Carson, your parents signed our son's website www.cadenwhite.com after finding out that our son Caden has neuroblastoma stage 4H. Excellent job beating this bad, bad desease. We are just starting to understand all you have gone through, and think that you must be very, very strong. We pray that you will never have to deal with this ever again. Maybe you and Caden and get together to meet eachother sometime, since we are also in Lawrence. God bless, Darin, Shannon, Noel & Caden White.

I'm SO happy to read that Carson is done with all of those crummy scans! And that he did those last ones with such bravery. I'm 18 and I think I'd freak out with all of that going on! I think the new glasses are adorable on him!
So sad to hear you won't be writing anymore. I don't visit TOO often, to do like to read occasional updates. But I suppose there does come a time. Carson has BEAT this beast!!

Carson -- what an inspiration you are! We are so proud and happy for you. Your story gives us great hope -- hope that Lane will be right where you are with NO neuroblastoma in a few years! Congratulations! We have truly enjoyed getting to know you and your family. Thanks for spending time with us at the hospital the last time Lane had chemo.

Dearest Carson, I don't know which of you look the most proud, you or your Daddy...what a big fish you caught there! It looks like you are living up to the reputation of the Toews' guys and their love for fishing! It is a wonderful picture of you and your Daddy with your first fish, definitely in need of framing! Chuck and I enjoyed seeing how much you have grown and getting the chance to visit with you when you were in Salina last week. Not only are you so very handsome, but so smart, too! Thank your Mommy and Daddy for getting these wonderful new pictures on your website...they are so good! P. S. Your little girlfriend is sure pretty, too! Hugs and kisses from Chuck and Deanna

To my dear little hero, who is growing up so fast! How brave you are! You showed up most "grown ups" during your scans in June. I can hear your Daddy telling you not to drink that special juice, but you knew what was right for you and showed them what you could do. Even a yucky drink is better than the nose tube, right? I am so proud of you, and thrilled with your results! What a wonderful Christmas we all have to look forward to, as you finish your last round of scans! I will look forward to more good news from the ophthalmologist the end of August. I bet Mommy is not looking forward to going back to school. She will miss her buddy during the day! I look forward to getting to see you later this month if you have time when visiting your Grandparents in Salina. With our hugs and kisses...Deanna and Chuck

Absolutely love the new cover picture! Carson is growing into a fine young man. And I absolutely enjoyed hearing the good news about the most recent checkup. Yes time heals all wounds and it is amazing what their young minds forget--but also what they remember--about all of the earlier tests and pokes. So happy that things are going well for all of you! You are always in my thoughts and prayers.

Dearest Carson, I love your new pictures! You are growing so tall and more handsome every day! (If that is possible!) I am looking forward to good news after your June checkup at Children's Mercy. I expect you will let those doctors know exactly how you feel about all those scans this time, honey! But those scans are what you and your Mommy and Daddy have to go through to be sure that nasty cancer stuff is staying away! Keep being brave, little guy....Love you much, Deanna

We are still working on new words to her single word sentences! Such a miracle boy to have you so healthy and wise! You enjoy your 2-year old independence, honey! Have a fun week-end...maybe you will even see the Easter Bunny! Sometime when you are in Salina this summer ask you Mommy if you can come over and swim with us!

My Dearest little Hero, what wonderful news this morning regarding your x-ray and bone scan! I was a bit late in getting into your website and finding such special news...but your Mommy certainly made my day today! Now you and your Mommy and Daddy can have a wonderful, fun several months with no scans. And by the time June comes around, you will really be able to tell those doctors what you think of them! I know you and your family have enjoyed this wonderful weather this January (we won't talk about the KU/K-State game this week-end)....so until I get to see you again, have fun and stay healthy! Love you, honey...Deanna

Looking at these new pictures help me to have faith that all further tests will only verify how healthy you are now, little cowboy! Thank you for the beautiful new family picture...it will go up in my office after the holidays. Our love to you this beautiful holiday, Deanna and Chuck

Matt, Kristi, and Carson - we just know that everything will be just fine with the further tests. If the oncologist isn't worried, then you shouldn't either...but, it is a natural thing for parents to worry. Carson is just the picture of health...everything will be fine. God's peace and love be with you this Christmas season and always....

