I'm so very happy that your beautiful little girl is cancer free and I too pray that it stays that way and thank you for continuing to pray for others - my daughter Sophie is 4years old and still has a brain tumour of 6.7cm, we pray everyday that it is shrinking as nothing more can be done. She is a miracle already as last June, she was given only weeks to live and I like to see all these children defy the odds!

Thanks for the encouraging words, my *sister-in-cancer* and great friend!! We keep you guys lifted in prayer and appreciate how you do it for us too. McKenzie looks so great. I know we feel the same about how to deal with cancer and its effects of treatment, etc. (head on) but Carol, M is going to be fine, Just fine. She is going to be as strong and tall as her twin Kylie! God has ordained it, so it will be that way. I'm not stupid enough to tell you to stop worrying...we will always worry to some degree. But I just know McKenzie is going to be fine. Can't wait to come to her wedding. She'll be a spectacular bride.

Hi guys!

We continue to think of you often! I know your scans have been frustrating. We are playing for clear readings and good news with the next round of them.

We wanted to let you know about a golf tournament we're having to raise money for CureSearch. We're featuring kids who have battled cancer at each hole and we'd love for McKenzie to be one of the kids we feature. If you're interested we just need a picture of her (4x6 or 5x7) and all her info (age, dx, imp. dates, etc.). There's more info. on our website if you need it!

We're holding Chandler (and Kim, Jim Mack, and Betsy) so close in prayer as we await news from his scan tomorrow. My heart has hurt for them so since I talked to Kim Friday afternoon.

Praying for you guys too,
Jenny

You're right, there is no "exact science of medicine" as much as we may wish there were, and I can only imagine how frustrating that must be to you.

Dear Carol,

I have been following McKenzie's journey for several months now and I wanted you to know that I have been praying for her and the whole family. My family too, has been touched by cancer. I anxiously await the clarification of the scans and pray that the "spots" are nothing to be concerned about.

God Bless You All!

My dear friend, Carol:
How my heart hurts for you - not that I believe anything "bad" is happening with McKenzie, but just because of the lack of clarity these scans bring. I have always prayed before Brandon's scans for "clarity", but it rarely came, at least the way I wanted. I also just hate it that I was out of town this time. I'm just going to have to tell the world that it must stop when it's time for McKenzie's scans b/c I just have to be here. We miss seeing y'all so much!
I will call this week to catch up. You've been in my constant thoughts and prayers.
Love,

Oh goodness... I am so sorry to hear about Steve's dad. I am glad you were able to see him at Halloween. We never do know, do we? I'll be praying for all of you.

The 29th, huh? Our scans are the same day. We're coming up the night before and we'll be in town through Thursday. Praying that BOTH of our families get great news that day! Hope we can see you while we're in town.

Steve and his mom are in our prayers as they mourn the loss of his father. My husband lost his mother suddenly when he was in his early twenties. I know this is a hard time for you, but I believe you will see him again. Of course, little Miss McKenzie remains in my heart and prayers as you have scans coming up soon. I hope your whole family will have a wonderful Christmas and will enjoy just being together.

Just wanted to stop in and say HI to all of you! We had dinner last night with the Braden's, and McKenzie's name came up. The only good thing about this cancer journey is getting to know so many wonderful families ... well, that and people and places like the Lighthouse. I hope your trip went well! We went to the Lighthouse in July, with the Connors. They are a great family, aren't they? :) Anyway, I hope the girls had a good birthday and things continue to go well for your family!

Dear Carol,
I don't think that I've ever written in your guestbook before, but I learned of McKenzie's web site from the Rhabdo-Kids list and have it in my favorites so I check back often and knew about the upcoming scans. I had been praying for a good report. I'm so thankful and happy for the good news. Happy birthday to your sweet girls. I love the new pictures. They are precious. Praying for more of God's blessings everyday for your family.

Love in Christ,

Have been holding my breath until we got your post. I was so worried for you all. I believe as you do, that McKenzie is now, and will stay, cancer free. Happy birthday to both your little girls. I know how sweet Jacob's 2 year birthday was for us. Tomorrow (9/23) will be the one year anniversary of Jacob's last treatment. Our next scans will be in Oct. Are you still planning on the off therapy celebration at Six Flags? Call CURE if you haven't gotten your invititation yet. They want the RSVP by the first of Oct. Hope we can celebrate that day with you all.

HELLO DEAR SWEET LITTLE GIRL, GOSH YOU ARE SOOOO PERTTY,
THANK YOU ALL FOR SIGNING TYLER WEB PAGE,HE WAS YOUR AGE WHEN THEY FOUND HIS RHABDO- HE HAS A DRIFFRENT SUB TYPE THAN YOU,HE IS OK FOR NOW, OUR PRAYERS ARE WITH YOU AND WE WILL BE KEEPING UP WITH YOU ,TO SEE HOW YOU ARE DOING , PLEASE PLEASE STAY STRONG ,GOD WILL WALK US ALL THROUGH THIS,
WE WILL KICK THE CANCER MONSTER RIGHT OUT OF OUR LIVES,
IF I KNEW

If I knew it would be the last time
That I'd see you fall asleep,
I would tuck you in more tightly
and pray the Lord, your soul to keep.

If I knew it would be the last time
that I see you walk out the door,
I would give you a hug and kiss
and call you back for one more.

If I knew it would be the last time
I'd hear your voice lifted up in praise,
I would video tape each action and word,
so I could play them back day after day.

If I knew it would be the last time,
I could spare an extra minute
to stop and say "I love you,"
instead of assuming you would KNOW I do.

If I knew it would be the last time
I would be there to share your day,
Well I'm sure you'll have so many more,
so I can let just this one slip away.

For surely there's always tomorrow
to make up for an oversight,
and we always get a second chance
to make everything just right.

There will always be another day
to say "I love you,"
And certainly there's another chance
to say our "Anything I can do?"

But just in case I might be wrong,
and today is all I get,
I'd like to say how much I love you
and I hope we never forget.

Tomorrow is not promised to anyone,
young or old alike,
And today may be the last chance
you get to hold your loved one tight.

So if you're waiting for tomorrow,
why not do it today?
For if tomorrow never comes,
you'll surely regret the day,

That you didn't take that extra time
for a smile, a hug, or a kiss
and you were too busy to grant someone,
what turned out to be their one last wish.

So hold your loved ones close today,
and whisper in their ear,
Tell them how much you love them
and that you'll always hold them dear

Take time to say "I'm sorry,"
"Please forgive me," "Thank you," or "It's okay."
And if tomorrow never comes,
you'll have no regrets about today.

I'm at school and only have a second to write, but I wanted you to know that you and McKenzie were on my mind this morning as I first awoke. If only we could always know when we are on someone's mind, it might be the best support ever. I can't believe we were on your mind too. Much thanks for the sweet words in our guestbook.

Your friendship is such an indescribable treasure to me! I know I can call on you and you can understand like no one else! Plus, you aren't long distance!!! Hee Hee!!

Have a great trip! Eat cheesecake for me!

Good scans to you, my friend!

We are praying that there is not one, single cancer cell in McKenzie's body and that there will never be another cancer cell there again.

Can't believe your twins and our Catie are all almost 2!

My DEAR McKenzie & Carol!!!...I'm sooooo sorry it's taken me soooooooo long to get back to visit and talk with you for a bit!! McKenzie - you're adorable sweetie!

I've been really busy with my 1 1/2 jobs and my wedding (8/15) and Mom's back surgery (8/23) and then her rehab stay (5 days - of the 7 supposed) and now the recuperating time (of 3 months!!!) and Chelsea turned 10 on 9/7 and her slumber party is this Saturday!!!! with about a dozen girls!!!

Though I've been praying fervently (DAILY) for McKenzie and thinking about you all EVERY day, I couldn't seem to find the time to STOP and write a few lines. I've wanted to call, but by the time I think about it, it's 10 or 11 PM (ct) and I KNOW it's really late where you're at!!!
I pray that you TOO!!! get to celebrate a slumber party with your twins on their 10th birthday Carol, as my God is allowing me to do so this weekend!!!

I've had you guys on my heart so much so that I will (at those times especially) stop and pray a special prayer just for McKenzie!!!.....and KNOW in your heart that I will continue to do so!!!...especially after finding out why I've felt such HEART-TUGS lately!!

While I'm happy to tell you that we just found out last Thurs. that we're pregnant
(as of the 15 or 16th-NODOUBT!)
we also found out (after an MRI) that my husband has 3 bulging discs. I ask for your prayer mostly for our FAITH not to falter but to grow even stronger. I told him over the phone just now (after his checkup this afternoon with the Dr. that found it....I couldn't go with him, though I wish I had) that maybe that's why we met, and he said "why? so that you could take me to your Dr. (never been to one since he was a kid) and so he could find something wrong with me?" - I said "no, so that we could find it before you wound up in a wheelchair and so that we could get through this together and with MUCH FAITH"!!!
He's been referred to the same Dr. Ramsey in Midland, TX that did Mom's surgery and I think that God's DIVINE PLAN is 'in the works'!!!

I'll most definitely pray for stronger and continued FAITH and STRENGTH and PEACE and HEARTFELT EXCITEMENT over God's DIVINE PLAN and HOLY WILL as well as HEARTFELT ACCEPTANCE of HIS WILL for McKenzie !!!
As I told Noel (my honey), God won't let us down, but we DO have to give it up to HIM and LET GO!!
I had a difficult time doing this with Mom's surgery (especially since she's 70!!!) but once I did as SHE had already done!!!, I felt a tremendous weight lifted!!

My love to you all...and please do keep my Noel Rosa in prayer as I continue to do with My sweet little angel McK.

Love & Hugs & Kisses & Angel Blessings!!!.....^j^..... c

Dear Carol:
Reading your update, I think I felt a little of that air being squeezed out feeling you describe. Carol, I know how traumatic it was for you to hear that there had been talk about hospice. The kinds of emotional scars you feel will take a LOOOOOOONG time to heal, or at least to feel a little less intense. I know you are anxious about the re-scans. Please, you know that I will do absolutely anything I can to help you through this. Our door is open if we didn't scare you away last time. We're here, surrounding you with love and prayers.
Love,
Kristin

Hi Carol,
McKenzie is truly a miracle...she is a miracle from God. I pray that spot is miracously gone, and that you will have no further worries or cancer concerns. I love the new pic with the mardi gras beads, McKenzie seems to have more than her share of beads around her neck. LOL I got quite a chuckle when I saw that. I'm still smiling as a matter of fact. Those baby girls are just too, too cute.
As always I send my daily love, prayers and hugs from Houston.

HI Y'all -
Just wanted to let you know that we are thinking of you.
Hope Hurricane Frances is staying away from you - knocked the power out for my parents and my brother - but that's all they had to worry about thank goodness. LOVE the new pictures - such gorgeous kids! LET'S TALK SOON!!!!
We love you!

Hey Carol, Just wanted you to know I am still out here praying for you and McKenzie. She really is a miracle and I give God all the glory. When you wrote that the doctors were 99% sure the cancer had returned I remembered one of my favorite verses: I Cor. 2:5 THAT YOUR FAITH SHOULD NOT STAND IN THE WISDOM OF MEN BUT IN THE POWER OF GOD.
I have also been concerned for you and the hurricane since I'm not really sure how close you are to Florida. I hope you are all safe and dry!

Hi Carol,
I'm following up my email to you and adding a guestbook entry for precious McKenzie. There's not a day that goes by that I dont pray for McKenzie's total healing, and I think about her often throughout the day. My own 2 grown sons know about McKenzie and how much I think of her. I truly consider her one of my own. Many prayers and much love sent your way.

Hiya, just saying a hello, I have a few jokes for you today, this time about bears



Q: What do you get if you cross a skunk with a bear?
A: Winnie the Pooh!



Q: Why do bears have fur coats?
A: Because they'd look stupid in anoraks!







Lots of love and big…

Hi Carol and McKenzie,
I have been thinking about you all since I saw the results of your scans. I am positive that it's just something they missed before. We won't entertain the idea of anything other than that, but we'll keep praying. Thanks for stopping by Jacobs site and thinking of us. I tried to call you today, but you weren't at home, so I thought I'd drop by here and leave you a note. I really enjoyed meeting you both in person, finally, and hope that we can do it again some time.

Dear Fleming Family,

I have been praying for another Rhabdomyosarcoma patient, Connor Hunley, age nine and a half, for about a year. During the past two months, I have been visiting a lot of the other CaringBridge websites, and I found McKenzie's site tonight. She is a beautiful little girl, and I will pray for her, before leaving.

One of your other recent signers commented on how wonderful, that despite everything, your faith remains strong. May you be graced to continue being close to God and to each other.

God bless you all!

Grace and peace,

~Colette~

Connor is having a rough summer. If anyone would like to learn about him or leave a message, the website is at http://www.caringbridge.org/tn/connorhunley

Keep the faith....God is answering and, as hard as it absolutely has to be....let your faith grow, trusting Him to bring the clear scans. Much love and prayer, Mona

I CANNOT imagine the terrible 2's time 2!!!! I'm betting you can though! =) We're loving all the normalcy we can find in the world, and I know you know exactly what I mean!

Arrgghh on the scan! We are definitely praying that it's an old spot that they missed on the last CT. We're praying for you and Steve as you wait for the next scan. I know the waiting STINKS!!

Praying for normal days and a good report from scans in a few weeks. Praying for long, happy, healthy lives for our girls (and your boys!).

You have definitely been one of the bright spots on our cancer journey. I was going through some stuff for Catie's scrapbook the other night and I found the very first journal I had ever read of yours. I printed it out to keep all those months ago, b/c it proved to me that someone out there "got it" and understood how I felt! Thanks for always writing so honestly here on McKenzie's page.

You know I'm praying for our girls,

Actually, we said a little prayer at Craigville Beach yesterday. We were down for the afternoon, remembering our days at the beach with you before we were even pregnant with Logan and Maggie :-)
We love you and miss you. We'll talk soon.

Hi!
I just came to McKenzie's site for the first time. I found her site through Gabbie Paquette's web site. I read as much of her journey as possible, and I must say that for one so young she has been through way too much. I wanted to let you know that I will be praying for her tomorrow when she goes for her scans. She is a beautiful child of God.

