the best, but it is so scary and exhausting. We feel your pain and are praying that improvement comes soon. You are in the midst of the worst....but we are praying that the good days will be on schedule. Thanks for your note Tabitha on Will's site. I hope to see you and Anna at family night tomorrow night, but so much can happen on BMT. The right time will come....patience is a virtue.....but, it is hard to be patient when your sweet baby is so desperately ill. We are praying for you along with so many others.

Happy Re-birthday Gwen! Who did the transplant? Ellen did Will's so I was expecting her to be in the pic! I am glad things are going well, but don't be too distraught or surprised when things get bad. For us it was day 2 when all hell broke loose but I heard from Merrill's family with bone marrow that it was day 10. I don't want to be negative, but be prepared so that you don't hit rock bottom. It is awful, but after what they prepare you for....well it is better than the release forms. Gwen is tough and they will help you with all the stuff you need to help her get through this. Don't let up on the aquaphor. What a nuisance when they don't feel good, but it really, really helps. The thiotepa "burn" look didn't appear on Will until about a week after transplant and it was not pretty--but it wasn't painful.

WE are so proud of you all, this is so tough, but Gwen is inspiring to all of you to fight and press on. We are praying for her fight to continue--a great step towards healing. I hope you are getting some sleep. Sweet dreams on re-birthday night.
Love,
Nancy and Will

Dear Tabitha, Ben, Anna, and Gwen

Kristin Davenport forwarded us the link to your site. We just finished reading through your daily journal and are overcome with your strength, patience, and love for each other. We didn't want another minute to go by without you knowing of our love for you as well. Know that your long lost cousins in Utah are praying, fasting, and thinking of you especially this weekend. We hope this knowledge adds to your courage. Dave's dad went through chemo and radiation last summer/fall to treat a tumor (lymphoma) surrounding his optic nerve. Only a drop in the bucket compared to what Gwen is facing with her much smaller and growing body. She must be a remarkable girl. We look forward to meeting her some day soon.

Lots of love,

Mason Family,
So glad we got to see you all at the circus!! It was pretty terrific but Chandler was ready to go at intermission...

So Friday is THE day....don't get your excitement going too much...after all the "big count down" and all it is really so uneventful. Ten minutes and its over! But at this point uneventful is a very good thing.

Hoping Dr. Chiang and Haight are taking excellent care of Gwen... I know they are. Have you had or seen Mama Duck? We loved her on the weekends. She bonded with Chandler.

Just wanted you to know that your family is on our minds and in our prayers.

Much love to you,

Hey guys,
Looks like Jack may have had Roseola. Usually it strikes between 6-24 months, but with his baby immune system, he got it. It takes nine days or so to incubate. I'm not sure if Gwen has had it, but I wanted to let you know so you can inform the doctors. It's a herpes virus (I read), so Axcyclovir will probably cover it. Just ask. Sorry!!!

Sending you tons of love,

Way to go Sunshine Gwen! Keep laughing and being your adorable self. This will be over very soon.

Tabitha & Ben: Remember Day +10. Focus on it. When things get bad, you know they'll turn around for the better around that time. We are thinking of you every day. Please let us know if we can do anything more to help. (At the very least, we hope you're sleeping a little more comfortably!)

I've never met you, but I have been following Gwen's story since Dec, on a link from Hayley's site. Gwen first grabbed my heart because we share the same birthday, except I'm a few decades older !!! I am praying that all goes wonderfully well this week. I am asking God that this be exactly the cure your precious baby needs. You have shown yourselves to be stronger than any family should ever have to be, and I'm sure that you will champion this challege as well. Praying for you from Stockbridge.

Wow! That picture is gorgeous!!!

It was so awesome spending time with you and Gwen this morning. She is absolutely yummy, and Jack thoroughly enjoyed his time with you both. In addition to just getting to know each other better, I hope we were able to help in some small way. We know how terribly frightening the transplant experience is, but we are here to support you in ANY way we can. You have our number -- use it any time day or night.

We'll be cheering you on and sending cyber hugs throughout the days to come. YOU CAN DO THIS! Now, go get that cure, Gwen!!!

Tabitha,

Hoping like heck your MIBG and CT went well! It does make for an impossibly long day. Does Gwen drink the contrast pretty well? Those nose tubes are so yucky!!

I'm writing to ask you and all of your prayer warriors to add Chandler to your list! We got a CT done on Friday that showed "spots" on his lungs that have never been there before. We , hopefully, will have an MIBG on Wed (if they can get the drug...you know how special all of that is!) and more than that, we hope it stays darker than ever in his lungs....for that matter...dark EVERYWHERE!!

Thanks for your well wishes! I will be checking in on your scan results and your progression through transplant!

Fighting and praying together,

We are glad you are feeling a little better, and happy for Tabitha and her washing machine. Anna, I know you must worry when Gwen is so sick to her tummy. You are such a good big sister.

Hello Mason Family - I got to Gwen's site through another CaringBridge page and when I read her story, I realized that she's only 4 days younger than my niece, Abby, and 3 weeks younger than my niece Rachel. I cannot believe that you are going through all of this with a little one like that. What I really cannot believe is that you are able to hold her still for a moment - my nieces are like butterflies - darting everywhere all the time. I will add precious Princess Gwen to my prayer list for speedy recovery. God Bless You All!

I've come across your site from Hayley's, (I saw your guestbook entry). I wanted to pass along our prayers for your family. As a mother of 3 girls, one who is Gwen's age, my heart breaks for all that your family is going through. I will be praying constantly for all of you so that you can return to normal family life soon and your girls can just be kids. Until then, know many, many prayers are working for you.

Hi Tabitha,
I'm Chandler Booth's mom. I met you at the Scottish clinic this summer (or was it the fall?) Anyway, I found your collection at Egg to be so very similar to ours!!! It is the biggest case of " hurry up and wait" I think I've ever endured!!!! It is maddening! Chandler, like Gwen handled it well, but it is just stupid ....really almost cruel to do that to such little ones. I do sympathize!!

Hang on! We keep remembering you in prayer and checkin in on you. Are you going to be transplanted at Egg or at another facility? Our experince at Egg was as good as a transplant can be.

In His hands,
Kim

Hi Tabitha,
I met you in the Scottish clinic in Oct. I'm so glad yoou got a caringbridge site now, as the other one is identified as "spam" and is often hard to get to. I'm frustrated along with you with you "insurance" problems. Don't they realize this is soooo much more important than burearacy (sp?) ??? Maybe it will straighten out very soon for you. Who knows? Maybe this is all part of God's plan!!!!
Just wanted you to know that I have been reading your updates. Hang on, it will get better!