Dearest Carson, give your Mommy a big hug for the wonderful update she sent to all of your fans! Such a special little guy you are...and so smart! I was so relieved to hear the results, I think. I know it is wonderful that the tumor markers are good and CT is normal, but there is always that "but" that is scary. You are so fortunate to have such a smart Mommy and Daddy...it sounds logical that the MMR vaccination could have had an effect on the MIBG, but we will all rest easier when the X-ray and bone scans are done and rule out any new problems. I guess you just like to add a little suspense to our Christmas, right? I like to believe that the season of miracles will continue to let my littlest hero sail through all the follow up tests with flying colors! And if I am especially lucky, I will get to see you soon..........Love you much, little "cowboy"! Deanna

Salina, KS USA - Tuesday, December 13, 2005 1:46 PM CST
Dearest Carson, I am thinking of you today, and wishing you were on your way to visit Santa instead of that hospital and more scans! You will be telling them what you think of it, too, I am sure! But when I think of how far you have come from one year ago; and how important it is to keep on top of your progress, I know we have to be grateful that you have such wonderful doctors and nurses with equipment to ensure your health. And what a lucky little boy to have a Daddy that understands the technology and your Mommy that has taught you such advanced communication skills! Your scan technicians may have second thoughts about those communication skills today, but that is okay, honey....you let them know what you think of it, anyway! I will be waiting anxiously for the results, and praying for continuing good news for my favorite little hero. Christmas is a time of miracles, and your spirit, intelligence and vitality is the most wonderful of miracles for all of us who are fortunate enough to know and love you!
We look forward to hearing from you through your Mommy and Daddy soon....with our love and prayers always, Deanna and Chuck

Dearest Carson, what awesome news! And what a big boy you are getting to be...and so handsome! You have such good taste in your choice for sweatsuits, honey...KU all the way! Smart too, aren't you! I bet you do give your doctors and nurses a time when they have to do more scans. But it is so important that they keep on top of it; and they do know that you have more fun things to do! I know you are enjoying this beautiful football weather with your Dad. I have been thinking of you as it gets closer to Halloween. You will have a lot more fun this year (and so will Mommy and Daddy!) Tell Mommy and Daddy thank you for the wonderful new pictures. I love the ones of you in the pumpkin patch, and it was neat to get to see you with your Dr. Max....I will look forward to hearing more good news in December, Carson. You and your family have a fantastic Thanksgiving...your fan club has special thanks this year ...for your good health and continued successful tests!

Kristi and Matthew, you have found strength and love beyond your greatest dreams. Little Carson, you have become a hero to hundreds of fans who have come to know and love you....letting us become a part of your life as we try to provide our support and prayers. And the awesome results! The success of your treatments and the handsome, healthy little boy that we all get to enjoy through your website and pictures...tell your story better than I can try to put into words. As we celebrate today, for Carson's incredible recovery, we also know that this day will never be forgotten for the overwhelming fear of the unknown a year ago....be so proud of yourself, Carson, and your Mommy and Daddy. You are a beautiful, awesome family! Thank you for letting us share your year and renew our faith. With our love and prayers forever, Deanna and Chuck Morgan

Carson and family!
I just stopped in to check on you all! I hope Carson is growing like a weed and feeling wonderful! A year ago today, your lives were forever changed by the dreaded news of Carson having NB. For me, the date of diagnosis is still a struggle. I catch myself looking at the clock and remembering what Madelyn (and our family) was going through at that particular time. I am sure the diagnosis date will never be just a regular day. Please know that I am thinking of you all today! I will continue to keep Carson and your family close to my thoughts and prayers! I love all the pictures of him! He is SOOO precious!! (((Sending big hugs!)))

We're so happy his test results have came back looking good and that he won't have to endure anything invasive for a well. He's absolutely precious, truly a miracle. Hugs to each of you.

