Hello! The water park sounds like it was a lot of fun! I haven't signed for a while but I've been keeping up with your site. I've been sick with a nasty cold too and I recently found out we are going to have another baby so I can't really take anything for my cold. Isn't this weather yucky? I'm so ready for spring and some nice warm days. I hope you all get to feeling better soon. Take care, and you are all in my prayers.

Hi Kelli & Dawson - So glad to hear you liked the water park and had a good Easter.
I haven't written lately because I've been tired myself from taking radiation treatments. I have the last one tomorrow. I'm so thankful to be done with those.
I'm not sure what hama means - I must have missed that.
But - know that Dawson is in my prayers everyday.
Bless you
Sincerely,
Sandy Rogers

Even though it was great to have an opportunity to talk with Matt Damon about Pediatric Cancer Research, I have to say that the real "Stars" who make the biggest impression on me are you and the kids at the Ronald McDonald House; Jack Brown, Connor Gerber, Ila Rathbone, Ryan Reagan, Noah Nelson,John Sumrall, Dylan Hartung, Alina, Evan, Jessie and so many others along with their families are the truly amazing ones.
Have fun in this great weather and give Reggie a squeeze for me.

Seding Love Hugs and a Miilion Prayers to you all.

To My Child...
Just for this morning, I am going to smile when I see your face and laugh when I feel like crying.
Just for this morning, I will let you wake up softly, all rumpled in your sheets and I will hold you until you are ready for the day.
Just for this morning, I will let you choose what you want to wear and smile at how perfect it is. Just for this morning, I am going to step over the laundry and pick you up and take you to the park and play. Just for this morning, I will leave the dishes in the sink and let you teach me how to put that puzzle of yours together.

Just for this afternoon, I will unplug the telephone and keep the computer off and sit with you in the back yard and blow bubbles.
Just for this afternoon, I will not yell once, not even a tiny grumble when you scream and whine for the Ice-cream Truck, and I will buy you one if he comes by.
Just for this afternoon, I won't worry about what you are going to be when you grow up, or second guess every decision I have made where you are concerned.
Just for this afternoon, I will let you help me bake cookies, and I won't stand over you trying to fix them.
Just for this afternoon, I will take you to McDonald's and buy us both a Happy Meal so you can have both toys.

Just for this evening, I will let you stay up late while we sit on the porch and count all the stars.
Just for this evening, I will snuggle besides you for hours, and miss my favorite T.V. show.
Just for this evening, when I run my fingers through your hair as you pray. I will simply be grateful that God has given me the greatest gift ever given. I will think about mothers who are searching for their missing children, the mothers who are visiting their children's graves instead of their bedrooms and mothers who are in the hospital rooms watching their children suffer senselessly, and scream inside that they can't handle it anymore, and when I kiss you goodnight, I will hold you a little tighter, a little longer. It is then I will thank God for you and ask him for nothing,

EXCEPT ONE MORE DAY

Dear Dawson,
Happy New Year from Shanghai,China!!
I am a friend of your Aunt Deb and have loved hearing all about you and your family. I am in Shanghai visiting my son Lynden, who is going to high school for a year in Beijing,China. It is already 2007 here, so we wanted to wish you a Happy New Year! It is 14 hours later here than in Illinois so we are just getting up when you are getting ready to go to bed.
In China we all got to gong a bell to ring in "The Year of The Pig" which is very good luck. If you have a chance to gong or ring a bell for 2007, it will be very good luck for your trip to New York!
Happy 5th Birthday Dawson!!! (coming so soon!)

Sincerely,
Candice Engelhard and Lynden Engelhard

I have to give you a HUGE Thank You for the Elf Idea!! We bought 2 of them and of course we had to get the reindeer to go with them, needless to say, I am so glad those little elves went back with Santa, they have been wrecking the house for the past couple weeks, It was such a joy to see the boys get up in the morning looking to see where they are and what they got into while they were sleeping. What A FANTASTIC way to bring "Magic" into our home. Thank you and A BIG Happy Happy Birthday to Dawson and A VERY Happy New Year to you and your family. God Bless

So glad to hear things are going well. When I get down due to our family's crazy schedule, thinking of everything I need to fit into the day after an 8 hour work day, I sometimes get frazzled and down - that is when I pull up Dawson's web page and read your journal, it ALWAYS makes me smile and puts me in a good mood. Your family is such an inspiration!!! I thank you for taking the time out of your busy schedule and updating your journal on a regular basis. I too have 3 children (12, 10 & 4) so I know how busy you can be. Praise God for getting you through some really hectic and questionable times and for all the gifts He has given (and continues to give) to your family. Happy holidays & thanks for keeping us updated on your family.

flowed from the cross brings eternal peace, and the green symbolizes eternal life