We love you and are here for you in every way!

Greetings from South Dakota! You don't know me, but I stopped by your website at the request of another caringbridge site. I have to say that little McKenzie is absolutely adorable. My heart instantly melted when I saw that beautiful little face looking into the mirror. I don't have a little girl, but I do have two little boys, ages 6 and 3 1/2. Kids are a miracle in themselves, but it looks like you just received an additional miracle. I will add little McKenzie to my prayer list and continue to check in on her. God bless each of you.

Carol & Steve:

Our hearts are so full of joy for you and your sweet little McKenzie. We just keep smiling and smiling as we think of you. We still can't believe you went home so quickly!! We were all prepared to come help Steve hold down the fort at the hospital over the weekend - was it nice to NOT be needed since you were already home!!

I will never EVER forget walking down that hospital hallway, seeing you talking to Dr. George and watching the look of utter amazement on your faces as he told you the news. I still get chills and goose bumps as I think about it. As I left you last week and drove away from the hospital - there was a horrendous downpour outside. Inside my car there was another downpour - but of tears, as they streamed down my face as I offered thanks to our dear God. May he continue to be close to you and continue to be at sweet McKenzie's side.

Love & Hugs,
Will, Clare, Phil & Jane

PS: ANYTIME you're in Atlanta, you better let all of us know!!

PRAISE GOD FOR ANSWERING ALL OUR PRAYERS!!!! I have heard so much about after finishing tx, getting spots on liver and lungs. It scares the heck out of everyone and I am soooo thankful the spots are NOT cancer. McKenzie is HEALED and we CLAIM IT WITH ALL OUR HEARTS! PRAISE GOD! There must be alot of rejoicing at your house and around the world with all of us who follow your journey.

What a gorgeous little doll!!!! Great picture! God's miracles are out there all the time but some are done in such indisputable fashion that even the toughest cynics/agnostics have to scramble to find a way to deny His loving care and attentiveness to our prayers. I share your joy at getting back your daughter and like the woman at the well, I'm proud that you are anxiously running to tell others how Jesus Christ loves us and is waiting for our prayers so He can change lives!

I just read all of McKenzie's story. God has been so good--so faithful. I'll never understand why our kids have to go through this. I praise God that sweet little McKenzie has not relapsed. I'll being praying for you all.
We are on the Rhabdo-Kids List. Jason (18) was diagnosed with Alveolar Rhabdo in Feb. 2004. Cancer is terrifying, the diagnosis, the treatments and even off treatment, the fear of relapse. I think: that God has not given us a spirit of fear-but I'm still afraid for Jason. GOD IS MUCH MORE POWERFUL THAN ANY CANCER. I just have to keep on remembering that God is good and that He is still in control, that He loves us and that everything works together for good to those who love Him. That said- I do hate cancer and wish all were healed and no one else would ever get it.

My Prayer for you

This morning when I awakened
And saw the sun above
I softly said,"Good Morning Lord,"
Bless everyone I love
Right away I thought of you
And said a loving prayer
That He would bless you specially
And keep you in his care
I thought of all the happiness
A day could hold in store
I wished it all for you because
No one deserves it more
I felt so warm and good inside
My heart was all aglow,
I know God heard my prayers for you,
He hears them all you know.

We are all Praying for you!!!!!!!!!!

I have 2 yr old twins, and though I do not completely understand what you are going through, I do understand the love you have for your baby. God has truly blessed you and I hope she continues to do well. I would love to get together with you and your twins sometime as our twins are very close in age. Email me some time.

My prayer for you tonight is for peace and REST! I also am praying that Mckenzie will have a peaceful night. Just be thankful she has that "fight" in her! I have just tucked Logan and Heather in. They seem to be like an old married couple. Logan knows to wait and see what side of the bed Heather tells him to get on! She sighed tonight and looked over at Logan and said " I hope you dont snore as loud tonight- I need my rest!" Of course he just said " okay Heather." I am still laughing! We have had a ball with him. I will email you our "family" portrait as soon as I can.HAHAHA! Hopefully all is quiet with yall right now. I am praying every spare minute for yall. We love you and can't wait to get you all home!! Good night sweet Mckenzie! Love- The Dunn's

Steve and Carol,

I am just now adding an entry to the guestbook, because for a couple of days, I have been trying to figure out exactly what to say. I never did. My heart hurts so much for you and all your children. I have prayed and asked many friends of mine to pray also. I can't tell you to be strong...you are already the strongest people I know. I don't think I could go through what you and your family have gone through (and are going through) and remain so faithful. My children are my world, as I know that yours are to you, and for one of them to be sick is devastating. I think about you constantly these days, and continue to be upset with myself for not going to see you when we live so close to each other. Please forgive me. I am constantly going to the website hoping for an update...not just an update, but a word or two of some good news that your precious baby is better and stronger. I will continue to look for these updates and pray always for McKenzie to live for 100 years. Take care, be strong and know that I am here if you should need ANYTHING. I Love you, Johna

Carol,
It IS so unfair!!! But you are right, life is not like God. He is fair, but so often, life is not. Ever since I learned I was pregnant w/ Catie, I prayed for her to have a long, happy, and HEALTHY life. It continues to be my prayer for her even in the midst of this mess called cancer. I have no doubt that He has the power to heal Catie, McKenzie, Chandler, all of the others, but I know that does not always happen. I do not know why. I don't know why children have to suffer. I do know He is with us always. I do know that He hears our cries. I do know His hand is on your sweet McKenzie even now as she is in surgery. We are praying for her and for you all. Praying for her complete healing, praying that the spots are not cancer at all. I pray that you will receive the good news today that we all so desperately want for you.

Tre' (my hubby) has asked about McKenzie twice today, and he doesn't usually do that. I know he is thinking of you guys and praying as well.

I love the Ephesians verse and it's one we hold onto as well. One we have held tightly to is Jer. 29:11 "For I know the plans I have for you," says the Lord. "Plans to prosper and not to harm you. Plans for a HOPE and a FUTURE."

Much love and many prayers,
Jenny

Carol,
I know that you feel all alone, but I want you to know that there are soooo many people out here lifting you up in our prayers constantly. You will certainly be in my prayers today during the surgery. I am specifically praying for you to have PEACE, along with strength, wisdom and that you will feel God's love all around you. Of course I am also praying for a miracle for your precious baby! I don't know what will happen, but I know He is sovereign and He loves you so much that he sacrificed his own Son for you. He has so much compassion for you because He has seen his own child suffer on the cross. He knows exactly what you are feeling. You are not really alone. I will write again soon.

I am praying for your sweet baby. You speak so eloquently of the mysteries and the unfairness of life -- these haunt me, too. My favorite comforting verse is "Now we see through a mirror dimly...then we shall see face to face." I don't know if there are any answers here on earth, but while we are here, we can draw comfort from each other as we share our journies. I pray that you can feel the love and caring coming to you from those you know and from those of us you have never met in person.

We are praying for her here in Madison, Georgia. She is a precious child....and beautiful.....God is at work and while tempted, we cannot question.

Hi Flemings,
I have not been able to bring myself to write since getting the terrible , awful news! I enjoyed McKenzie playing on my back and hair with her chopsticks last night at the last night of VBS. She is just so adorable and looks so, so normal. It is hard to imagine something is growing in those sweet little lungs of hers.
I'm glad that you have a few more days at home before you have surgery. I know you are nervous (naturally) but this can be a special time for you to bond .
I love you so much.

Carol and Steve and Family,
Bob and I were upset to hear of McKenzie's new horrors. She was so very cute at the picnic with Kylie. I was so hoping that she would not relapse. I keep up with you by the journal most every day, and call the church to find out if they have heard any news. Our prayers are with you. I will be more than glad to help in any way that I can, I just do not know what to do at this time except to pray. Know that our love will surround you and we are with you in our thoughts and prayers.

Carol and Steve,
As I think of all that you are having to go through, my heart aches. I keep a little note about McKenzie's journey on my desk at work and every time I notice it, I say a short prayer for you all. I even called some old friends of mine in Kentucky so that they could begin to pray too. There are so many prayers going up for your whole family, and most importantly McKenzie, right now. Just know that you are loved by complete strangers and we feel like we are going through this right beside you. As I read this journal everyday, tears well up in my eyes. I could never imagine how you are feeling, I just hope that knowing about our prayers is helping you. As you are up in Atlanta next week, you guys will never be alone. Everyone that knows about McKenzie will be there too...in spirit and in prayers. I pray that God gives you strength, courage and wisdom. God Bless You!

I have been praying for McKenzie as well as you and your whole family. My heart really goes out to Kiley and McKenzie. You see, I have a twin sister and the best gift God ever gave me was a twin and I want Kiley and McKenzie to grow up together and know how precious and blessed they are to have been created as twins. I am a Christian and when I read on your website that McKenzie had relapsed, I told my twin (Cheryl) to pray for her as well. And she is. And yes, God does indeed perform miracles! You are truly an inspiration and a witness for the Lord by your website. I am praying that McKenzie's little body is rid of this disease and she and Kiley have a wonderful life and twinship together growing up. God is good!!!!!!!! Psalm 66:19 says it all - "God has surely listened and heard my voice in prayer."

It is so hard for us to believe That this wonderful little girl has to go through this all over again. As far as most of us thought, Everything was better and she would enjoy her life with her twin sister. As we all received the news Many of us cried, It is so hard to try and understand why these things happen, I hope that we can all trust in the Lord to help her through this to lay his hands on her to heal her! Please Pray for them! Words can not express the sorrow, and hurt we all feel, as this hits home to all of us. Pray for Steve and Carol I can only imagine how hard this is on them.

Hi Carol and Steve. I just wanted to let you know that there are so many prayers going up for your little angel right now. On my lunch break, I went to all of our area churches and gave them a letter that I typed asking them to put McKenzie on their prayer lists. I gave them a quick run down of all that you guys have been through and also gave them the website address. God has looked down on you so much and he is not going to stop now. I wish I could say something to make you feel better, but I am not sure there are words to do that. Just know that we are praying nonstop for all of your family, especially McKenzie.

I have been crying over you all for days now. I am just burdened sooo much with this news. I read something that I want to share with you - It said that whena child relapses, it DOESN'T mean the child will NEVER be cured and there is no hope. It says there are many, many children who only relapse once and after the second go round and much more intense treatment, these children are CURED! I CLAIM this for McKenzie! Keep your faith in God Carol! Believe with all your heart in the end of this horrible nightmare, she is whole, healed and CURED! The healing might not be fully manifested yet, but it will happen! Your family has our families heart right now as we lift you all up in prayer and at church Sunday, I gave McKenzie's name to be prayed for on a continuous basis. I love you all more than you know! Call me anytime, any hour! Much love, Christy Lillig www.caringbridge.org/ga/ashleylillig

I am broken hearted to hear your terrible news. It is a terrifying situation that I prayed none of us would ever go through. We will keep McKenzie in our prayers, but I will also keep all of the rest of you just as strongly in our prayers. During our last phone conversation we talked about how we would do it again, and I wish we would never have to find the strength, but I know that God will grant all of you the Divine Grace to carry on and get through this trial.

Dear Carol and Family,
I'm so sadddened to hear of your precious daughters relapse. I read your post on our rhabdo-kids list, and I am stunned. I wanted to come and visit her website, and see her beautiful face. Please know that prayers are coming your way for an effective treatment, and for your strength as you get back in the ring for the fight!

Dear Carol and Steve,
To say that I am saddened by this news would be the understatement of the year. As I said in my personal email to you both my prayers have doubled and tripled, and I will tell everyone I know to immediately put precious McKenzie at the top of their prayer list. Please if there is anything I can do for your family, do not hesitate to contact me. As always I send my love, prayers and hugs from Houston.

I am terribly sad to read that McKenzie has had a relapse. Although there are no words that can help all the pain you are all feeling, please know you are all in my thoughts and prayers. One thing I know is that if prayers are all it takes to cure McKenzie, I know she will be healed many times over. I wil continue to pray for her and for you all.

Hi, McKenzie and Family,
I am Catie's (medulloblastoma) "Nana." I've been hearing about you and your family from Catie's mother, Jenny.
There are no words to describe this cancer rollercoaster we are all on, especially when you hit those sharp drops to the bottom. There are few, if any, satisfying answers to the hard questions you face. And there is nothing you want more than something so many take for granted, a healthy child.
The older I get, the fewer answers I seem to find. But Catie has reminded me of some things and taught me some new things in her short life: Joy can be found in the smallest things; So many things are more interesting than ever when seen through a child's new eyes; Friends are very important; I don't know how prayers help even when they seemingly go unanswered, but they do; I don't know how to do what I've raised my own daughter to do; And while I once wanted to save the world, all I want to do now is make a little girl smile.
So, for what it's worth, please know you are not alone in your hatred of your child's suffering, in your prayers for her complete healing, and in your search for the strength to face the next day.
Much love to you all!
Nana <njcarrol@highstream.net>

Steve and Carol,
I just heard about the relapse....My stomach and heart aches for you! I do know that God is in CONTROL and just as He has carried you through this far ...HE will continue to carry you.
McKenzie is such a sweet and precious little one. I enjoyed seeing her at Chandler's splash party. She, Logan, and Kylie were having such a good time. Wayne, Ivy and I loved watching them all eat the cake and cheetos. There's something about those two things that children and adults just have to have.
All of you will be in our prayers as you face this next part of the journey. BE strong my friends! We love you!

Hi Carol!

I still think of and pray for your family so often. I will being saying special prayers for upcoming scans as I know the anxiety they can bring. I am so glad things are going well! The picture of McKenzie at the pool is great! Her hair!!!!!! Poor Catie will have to wear tons of ridiculous bows the day her hair finally gets to start growing!

Wish we lived closer to you guys so we could see you all and the Booths!!! Please take care and DO stay in touch! Waiting to hear GREAT results on the June 4th scans.