Hey, guys! Was just on the net and felt an urge to check Carson's site. What wonderful news!! Carson is our own little miracle boy!! Proof that prayer is powerful! So glad to hear that he continues to have a clean bill of health!
How fun that he is walking! See, Kristi...I told you he'd get the hang of it. Watch out Mom and Dad....you'll be on your toes now! Walking AND talking! Whew! We STILL need to get Carson and Olivia together! I know that Liv will think Carson is REALLY cute!
I'm still getting sad to think of Kristi not coming back to Ottawa! It just won't be the same without you. BUT I wish you lots of luck in your new position. It will be an exciting time for you.
Keep in touch, guys! Hugs to Carson!

Carson, you have grown so much! Such a handsome, healthy little guy. I was so anxious to see pictures of you at the Lake, and they are great! Isn't it fun to be walking...actually, it looks like you are running! You will really keep your Mommy and Daddy busy, now! (And those doctors and nurses, too...). It is such a blessing and miracle that your tests have all come back GOOD! I know you won't miss having to see doctors and nurses so often, and each time you will be able to verbalize exactly what you have been trying to tell them since you were 5 months old. August 23, 2005 will be a day of grateful prayers from all of your fans. School will be starting, and you and your family have earned the time to enjoy living the hectic, but fun life of a young family. I will keep in touch, Carson. Give your Mommy and Daddy an extra hug from me today. With hugs and blow kisses always, Deanna

Dearest Carson, I expect you will be getting home from your vacation soon, with lots of fish stories! You couldn't be one of the "Toews guys" without a few fish stories. I was so pleased that your Dad sent me the article from the Lawrence Journal "spotlighting" my little hero! It was a wonderful article, with neat pictures of you and your Mommy and Daddy. Thank you for sharing it with me! You are getting so many fans that we should have our own "Carson Livestrong" bracelet! Enjoy the end of your special summer...I will check in later for updates and pictures. Thinking of you...with hugs and blow kisses, Deanna

Dearest Carson, what fun you and Mommy and Daddy are having this week! The Lake of the Ozarks has always been a favorite vacation spot for my family, too....your Daddy will be teaching you to fish, and Mommy will be teaching you to swim! I was thrilled to hear that the CT scan was good...and will be looking forward to more good news as you continue to pass those tests to prove that your cancer is gone forever! Oh yes, please tell Mommy and Daddy that pictures of you at the Lake would be fun! I hope you catch your first fish and show your Daddy and Uncles just what a real fisherman you are! Love you much, Deanna

Carson, just a note to let you know I have been thinking of you this week. More scans on Tuesday and Wednesday! I hope everything went smoothly and on schedule (as much as possible for these hospitals!). After all, you have much better things to do than sit around waiting on those doctors, right! We are looking forward to more good news...stay cool this week-end. Swimming may be the sport of choice this week! Love you much, Deanna

Dearest Carson, such wonderful news to start the new week! With another bone scan looking good, as well as your HVA and VMA levels....we can really believe that you and your Mommy and Daddy are going to be able to enjoy your second year as the healthy little boy you deserve to be! And what fun! We will never take the blessing of your good health lightly....I will look forward to more good news after your CT and MIBG scans this week. Love you much...with hugs and blow kisses, Deanna

Dearest Carson, I was so late getting to our "Relay for Life" last Friday that I didn't get to see you and your Mommy. I walked around the track and did pick out two of your luminaries with your wonderful pictures on them! It would have been so awesome to get to see my little hero there in person, though....such a special event! Next year I will know more about it and we can "run" the track together! (I will try to keep up with you....) The one year anniversary of your diagnosis is coming up next month. You and your Mommy and Daddy have been so brave ....with so many achievements...that we will definitely be celebrating your special life and many fun and healthy years ahead! I will be looking forward to more good news later this month on your "scans"! Love you much, honey...hugs and "blow kisses" from Deanna

Dearest Carson, I was thinking of you today and was happy to see a new update on your website. Congratulations on the great oncology appointment Tuesday! How appropriate to receive such good news as we celebrate for you tonight with the "Relay for Life" in Salina! I will be looking forward to more good news after your radiology scans later this month. I enjoyed hearing about your new words and those all important first steps! You will be running soon and your Mommy and Daddy won't be able to keep up with you. Have a great week-end honey, and keep enjoying a fun summer with your family. Love you, Deanna

Thank you so much for signing Lily's guestbook. Their stories are so similar, it's crazy! I was reading through your journals, and realized that the first day you went home from the hospital is the day we went in (September 3)!! How weird is that!
Carson is such a cute little boy! I'm glad he is moving around so good that you no longer have physical therapy! What a blessing that must be! It's nice feeling like your life is getting back to "normal" a little bit!
I hope we can keep in touch! It sounds like we have a lot in common!