You don't know me - but I found your page through Kids Cancer Crusade. My son Donavynn is 2 1/2 and he was diagnosed with Acute Lymphcytic Leukemia in February. Since then I've had my eyes opened to how many children are trully affected by all types of cancers. I just wanted to tell you that you are in our prayers. Thank you for the info on the vaccine! That is incredible. I agree with you though, that these pharmaceutical companies are greedy and out of control! I hope that they come through for you and all the other neuroblastoma patients. God Bless you, and your little man!!! If you would like to see Donavynn's page it is www.freewebs.com/sdolphins

It's hard coming up with different ways to say "I'm praying" when I sign guestbooks. Know that I am praying so for you! But what's more important is what this passage says. It's my very favorite passage. It says that the Holy Spirit Himself is praying for you! Oh what comfort these verses bring!
Rom.8:26-27: Likewise the Spirit also helpeth our infirmities: for we know not what we should pray for as we ought: but the Spirit itself maketh intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered. And he that searcheth the hearts knoweth what is the mind of the Spirit, because he maketh intercession for the saints according to the will of God.

Hey guys, I am so glad you had a better time than we did at the airport. Nothing like home that's for sure. So Reggie got some NY style to him now? Gene is so sweet, he went all out for Codeys dog Angel, it really made his day as well. Makes it a better day for them, and really gets their minds off that horrible pain. Take Care and enjoy your time at home and I pray that you will all have a Very Happy thanksgiving, We will find out Monday, hopefully about Codeys marrow, this long wait is making me crazy. (we always knew by Friday, except the one time he was negative, so hopefully that is the case again, no news is good news, right?) Talk to ya later. Enjoy your scrapbooking!!!

Hi Kell and Dawson, Sorry you had such a rough day yesterday. Kelli, I think your airport bad luck rubbed off on me. We had a horrible day monday, you will have to check out Codeys journal. Glad to hear that Barbara was there for you, she is so sweet. Codey said she is going to have to fix him some pancakes when we head back. Code also has some belly aches at times, since we started doing Aloxi as a premed, he has done better. Good luck with your flight home, its time you had a smooth one. Take Care

Hi Kellie and Dawson, Glad you all made it there safe and sound. I spoke with Caryn Franca this morning and she told me about Barbara's sheet keepers idea, that is so awesome, your right that will help us out so much. I remember last year how much fun we had walking around with you guys and enjoying the sites, having our guys all bundled up in their strollers, you and I looking in every window. We are excited to see all the christmas lights again this year, they are so beautiful. We are praying for you both all week along with all the other families. Love, Mary

Hi Kelli!

Oh my gosh!! I love the idea of the sheet keepers! One of my biggest dilemas is packing towels and bedding. How wonderful it would be to have extra room. The smallest things mean so much to families like us traveling. Please let me know where I can sign up when we are there next. Actually, Cathy and Ryan will be out the same time.
Wishing you guys a very uneventful week!

My name is Theresa Holmes and I was a nursing student while you and your mom were in Iowa City. I am now a pediatric nurse in Chicago. I had not checked your page in a very long time. Today I happened to think of you and your great family and was so happy to see that you are all doing so great. I just wanted to extend my thoughts and prayers to you and your family. I loved my internship at Iowa and will always remember all the sweet little kids that taught me to be a better nurse and person.

Take care,

Well, all I can say is that it really isn't normal how absolutely ADORABLE Little Dawson is! Don't worry about spoiling him too much Kelli - with a sweet face like that, any Mom would have a hard time not giving him whatever he wants! They're only little once (and in the big realm of life it's just a blink of an eye), so from one one Mom to another...spoil away! Glad to know you guys are enjoying the beautiful fall days too!

Hi Kelli, Dawson and Family,
We just FOUND you. Your family (Aunt Deb Maher) contacted me about the wonderful fundraising campaign you'all are doing. What a GREAT, FANTASTIC, AWESOME idea you all have and have set up - You are the BEST. We truly will support you!! But most of all, we are praying now for you Dawson, EVERY DAY. As our little Trenton is following in the same 'miracle' footsteps as you; diagnosed on March 18th, 2005, 5 days after his one-year birthday, Stage IV Neuorblastoma with N-myc. Now Trenton is 2 1/2 and loving all the BOY things that you are too Dawson. YOU are so handsome and we love all your pictures and slide show. We will stay close in touch and BELIEVING every day, there are NO relapses here for sure.
We are also heavily involved with CURE CHILDHOOD CANCER - www.curechildhoodcancer.org a 32 year old Georgia fundraiser. They send their monies to research and we've had a lot of good news from our Emory University scientist that are working on and in hopefully one-year approvals for the CURE of Neuroblastoma and other cancers for childhood cancer. We are trying to raise $100K thru CURE to support this drug and expedite things within hopefully one-year.
With all our help, I believe we will ALL beat this disease. I too, just like you Kelli, just don't want it to be too late. My heart cries every day for all these sweet children that have relapsed. It's just not fair and I cry so much. Going thru my work days, my husband and I just can't wait to get home to be with Trenton AND Taylor (our oldest son - 9 years old)........and like you. We squeeze a little harder and count our every blessing that we get to share with each other every day.