Still praying for our girls,

Dear McKenzie and Family,

I will continue to pray for you as you grow and enjoy normalcy. I always wonder why things like this happen to good people and especially to children. I believe firmly in Romans 8:28, but I guess the analytical side of me just wants to know what the good is and I want to know it immediately. I can tell you one good thing that your struggle has done for me. You have taught me to rethink my priorities and to focus on the really important things. You have also helped me to learn not to wish my life away-but to cherish each day. I have been amazed as I watched each of you through this struggle. You are an incredibly strong family, and I suspect you will never fully know the impact you have on others around you. I am excited to see what God has in store for you as your grow.

I will never forget the first day I found McKenzie's site. As I read your words I felt like you were reaching into my brain and pulling out my very own thoughts. You worded things much more eloquently than I could, but I felt that someone finally understood where I was and how I felt. I have since learned that there are far too many moms and dads who know how I feel.

I am so proud of the brave road that you, McKenzie, and your entire family have walked. I know that it has been paved with prayer and will continue to be. I know that the fear will probably linger for a while, and that normal childhood symptoms will probably never be exactly NORMAL for you when they pop up in McKenzie. However, how wonderful to live with a little bit of a nagging worry. Someone on a similar journey once told me they prayed they always lived with the fear of relapse.

I pray for health and happiness for your family. I pray for a long, cancer-free life for each member of your family. I pray that McKenzie continues to be a living testimony of the power of prayer. I pray you will peek through the window as she begins her first day of kindergarten, laugh with her and Kylie (and all the others) at slumber parties, that you won't have a heart attack teaching her to drive, that you will throw a huge graduation party for the 2 of them in 18 years, that you will wipe away the tears as your hubby walks her down the aisle and when you see her holding her newborn child. Praying for PEACE for you and happiness, health, and joy for you all.

Do stay in touch.

Continuing to pray for our girls,
Jenny Wilkins

HAVE MOMMIE SING THAT SONG TO YOU, ESPECIALLY THE PART ABOUT 'HE'S GOT THE LITTLE BITTY BABY, IN HIS HANDS, THE LITTLE BITTY BABY, IN HIS HANDS, HE'S GOT THE LITTLE BITTY BABY, IN HIS HANDS, HE'S GOT THE WHOLE WORLD IN HIS HANDS.'

McKenzie,
Your journey has been one that has brought so many people closer to God. We have prayed for your healing, prayed for strength for your family and most of all for God's will. We serve a wonderful Savior who brings joy in the midst of sadness. You are one fortunate little girl to have a Mom and Dad who pray for you. Both of them have an enormous amount of courage to be able to face all of the surgeries, treatments, and various other things along the way. They did that through faith. You have one AMAZING family. All of your brothers and sisters are so lucky to have you so that they can see one of God's miracles first hand. Keep smiling little one! God has big plans for your life. We love you and your sweet family!

Carol, I really enjoyed our phone conversation the other day. I didn't realize how much I needed to talk to someone who knows exactly the feelings that I have and who can understand what we are going through. We will continue to keep McKenzie in our prayers. I look forward to getting our little ones (although they aren't so little any more) together one day and look forward to meeting you in person. I pray that they both keep fighting the good fight and stay free from cancer. I want us to keep in touch through the years and I am sure we can continue to provide support to each other from our shared experiences.

Carol,
I just can not explain how close I feel to you, McKenzie, Steve, Kylie, Logan, Rachel, and of course Tyler! You are so special to me. I can (and do ) go weeks without speaking with one another, but I know I can pick up that phone and you will gladly give me your full attention for as long as I need you. I sincerely hope that I have possibly helped you through a "rough " spot or just made you laugh instead of cry.

Your knowledge, your level head, your sweet loving, Christian spirit are all gifts to others from God. I wish I could make McKenzie understand what you have gone through for her...but I guess maybe one day she will be old enough to understand. It is my most sincere hope that she tires of hearing how adorable she was when she was sick. I hope she is a crazy teen ager, a college gal, and a beautiful bride one day and doesn't have to worry about a fever or a scan or any of that "hospital stuff." I hope her biggest problem is fighting with Kylie over who gets to drive this time or who "borrowed" a favorite outfit or something normal like that.

Carol, it seems sad for you to close this site...but happy in a way too. I hope it signals the end of a long arduous journey with a gloriously happy ending. I hope you will continue to be a part of our site (and Life) as we still struggle with the cancer beast. I hope one day to close our site for the same reason. You have suppied hope for so many.

Your words at church the other night were, as always, so perfect. I'm glad we both were included in the program. I don't know if I'd told you that. Thanks again for your words here and for your words specifically for me.

Maybe one day we can write that book and give all the proceeds to Cancer research. I can dream.

In His grip,
Kim

McKenzie,
I want you to know how much your journey has touched my life and what a lucky little girl you are to have such strong, loving, caring parents who would do anything to insure your safety and return to health. The road you've been on has been no doubt difficult (most assuredly due to your age much harder on your parents) but you can see your resiliency in your smile. If I didn't already know, your ordeal has shown me what is truly important in life. Children and Living life to the fullest everyday. Also, because of your illness I have reconnected with your Mother; someone who has always been precious to me but "life" got in the way and we drifted apart-at least I thought we did. Little did I know our friendship was just as strong as it was 20 years ago--stronger. These are just a few of the things you have brought to this world to people you don't even know. God truly has a plan for you little one. May he continue to bless you and your family everyday.

Happy Easter Flemings!
I was hoping to see those exact pictures when I came to the site tonight, Mckenzie and Kylie in their girlie gorgeous Easter dresses, hunting for candy and happy as clams. So happy that the darkness in your lives has been replaced by peace, happiness and bathtub splashing. McKenzie looks so great and bigger in just these past few weeks since we saw her in Massachusetts.
We are so very happy for the Fleming Family. We have been moved by the strength of your baby, the strength of your marriage, the strength of your family and the strength of your faith.
We look forward to spending time with you all now that we will be spending more time down south - so happy Maggie and Melissa will be able to play with Logan, McKenzie and Kylie.
We love you. WE MISS YOU!!!!!!!

Dear Carol,
My grand-daughter, Madeline Grace Maxey, was diagnosed with two undifferenciated sarcomas, stage 4, by Dr. George at Childrens Hosp of Atlanta, in Dec of this past year. She was 4.5 months old, (very close to McKenzie at diagnosis) Somehow, my son-in-law Kirk found your site. I've read it daily and cried and laughed and went thru your "journey" with you. We are still in our journey and do not know the ending and have had some serious problems along the way. Madeline is/was stage 4 with distant metasatis(sp?) Your faith shows so clearly thru your writing. Your fears are our fears, your and McKenzie's situation so similiar. Thank you so much for the time you have spent sharing with us all. Just a note: At first, they thought Maddy had rabdomyosarcoma, but it ended up two undifferciated, main one in the bladder is still a problem, secondary one on spine is not gone/(not showing on scans). Sincerely love and best wishes to your entire family from the Maxey's and the Brimers.

Dear Fleming Family, Nothing that I can say will ever compare to scripture, and I often turn to 2 Corinthians 12:9 where our Lord tells Paul, "My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness." Up to this point it seems you have done a great job leaning on God because you have weathered many storms I am sure.

We lost our 3 year old son Joshua in August '03 but we have been so blessed by the comfort of Jesus, I am amazed at how he has carried us and continues to bring joy to our lives.

So keep pressing into the Lord, praise Him in the good and bad. My prayer is that our Lord will grant your hearts desire for your sweet daughter McKenzie and bless her with a long and abundant life .

2 Cor. 1:2-4
Grace be to you and peace from God our Father, and from the Lord Jesus Christ. Blessed be God, even the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies, and the God of all comfort; Who comforteth us in all our tribulation, that we may be able to comfort them which are in any trouble, by the comfort wherewith we ourselves are comforted of God.

McKenzie, you don't know me, and I only know you from what I've read about you as a baby. I know that your family is amazing, full of people who love you and your siblings more than you can imagine. Your story and the stories of so many other children have touched my life. My husband and I are going to have a baby in November. There's a little part of me that wonders if we'll ever have to face with our child what your parents faced with you. I certainly hope not. If we do, though, I pray that we'll show the same grit, grace, and determination that you and your family have shown through all of this. Best wishes to you for an abundant life, lived to the fullest!

Hey McKenzie, this is your favorite Aunt Alice----you have not met me at this point (shame on me!), but by the time you read this journal, you will have met me and will see why I am your favorite Aunt!!!. I don't know you and your twin sister very well (just what your mom tells me), but I feel so much love for you sweethearts by looking at all the pictures I get to see. McKenzie, it is amazing to me how much you smiled after going through all the treatments and side effects. You are one example of God's blessings. I know you will have a wonderful life. You have wonderful and fantastic and loving parents. Your mom knows how much I love her. God is with you always. I love you and can't wait to see you and Kylie. Aunt Alice

Well you said to leave a joke (I am not to good at those), words of wisdom (now you know I am never short for words but words of wisdom? we might be in trouble there!) But on a serious note, the Fleming family has been such a blessing to me and to my family since our first lunch together after church one Sunday afternoon. Who knew then that Olivia and Logan would "get hitched" or that Alexa and Rachel would become such good friends (on and off the court. Even with me trying to sabotage Rachel's basketball tryouts by knocking down her goal.) And who could forget Tyler always willing to help and always including Harrison.And little Kylie. Bless her heart. From day one we should have known she was going to be a little trooper. I can't wait to tell her about Rhonda and I keeping her yall's first night in the hospital . Trying to get her to the room, bathing her, feeding her, etc. And oh who could forget me and Rhonda trying to take her shopping the next day before we headed home. Anyone who was watching us would have never guessed we each had 3 kids. I have a feeling someone must have told yall about that because yall only called me in times of desperation to keep her from then on. Hey, but we had fun strolling in our house aaaaallllllll afternoon eating cheerios from Olivia. Carol and Steve what a wonderful example the both of you are for fellow Christians. Your faith has brought you this far and will continue to carry you through. McKenzie, I pray that you will have a wonderful childhood, terrific teenage years(drive your parents crazy) and many happy adult years. I look forward to seeing you begin your walk with Jesus and watching your relationship with him grow. May God continue to bless the Fleming family and may one day (hopefully soon) will each of you think of Georgia preferably Moultrie your home. Texas is a long way to come for Thanksgiving at the Isaacs. I love each and every one of you. DeAnna

My Dearest, Sweetest McKenzie Elizabeth:
Let me begin by telling you that although this is my first entry, it in no way portrays the depth of my love, concern, anguish, or hope for your health and recovery. The fact is, that your Aunt Patti has lazily preferred calling daily and keeping in touch with your mom concerning everything about you. And I am ashamed...look what I've missed. I came to this website today because your mom told me she was soon to begin the process of closing this journal. I had visited it early on after your illness was diagnosed. It was extremely overwhelming to read because although I talked to your mom daily, to read her feelings was another thing altogether. But I am so glad I have taken the time to read it all. It showed me a side of her I didn't hear in our daily talks and I'm so impressed with the depth in which she expresses her thoughts and feelings. As you read this now you must see as I know how incredibly strong your mom is and how much of a fighter you were from the very beginning. But this journal is also proof of the power of prayer. Truly unbelieveable how many people have prayed for you. May God bless all of them and their loved ones. I have had the luxury of seeing you the past two summers and am so amazed at God's creation in you. You are loved beyond description by myself and people who have never even met you but, by God's work alone, they care and pray for you. That alone strenghtens my faith how great his love is. I have seen God's love through your mom and dad too. It comes through in every entry your mom has made. Always trust and know how powerful God's love is and how much he loves YOU! I am forever thankful to God for you, your mom and dad, and of course Kylie, Logan, Rachael and Tyler. You are the sweetest little girl and I love you with all my heart and soul. My love forever, Aunt Patti.

Carol,
Forgive me for just now making this entry. As you know, I know.....that we each know each other's thoughts. (still with me?) However, I admire you sooooo much for the strength you have shown. I don't think you knew that. You totally amaze me. I was in denial for so long that something like this was happening to you and steve (and of course McKenzie). Knowing all your fears, I don't know how you did it day in and day out... I could barely deal with my own fears for you, much less imagine how you got through each day. I just praise God and thank him for giving you the strength, determination, and the comfort when you needed it. It's obvious how many friends you have through this website. How wonderful!! I admire you for the woman, mom, wife, sister and friend that you are. Especially the sister and friend part. You are my homey-girl and I'm the luckiest person in the world because of it. I love you more!!!!! Patti

Dear Fleming's,
I see from the pictures that Easter was a special time for all. Praise God! I looked back in the guestbook and saw that it has been one year and 3 days since I "adopted" precious McKenzie. I have told McKenzie's story to so many people and they in turn have added her to their prayer lists. Prayer is so powerful as you know so well. Even when this site is taken down, McKenzie and your whole family will always be in my prayers, she will always remain in my heart. I have called her "my baby" so often that sometimes I forget that she isn't. I have loved her and prayed for her through cyber-space and will always continue to do so. Carol, you have taught me so much about faith, and as I've said, for that I will be eternally grateful. The impact you as a Mom, have had on my life is immeasurable. I hope to always stay in touch with your family, as I will forever love precious McKenzie.
As always I send my love, prayers and hugs from Houston.

From reading your entries that your mom wrote, everyone can tell what a wonderful family you have. I pray for you and your family! Be strong, BELIEVE and God Bless You all!!

Hello Mckenzie and Family,
My name is Jenna and I came across your website. Mckenzie, is adoreable and a very sweet little girl. She is also very beautiful and cute too. I can tell that she enjoyed taking her bath. She has sure gone through a lot at a very young age, yet I can tell that she is very happy and a very strong and brave little girl. She has a great smile, that shines. She is sure a real Fighter, Warrior, and inspiration in life. Mckenzie and your family are in my prayers.
Hugs Mckenzie.

We met your family in the radiology dept when Mitchell was inpatient and McKenzie was hours from being diagnosed with cancer. I praise God for McKenzie's health and will continue to pray for a long, blooming life ahead. I would love to hear from you.

Carol,

I was so pleased to hear that McKenzie's scans were clear. It brought back so many memories of my boys' first year when we didn't know how they would develop physically or mentally. The doctors gave us such a bleak prognosis that I just couldn't accept it. However, in the back of my mind I knew that most babies walk around their first b-day, and my little guys weren't sitting unsupported on their birthday. God gave me a peace about it though, and let me know that whatever happened, it would be to His glory and He would give us whatever we needed to raise these little guys to honor Him with their lives. One scripture that I held onto dearly was I Corinthians 2:5 "That your faith should not stand in the wisdom of men (i.e. doctors), but in the power of God." I am claiming this promise for McKenzie too.