Carson,
I love your new pictures! Especially with you swimming! I had to remember to look for your scar...you can barely even see it!? So how are you going to attract the ladies now? I guess with your charming good looks and smile.
Hope you are enjoying your summer with mommy and helping her plant in the garden. Remind her that grubs and worms have protein and it is okay if you eat them!
Love, Tara

Dearest Carson, your new pictures are awesome! It looks like you and Avery are the best of friends! Isn't it great to be able to play with your cousins and get to enjoy real hugs and kisses! I thought about you last night on the 4th of July and knew you and your Mommy and Daddy would be enjoying the fantastic celebration of your cancer free days! I plan to get to Salina's "Relay for Life" this Friday in confirmation of our gratefulness for our little hero's SURVIVAL and healthy future. Love you much and think of you so often....Deanna P.S. Tell your Mommy that I get onto your website now to enjoy your pictures....even the old ones brighten my day!

Carson continues to get cuter and cuter every day! It's one of those things that you think could never happen -- he's as cute as he could ever be, but tomorrow you realize somehow he can. Just so long as he's only kissing cousins for now -- watch out for the ladies as he grows up! Wow! It was great to see you guys last month. I am only working on the weeknds, so I'm sad to say it will be awhile before I see you again! I still think of you often and am so happy to hear good news with each new post! I hope you are enjoying your summer months of freedom! One last thought -- I think Carson has moved up -- he's too big for the Gerber baby -- how about the Gerber graduate?

Dearest Carson, I just had to place a note in your guestbook for you to read as you get older concerning your website for the "Relay for Life" campaign in your honor this month! I am not sure who created it for you, but it is beautiful! The perfect picure was chosen to show everyone visiting your site what a special "survivor" you are. There is not a one of "Carson's Fans" who will be able to resist honoring you in your effort to help other children. You and your Mommy and Daddy have fought this disease so heroically the past year, you are a perfect success poster for other young families just beginning their fight! You had already surpassed your donation goal when I keyed into your website! Congratulations, my "hero" has done it again....We are so proud! Love you much, Deanna

You're right...no news is absolutely good news as far as illness goes. But it is great to hear how wonderfully Carson is doing (but we could tell that from our visit on Memorial weekend)....great pictures, too. He is adorable. Love to you all...

Dearest Carson, Such awesome news! It is super that your Mommy will take the time to keep your fans updated...even as you are doing so well! I didn't know it was possible, but you get more handsome everyday. Mommy and Daddy will have to fight off the little girls so that you can have some peace! Your pictures are beautiful.....I notice that you are already sharing graham crackers with a little girl friend. I must admit, that with all of the cancer scare, I forgot about the hypothyroidism. What special news that you are beating that scare off too! Your Grandma Toews let me know about your participating in "Relay for Life" this year....and there will definitely be a donation from Chuck and me in celebration of our little hero's fight against Neuroblastoma! We feel so honored to be able to share this fight with you, even in such a small way. You have a fun, wonderful celebration of summer this year with your Mommy and Daddy, Carson. We love you, Deanna and Chuck

Such happy news! I am delighted for all of you. Yes, it has been a long time since you updated your website and I've been checking in regularly; but I assumed that "no news is good news." I am envious that Carson can use sign language. How smart you are to teach him that skill at such a young age. They say that young children also learn other languages well at the early stages of their life. Enjoy yourselves and continue to have a "healthy" summer! ~Trula

Hi Kristi and Family,
I'm just checking in on Carson's site and hope no news is good news! I hope you are enjoying the beginning of a wonderful summer together. I thought I'd give you the web address for my school custodian's grandson, Gunner. He was just diagnosed with leukemia and is undergoing treatment at Children's Mercy. Take care and all of my good wishes for Carson's health.