You all are a lovely family and have never met you, but I can tell thru your sister Deb, as she seems so loving and caring and a great person supporting to FIND A CURE....

With much love and blessings and always believing in miracles....

We are headed to NY in three weeks to do the same thing and are hoping for the same results. Congratulations on being a part of an effort to raise funds for research. We, too, are also starting a foundation to raise money for NB research so we can make a difference for all the wonderful kids and families battling this disease. Here's to ongoing good health for everyone! Hope one of our future visits will coordinate with yours so we can catch up. Enjoy life at home with the new puppy!

HI Kelli!

I love your idea of the "Coins for Kids" I will pass it on to my daughter, Molly, who is a Neuroblastoma Survivor. We live not too far from you in Minnesota. I hope we can meet you all next year at the Neuroblastoma Conference in Chicago. You should try to come if you can....it is a wonderful experience and Dawson will get to meet lots of other NB kids, and of course some survivors!

We do a Lemonade Stand at the Mall of America each year. Perhaps you all want to venture up to Minneapolis for the stand. We are doing a Two day stand next year with day one at Canterbury Downs Racetrack, and day two at the Mall in the Grand Rotunda. Molly's dance team will be putting on two big shows. It is so much fun and maybe you can help us out!!

You will be in our prayers. Dawson is a beautiful!! our very best to you!!

Love,
The Hollway's in Minnesota!

Hello you guys, Sorry that we didnt get a chance to chat much this trip. I am soooo excited and happy for your news. So what does this mean for your trips to NYC docs? I saw Mitchell and his mom in clinic I think it was Thursday but I dont think she had any results back yet, we only really got to say hello because both of us had stuff going on.We ended up in-patient Thursday! The CT he had in the morning showed more spots on his lungs....so we are hopeing that its "just" an infection that they can clear with IV antibiotics, but there is a chance that his fibrosis has gotten worse. This past month has been rough on him. So we meet with his pulmanologist in the morning to go over scans and labs. We will probably be here at least another week. You know these kids they roll with the punches, it stinks to be inpatient but we make it work. Too bad you didnt get to see the pres' plane!
I am not sure what is on the agenda for the house in the next week or so. Hopefulley something FUN to make up for the crappy week he has had so far! Beleive it or not I actually updated his site. I have yet to get Brenda to "do it up" She has sent me email after email letting me know she would be more then happy to do a page up for him. I should get on that soon. I know Zack would go crazy and he actually would be more apt to get on and check out his page. OK gotta run its been about 15 min and he is watching tv and I am sure he needs something by now. When I get back in there he is going to say....MOOOOOOMMMMM where have you been. Honestly today he said to me when I came out of the bathroom, mom your back? I said what are you talking about, he said I thought you left for the computer room, I said Zack I told you about 1/2 hr ago that the playroom wasnt open yet and I have been sitting right beside you watching you watch Scooby-Doo and just 2 min ago went to the bathroom! So much for being noticed. Bye

Thank you for sharing your stories with strangers like myself. Reading what your family and Dawson have been through make my bad days better. You have been through so much that it gives me and I am sure many others a quick reality check. We should cherish every day we have, and hug our babies and loved ones as much as we possibly can. Again, I applaud you for being the wonderful person you are.
Take care....I'll be praying for you all.

Hi Kelli & Dawson - I haven't been in touch lately because I've been fighting cancer myself. The month of July was a nightmare - I spent the whole month waiting to get the right diagnosis - breast cancer. I had 3 biopsies before it could be confirmed. We went to the Mayo Clinic where I had a mastectomy. I will start my chemo here in the quad cities on Tues. and Monday I get the port put in. So - we missed the survivors lap - Rex always goes. I was so proud to see Dawson lead the way. I will plan on being there next year as well. Dawson is always in my prayers!!!
Have a great school year - and a safe trip back to New York.
I'm sure glad to hear you've had such a busy summer & sounds like a fun time. I will stay in touch -
Love,

Remember when we all floated a "lazy river" float? Thinking of that makes me remember our Mouse Trap movie/pizza night. That was fun for all ages!

Just writing to wish Dawson well as he is starting school! Have fun buddy and get all smart like your brothers! It will be so wonderful for you Kelly to have the start of the school year be fairly normal. Like you said "Praise the Lord" for the fresh start to a totally different school season. I am so thankful that you are able to be a normal "soccor mom" driving around crazily from one function to another with all her boys. Thank you God! How many more treatments does Dawson have now and when is his next scans? The thoughts and prayers are sent your way regardless, but I like to be more specific when I can. Hugs to you!

To My Child...
Just for this morning, I am going to smile when I see your face and laugh when I feel like crying.
Just for this morning, I will let you wake up softly, all rumpled in your sheets and I will hold you until you are ready for the day.
Just for this morning, I will let you choose what you want to wear and smile at how perfect it is.Just for this morning, I am going to step over the laundry and pick you up and take you to the park and play. Just for this morning,I will leave the dishes in the sink and let you teach me how to put that puzzel of yours together.