Needless to say, God came through in a mighty way so that there is NO DOUBT who healed my babies. They started walking on their 2nd b-day and have been running me ragged ever since. The day one of them came home from the hospital, the MRI report said that he was "mentally retarded". I put that in quotes because that is an awful expression that I would never use. Once again, the wisdom of men could not stand up to the power of God. Their progress academically has overwhelmed me. They are both reading at a 5th grade level in 2nd grade. In a couple of years, I expect that I will no longer be able to help them with homework because they will be so much smarter than me. GOD IS SOOOO GOOD. I know He will be good to you too. You are still in my prayers.

Your journals are always so thought provoking for me, and you continue to amaze me with your strength and insightfulness. "Normal" changes from day to day, even minute to minute and everyone's version of normal is different and as long as it works for them...all is well.

Oh Carol!
I am rejoicing that Makenzie has finally taken her first bath and loved it so much. I am rejoicing that you can write from the heart and share so much of your faith with so many! God is so good! Praise Him for leading you and your family through this journey! I am so blessed to know you in person and know that you are a true woman of faith. Our Savior has put you into the pathway of so many people. I pray that each person who has read, is reading or will read about MaKenzie is blessed just knowing that there is a Mother like you out there giving her child completely to the Lord. There are many just like you, but you and Kim are my closest link to the outstanding faith that God can give to a Mother. Thank you for sharing your journey with me and others. I pray that God will richy bless you as you seek to do His will.
I love you!

I am reading your latest entry as I watch Maggie and Melissa taking a bath together. So happy that McKenzie will now be able to fight with Kylie over all the bath toys as these two do :-) That must have been the best, watching her face as she got to take a tub for the first time. Bet she stayed in until she was a prune!
As time goes on, I am sure your fears will fade, to just a tiny little boogey monster that only comes out on very dark nights - then you can step on him.
You must feel so elated to not have to go through treatment any more - and yet, during treatment you were actively fighting this cancer every week. Now that the treatment is over, I can see where you would feel odd not fighting it anymore. Thank God it has been taken away and will NOT return! You all should feel like prize fighters, entitled to a long, happy, healthy retirement!

Love you all -
Happy Valentine's Day!

Carol,
The pictures are precious! Look at that beautiful dark hair growing in on that sweet little head!! I was putting Catie in the tub tonight and wondered if McK had gotten her first REAL bath. I'm so glad to see that she has and that she enjoyed it. I know you were glad to see both of those baby girls in the tub together.
What is it about those nighttime fears? I know what you mean even though we're still on treatment. My imagination can really take fear and worry and run with it at night. I just keep having to give it ALL back to God. I don't always leave it there like I should. So when I take things back into my own grimey little hands, I have to pray and give it to the only One who can really handle it. We're going to keep praying for McK and your family. I'll pray for those worries and fears to quickly become less intense. I, like you, wonder if I'll ever totally be rid of the worry.
We are SOOOOOOOO happy for you!!!!!! What a fighter little McK is. She, and all of you, have earned some well deserved "normal" time. Enjoy every minute!

look forward to. I'll continue to pray for McKenzie and you all. Please know that even though I've not signed your guestbook every time that I have visited, I have been so blessed by reading your journals. Your strong Faith in God has taught me so much. You are truly an inspiration. It's not for us to try to understand why bad things happen to precious children and adults but God always has a plan. I know that God has got to be greatly pleased and proud of you. I think that One good thing out of all of this is that you've witnessed to so many people by sharing your thoughts and fears with us. You and McKenzie have touched so many lives. Thank you for sharing your journey and strong faith in God with me.

Hot Dang and Hallaleuah!!!!!! Go McKenzie go!!! I am absolutely thrilled to hear that your family will soon be reunited!!!! I celebrate with you that treatment is now over. Does it seem real yet? Do you keep pinching yourself? You have been an inspiration to so many....me included! Give McK a big hug from Chandler. He told me to tell her "Congratulations!" Ha Ha

Celebrate, celebrate that you have done all that is humanly known to keep this cancer away and that now it is up to our heavenly father to keep a careful watch over her. Heck, it was always Him getting it done anyway, wasn't it?

I love you and the whole darn bunch!!Woooowooooowooo!!!

Words cannot express the sheer happiness I'm feeling for you and your family today. I've religiously checked this site for updates and always had a tightening in my stomach and a sense of dread but today, I like you, breathed a big sigh of relief and said a prayer of Thanksgiving. You've showed such strength and faith--and have shown me what is really important in life. I love you and can't wait to celebrate with you.

Carol,
I read your entry today with tears in my eyes. I am so happy for all of you and so thankful for God's faithfullness in every detail of our lives. All of your journal entries were so eloquently written. You can express your feelings so well and say exactly what is on your heart. Your journal will be a treasure for MacKenzie when she is older. Have a joyous day with your family. You are truly blessed.

Love, Tymi

What a glorious day..... I am so happy for you Carol - your sweet little McKenzie will be back home in a matter of hours!

Though we spent little time together, you will be forever in my thoughts. McKenzie is such a sweetie pie and I thank you (and her) for letting us come to Brookline to meet y'all. Your strength and faith has affected others more than you might ever possibly know.

Last Day! We saw Steve and mcKenzie yesterday and took them on a trip to Cape Cod. They were both in high spirits (and Steve says they have both gained 1.5 pounds since he's been here :-)) It was so fun to see them - we miss you ALL so much! They were so excited to be going home to be whole and healthy again! We will keep you all in our prayers - and look forward to McKenzie's one year check up in Boston! Love You!

Hi Carol,
We still check on you guys and pray for you daily. I am so happy that the end of treatment is here and that the removal of McKenzie's line is just around the corner!!! Catie had a PICC line for 7 weeks and I remember how glad I was to be able to give her a real bath then. I can't imagine what it will be like to see McKenzie in that tub!!!!!!!! Take tons of pictures.
We will still be praying for McKenzie. I would imagine that the end of treatment is both thrilling and a little scary. We will pray that the treatments have done their job and that cancer cells will never again grow in McKenzie's sweet little body.
Love,
Jenny

Wow! McKenzie, the trendsetter!!!! Isn't she amazing and barely a year old? I can not explain how excited I am for you guys! Imagine it...Mackenzie in her little bathing suit getting all tan in the pool this summer! Praise God! It is amazing what we take for granted...a simple bath. I hope we will be joining you in "line freedom" in April sometime. More than that I pray neither of them never ever ever ever has to have another one put in.

Carol, I love and appreciate you so very much. Your knowledge has helped me when I needed it so desperately....remember our first night at home with that home health nurse and the double dose of "G"? It was like an episode of I LOve Lucy, except it wasn't funny to me at all. Looking back, it seems pretty humourous now, though. One of my prayers is that we always stay linked because of our similar road that we've traveled but more so because we love each other as friends. I pray in earnest that all of this will be far away memory for us both. I pray as you do that God will continue to use this as a teaching tool and that we get what He wants us to gain from it.

Again, I celebrate with you for this end of treatment and line removal !

Hey Carol,
I missed you at church last night and after reading your entry I know that you were probably cleaning up after an incident with Kylie...poor girl and poor Mom. That is not a pleasant time!! I pray that the last few of McKenzie's treatments are smooth sailing and that soon all of your family is back under Mom AND Dad's safe wings at HOME.
Just know that we think of you often and pray constantly for your family and the Booths. We love all of you!

Hi Carol and Steve -
I really enjoyed your most recent jounal entry Carol. Thank you so much for all the time you have devoted to this page for McKenzie - and for US - over the past year. I am sure it has not been easy, recording all these details but it really has been a wonderful way to keep up with you "Flemin's" and follow McKenzie's journey. It has been a long road - one that is so close to an end! McKenzie is such a special girl - she is as lucky to have you as you are to have her :-)
And it is even more obvious today that God is with McKenzie while she is in Boston - she must have been a good luck charm for the Patriots!!!!!
Glad to her she and Steve are doing well - and SO happy to hear that her treatment is now in the a.m. - Praise God! Love you all!

I will pray for each of them with that in mind. How blessed we mothers are to have the honor of raising one/many of God's miracles. Thank you for sharing from your heart. My prayer is that you and your family will be eternally blessed by the ONE whom you have trusted and been faithful to the end.
God Bless ALL of you!

Hi Steve and Carol,
I am so sorry that McKenzie has had such a tough time last week. I loved getting to talk to you both Sunday night. Carol, I know it was hard leaving McKenzie, but I know she certainly is in good hands with Steve. By the time she comes home from Boston, she will be such a "Daddy's Girl!" They will have really bonded during these 2 weeks! Carol, I apperciate your words of wisdom and encouragement. They are really a comfort to me, because you do know what we are going through. I am so excited for you that your journey through chemo and radiation have almost drawn to a close. I will be ready to celebrate those milestones...one year...two years...three years...and beyond being cancer free with you.

Gotta run. Just know how glad I am to call you guys my friends and know that we are "Praying You Through."

Love you!

Dear McKenzie,

This is the toughest time of your life. From reading these postings you are a fighter. My daughter also is sick she has Glioblastoma Multiform. I know you are too young to read these but I want to let you and your family know that we also are praying for a good recovery. If you would like to visit my Daughters page it is www.caringbridge.com/md/kara. She would love to see a post from you. I am sorry if I am intruding but I got the link from Jatin's page. We were in the hospital with them.

Thank you and God Bless,

Thank you for coming out with us today. We hope that our trip to the mall was a nice break in your stay.

You would never know what McKenzie is going through -- here she is drinking Sprite, throwing things off the table, bee-bopping her head to our bad singing, and letting us twinstuffers whisk her away for a few minutes to check out the mall. Go Mckenzie!

Peace and much love to a very special little girl.

Hey Carol and Mckenzie! I hope you are staying warm!! I have tried a bunch of times to call you but I guess I keep missing you. I saw Kylie today with Suzanne at the YMCA. She fits right in with the rest of the kids and has a ball! She looked very happy. I hope sweet Mckenzie is doing great. Steve said she was. He told me that you would be "passing" in the airport on the 25th. I hope you both have wonderful flights. Don't worry about the children here, we will do something fun to keep everyone busy. We love you and I hate I have not been able to talk to you. See you when get to sunny tropical Moultrie-HAHA! Love- Rhonda

Hey Carol,
I keep trying to call the number on the first screen. Is that at the Ronald? Hope you guys are staying warm and that rhabdo is getting the coldest shoulder ever...never to return to her little body!!!! I also hope you have gotten into a routine where she isn't afraid and just goes on to sleep everyday with no worries on her precious little mind. I know the worries never go away for you, though. You are a strong, strong woman, Carol. Hang in there!

South GA hugs to you both!

Week two is almost history! I hope the next few fly by. I have just one question for you. What the heck does 4 degrees feel like, anyway?!?!? I saw that on the news last night and immediately thought of you. It doesn't look like I'll be making it up there before you leave but I'll see you guys in Georgia soon. I don't want to miss the big "Yea! its over, we made it, she's well" Party. I think of you everyday. Try and stay warm and hold on--you are SOOOOOO close to the finish line.
Love you

Hi Carol,

I have gone to your site a couple of times this week, but just when I was about to write a message, we would have a crisis...."eat" or"OOOOOOWWWW" or I would hear something come crashing down. You know the drill. Anyway, I am so glad one week is over and the next is almost too! JM, Bets, Chandler, and I are all going to Atlanta for a check up tomorrow. It shouldn't be too big of a deal, they just like to lay eyes on him once a week. Jim Mac is keeping him at the garage Friday night so Betsy, Meme, Papa, and I can go to "The Fabulous Fox Theatre" to see "Annie." Betsy is very excited and I must say I am too. The Fox is always a neat place to go. We know all the songs too!

Give McKenzie big WARM South Georgia hugs from us. Call me if you get a chance and want to talk.

Miss you bunches,
Kim

Carol,
So glad you made it though the first week and that you are at RMH. I have been praying that you would find friends in Boston so you woudn't feel so alone while you are there. When I read your update and you mention people who are helping you, I know my prayers have been answered. God sends special people into our lives at just the time we need them. We sing a song in our church called "I'm So Glad I'm a Part of the Family of God." I hope the people you are meeting there feel like "family" to you. Please know that I still pray for you all during the day every day. Give MacKenzie a hug for me.

Hey woman! Guess what? You have sent some of that cold weather down here and I am not a happy camper! Hope yall are doing well. I hate to tell you this but yesterday's ballgame was the best yet. When i picked the girls up at school, Todd told me that Tifton was undefeated too. Boy did I get nervous. But as usually, the girls played great. And had fun doing it. Brad Mc, Laura Murphey and Weston came to warch along with a few more friends. Tonight they are at the movies but I'm sure you know that. Report cards go out Monday---but you did not here that from me. Kylie looked so sweet at the game, of course she would not come to me---imagine that. I think Rachel had fixed her hair that morning. Tyler looked handsome also! Well this week flew by for me, how 'bout you? Let me know if you need anything and I still believe you had something to do with this cold weather in Moultrie. Love, DeAnna

HAPPY NEW YEAR!! I have been thinking of you and your family a lot lately. I was in Big Spring the weekend before Christmas and wondered if your Mom still lived there. I hope that this year is filled with much joyful progress and less frustration/worries for you. You and your family have gone through so much and are such an incredible inspiration to those who have not faced anything as hard. You have touched so many!

Your Friend,

Dear Carol,
Thanks for your honesty in your entry today. Your most meaningful line was "nothing is ever as it should be." That's so true in this world. We have hopes and dreams, and many of them come true and are fulfilled in all their glory. Some, though, hit pothole after pothole and seem as though they must crumble and fade. It's so hard to be an imperfect human being at times like these. As you said, we want to lead and to do things our way and to make everything neat and tidy. For some reason, though, God has other plans about how to navigate this world, a world that at times offers our greatest joys and at others our darkest fears. I'm sorry you and your family are enduring this crisis. Please know that I will keep you in my prayers as you journey north and journey deeper into this trial. Hold on to hope and faith. Love is stronger than anything you will face. God bless you and all your family!