Kristi: After seeing your mom and dad and brother and his fiance at the Rolling Hills Zoo last weekend, your mom sent a request to Randy for a donation for Relay for Life. He then forwarded it to me. I had no idea that your mom and son both had cancer. I read every entry on Carson's website. What a brave boy! And such a cutie! You and Matt are very special to have endured that roller coaster ride. My thoughts and prayers are with you for continued progress.

Dearest Carson, What a special day Saturday was, to get to meet you in person and see your very special Mommy and Daddy again! You are even more handsome than your pictures ...and such a sweetheart! Chuck and I loved being able to play ball with you and get acquainted well enough that you felt you could send us a "blow kiss" before you had to leave. You are standing up so well and ready to take that "step of faith" on your own before very long. Next time we see you I expect you will be able to chase Daisy everywhere. And we were so impressed with your "signing"! You have such a smart Mommy to teach you this neat communication....anyway, I want you to be able to read about our first visit when you are a little older and know that you will always definitely be my hero; and your biggest fan! Thank you, and your Mommy and Daddy, for sharing a part of your Memorial Day week-end with us. Seeing you looking so healthy and happy meant the world to us. Hugs and "blow kisses" from Deanna and Chuck

Dear Carson, Kristi and Matt....Such wonderful news this afternoon! Nothing like keeping everyone on their toes, Carson! I know you have been feeling so crummy, though, no matter what the doctors finally decide that you have! I am happy that you are feeling better. Maybe we will have a nice warm week-end so you can get out and enjoy the sunshine. Be sure to give your Mommy an extra big hug Sunday for her second Mother's Day.....she is so proud of her brave boy. With all of your tests coming back so well, she can enjoy the best mother's day ever! Have a special week-end, all of you! Love, Deanna

SALINA, KS United States - Thursday, May 5, 2005 1:47 PM CDT
Dearest Carson, such surprising and scary news! You just want to experience all of life's little ups and downs within your first couple of years, don't you! ER visits are scary for Mommy and Daddy, but not as scary as what you have already experienced, right? I am glad they caught the pneumonia early....and the fact that your scans from Friday look good....that is the news we have all been praying for! It will be hard for all of your fans to accept "normal" childhood sicknesses easily for you....because our Carson should not have to deal with anything after the fight you have staged against your cancer. No colds, measles, allergies, pneumonia.....I do hope you are feeling much better and can enjoy the warmer days this week. Love you, Deanna
Deanna and Chuck Morgan <dmorgan@srhc.com>
SALINA, KS United States - Tuesday, May 3, 2005 10:44 AM CDT
Thanks for the update and the cute new pictures. I am glad all the "serious" stuff if okay; but am sorry about the pneumonia--that can turn serious real fast, so I know little Carson is not out of the woods yet. Just when I thought Terra was "well" as she had just started sleeping through the night at 18 months of age, she developed pneumosistis (sorry, but I might have forgotten how to spell that correctly after all these years) pneumonia! Give Carson a big hug and I hope you both get some relief soon. You'll all be in my thoughts and prayers. ~Trula
Trula Harris <tharris@sctcu.kscoxmail.com>
Salina, KS USA - Monday, May 2, 2005 4:35 PM CDT
Dearest Carson, Kristi, and Matt....Such wonderful news! And how special that you are so prompt to keep us all updated. The pictures make us feel so close as we "see" what you are going through and how wonderfully you protect your special little guy. Carson, we were worried that after Mommy and Daddy had you drink all that yucky stuff, the doctors would say that your cold was too bad for the surgery! But you pulled it off again, and came through like the little trooper you are. It was good that you got to sleep through all those procedures! We are so relieved to hear that your jugular vein appears to be working to some extent, and are anxious to hear Dr. Max's interpretation. As a non-medical, caring "Carson's fan", I am having trouble with the thought of your blood not flowing as it should through such a critical vein....but we are thrilled that the port is out and you are another critical step closer to living the carefree days of other 1-year old little boys! I will be watching closely for the results of your scans next week! With our love and prayers, Deanna and Chuck
Deanna Morgan <angelina8401@hotmail.com>