Just for this afternoon, I will unplug the telephone and keep the computer off and sit with you in the back yard and blow bubbles.
Just for this afternoon, I will not yell once, not even a tiny grumble when you scream and whine for the Ice-cream Truck, and I will buy you one if he comes by.
Just for this afternoon, I won't worry about what you are going to be when you grow up, or second guess every decision I have made where you are concerned.
Just for this afternoon, I will let you help me bake cookies, and I won't stand over you trying to fix them.
Just for this afternoon, I will take you to McDonald's and buy us both a Happy Meal so you can have both toys.

Just for this evening, I will let you stay up late while we sit on the porch and count all the stars.
Just for this evening, I will snuggle besides you for hours, and miss my favorite T.V. show.
Just for this evening, when I run my fingers through your hair as you pray. I will simply be grateful that God has given me the greatest gift ever given. I will think about mothers who are searching for their missing children, the mothers who are visiting their children's graves instead of their bedrooms and mothers who are in the hospital rooms watching their children suffer senselessly, and scream inside that they can't handel it anymore, and when I kiss you goodnight, I will hold you a little tighter, a little longer. It is then I will thank God for you and ask him for nothing,

It's really hard finding a different way to say "I'm praying" all the time. But I'm here, and I'm still praying!
Psalm 145:14-16: The LORD upholdeth all that fall, and raiseth up all those that be bowed down. The eyes of all wait upon thee; and thou givest them their meat in due season. Thou openest thine hand, and satisfiest the desire of every living thing.

Hi Kelli and Dawson: Glad to hear that ya'll got home ok. It sounds like you had a great time at the TV studios meeting everybody. I watched until about 8:30; but never saw you. Sounds like you were doing alot behind the scenes. I bet Dawson loved all the attention he was getting and who wouldn't just fall in love with him! I know that you are glad to be home. Enjoy the next two months. Love Aunt Denise

So glad to hear that you are headed home! It is also wonderful to hear how well you have both been treated in NY. Coming from the small towns, I am sure that it was pretty scary to think of being in the big city without that small town feeling and familiar faces. You both have been so brave and strong with all that you have indured! Hope you are able to get to a pool or at least enjoy some water of some kind while being home with the hot weather. Have a great weekend! Hugs to you!

Kelli,
I just wanted to let you know that Dawson and your family are still in my thoughts and prayers daily. It is wonderful news to read that his MIBG test is all clear. I am continuing to pray that you receive another all clear today from his bone marrow tests. I know how long and hard this road is for you but you are doing a great job for Dawson. Keep your spirits up, you are coming home tomorrow. I will be watching the Today Show and looking for Dawson to be shaking his bootie!!!!!

Much Love,

Awesome news on the tests so far. We will be watching for you 2 to be shake, shake, shaking it on Friday. I always wanted to get down to the show when we were in NYC but never got out of bed. Good for you having fun and getting treatment too. That's how we've learned to live. Get going on a sign for the show so we can spot you quick.

There is no place like home with family and friends! I loved the new picture Dawson! Don't let too many people see that or they may want to make you the next statue to stand there and hold that torch all day and night! It sure looked patriotic though. Have a safe trip back home.

Hi Kelli and Dawson: Happy belated anniversary!! Sounds like things are going pretty well. First week down. Hopefully your second week goes fast. We had a good time with ya'll. Bridgette misses her sleeping partner. They really enjoyed each other. When we got home Bridgette was commenting on how cute he was and what a great personality he has. Miss ya. The other day Bridgette and I went to see The Devil Wears Prada. It was really good. Filmed in the designer district of New York. If you get a chance to see it when you get home, do. It's a girl flick; so you will have to go with your girlfriends. Well, have a good week next week. Love and miss ya, Aunt Denise.

remembering when Mason was on Accutane....his face and lips got soooo dry! What will be your next step after this? How is everyone doing at the "black hospital?" (thats what Mason called it) I have some things I would like to donate if you see or talk to Child Life.
We have some puppies also at our house (6 week old registered black labs) if you know of any child/family that would love to have the experience Mason and us had with the mom(HOPE) (we are currently waiting for a family to decide on one as a MAKE A WISH puppy....(we will be donating it to them)
I just wanted to pop in and say hello and let you know you are always in our thoughts/prayers,and even though we never really got to know each other we share alot of the same feelings/stories of Neuroblastoma.

What Cancer Cannot Do
Cancer is so limited.
It cannot cripple LOVE
It cannot shatter HOPE
It cannot corrode FAITH
It cannot destroy PEACE
It cannot kill FRIENDSHIP

We are praying for a clear CT result for Dawson and that your week "alone" Kelli goes by smoothly. That antibody just brings out a different side of these kids but if it's doing some good you'll take it. Sounds nice that you are staying in one of the new and improved rooms. It's not Park Ave. but you can't beat the support. Good luck this week. Hope you're home before you know it.