I pray hardest for McKenzie's healing and peace of mind for you and other members of your family. I'll be checking in often as you are in Boston. Is there an address where you can receive mail while you are there? If you can, post it on the website or e-mail it to me. Thanks.

Hi Carol. I just wanted to let you know that as I read your last entry, I thought to myself...My what a strong, admiring woman she is. I do check in on you guys quite often and today for some reason, I feel the need to tell you that even though we have never met, I look up to you. Not only as a person, but also as a Mommy, as a strong believer in God and the power of prayer. You do amaze me because I am not sure that I could handle all of the stuff that you have had to over the past year. Please know that everyday, we are sending McKenzie up in our prayers. (Especially when you guys will be up north) I will continue to check in to see how things are going so until then...God Bless You and Keep You and McKenzie Safe, Well, and Close to His Side.

Enjoyed my visit with you on New Years Day!! I thought McKenzie was so precious as she let me hold her for a long time- and little Miss Kylee seems to be expecting something is up- as she clung to you-- and what can I say about that energetic and cute Logan !! Santa was really good to him !! As time draws near for that flight north, all of us here at Trinity and in Moultrie lift your special family up in prayer-- we know God is in control and HE will look after all of you. I hope that time will fly by for you and we will all be enjoying getting together soon. God bless all of you tonight and have a good day tomorrow--- Love and hugs-- Mama Jane

Carol,
Just letting know you and your family are always in my prayers. You had a really hard year last year, but looking back I can see how the Lord has strengthened you and been with you every step of the way. Sometimes when I think back on my babies' first year and all the surgeries, doctor appointements, tests, therapy etc. etc. etc., I feel sad knowing how much they went though before their first b-day. Now I can see how it shaped their characters and made them incredibly tough, resilient, and happy-go-lucky little guys. God always has a plan. He is using this sickness to his glory and is shaping MacKenzie into just what he wants her to be. I'm so glad the Angel Network is going to be able to fly you to Boston. You will certainly be in my prayers in the days ahead. Hang in there.

Carol,
As I read your entry today I felt is if you were reading my own thoughts. As I was driving to town this morning to take Catie to the doctor I was thinking about "this time last year." I was thinking about how it seems so unfair for her, and all of our babies, to have to fight this horrible disease. I was wondering why it had to be MY baby, as I have often done, even though I have seen God use our battle, Catie's battle, against cancer. I was wondering what exactly I'm supposed to learn from all of this, though I've already learned so much. I was praying for nothing but complete healing for Catie and for McKenzie, and Chandler, and Jatin, and Elizabeth, and all of the other children we've met through this ordeal. Sometimes, actually often in the 3 months since Catie's diagnosis, the answers aren't readily available. I keep trying to lead, as you mentioned in your journal entry today. I need to just leave it in God's hands. I can put Catie's battle there, but sometimes it's hard to leave it. Anyway, thanks for openly sharing your thoughts and feelings. It helps the rest of us in similar situations to know that we're not alone in what we're feeling.

We will continue to pray daily for McKenzie's complete healing. We will pray daily for an easing of your fears and for strenghth for your entire family as you and McKenzie are in Boston. We will check in and leave messages frequently. I know what a difference that makes during those long days in the hospital.
Prayers for our girls,

Merry Christmas!
I am so glad that we were able to meet you and your family at the hospital last week (though, like you, I would have much preferred for our encounter to be at the mall or Chuck-E-Cheese). I'm glad that McKenzie had such a quick turnaround. That could have been record time for a visit to 3 North! I can't wait to see my pictures of all our girls. They were too cute. It is my prayer that all 4 are home, sleeping soundly, and waiting on Santa to visit. Goodness knows they deserve extra special visits from him. We will continue to pray daily for McKenzie and the rest of your beautiful family. May your holiday be filled with the love of Christ, His peace, His power, His healing.

Carol...I tell you what that sweet child is always up to something!! I'm so glad that you noticed her signs of not feeling well. I probably would not have been as observant as you. Hopefully by now you are in Moultrie and finally being able to catch your breath. I know you can't wait to get your hands on Kylie. Rest well and know that we are praying for no infections and good days ahead. Take care!
WE love you!

Even though I will not be near a computer, my thoughts and prayers will be with McKenzie (and her family) all week.

I know this holiday isn't shaping up too nicely for any of you. Thanks for taking the time to give updates. Many of us tend to get so caught up in life, and especially the holiday season, that we forget there are folks who are struggling through every day. I'm so sorry you and your family have to face this trial. It's not fair. But I do pray that your faith will hold--and your sanity! May God give you his peace, deep down inside. You're in the thoughts and prayers of many people!

Hi Carol,
Just checking in on you. I talked to Steve this morning at the Christmas party and he told me that you had a good flight and that the weather was better today. I hope it continues and that you get good news from the doctors.

Logan was so cute this morning and was having a good time. He is always so sweet. I was still there after Steve left and Mrs. Jan was taking extra good care of him. So don't worry, he will be in good hands.

You are in my prayers.

Wow you are SOOOO loved by so many people. I continue to pray for you little one, and for your family too, as you all enter this last chapter of treatment.
Carol...You are such an inspiration to so many people and even though you may not have wanted this "job" you perform it with so much love and compassion. I have no doubt that all your children will learn so much from your fine example of what a parent should be. I am always in awe of the strength you possess. Never doubt yourself.....God guides you every step of the way. You are a true testament of His love.

I am so glad to hear that you've gotten the official OK from Boston. We will be praying for your upcoming treatment there. I continue to pray daily for your family. I was glad to see that you were able to visit Catie's webpage. Lots of our friends have been clicking McKenzie's link there and are now praying for your family. We will be coming to Atlanta on Tues. the 16th for a kidney function test. Then we'll be admitted for chemo. Catie gets new drugs this time, so I have a feeling we'll still be there on Friday. It may take them a day or two to get us in on the hem/onc floor anyway. We would love to meet you guys, so if you have a chance, come by. We'll be praying for that last BIG treatment. I hope it is not too hard on McKenzie's body.
Take care,

Hey Carol and family!
Just wanted to drop a note your way to let you know that last Wednesday was so wonderful. Ivy had so much fun with Kylie and precious McKenzie. She fed them teacakes until I thought they would pop. As I watched the three of them interact I thought to myself how much you have on your plate with all that is coming up. Reading your journal entries makes all of the things that we are doing so trivial. We will be more than happy to help with anything. Ivy would enjoy the opportunity to play with all of the Fleming clan! Call us to keep any or all of them!! My prayer is that you will be able to enjoy this holiday without worrying about January. God is so very GOOD. Your family and the Booth family have taught all of us at Trinity about God's enduring love with your extreme faith and trust in HIM. Thanks for being such an inspiration to me!
I love you!

Carol and Clan,

I am thrilled for your news that proton beam radiation is now definately in your future. I share your anxiety and worries about well...everything. I know God is working in all this... I really do...just there is so much to think about and worry over. You express it so well in your entries.

I loved seeing the girls Wednesday night at supper and watching Logan, the little shepherd, rehearse for tonight's big performance at church! I'm sure they all looked adorable doing their parts.

Pave the way for us, sweetie. I'm so afraid they won't be able to understand me in Boston. You might have to come back to Boston with me after these transplants are done just to interpret!Ha Ha I don't think they speak "South Georgia" up there.

I am saying a prayer for all of your family tonight( like I do daily), but from one "cancer mommy" to another, I ask for a special peace for you. You are one amazing woman, Carol Fleming! I'm so glad to call you my friend. Try to get some real rest.

Sweet dreams,
Kim

Hi, from an ex-worrier to a present worrier. I used to worry about every little thing. Some minor, some not so minor. Then I found out that 3 of my grandchildren might be taken by their 'dad' to another state. He was not a good father and I knew if he got custody I would never see them again. We thought he might be able to get custody because he had some extremely rich relatives and could hire the best lawyers. We could not hire any. I could not handle this worry in any way, physically, mentally, emotionally, etc. I had no choice but to give it to God. (I didn't even take it back this time.) Needles to say all is well and the 'dad' has not attempted to contact them for about 2 years. I wish I could explain to you how to give your worries to God, but I can't. I worried for many years. Now I only get concerned if someone I care about ends up in ICU at the hospital. Life is so much better without all the worry. Like you said, God is in control. He will take care of your family and all the other problems. I will be praying for you and all your family. Hang in there and hang on to Jesus.

I check McKenzie's website daily, and have been for a long time now, but have never signed the guestbook. But, after reading your entry tonight I felt I needed to. McKenzie has been on our prayer list at church for several weeks. Although I do not know your family, I think of you all several times a day. I have a son who turned one last week, so learning about McKenzie (and Chandler) has really touched me. I admire your incredible faith. I will conitnue to pray for you as you begin this "next chapter".

To you and your precious family: My name is Kelley Land and I linked to you from Catie Wilkins' web page. Her mother Jenny was a teaching assistant in a freshman class I took at Mercer University. Jenny's younger sister was in a singing ministry with me. They are very special people. I'm honored to add you to my prayers and heartfelt thoughts. I check on several children and teens every day through this wonderful website ministry: Lydia, Jay, Raef, Connor, Brandon, Joshua, Mary, Stefanie, Christopher, Zach, and Sara, to name a few. They are all fighting for their lives, in one way or another. It's not fair. It will never be fair. And there will never be a good reason for children to suffer. Your entries are so expressive and telling of what you experience. Your struggles with faith move me. I'm sure you've been angry at God more than once in the past year. What a fallen world this is when little ones have to suffer! Still, somehow, rising out of the incredible darkness is a light. Your faith holds. What a testimony! Your children are gorgeous. My husband and I hope to start a family next year, and I can only humbly pray that should we have to endure what you endure, we will have the same grace and strength that you exhibit in each of your entries. Thank you for allowing strangers like me into your life. You and the others like you are the truest testimony to the existence and love of God that I have ever witnessed. You will be in my prayers!

I continue to think of your family often. I don't tell you very often but the hosptial bracelet on my arm is a constant reminder to remember you.

It's hard to believe that it's been about a year since we gathered in the chapel to pray for your healing. We contine to pray that God will use all these treatments as tools in His hands to bring healing to your body.

We love you all.

A Blessed and Happy Holiday season to Mackenzie and the whole family! I found this website from Twinstuff and I am so thrilled that your beautiful angel has done so well, and is such a brave inspiration to SO MANY people. If only she knew how many lives all over the country (world!) she has already touched in one year... From the time you announced your daughter was diagnosed to the Twinstuff "family" I have kept her and your family in my prayers. I will continue to pray that Mackenzie's recovery is full and soon, and that your family continues to give inspiration to so many others. God and His special angels above are looking down on Mackenzie and guiding her to a full recovery. Best of EVERYTHING to you and your family and especially when you get to New England early next year. I wish I were slightly closer to Boston to meet you!

I was glad to read that you all had a good Thanksgiving. I wanted you to know that I have prayed for McKenzie daily since finding her webpage on a link from Chandler's page. I read today that you will be in Atlanta on 12/19. We too will be there for our daughter Catie's next treatment. I am so thankful that it is your last treatment. I pray that she will do well with these last 2 and that things will go very well in Boston. Hopefully we will be able to meet you in Atlanta. We'll be on 3 North, not at the clinic, I'm not sure about your guys. Catie is only 2 days younger than McKenzie. It would be cute to see them meet each other. It is amazing how well these kids handle all of this. I was wondering if you would mind if I put a link to McKenzie's webpage on Catie's webpage. We have lots of great folks praying and I know they would pray for McKenzie too. Just e-mail me or post a message on Catie's page. http://home.bellsouth.net/p/PWP-catie
We will continue to pray faithfully for McKenzie's healing and we will check for updates on her progress.

Our best to you.

Your McKenzie is beautiful! I found your link while checking Chandler's webpage. Our daughter Catie is just 2 days younger than McKenzie. She was diagnosed w/ medulloblastoma on McKenzie's first birthday and had surgery to remove most of her tumor 2 days later on her 1st birthday. We can very much relate to your latest journal entry. You worded it much better than I ever could have, but I understood every feeling you wrote about. We are so much more thankful than we ever thought about being 2 months ago. We will add McKenzie to our prayer list and we will pray for her healing daily. It is so hard to understand why this happens to our little ones, but I know that God still hears and answers prayers. I hope that McKenzie is having a good week. We'll think of you as you go to Clinic tomorrow.
Take care,

"Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls. For my yoke [is] easy, and my burden is light."

I sit in the family room at Scottish bawling like a baby! Your post just says s o darn well what I feel so much of the time. We had a very yuckky day yesterday and well, I'm feeling very sorry for myself. I do wonder what God wants me to do with my experiences, but I feel sure He has a plan not to "hide His lamp under a rock" but He wants me to let His light shine and shine. I'm so sorry that McKenzie is having a harder time now with increased doses. You are so right that every day does bring new challenges, but also new blessings. I hope you feel God's protective hand today and have a peace like only our precious Lord can give. I pray that McKenzie feels good and enjoys playing today. I hope Kiley, Logan, Rachel , and Tyler also have good days too, for they are affected by this cancer monster too. Stay strong!

Hi...You are an inspiration and have been such a witness with your testimony in the journal entry I have just read. I cannot even imagine the despair of a mom holding her baby and watching the effects of chemo treatment. I am in awe of your strength and ability to raise above the hardship and turmoil to find the blessings coming from the situation. Yes, my family has seen its own trauma with my neice's injury from a car wreck 4 months ago. We, too, have been blessed with rekindled faith and a deeper appreciation for what we had often taken for granted. MaKenzie is a precious child and I know that God is controlling her destiny...and protecting her in His hands. She will be fine and faith bears the fruit as you so genuninely show....Worry is natural yet, it is pointless. MaKenzie is fortunate to have you as mom and with God's love and your care she will have such a strong testimony to share as she grows up. I will continue to pray, Mona Howard

Carol, YOU amaze me. I read your entry today and as the tears roll from my eyes, I think of the remarkable woman that you are and I've no doubt that in the future you will become an even more remarkable woman. I've mentioned before that YOU have brought me closer to God, so close that now I am once again reciting the rosary, using the rosary beads I was given when I made my Confirmation. (I was born and raised Catholic) I don't think demonination matters to God, and hopefully not to others either. I had drifted so far from God in the last 20 years, but feel HE has welcomed me back with HIS open arms. THANK YOU once again Carol. I pray every single day for you, Steve and your entire family, and most especially for precious lil McKenzie. So even in the hustle and bustle of the big world, there are those of us that are with you, at least in spirit and prayer, when you and McKenzie are in that little room.
As always I send my daily love, prayers and hugs from Houston.