Dearest Carson, Kristi and Matt, I want you to know that we will be thinking of you tomorrow for your scans and to have your port removed. I hope you have been getting along the past two weeks okay, especially after the bad scare a couple of weeks ago. I know it was better for you, Carson, to be able to have all the tests and the surgery all in the one day (and for Mommy and Daddy, too!) Our thoughts and prayers are with you. I am going to add Angie's email address to your website as it has been blocked out for me at my computer at work. I suppose they think I should be working instead of writing to you! But I will check on you through our home computer...and thinking of you at my desk! Love you much, Deanna

I didn't realize you had a pianist in the family....you will probably play the piano and trumpet! Actually, all of us "Carson fans" will be delighted as you continue to grow healthy and strong....and be everything you want to be! Love you much...thank your Mommy and Daddy for sharing with us!

Dear little Carson, you had a much better day yesterday than I was thinking! I am glad to hear that you will be able to enjoy these beautiful days right now and can wait until the rest of your tests (I have noted April 29 on my calendar) for the port removal. I would think it would be best to be completely over your cold, too, before another surgery. It is still worrisome to think about that clot, but I know that you have excellent doctors who will follow the best course for you. Have a nice week-end with your Mommy and Daddy...our prayers are with you always. Love, Deanna and Chuck
Deanna and Chuck Morgan <dmorgan@srhc.com>
SALINA, KS United States - Friday, April 15, 2005 9:12 AM CDT
Congrats on the great results Carson!! I'm so sorry to hear about your scare with the blood clot! That is really frightening! I hope Carson's already been through surgery to remove his port. I'll be sending extra prayers your way over the next couple of days!!
Kelsey <kelseyielliott@yahoo.com>
Houston, Tx - Thursday, April 14, 2005 4:37 PM CDT
Dearest Carson, Kristi and Matt....What a sad surprise today when I finally got a chance to check in and found that you had all, indeed, been on another "roller coaster"! I am so sorry, but it also looks like results that could have been really "bad" news, is good! Yes, it is sad when we are relieved that "all" that little Carson needs is another surgery! A major blood clot like that, in the jugular vein, still sounds scary to me. But you guys have been through so much, at least it is "fixable" as you explain. It is Thursday afternoon, so I hope you were able to get it scheduled and the procedure has been completed. And to think you had to have a nasty cold on top of it all, Carson! Spring and Summer, 2005 will really look good to all of you....and that port will already be out, so you won't have to deal with that anymore. I am hoping that after you are out of isolation and really feeling good this summer, I will get to meet you! You are truly my little hero, Carson! (And so are Mommy and Daddy!)......I am wishing you the very best in recovery today, honey. Love you, Deanna
Deanna and Chuck Morgan <dmorgan@srhc.com>
SALINA, KS United States - Thursday, April 14, 2005 1:43 PM CDT
Oh my, what a scare! But I am so happy that it is fixable and that everything else is okay. I know exactly what you mean by "it's only minor surgery"! How our perspective on life changes with an experience of this magnitude to a tiny loved one. Please know that my thoughts and prayers are with all of you as you endure yet another procedure. ~Trula
Trula Harris <tharris@sctcu.kscoxmail.com>
Salina, KS USA - Thursday, April 14, 2005 9:45 AM CDT
Carson, I am sad to hear that you have to go back into surgery...although it is nice to know that it is minor and surgery will fix the problem! So good to hear about your blood levels and that everything is what your mom and dad wanted to hear.
I do love your pictures...tell your mom to send more!
Love, Tara

Hello little Carson! I've been checking in on the website every day for a week or so, but I just haven't had time to create a response. I sure hope things are continuing to go well for you, but am concerned that there hasn't been an update for the last day or so. I know that I didn't like the roller coaster rides we had with Terra and her check-ups. (Terra to this day doesn't like roller coasters--the real thing!) One day was great, the next we weren't real sure, and another was a complete disaster. I am thinking of you all and praying for the best! Hang in there. ~Trula

So glad you had a terrific birthday and such great news about the recent tests. I love the new pictures, especially the last one. It looks to me like you are praying and giving "thanks" to God for the wonderful day and the good results on your tests. Your hands are somewhat folded and you are looking up to our faithful friend and eternal caregiver. May you continue to be blessed, this day and always. ~Trula

Hi Kristi! I saw your guestbook entry and wanted to let you know I've been having major problems with my email for weeks. I have included a new address for you to use. I am so glad to hear that Carson continues to do well. I laughed about trying to collect his urine, those bags are a joke! We always use the cotton balls. Isabella has her scan Friday (3/25). We will have the results for our meeting with the oncologist on the 29th. I will continue to pray for clear skies ahead for us all. Happy Early Birthday to Carson - what a very special occasion! Take care.