Dawson,
Did you get your Daddy a latte on the way to the hospital? I bet they were glad to see you again at the coffee shop. Aunt Deb thinks you should tell the nurse to forget the numb cream and hold out for a green(or purple) sucker! I bet that would do the trick and make that ol' I.V. not so bad. I hope it doesn't rain this weekend so you can take your Mommy & Daddy to Central Park. Thinking of you!

Hey from Iowa City. I am so glad Dawson is doing well. It is so true there is no place like home. As Dorothy put it. I will let you know when we make it over your way. Livee is loving school and being part of the whole experience. We are so fortunate to have Livee and Dawson healthy and moving forward. God has answered many prayers for sure. You take care and we will keep in touch.

Hello to you! It was really good to see Jeff and Kelli at Gary Quick's benefit. I keep up with the progress of Dawson on this website and my mother Karen keeps me posted. We have Dawson's information hanging on a bulletin board in our church in Sioux City, IA. We have said many prayers for your family. So good to hear he is doing so well. God is good! Love you all.

I used to be a kindergarten teacher and I can still remember the excitement the kids had for the "big yellow bus" It is one of the rites of passage growing up that you can now check off the list for Dawson! Many, many more to come! Next thing you know it will be losing a tooth and riding a two wheeler if he isn't already! Hope to be in the antibody bay April 3rd! Enjoy Spring, I check on you frequently!

Hi Kelli - I wanted to tell you that I work w/Tammy Sullivan & she was at the benefit for Gary Sat. night. She is actually related to him - he is her 1st cousins husband. She had a great time - and spent quite a bit of money for such a good cause. She agrees with you that he is a great guy & would do anything for anyone else. We got to talking about the benefit here this morning & then I realized that's who you were writing about. She said there was a fabulous turn out with lots of great food & prizes.
Glad it went well - Small towns are great supporters of these types of things.
Glad to hear Dawson is doing well. Spring is here & soon he will be able to play outside.
You are still in my prayers.

I could never imagine having to make those decisions after what he and you all have been through. You are an AWESOME parent by at least recongnizing changes will need to be made. What ever decisions you and your family make with Dawson will be the best ones you know how to make at the time. Keep up the good work!! I'd love to get together sometime.

Your 2 week antibody stay is almost over - Hooray! We'll miss seeing you in March when we head that way for testing, testing, testing. You will have so much fun going to your new school.

Hi Kelli and Dawson,
Dawson looks so cute in his fireman raincoat. I am glad to hear his 3f8 treatment hasn't been too bad. We will pray next week is even better. We hope that nasty cough goes away too. We have been battling sickness since we got home. Jacob woke up with a fever again this morning. These fevers are really starting to scare me. That's how Ryan started off. I know it is rare, but you never know. One more week and you will have 8 weeks at home, how wonderful, and no tubies either. Hopefully we will see eachother again, we miss you guys.

What a great raincoat and boots. I bet Dawson loved all the attention of everyone loving his outfit; as he is such a clothes (and shoe) hound! Glad that the treatments this week are going well and the change in procedure didn't cause him any additional pain. He is such a trooper with the intense pain involved in these 3F8 treatments. Hope you have a good weekend, I'm sure you'll find something to do in New York. :) Thinking of you and glad you'll be home for 8 weeks very, very soon.

Quite the adventure you had en route to NYC. For now I am glad we did not have to travel that way. I guess there was a good reason they couldn't get us in for scans till March. Maybe it will be Spring by then??? Our Michigan snow has melted so maybe your New York piles will melt away soon. It is not an easy place with a stroller in snow. We hope this week of treatment goes well for Dawson and there are plenty of familiar faces to keep you company.

Kelli, Dawson & Family,

Just wanted to say hi, I haven't posted for a while, but I still check Dawson's site EVERY day. Kelli, again, thank you for your posts. You can feel your heart in all of them. Especially your last homecoming one and how much Dalton had missed Mom and Dawson, it brought tears to my eyes (happy tears). Even though I miss the daily updates, I know that means things are going good and actually maybe normal. Tell Jeff and the boys hi from us and as always, we are keeping Dawson and your family in our prayers.
Love, Randy, Molly, Cameron, Colbey & Carlie Vance

Dear Dawson and Family,
It sounds like you have such a brave and courageous boy! It�s amazing how one little boy can touch so many lives� and that�s just what Dawson has done��I�m Doug and I danced 24 hours at the U of I Dance Marathon.(morale group #12) It was a blast and your inspiration is what kept me going...my thoughts and prayers are with you always.