I am praying that McKenzie's visit to Atlanta yesterday went well. I pray that she is not sick after receiving the treatment, and for the chemo to rid her body of the cancer cells. It has to heartbreaking for you Carol to see her feeling bad, but know in your heart that you are doing everything in your power to help her through this and with God's help she will soon be rid of this cancer monster. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family every single day, and I truly wish there was more I could do.
As always I send my daily love, prayers and hugs from Houston.

It was so good to see you all this evening in Walmart!!

Prayers for your safe trip to and from Atlanta and a good report for McKenzie. Just know you all are very special and we love you !! Mama Jane

Hi-I am praying for McKenzie and your whole family. I found your website through another family and think you have beautiful little girls!! I don't have children of my own but am an aunt to 2 girls and a boy whom I love with all my heart. Hopefully a little break from the treatments will help McKenzie gain some of her strength and energy back which will undoubtedly make you feel much better as well. Take care, and God Bless all of you!

Dear Carol and Steve and kids - I have been so busy just trying to finish school and work, but I wanted you to know that I think about you guys all the time. I am so sorry that you have to endure this very challengeing life - but I do know that it has served a greater purpose than you know. I can not tell you how much this web site touches my heart and every time I get upset with my kids over little things I have to remember how lucky we are to have our health. Carol you have taught me so much about the strength that can surround a family. I am a nurse as you know and I still learn from your personal experience everytime I read your words. You are one of the strongest moms I have ever known. You should be so proud. Thank you for being able to bare your soul and emotions to the world - you are helping others in so many different ways. keep on hugging that precious child of yours because remember : YOU ARE THE WIND BENEATH HER WINGS. We love you very much. Tell everyone we are praying for you and your wonderful family.

I feel so bad that McKenzie had such a bad experience this last treatment. Just remember that with all of the prayers that are going up, every thing will work out. I think it is absolutely amazing that complete strangers are praying for your family. I know I have told everyone I could possibly think of to visit this web page and to pray for the whole family. GOd Bless you and I will check in on you all later.

Carol...you have such a gift to be able to drive and deal with the "stuff"! You all inspire each of us to keep the faith and hope we all need just to get through each day, especially like the ones you are facing.

Ms. Carol, McKenzie and Family,

I cannot begin to tell you how my heart goes out to you guys. I have an 8yr old and a 15 month old. I have been keeping up with your posts since finding out about you and little Chandler on Sara Beth's site. Even though I don't post each time I look in on you, I see each and every update and am amazed at the miracles God is performing in your lives.

It just tore my heart out reading about McKenzie being so sick this time. I know that had to be so hard for you too! You just want to be sick for them and wish that you could take it all away.

You are constantly in my prayers, and even though we don't know each other, God is an awesome God and know's each and every one of us. May you find comfort in knowing that complete strangers are praying for your family!

THE ALPHABET PRAYER

Although things are not perfect
Because of trial or pain
Continue in thanksgiving
Do not begin to blame
Even when the times are hard
Fierce winds are bound to blow
God is forever able
Hold on to what you know
Imagine life without His love
J oy would cease to be
Keep thanking Him for all the things
Love imparts to thee
Move out of "Camp Complaining"
No weapon that is known
On earth can yield the power
Praise can do alone
Quit looking at the future
Redeem the time at hand
Start every day with worship
To "thank" is a command
Until we see Him coming
Victorious in the sky
We'll run the race with gratitude
X alting God most high
Y es, there'll be good times and yes some will be bad, but...
Zion waits in glory...where none are ever sad!

Oh Carol, I am SOOOOO sorry that lil McKenzie had to go through all of that, and you too. I can't even imagine what it was like for you to drive home with your baby being sick. I'm in tears after reading your entry. It's just so unfair that children have to go thru that to be cured. But I did chuckle quite a bit when I got to the end of your post, Rachel and Ty's comments were true to form for teenagers. I can hear them saying the words. Too funny! :-)))
My prayers will be for McKenzie to better tolerate any future treatments and of course for her to remain free from infection.
As always I send my daily love prayers and hugs from Houston.

Carol and Family,

It is very early in the morning. Chandler is still asleep in the PICU and I came to check Chandler's site. I felt a "pull" to write to McKenzie. I just want you all to feel the power I feel right now of God's wonderful grace. I know part of it is physical, just being so intensely worried for those 5 -6 hours that Chandler was away from us yesterday, but also knowing that God himself used Dr. Bleacher as his instrument to get that awful, wretched tumor off his aorta and out of his body. God is watching over our families, Carol. He just is and I just wanted to write that to you this morning. This proton beam stuff just has to be the right "divine-inspired" decision for you. It may be for us as well, I am still finding out what I can about what is left in Chandler's skull area. You are such an amazing family. God has and will continue to bless you. I'm so glad to call you all my friends.

PS Way to go Rachel!! Good luck to the "Ty -Man"!

Morning prayer,

This morning when I wakened
And saw the sun above,
I softly said, "Good morning, Lord,
Bless everyone I love."
And right away I thought of you
And said a loving prayer,
That He would bless you specially,
And keep you free from care.
I thought of all the happiness
A day could hold in store,
I wished it all for you because
No one deserves it more.

I hope all is well in the Fleming household today.
As always I send my daily love, prayers and hugs from Houston.

Hello All,
Congrats to Rachel for making the basketball team!! Way to go Rachel!! Congrats to Tyler too, I'm sure varsity wont be far behind for him. I'm glad to hear your Houston visit with your best friend went well even if it was a short visit. I'm praying very hard for McKenzie, and I've also told a number of my friends about her so they could add her to their prayer list also. When I show them her picture they all just fall in love with her and of course with Kylie too. A few of my co-workers are praying for her also since the girls pic is on my desk at work.

She of course will remain, as always, in my prayers to remain infection free. Thank you so much for the picture of my 2 favorite lil girls. I keep it on my desk at work, so there are now more people praying for McKenzie. I hope you don't mind, but I call her "my baby", and then tell them her story. She is just so precious.

Mass General is a terrific hospital as you already know since you worked there. Carol, you and Steve are wonderful parents....both of you would go to the ends of this earth to do whatever is necessary for your children. God knew what He was doing when he blessed you both with those children. You both are such an inspiration to me.

McKenzie: Here is an article I wrote about you and Chandler that appeared in The Moultrie Observer and is now posted on a national website: www.baptistethicsdaily.org. I continue to wear my hosptal bracelet. It gives me an opportunity to tell someone about you every week. We love you. Pastor Michael

COLUMN
Praying for a Cure

Michael Helms
09-23-03
I’ve been wearing a hospital bracelet on my arm for about two months. It’s a rather odd piece of jewelry. One of my friends put it on my arm at church before I could protest. “We are going to wear these until Chandler’s healed,” she said. I looked at the hospital bracelet and noticed the words stenciled in blue ink: “Remember to Pray for our Chandler Booth.”

Chandler is the 15-month-old son of Jim Mac and Kim Booth. He was diagnosed in July with neuroblastoma, a deadly cancer of the sympathetic nervous system. Doctors believe it begins while still in the womb. In all likelihood Chandler was born with this disease. It affects only about 600-700 babies each year.

Unfortunately, Chandler isn’t the only child in our church with cancer. McKenzie Fleming is the daughter of Carol and Steve Fleming and the twin sister of Kylie. The Flemings moved to our town from Texas when Farmland Beef opened. Steve is the plant manager.
The Flemings celebrate the twins’ first birthday Sept. 24. Four months after their birth, McKenzie was diagnosed with embryonal rhabdomyosarcoma, stage II. It is a malignant tumor arising in the muscle cells. She began chemotherapy in January, a 48-week process to be followed by weeks of radiation.

Cancer among children is rare. The American Cancer Society estimates there were 9,100 new cases of childhood cancer in 2002. Despite its rarity in children, it is still the chief cause of death by disease in children ages 1-14. One note of good news: the ACS reports that the mortality rates among children with cancer have declined 50 percent since 1973. This decline has come because of dedicated efforts to find a cure for cancer.

In May, the Fleming family led the first lap of the cancer walk for Relay for Life, an event designed to raise money for cancer research. Teams raise a minimum of $1,000 each. Many people set up tents and remain for the night, symbolizing that cancer comes into people’s lives with intent to stay.

I have thought about these children and their parents often since the days they were diagnosed. The bracelet I wear serves as a constant reminder that their lives have been forever changed because of cancer. I can take my bracelet off any time, but they cannot lay down the cancer just because they have grown weary of chemotherapy, IV’s, the trips to Atlanta, and a total reordering of their lives.

Thankfully, there are people working every day to find a cure for the cancers that invade our bodies. In addition to praying for those stricken with cancer, we need to pray for those searching for a cure. A cure brings added hope to all who will get the news they have cancer. This year the number of Americans that get cancer is likely be over a million, as it was last year.

In addition to looking to research--and to doctors and nurses who apply the knowledge to the patients they serve--Christians turn to God in prayer. We acknowledge that all healing comes from God. Doctors, nurses, medicines and other forms of treatment are tools in the hands of God.
We don’t understand why some are healed and some are not. We don’t understand why children must suffer at all. When an enemy strikes, there’s not much time to ponder why such an unfortunate thing has come into one’s life. All physical, emotional, and spiritual energies must be thrown into fighting the disease.

Kim Booth writes: “We are believers in God’s power over this wretched disease. He has made it possible for the doctors to find Chandler’s tumor and treat it with chemotherapy, surgery, bone-marrow transplant, radiation and other medications after that. All this should take about a year and a half to complete if he stays on schedule. Yes, the trips to Atlanta will be numerous. Yes, I have had to stop teaching to care for Chandler. Yes, we have to change the way we do a lot of things, but God is in control. He has given strength to Chandler; to Betsy, our 7-year-old; to Jim Mac and to me. There is no other explanation for how we have coped as well as we have so far.”

There is nothing good about cancer or any disease. But in the midst of such a devastating disease, much good can result. For Christians, the presence of any darkness in the world is an opportunity to allow the light of Christ to shine. If Christians do our job as Christ commanded, we become like a Motel 6 for those who are walking through the valley of the shadow of death--we keep the light on for them.

Happy Birthday to my beautiful girls!!

I cannot believe how fast this year has gone by. It seems like only yesterday that your mom and I were welcoming you to the world. On September 24, 2002, at 10:09 pm and 10:15 pm two of the most beautiful girls I had ever seen came into our life and you all have been a joy ever since. Watching you and your sister grow over the past year has been wonderful. Even though this first year has been extremely hard, all those tired feelings fade away when I walk in the door from work and see your beautiful smiling faces. Please know that there is nothing in the world that we would not do for you. We love you with all of our hearts and we hope you have a wonderful first birthday.

With all the love in the world for my daughters,
I LOVE YOU!!
Dad

P.S. I know what your presents are, so if you want to know I will tell you. (just kidding mom)

Happy 1st Birthday KYLIE & MCKENZIE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

We are hoping you have a wonderful 1st birthday today!! You are so very special to everyone, especially to your parents and GOD!! And you are all very special to my family!! We love you all!!

Carol and Steve - I know it doesn't seem like the girls should be celebrating their 1st birthdays today. It seems like yesterday I visited you, Carol, in the hospital and we were hoping you could carry the babies a little longer. And you definitely had a busy, emotional first year. But isn't it great how God is so Good! I know the Lord is watching over all of you and please know we are praying for his continued blessings on your family!! We love you all and hope you have a wonderful day with your Birthday Girls!!!!

Dear McKenzie and Kylie,

Carol,
You may think you could be a better Mom, but I think you're an AWESOME Mom!!! You have brought me closer to God and for that I'll be eternally grateful. You have made me realize what's important in life and to not take things for granted. I thank you so much for allowing me to take this journey with you and your family. You are a genuine and loving person. How could any child go wrong with a Mom like that.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY again to my two favorite lil girls!! :-)))

I got on the internet and started getting everyone I could think of to send up prayers for the family and most of all, for the girls. Now, tomorrow, they will be one year old. GOD IS SO GOOD!!! I wish all of you more happiness than you know what to do with. May God continue to bless your family and continue to heal McKenzie in such a remarkable way. Enjoy your birthday girls...and all the birthdays to come!

Hi! I have just found your website and I have already read every entry from the journal. I have been a member of the Hugs and Hope group for about a 1 1/2 yrs. Although, I have followed many children and have grown to love them all, I am amazed that you and your family were right here in Moultrie Ga and I hadn't found you until now. I am so glad to hear of your fun time at the beach and I wish the girls a wonderful 1st birthday tom. i know they are going to have a great time. I am glad that she is doing so well right now and I hope she continues to do so. I will add your beautiful daughter and the rest of your family to my prayer list and will be checking on you often. May God bless all of you. Hugs and Love,

Hello Little MCKenzie and family!! You don't know me, but I have heard all about you through my mother-in-law. She works at National Beef with Steve, her name is Jo Ann. I wanted to let you all know that ever since I found out about McKenzie's illness, I have sent up prayers for everyone in the family. I am excited to hear how well she is doing, as I know you are. The pictures from the beach are just as cute as they can be. I especially like the one with Steve, Logan and the girls. I agree, he did have his hands full!!! I have three little girls myself, and they are more than a hand full. They are three, two and three months...WHAT WAS I THINKING!!!!!!! Well, please remember that I am praying daily for all of you and especially McKenzie. I believe that all kids are gifts from God and I know that he will look out for them. God Bless You!

I have three grandchildren and one is named MacKenzie. I just want you to know I have added your McKenzie to my prayer list. The pictures of your children are beautiful and I pray God will give you the strength to get through it all and that your McKenzie will one day soon be free of cancer. May God bless your family.