So happy with the recent check-up and good news Carson! But let me tell you, be happy you are a boy! Getting a urine sample is much more simple than getting one from a girl. I'm glad Terra was young enough that she doesn't remember all the horrible things that were done to her. I think you will find, Carson, that you won't remember any of this; but it will certainly be in your Mom's and Dad's memories forever! Enjoy your good health and have a Happy Birthday. Wishing you the best, now and forever. ~Trula

Dear Carson, such wonderful news this morning! I always get a chuckle out of your "not peeing on command"....how many of us do? And besides, honey, you have to continue keeping your Mommy and Daddy and all those doctors on their toes! Now you can look forward to your first birthday without anymore tests until April! You will be the star of the show at your baptism, as well you should be. Enjoy, as you make everyone's day with that beautiful smile! "Carson's fans" are enjoying all of your milestones; you have put up such a brave fight during this first year. Love you, Deanna

It is great to read more good news. Too bad it was a long day for you but I'm sure you didn't mind with all of the good reports. A friend of mine just had a beautiful little baby boy in February and his name is 'Carson'. Such a great name! I pray for your continued good health, good news and good life!

Dearest Carson, I was thinking of you this morning and thought I would check into your "picture gallery"....and what a pleasant surprise to see the new pictures of you! You are getting so grown up! And that smile.....it makes me smile all over! Of course, that new "sitting position" makes me hurt to even look at you...what a sweetheart! These beautiful days you can really enjoy with your Mommy and Daddy. Maybe you are in Salina this week-end and will get to go to the Circus? Give your Mommy and Daddy an extra big hug....just because they are so special. Love you, Deanna

I'm so glad that all 3 of you are doing so much better. I bet you can't wait for Spring weather so you and your parents can go outside to play.
Keep smiling because when you smile, everyone else smiles with you:)

Carson,
It must be nice to have a normal childhood illness like a crummy cold and ear infection. Okay, you’re right it’s never fun to be sick. But you look great I mean common your doing the splits. Your scare seems to be heeling nicely, don’t tell your mom and dad but that will be great conversation to pick up the girls when your in college. But, you won’t need much help in that department with that cute smile and those sparkling baby blue eyes. It’s so nice to see you healthy and happy. Keep having your mom and dad update us on your progress and have fun being a normal kid:)
And now that things have slowed down a bit tell your mama I'd love to talk to her. The only way I have to get ahold of her is in your jornal.

I'm so happy to hear the good news! You know, isolation at the doctor's office isn't such a bad thing. I love the new pictures. Carson, you have such big beautiful eyes. The picture with you doing the splits reminds me of just the other day when I was taking my new little Jack Russell terrier for a walk. We cut across the yard and the grass was just slick enough for one foot to slip! Oh my did it hurt and it took a while for me to get up. Good thing we live in the country and no one saw me, as I'm sure I didn't look as good or as comfortable as you do in that picture! Take good care of yourselves and I'll keep checking in periodically. ~Trula

Dearest Carson, Kristi, and Matthew....I am estatic! What wonderful news to hear as I end my day today!! I checked in just to take a peek at your pictures and to see if maybe the urine test results were back. And it was great to hear that all is getting back to "normal" in the Toews' home! It certainly doesn't seem fair that you have to suffer the normal baby illnesses after all that you have been through, Carson....but it does add to the normalcy of your life now. This is a beautiful day today, and as Spring and Summer arrive, I hope you have fewer cases of these colds and ear aches...they are no fun at all! Have a wonderful week-end as I hope you are feeling good enough to enjoy the fresh air and warm sunshine. With our love and prayers always, Deanna and Chuck