I believe it in my heart. That's what we have to do isn't it? No room for anything else. We are inpatient right now, but should be out to welcome you back to the Ronald! Travel safe- Caryn and Nick

Dear Kelli, Congrats to you & Dawson for getting through this difficult year. I know exactly how you feel Kelli, about all your fears, anxiety, etc. It will get better in time, but believe me - it doesn't go away. Every time there is an ache or pain - you think the worst. Have faith & contiune praying. God has gotten you this far. Dawson is amazing - he has been through so much, what a brave little boy. Hopefully-this last year will never repeat itself. I admire your strength & courage. I know this year will bring great expectations your way. Enjoy your time with Drew, Dalton & Jeff as this has been so hard on them also. I'm praying you will have many more good times together as a family & never have to experience this nightmare again. Lots of love, Sandy

Awesome news! (clean scans) It is always so great to see this, with all the NB kids, fighting this nasty beast! 3F8's are surely working!
Enjoy your time at home, and induldge in the "normal" things! I, too, have been cooking and baking. It has seemed to make the last week go by slower, too. Enjoy every minute of your time at home... and don't forget to enjoy a date with hubby and maybe a night out with the girls!

Hey Kelly- It was so nice to get up this morning and read a guestbook entry from you!!! We venture back up today and your note reminded me that there is a "second" family at the Ronald, and we are grateful for that. I am so envious of your website. The new ones don't let you put all the pictures on it. The music you have was so perfect, I didn't even realize tears were rolling down my face as I heard it. I scanned back through your journal to check on Dawson's testing and I agree, YIPPEEEE!!! You guys bring such hope to me, and soon Nick will gladly endure the pain of antibodies because it means his disease is so little that he is ready for them!!!! (Remind me I said that when he is screaming in the slaughter house as you call it):) Anyways, I'll be looking for you and Dawson in a few weeks... soak in home it is fabulous isn't it?

I'm sure the fighting will soon start between them, but it's OK, they are brothers and they HAVE EACH OTHER to fight with!!!!!!! That is so exciting about Dawson starting school. I can imagine it will be hard for the both of you separating from one another after your LONGGGGGGGGGGGG journey through the last year! WEll I have to go to the dentist.

Hi guys, Boy did we have fun in New York! Kelli you sure know how to get around, no one would ever know you are a small-town girl :). I'm trying to decide where we had the most fun; 5th Avenue, Madison Avenue, Theatre District, Soho, Chinatown, Times Square, the Plaza, Trump Towers... I know what Dawsons favorites were... Toys R Us, McDonalds, Dylans Candy Store, ice cream shops, the waterfall and the live lobsters at Tony's. I can't believe how he would just cuddle into his stroller and let us shop until we literally dropped! Also, he is so good about going to the hospital, just a part of his routine. I bet most 4 year olds don't keep right on talking while getting finger sticks! One Amazing Kid.

It sounds like you are having fun with your aunt visiting. We hope the testing is going smooth. Kelli, I was cracking up when I read about your secret purse store. My Michigan friends & I stumbled onto one in "little Italy" , but it was run by Asian workers. The secret room was a little scary but of course we all bought purses & had some great stories from that place. Molly's loving playing in the snow here in Michigan. Maybe there will still be some when you get home to Illinois. Best wishes for a smoooth week of testing.

Molly loved your Scooby Doo cake Dawson. We are heading out in the snow today to try Molly's new sled. It will probably melt soon so gotta enjoy it while it's here.

You are so right about normalcy, same old same old sounds good to me. Someday this cancer stuff can be a faded memory. I look to the future with guarded optimism, Livee and Dawson deserve a bright and healthy future. They have endured so much. Just as we parents have. It is amazing the inner strength we have, when it comes to saving your child it becomes survival. Livee may have had cancer but it does not have her. Same for Daws. We are so happy that things are progressing in the right direction. We pray for our kids only a healthy 2006!!!! Take care.

Happy Birthday and best wishes, Kelli! I hope it's a really good day for you and Dawson. I enjoyed the new photos. With 2 stories of candy to choose from, making a decision must be kind of tough. Wow! It looks like Dawson was having a great time in the snow. Love to you all. Dawson is always in my prayers.

Hi Kelli and Dawson!

Sorry it's been so long since I've checked in. I moved to a new place in Coralville at the beginning of December, and Dawson's webpage got lost in the mix. I tried to remember them all to put on my new favorites page, and somehow I missed Dawson's. Anyway, I saw you signed Olivia's guestbook, and that triggered me. So here I am! Now I'm going to have to go back and read the journal history and get caught up! At any rate, I'm glad to hear you're enjoying your time in NYC and things seem to be going okay for you all. Dawson looks just as cute in the pictures as I remember!! Take care!

Love and Hugs,
Mariah

Hi Dawson,
Just thought I'd sign your guestbbok to say I'm so glad you are doing well and haven't had to come visit us at the hospital in Iowa City. I've been checking your page to see how New York City is going and am so glad it's going well. You and your mommy stay safe and have a little fun when you can, New York is such a big place with lots to see. Come see us just to visit when you get all done with New York.

Hi Kelli and Dawson,
I just read today's update and am glad to read that you were able to get a room at the Ronald MacDonald house again. It sounds like Dawson had a good 4th birthday and it must have been hard to decide what toys to bring and what to leave at home for your return. I hope the new schedule works out good. Lots of love. Dawson is always in my prayers.