It looks like you had an amazing time at the Lighthouse Retreat. I can't think of a more deserving family than you. I'm glad you were able to go.

Mary came last night. She is so sweet. I will keep in contact with her. Thanks for telling her about us.

I can't tell you how happy I am that the whole family enjoyed their seaside retreat. All the children look so precious in the pics taken at the beach, and Dad's smile is beaming with happiness. How proud you must be that Rachel and Tyler have expressed a desire to "give back" to help others at some point when they are able. They seem to be wise beyond their years.

Mckenzie and Family
I am an Aunt to Jacob Braden who is also there in Boston going through treatment. Jenny had asked that we all remember Mckenzie in prayer. I know just as our family has fears, I'm sure it is the same for you and yours. But I know fear is not of God so we as you say must lean unto the Lord for what we need. Psalm 29:11 Says The Lord will give strength unto his people; The Lord will bless his people with peace. And Psalm 34:4 says I sought the Lord, and he heard me, and delivered me from all my fears. May these words be of some comfort to you and your family. May the God of Heaven bless your precious little angel with renewed health and happiness. You will be in our prayers. with Gods Love.

Hi Fleming Family! So glad you guys had a great, restful time at the Lighthouse Retreat and are back home safe and sound again. I am so jealous that you have a holiday from chemo. I am so glad that Mckenzie continues to appear so healthy through all this awful chemotherapy. Isn't God amazing? It is our constant prayer that healing is happening daily inside her precious little body. My best friend has made a commitment to pray at every red light for us. If we could get DeAnna to do that too(she stays on the go)God would get a never ending string of prayers!!!Ha Ha Ha!

Seriously, the prayers are never ending for Mckenzie, and Chandler, and Sara Beth and all the wonderful sick people we've had the pleasure to meet up here. We've got to keep the faith and lift each other up and up and up;). God is still in the healing business.

We will start day 2 of 5 of this round of chemo this afternoon. We should be hearing about the bone marrow biopsy results tomorrow. We expect it to be cancer free and ripe for harvesting. If so, we will finish this chemo, come home, and wait for our counts to come back up and then check in at Egleston, hook up to the pheresis machine and start harvesting. They said since he is small, we might need to harvest for 2 or even 3 days. Hopefully, though, it could be completed in one. Then we start round 4 the next week. We will be having a scan then as well to check how much the tumor in his abdomen has shrunk. This will decide when the surgery takes place....after the 4th or after the 5th chemo.

I look forward to meeting the lady you met at the retreat. I hope she comes to see us this week. Thanks for telling her about us.

Gonna run!
Love you all so much,
Kim

Hi Carol,
Oh the joys of parenting!! It's good that we can find the humor in the situation "after" the fact. Nothing funny about it while we are in the midst of it. Wonderful to hear my "favorite lil girl" is doing well, and they will be turning a year old very soon now. My thoughts are constantly with your family, I pray for each and every one of you everyday. You all are so blessed to have each other, and through you I believe each one of us have been brought a little closer to God. I thank you for that.

Dear Carol and Steve,
It has been so good to see you and all your family at church lately - you look so great! I know the Lord is watching over all of you and I will be praying he will give you the peace and knowledge to know what to do next in McKenzie's treatment.
Hope you all have a good week and I know Logan will have a great first day of preschool in Mrs. Jan's class!!!

Dear Family:
Brandi Oglethorpe sent me the information on Mackenzie. I have added her to the prayer list at our church - St. Michael's Episcopal - and to a wonderful prayer group in my home town of Lubbock, TX. I am living proof of how prayer works for healing. I was diagnosed with chronic bronchial pneumonia at 22mo. I am now 49 years old, a mother of an 8 yr.old daughter, and a healthy and productive life. Bless you all and continue in faith and thanksgiving.

THANK YOU, GOD, FOR EVERYTHING!

Thank you, God, for everything—
the big things and the small,
For “every good gift comes from God”—
the giver of them all—
And all too often we accept
without any thanks or praise
The gifts God sends as blessings
each day in many ways,
And so at this ‘Thanksgiving’ time
we offer up a prayer
To thank You, God, for giving us
a lot more than our share…
First, thank You for the little things
that often come our way,
The things we take for granted
but don’t mention when we pray,
The unexpected courtesy,
the thoughtful, kindly deed,
A hand reached out to help us
in the time of sudden need…
Oh, make us more aware, dear God,
of little daily graces
That come to us with “sweet surprise”
from never-dreamed-of places—
Then, thank You for the “Miracles”
we are much too blind to see.
And give us new awareness
of our many gifts from Thee.

—Helen Steiner Rice

Good morning Fleming's!
Saw this poem on another Caring Bridge site and had to share it with ya'll. I found the words to be beautiful. I pray all is well with everyone, and that my "favorite lil girl" is doing great!

Hey cutie, how are you doing? I hope you all are enjoying your summer and growing stronger and stronger! Did I ever tell you we found some bunnies in our backyard recently. Actually, our dog did - the kids were in the pool and she was barking like crazy under the pool deck. Finally when we checked there was a bunny nest with a baby bunny in it. Then after more looking through it we found 2 more. So since I have 3 kids and there was 3 bunnies, they each named one. We left lettuce and water and carrots out there but it was never touched so we dont think the mom came back. About 2 days later we took them in to feed them and we had them a week, feeding them kitten milk from a kitten bottle or dropper. They were SO cute! They called them Jean, Robin and Nibbles. My son Gooch called his Jean, named after Jean Smart in XMen. They opened their eyes while we had them and by the end of the week we had them they were running all over, more running than hopping. My husband was convinced they were going to grow up and bite our fingers off, so we turned them over to a Childrens Museum that is a wildlife rehab center near us. I hope they are being taken care of, if they werent already released. I know the kids loved them and they really were cute!! That was our thrill for the summer – hope you are enjoying yours!

Hello Carol, McKenzie, and family ...
I am glad to hear that you can see "a glimmer of light at the end of the tunnel", and to hear that McKenzie is doing so well. We feel your hurt as you pass through these trials together, and we pray not only for McKenzie and Chandler to fully recover, but also that God would give each of you peace and calm in the midst of this storm. We have come to love Chandler during his last visit to Scottish Rite in Atlanta, and somehow I know that as McKenzie and Chandler grow up that they will become very good friends as they share their stories. We are praying for a full and complete recovery for both. Please know that God's strength is sufficient, and He will see you through this. By the way, McKenzie's picture is precious!
In His Love,
Richard Rogers (Sara Beth's dad)

Hello Fleming Family! Your latest entry is oh so very inspiring,Carol. You are such a strong ,strong Mom! You all did look so great at church last night! Tyler is so sweet to share his "winnings" with me. It was delicious! I am so glad that the glimmer of light at the end of your tunnel is growing brighter everyday. I tell myself all the time to remember the special parts of this journey so I will be able to tell Chandler about it when he is all grown and living a full and complete life of his own. Of course a big part of "the story" will include pretty little Mckenzie Fleming and her "success story" and how amazed that these two little fighters were friends and went to church together. I saw on TV this AM where two women had collaborated together to write a best-seller....maybe that can be us, Carol! Who knows? After this, I think, with God,I can do just about anything I set my mind to do. I am so sorry that you have had to endure this and I'm sorrythat our family has had to as well, but I am so glad to have you for support! The last couple of weeks have been scary, but you made it so much easier for me.
With "Will" and "Hope",

Hello from the Hawes"! It was so great to see the whole happy bunch together last weekend. McKenzie looked so happy and beautiful. Looking at her, no one would guess that she has had to battle so much at such a young age. God made that girl very strong and she he has big plans for her. I can't wait to see what they are. We have prayed for Tyler and Rachel this week and hope that their 1st week at school was a success. I enjoyed getting to know Rachel at kid's camp this summer. She is a beautiful girl. I look forward to getting to know Tyler in the years to come. God bless your BIG beautiful family!

~~Mckenzie and Family~~

Hi, I just found your link on precious Angel Luke Ervin's site. Our son also has rhabdo. He was originally diagnosed in Oct., 2001 at the age of six, went through numerous surgeries, a year of chemo, six weeks of radiation, and was declared in remission as of Sept., 2002. He relapsed with rhabdo in the same place in Feb, 2003. He had the tumor removed on May 23, and is seemingly doing well at this time. I just want you to know that we will be adding Mckenzie, and you, too, to our prayer list. Oh how unfair this all is, cancer really does SUCK, there is just no better word to describe it. Give McKenzie a hug from the Hunley's, and know that we will be checking in on her and her PROGRESS! Hang in there.....and if you ever need someone to talk to, I'm here!

Love, hugs, and prayers,

Hey guys, it was nice meeting you at the clinic last Friday and sharing drinks and snacks. McKenzie looked to be in great spirits which makes those long stays in the infusion room more tolerable. We sincerely hope things continue forward as they have so far for McKenzie and will keep her in our prayers. Maybe we'll see you less than more at the clinic in the future. Jake is hospital free since 5/30/03....and we plan to keep it that way!

Carol, Just wanted to say Hi and let you know that I have been thinking about you and your family a lot lately. I am amazed at little McKenzie’s progress, she is doing so well! Her body is really working with her to overcome this “intruder” – you can bet she will live her life as a fighter; nothing will be too hard for her (or you and your family after going through this). I am a firm believer that your experiences only make you a better person unless you let them get you down. You’ll are in my prayers and thoughts!

I have just read your latest entry and it was so interesting-- you write so well and explain things so that we can better understand. I feel like McKenzie will make it without radiation-- and that will be our prayer daily. We all are so concerned for the Booth family at this time. It just doesn't seem fair that two of our precious babies are going through such rough times. I wanted you to know that we are leaving Sat Moprning for 2 weeks at the beach. I am excited over getting away but also concerned with all that is going on. I feel like I will have some serious talks with God as I walk on the beach ! Please remember us in your prayers as we travel. Will be back in touch with you in August. I hope you all have a good 2 weeks!! Love YOU-- Mama Jane

It is only a tiny rosebud...
A flower of God's design,
But I cannot unfold the petals with these clumsy hands of mine.

The secret of unfolding flowers is not known to such as I...
The flower God opens so sweetly
In my hands would fade and die.

If I cannot unfold a rosebud,
This flower of God's design,
Then how can I think I have wisdom
To unfold this life of mine?

So I'll trust in Him for His leading
Each moment of every day.
And I'll look to Him for His guidance
Each step along the way.

For the pathway that lies before me,
My heavenly Father knows-
I'll trust Him to unfold the moments,
Just as He unfolds the rose.

I'm so happy that things are going well with McKenzie, and my prayers will be for that to continue. I will also add Rachel to my prayer list. I can't begin to imagine how trying this situation must be for your family, but if it helps please know that there are so many people praying for McKenzie and your whole family. I pray that God holds Rachel close and she will feel his never ending love for her. You are an amazing Mom and I am in awe of your strength and patience.

Carol, I wish I could hold you and let you vent. My son has leukemia and the anger and frustration and fear can overwhelm you. I wish you had a support group, its hard when family and friends mean well and want to help but dont understand all the medical mumbo jumbo that has become part of our daily lives. Please know you are not in this alone and your caringbridge family is here for you.

I'm so sorry you had such a hard time at the clinic and the cafeteria. That's an added stress that you don't need at all. But..on the bright side McKenzie's counts are all back up "YIPPEE!!" and it's almost summer and that gives you something to look forward to. Tyler and Rachel will be home and that is a wonderful thing. My prayers will continue for McKenzie to remain free from infection, and for ya'll to have safe travel to Atlanta.

Good afternoon, Sure was a long 4 days not being near a computer and not being able to check on McKenzie. I hope all is well with the Fleming family and that everyone had a pleasant Memorial Day weekend. I guess it is now the "official" start of summer. With the older children having the summer off I imagine that you'll get to spend a little more time with them and that's a good thing.

Good morning,
I can imagine that at times you feel you are being pulled and tugged in every direction at the same time, and I'll bet your son is right when he said that you are worrying enough for everyone in the family. We women are just like that!! We not only were given the shopping gene, we are also given the "additional" worry gene. :-)) You are a very strong woman, and I admire you. The love you have for your husband and children shines thru each update you post. My prayers will be for you and Steve to share an even deeper love and understanding for each other, and of course for McKenzie's continued progress. May God continue to bless you and your family.

I can't begin to know what all you are going through.I do see the strength that god is giving you. I pray for your family everyday and the girls(you know I tell you all the time) are amazing .They ARE two peas in a pod.
Last night at the Relay For Life I was amazed at Steve.God has a plan for all of us. He knew what he was doing by sending him to you. He is truely a wonderful person that loves you with all of his heart.
Please let me know if I can help in anyway.You're in my thoughts and prayers. May God continue to wrap his arms around your family and lift you up.

Dear Carol, I'm not even going to pretend like I understand what you are going through, but now that I have a daughter of my own I can only imagine the strength that you must have to be able to endure all of this. I love the pictures of the girls, they are beautiful. A childs resilience is amazing to me. I just want you to know that I'm still praying for you. I was reading in my bible in 2 Samuel this morning and if you read Ch 22 vs 33, it says " It is God who arms me with strength and makes my way perfect" I feel like that scripture says it all because it is with Him that we as humans are able to have the strength to get through all of life's tribulations. When I look into Taylor's ( my little one) eyes, I just pray that the Lord will give me the strength to handle any situation that is put in our path and I always think about you and all that you have had to go through. Well I just wanted you to know ya'll are still in my prayers. Love in Christ, Mitzi

Carol, You probably don't remember this, but when Catherine had her first Christmas, she was one funny looking baby! All her first hair had fallen out and the new stuff was coming in. Her hair is so straight that each individual hair grew straight out of her head, each one in a slightly different angle. Also, I had started feeding her vegetables, but only the orange ones, not knowing it would turn her skin orange. It was winter and we were out in the cold around Christmas, so her cheeks were chapped. This caused them to turn a slightly darker shade of orange. Are you getting a mental picture here? She looked like I had made her up to be a clown. And here she was, seeing many of my relatives for the first time. I was embarrassed--she never knew the difference.
Hang in there. I'm praying for you all and I love you.