Hi guys..just wanted to check in and see how things were going for you....sounds pretty good. Praying for you at the end of the month for good scan results! I couldnt help to notice the coat in the picture to the side that Dawson was wearing the yellow and black..it that a Columbia? Looks just like Masons!! We gave it to MICA for some little boy that may not have that nice and warm of a coat along with scarf boots and hat. I remember slightly of seeing you all (mostly Dawson) in the hallway back in April..some of those memories are faint. It hurts so bad to not have Mason here with us but to think of other kids like Dawson that are going through all the POKES PROUDS TESTS SCANS PAINS FEVERS you know all that is included in the cancer world and that is what makes me SO SAD!! I just pray that this treatment will do you good and will lead you to a cancer free living. Take Care and I will keep checking out the progress

Kelli,
I know exactly how you feel. My Grandson Camden also found out he had Medulloblastoma in 2005. We have gone thru so much this year and our lives will never be the same. We pray from scan to scan that the cancer stays away. It makes us so thankful for everyday and we look at life differently than before. I wish the very best for Dawson and your family. I pray for him everyday as I pray for Camden. Camden will be three on January 17. He is doing well also. He has 5 more weeks of radiation left and hopefully, he can go home for good. Once again, Dawon, Happy Birthday. Your deserve the very Best!!!

It was great seeing you get off that airplane in Chicago and to see you both finally back in Illinois! It was priceless when we pulled into the parking lot (where we met Jeff & Drew 1/2 way) and see that huge grin on Drew's face. Dawson was in the seat behind me so I couldn't see him, but I bet his grin was just as big. Kelli, I think you are off the hook for awhile because Dawson is now all about his Dad! Dawson looks great and his hair is coming in very nicely. He forgot all about his sore hips as soon as he saw his Dad. Just the medicine he needed. :)
See you soon,

Great job Dawson eating! Glad to hear that you are feeling up to it. Hope you were able to go to the party tonight. Keep up the good work. Don't forget to give your mom a BIGGGG hug today and tell her what an awesome mommy she is. We are saying prayers for you all the time. Thanks Kelli for keeping up with the updates and keeping us all educated with the lingo. If Dawson doesn't give you that hug, cross your arms across your chest and squeeze. And please know what an awesome mom you are! You are being so strong and hopefully almost done, right? We also say prayers for you and the rest of the family! Hugs to you both.

HI there!
My name is Tamela Mayer. my son, Thomas, and i met you in Iowa City. i believe the first time was when Dawson was there getting his 2nd or 3rd round of chemo. i remembered that Thomas and Dawson have the same type and stage of cancer. Thomas just had his stem cell transplant on Nov. 15th. he is now at the Ronald Macdonald House there is Iowa CIty. he was happy to get out of the hospital for awhile. he goes back 2 yimes a week for blood draws and transfusions if he needs them. we are pleased with howhe has been doing. it has been a long and scarey road, ( as you know). it was interseting reading about the 3F8 monocol antibodies. we pray that the treatment will we a great sucess for Dawson. i can not remember if i ever gave you the caringbridge website for Thomas. it is thomasmayer ( as one word ) to get in and the state of IA.
please take good care and know that God is with you.

Sorry that you are feeling so rotten Dawson! We are continuing to pray for you every day! I haven't had time to catch up on all the past entries but it sounds like you have been pretty busy with a lot of extra activities. That is great! You have so much medical stuff that you have to go through that it is so nice that you are able to get to some of the fun stuff too. I love the new web site and the new picture. I have saved it on my computer to print out later. I have a picture of you hanging in our office that reminds me to pray for you even more often than I already do. We are praying for you to have a safe trip home and are feeling better so that you can enjoy your Christmas and upcoming birthday. You and your mom are being so strong and brave getting through this and beating that monster (cancer)! Keep up the great work! Hugs to you both!!!

Thanksgiving was sure a bit quiet without you and of course your Mom not being there too. Next year we can fill the table with extra chairs! Yes it is very cold here in IL, send us some of your warm temps. Dawson, try some hazelnut coffee! We're busy preparing the house for Christmas too, got our tree last weekend - glad we did. Finished up the shopping now just to get them wrapped. Kelli - you should be able to finish your shopping with the package us girls sent to you while we did our annual Thanksgiving ad review! We noted some really good stuff! Glad to hear things are going pretty well for Dawson - you are right it's not far away now that you'll be headed back here to enjoy the holidays. Keep Warm.

Well I think Jack Frost has visited Dallas. Today the high was only about 27 and tonight it is going to get even colder with freezing rain. Bridgette is hoping for school to be closed. It may be because there is already sleet on the ground. We'll see when We wake up.
The cold is getting us ready for the trip home. I hope Dawson had a good day today. Talk to you later.

I hated to hear that he had pain today. After such a fun thanksgiving, I know that it's hard to get back to treatments. Maybe tomorrow will be better. We are looking forward to coming home. Looks like we may have snow while while we are there. At least cold weather. Better pack all the winter gear. Have a good night and I will talk to you later.