Although we want our girls to have long thick hair BABIES for the most part lose their first hair-remember THAT instead of thinking the chemo is causing hair loss, just think of it as the baby shed. My babies looked like Mr. Magoo after their hair first hair fell out. Now at 5 Leah has thick long hair just like you do. It took a while and I was worried she was going to be thin and stragly forever but like I've said "this too shall pass" Little Mac is beautiful with hair or without--she's a BABY she doesn't care you shouldn't either. Imagine if she were 16! ouch! she's not though so thank God for small blessings. She'll never know or remember her hair falling out. Don't sweat the small stuff Sweetie. I hope your Mother's Day was fantastic! The trials you are going through is one of the reasons we celebrate Mothers Day like we do. God Bless you.
Love,

Dear Fleming Family,

I don't know if you remember but I talked via email with you in the beginning of January, I posted something on the Squirrels Tale? I also noticed that you are a member of the Rhabdo Kids and saw your post last night. Our son, Trent, was diagnoised about the same time as McKenzie and wanted to say hello. Your journal entries hit close to home because everything you say, I am feeling the same thing. I just wanted to say you have someone thinking of you in Indiana and to wish you and your family the best!

Dear Carol and Steve,
I have kept you all in my prayers since getting your card about McKenzie and this website. I sat down the night I got your card to view the site but couldn't find the words to add an entry. I was overwhelmed by your trials but even more so by your strength, courage, and faith. I pray that your love and HIS love will deliver the complete healing for McKenzie and for all of your "run ragged" days to ease. God has blessed your life with such beautiful children and the children's lives with such inspiring parents.

Hi, I found your website through a link at "Trinity Preschool" website. Although your site was designed with your family in mind, I agree with Rhonda's comments on April 12th "you are an inspiration to more people than you'll ever know"! Your family is truly blessed. I feel that God chooses only VERY special people to care for his SPECIAL little angels. I am a mother of two and a preschool operator, so I have a very deep love for children. Please know that I will share your story with others and ask that others pray for your family. McKenzie will always be in my prayers. You are seeing right! I AM in NASSAU, BAHAMAS.

Good morning. We are Skeeter and Loretta Humphreys. We were members of Trinity in early 1970's. Loretta was the financial secretary for the church the three years we were there. Dr. John Bledsoe was Pastor then. Found your web site from the church page as I was looking at the 50th anniversary celebration. Our prayers are with you as you return to Atlanta this week for treatments. Just remember "If God brings you to it, He will bring you throught it". We have just had twin grandbabies. Two girls.

Dear Carol and Steve,
I am so thankful that God led you and your family to our church. You became a part of an ever growing church family that loves one another and supports one another. And while we each may be going through our own difficult times, we somehow manage to draw strength from each other. That is how amazing God's love is. It is never ending. I hope you will continue to have such strong beliefs and the faith that you have displayed so that it will carry you through any hard times that may lie ahead. Please know that we are here for you and would love to help you in any way we are able. But, most importantly, know that God is always near and is just waiting for you to call on Him. Our prayer is for God's will to be done and for McKenzie and your entire family to feel His love and healing powers surround you. It was a joy to see the twins smile so beautifully Wednesday night at church. Their eyes twinkled and sparkled and they seem to have a special glow about them. I do believe they must be angels. And the pride that showed on your face and Steve's face as you held them and talked to them was such a sweet sight. I know that you are an inspiration to more people than you will ever know. Please don't ever give up the fight. We love you and will continue to pray for you.

Hi McKenzie and family. Wow you sure have been thru a lot already. My son has leukemia and I know the toll it takes on the whole family emotionally, financially and spiritually. The siblings also have it very hard too, they dont understand why its all happening (and how do we explain when we dont understand ourselves!) Just sometimes seems theres not enough time or money to go around, mostly energy and patience though. Well I hope your being added to the Adopt a Kids Site brings you more visitors and more thoughts & prayers. We will be thinking of you!

like a war on TV, but now it is a reality. (His step-dad is John Wayne Metcalf)
I know you are proud of Tyler. I have enjoyed having him in computer class the last two years, and look forward to

^j^.......Thank God all went well on Steve & the girls' trip and that you got your much needed 'special time' with Logan...I believe Steve needed 'special time' with his baby girls as well.!! Only God knows how He does things and why! Your words brought a healing sense to my heart for it was a bit on the heavy side for several reasons...even though I KNOW there is no comparison, YOU are indeed a much needed blessing and inspiration to my heart and my life...
thanxamillion! ...AND after our Risen Lord's Blessed Day - Easter - when you have to then take McKenzie back for her scheduled visit?...KNOW that you're not there alone! :)
As always, with loving thoughts and prayers......^j^...and may a legion of angels bless your way and keep you all healthy and safe.

When I read the entries of this past week, I was astonished at all that had transpired. You both are such an inspiration to me. You all are made of the toughest material ever! God knows that He has created the perfect parents for 5 wonderful children, especially sweet McKenzie. You are exactly correct that you have been put here as an RN to administer the necessary medical treatments to your own precious baby. God is so good, and you are so blessed to be able to give praises for all the ways you are being ministered to. Our prayers are with you and your children each day. Hope your weekend is restful.
Love and prayers!

This entry isn't directed at the Fleming Family but at everyone who visits this site. There are nearly 2000 hits on this website, several of my friends check it daily. EVERYONE who visits this site needs to take 2 seconds and offer the Flemings a word of encouragement and/or just let them know you've said a prayer. I know from talking to Carol, any entries into this guestbook help to lift her and Steve's spirits. If you've not yet let them know you are praying and thinking of them I urge you to now. Although I know in my heart, McKenzie is going to be fine at the end of this ordeal, this is extremely hard on her family and I know they find strength from these guestbook entries.

Carol,
Take a deep breath and continue to know God is on your side as well as 1000's of others who are praying for YOU and McKenzie. I can only imagine how hard this is for you and Steve and only wish I had the power to take this burden from you. The only power any of us have now is prayer and God's help. He's helping now with the incredible medical care she's receiving. His protective arms are being wrapped around McKenzie in the form of doctors and nurses and medicine who will keep her from getting a bad infection and if she does, will keep her strong enough to fight it. You can do this. God does not give us more than we can take. You, my friend, are a strong person. Look deep and call upon that strength now-God is helping you through everyone who has visited this website and continues to pray for your family. I've always had the utmost confidence in your abilities. Now is no different. As hard as it seems, you are equipped with strong character, strong will, and strong faith. These traits will see you through. She is going to be FINE! Too many people are praying for her for it not to be so. So, take a deep breath, scream in the backyard, heck kick the dog if you need to (he can take it) but don't despair. Things will get better and that baby will be restored to health to eventually "make you pay for your raising!" (remember I was there I know what a challenge that will be!!--haha)
I love ya like a sister,

Kelli

The pictures are adorable. I can't believe that I have had Turbo for 2 years and will have Rachel the next two years. Where does the time go?

Carol, As these treatments get rougher, please try and take comfort in the fact that thousands of prayes are being sent your way. She's so small she won't remember any of this, unfortunately you'll never forget it but it will serve to make you stronger in faith and love. Not only you but the many people McKenzie's journey has touched who are hugging their kids a little tighter and taking time to stop and realize what really matters. Hang in there-"this too shall pass" I love you

I was so touched!.....my thought was that of The Holy Spirit! I believe Our Lord is with them both! I can only imagine your little Kylie's emotions at not being not only without her Mom but ALSO being without her twin!....or rather being 'there FOR her twin'!!! (they say they all twins have a special connection) I feel as though if Kylie could 'speak' already?....she would have such beautiful words of inspiration!!! God bless you all!....you're in my constant thought and prayer!! OH!....and congratulations to the newest cheerleader! God bless you in all your activities and preparations and travels and excitement!! You obviously are working very hard and deserve the honor sweetie!! ....My love to you all! ....^j^.....

I just want to let y'all know that I'm thinking about all of y'all in this hard time. I know how hard it is to watch someone you love so much go through all of this because I went through it with my grandma. I know that watching your own child go through it is so much different and harder than a grandparent but just remember that my prayers are with all of you. If you need anything let me know and if you need some one to watch Logan you know where to find me.

hey carol and steve,
i just wanted to remind you of something that you already know.
god is faithful.
we are pressed on every side by troubles, but we are not crushed and broken. we are perplexed, but we dont give up and quit. we are hunted down, but god never abandons us. we get knoked down, but we get up again and keep going. thru suffering these bobies of ours constantly share in the death of jesus, so that the life of jesus may also been seen in our bodies. 2 corinthians 4:8-10
we are praying that the life that mckenzie lives will be one of great faith. we love you cat and cody

Carol & Steve!
....you're such an inspiration to us ALL!....Carol, I'm a single mother of two and at times I've felt sooooo VERY overwhelmed - especially on the SERIOUS Dr. visits or the time when my daughter needed 3 stiches right on her eyebrow!....only a fraction of an inch from her EYE!!!...and there YOU are with YOUR daughter....well, I think you understand the point!...Thanks for BEING my inspiration!
I glanced briefly through some of the recent entries and see that God is truly shining thru McKenzie!...such an angel!...I finally got the book in that I wanted to send you as well as collected a couple of other things!...this package filled with love and God's blessings will be on it's way shortly!
You're allll CONSTANTLY in my prayers and McKenzie is at any given moment of every day!....especially during my morning prayers as I get ready for my day.
OH, and glancing thru the guestbook?.....I can't help but think: "....where two or more are gathered in MY NAME...there am I in their midst..." I envision US ALLLLL holding hands in a GREAT BIG circle of Love & Prayer!!
....angel blessings to you ALL!....^j^.....

Carol, The vast number of people who have touched this website is astounding. That's at least 1 prayer per person who's hit the site and you know people are offering more than one prayer (not to mention the people they've expressed a prayer need to). I myself pray for your family and Little Bit at least twice a day. I know in my heart she is going to be fine. You and Steve will be too. Although these are trying times, and times no human mind can understand, you WILL find strength from this as God doesn't give us more than we can stand. Just look at the support you are getting from strangers and people who you haven't heard from or seen in nearly 20 years! God's grace is at work here. Embrace it and you will gain the strength that you need to get through this. As always, I'm here (or there) if needed. I love you. (you too Steve)

Jan. 3rd I completed my follow up chemotherapy after having a colon tumor removed in April. My attitude as I went through the pretreatment chemo/radiation, surgery, and follow up chemo was I am in a Win/Win situation. God will give me another testamony for His Glory as He heals me or He will take me Home to the house he has promised in His Word. I am free of cancer and I only had fatigue during the treatments. Jehovah Rapha is our Physician and Healer. My prayers are with your family. An Humble Servant.

A little over a year ago a taxi cab driver in Miami handed this to me. Little did I know at that time that I would have need to affirm my beliefs in what would lay ahead of me
Now I am passing it on to you hoping will be beneficial to you in your time of need.
THE LORD PROTECTS YOU
I look to the hills!
Where will I find help?
It will come from the LORD,
who created the heavens
and the earth.

The LORD, is your protector,
and he won't go to sleep
or let you stumble.
. . . .
The LORD is your protector,
there at your right side
to shade you from the sun.
You won't be harmed
by the sun during the day
or by the moon at night.

The LORD will protect you
and kkeep you safe
from all dangers.
The LORD will protect you
now and always
wherever you go.

Carol, My heart goes out to you. I have been praying for you ever since I got Kelli's email last week. My twins were preemies and the doctors did not give us much hope when they were born. Through our faith in God, though, we survived the months in NICU, surgeries, fear, physical therapy, etc. etc. etc. God was so good to us, and both of our boys are fine. He really does heal. I am praying the He will give you strength, comfort, peace, wisdom, and that you and your family would be drawn closer to him. He loves you all and knows exactly what you are going through.

Carol, I just found out about your little girl. I am so sorry to hear this. I know what you are going through, I just finished chemotherapy and bilateral mastectomy with reconstruction a year ago. Cancer is a horrible thing. I can't imagine to have to watch my child go through chemotherapy. Your family and daughter are in my prayers. God will take care of you and your family. Just keep praying and he will be there for you. I could have not of made it without the Love of God. If there is anything I can do, you just let me know. If you just need someone to talk to I am here. Keep your spirits up and just pray and pray. Please keep me posted on your daughter. I will put her on the prayer list at my church. GOD BLESS YOUR FAMILY. It will all be okay, Don't GIVE UP HOPE.

Carol,--
BSHS '85. Two of my kids have had something that "just wasn't right" and I know the agony of waiting for test results, etc... and how hard it is to make those trips to the hospital, taking your baby so someone can cause her pain. I will keep McKenzie, and YOU, in my prayers. A Bible verse that helps me is I Peter 5:7----Cast all your anxiety upon; for He cares for you.

Carol and Family - I will definetely hug my three boys a little harder this evening. I read thru the journal and I guess I have never even thought of someone three months old having cancer. Cancer is for old people, not little babies. You, your precious baby (the pictures are darling - you have a beautiful family) and the rest of your family will be in my thoughts everyday.
You probably don't even remember me and that isn't even important - rest assured that you aren't alone and that many people are thinking about you.

I will also ask my church this Sunday to put you in all of their prayers. With love, Margie

Dearest Carol & Steve,
I see your babies (family portrait) as well as McKenzie's picture by herself and see the love and the many faces of God!...AWESOME!....especially in McKenzie! A child like this (with any type of problem) is only placed in "special people's" care! This makes me think of a book I read about a year ago...Big George (if I remember the title correctly - might be 'Big Little George'??). I purchased it in Trudo's Religious Bookstore in San Angelo, TX (I'd like for you to have it, will you please send me your address that I can mail it to you). It's about one of God's angels!.....SUPERB!!!!
Also, the date of diagnosis?.....My birthday...so I feel a connection with your daughter deep in my heart....and the fact that the treatment was begun 3 days later....brings the Blessed Trinity to mind (The Father, Son, and Holy Ghost)
....soooo.....McKenzie is truly in God's hands and one of His Special children...as are the rest of your children, for they too have a burden which I will pray that they are handing over to Jesus. KNOW that you're ALL in my heart and in my prayers daily and in my rosary intentions.
Sincerely....and sending angel blessings your way....^j^...