Hello from Iowa. I finally have taken the time to check a few web sites. Sunday I had a meeting with a Dance Marathon group. Are you planning on attending in February 2006? It can be fun but also a long weekend. Anyway, it sounds like Dawson is doing great. That is wonderful, Livee has been doing fine. Just the usual labs every other week and then a spinal/marrow on December 12th. I dread those days with a passion. I get so nervous until I know everything is fine. She had a weird rash on her feet the day before Thanksgiving. Her feet were red, puffy, and painful the good part was it only lasted a couple of days. Who knows with all the chemo she has had anything can creep up. How long will you be in the Big Apple? Maybe one of these days we can get together with out two healthy kids. That would be great. Keep in touch Kelli.

Love all the pictures you have had on the site. Looks like you had a great spot to watch the parade from on Thanksgiving. FYI - Chance has just started his chemo for his bone marrow transplant. They are in Iowa City. We were going out to visit him today, but I guess I-80 was really slow going today. We'll try to get out there tomorrow. You take care.

Hi Dawson!

You don't know me, but I feel like I know you. I have been checking on your web-site every day and saying lots of prayers for your total healing. My son's good friend Noah Nelson is due to arrive in NY for the same treatments as you in a few weeks. I wanted to tell your mom to add you to the lunch for life web-site so people can donate money to help you and other kids with Neuroblastoma. Check out www.lunchforlife.com and have all your fans donate money on your "tree" in your name. All the money raised during the month of December goes to Neuroblastoma research and you could win a trip to Disney World!

Happy Holidays to you all!

Dawson,
The search for a MONK is over! A giftshop in downtown Libertyville had 1 last MONK in stock! yeahhhhh! I just went and picked it up from the nice ladies at the "Garden Gate". Love the picture on the website of MONK getting a ride down the slide. (Sounds like your Mom may have also had some luck with the MONK search which means a spare in case of mishaps.) Kisses from me to you!

I was in NYC when I was in 10th grade, and reading about all of the awesome things you've done reminds me why I knew instantly that I wanted to go back some day.

way of letting Monk experience a little radiation. : )
We will keep Dawson in our prayers. Take care -

Hey Dawson and Kelly it is Nick and Caryn Franca. We sure are impressed with all you packed in over the weekend! Nick preferred hanging out with his older brother and sister and neice and best friend in the apartment that was donated to us for Thanksgiving. We got GREAT news on our MIBG and so now we are closer to the part of treatment you are at! Yeah!!!! I hope Nick gets to hang with Tony STewart this week he is a HUGE nascar fan. He will be 16 this Sunday and that would be a sweet present! See you in the house!!! much love Caryn and Nick

Enjoy your time together. Dawson - you are still awesome!!

I was glad to hear you had such a good time at home. I'm a homebody, so I can understand how you feel. It is so hard to be far away from family, but just know it will be worth the temporary sacrifice. Enjoy NYC & your family visit this week. Chance will be going in for his bone marrow transplant next week - we're nervous about that, not ever having to deal with things like that before. But we're learning. Paul & Jamie are doing very well. I am so impressed by people like them & you who cope with major problems. You are all heroes to the rest of us. Take care.

I'm so happy for you Kelli - I know how this warms your heart to have your family together during this time.

Wonderful news Kelli! It will be such a special time none of you will EVER forget. Praise be to God. And yes, sometimes you HAVE to take the risk of doing something so important. In a book I am reading they said something so great....here it is: " Faith is what helps you live in the space between what you understand . . .and what you don't". Keep ahold of that faith and nourish it between all of you on Thanksgiving. We pray that it continues to grow.

What a wonderful thing it is at least to have somewhere like Ronald McDonald House to stay. We used to donate to them now & then. Now that we have learned what all they do, we give more - & encourage others to do the same. I know it makes life a little better when you have to be away from home so long. Take care

Hi Kelli and Dawson. You look so good in your pictures! We are keeping in touch with your entries and praying for your continued healing. Dawson's hair looks great and he just looks so healthy. You are doing such a wonderful job guiding him thru this Kelli. Hope you are finding time to let God build you up and sustain you for the final steps of this long "trip" you have been on. He gives us strength for each day. The lady with the money gift is so cool. God touched her heart regarding you and you were all blessed. Those are the extra special things God sends us. Treasure them and all the special people you are coming in contact with. Some may be angels.
God Bless you

You know, I've been reading Dawson's site for quite awhile now - I don't remember how I came across his site, but felt an instant to connection to your story. My maiden name is Dawson, so maybe that had something to do with it. I've jut got to tell you Kelli - your updates are so uplifting in such a subtle way. You always have the most positive outlook and it is so apparent that you are not letting this evil disease crush your spirit. It takes such a special person to be able to handle such a terrible situation, with such grace and dignity. You're always doing fun "kid" things with Dawson (which children his age are entitled to do) and it is just so clear that this cancer WILL NOT get you, Dawson or the rest of your friends and family down. Dawson is such a sweet boy, and there is no doubt in my mind that he'll come through this with flyiing colors. You're always in our prayers little man!