Dear Carson, I see that you finally gave your Mommy and Daddy that sample again for another test...won't it be great when these doctors quit wanting all these samples from you! But the waiting game is hardest for your Mommy and Daddy and all of your other fans. We are all so anxious for verification that your little body has thrown off all of those yucky cancer cells...and fighting to keep them out! Isn't it fun being with all your friends again? Be sure to remember to keep those little girls away from you...no kissing little girls who might have yucky germs! Love you, Carson....Deanna

My little hero! Dear Carson, I am so thrilled with the wonderful news...hopefully this 2nd urine sample will prove to be just where the doctors want it, too. You certainly look like the picture of health....I was hoping for new pictures and your Mommy and Daddy are so great to keep all of your fans updated! Even your scar looks good....what a lady killer you are going to be. (And already are!) We are so happy for all of you. You are a much loved little boy, and so very brave! Other Mommys and Daddys tell me how they hate to take their little ones in for an immunization because they have to get stuck! They can't begin to know how brave you and your Mommy and Daddy are! I will be keeping in touch and anxious to hear how the HVA and VMA levels come out...Love you much, Deanna
Deanna and Chuck Morgan <dmorgan@srhc.com>
SALINA, KS United States - Wednesday, February 9, 2005 9:09 AM CST
Absolutely love the new pictures, especially the one in the stripped shirt. He looks so much like a little man! A handsome one too! Love to hear more good news, and am recalling the situations with the immunizations and urine samples. Terra couldn't have ANY immunizations until after she turned three. During that time there were outbreaks of some of those diseases because many parents were not getting their children immunized. As a parent of a child whose health did not allow her to be immunized, I was really angry that there were irresponsible parents that could ultimately put my child in great danger with their negligence. We were lucky though, and chicken pox was something we were fortunate to avoid until it was "safe" for her to contract them. I am elated for you now that you can enjoy a more normal life with each other and with other family members and friends. Count your blesssings and enjoy! Always, Trula

Yeah Carson! See! I told you it would be good news! Looks like mom and dad need to potty train you soon to make the urine samples easier. Funny, how you pee on them when they don't want you to, but you don't when they need you to. Hmmm. You look fabulous in all of your pictures! You have your mommy's hair color!

So glad to read the good news! I have your webpage bookmarked and check it regularly...reading about your little guy's struggles (and yours as well) make me realize just how much love we have our our little ones (and how those of us who haven't gone through what you have, sometimes take our children's health for granted!). I'm part of MOMs Club South and I'm really looking forward to meeting you all (now that you can get out and play). Hope to see you soon!

Thank you for allowing all of us to follow you and pray you through this journey. I was just praying this morning that the dr.s say no more chemo and then look at the news I get. Our God is AWESOME!! :-) I will continue to pray for positive news from all tests in the future.

Dearest Carson, Kristi and Matthew.....here I have the news we have been waiting on for so long and I don't know what to say! I am sitting here at work, at my desk, with the happiest of tears running down my cheeks! Yes, sweet Carson, you will find that women can be funny creatures...when we are the happiest, and want to shout from the rooftops, we bawl, instead! Your Mommy and Daddy have found strengths I am sure they never knew they had. And none of "Carson's fans" will ever take the health of our children for granted. Every test, every scan, will be scary for Mommy and Daddy as you continue to take them in stride, just a part of your little life for you! But with no more chemo you can enjoy the normalcy of a beautiful baby boy learning to crawl, walk, and celebrate that first birthday in just a few months! What a celebration that will be! I will have to keep in touch....and have a special contact through Grandma and Grandpa Toews. Thank God as he has answered our prayers. With our love always, as you, and your Mommy and Daddy, are our heroes today! Deanna and Chuck Morgan

Dear Kristi and Matthew...what a disappointment for you both; not to be able to get any answers! I hope today is a good one for you and Carson's surgeon will have some options to discuss with you, depending on the tests' outcomes. It doesn't seem to me like slick roads should be a factor in delaying a meeting with the parents of such a special baby! And little Carson, now you had to come down with a cold like so many are having to deal with now. We were all hoping you would be able to escape the "normal childhood illnesses"! You have been so brave about fighting off the "tough" stuff...but a cold can be so "yucky"! Continue to "hang tough"...all of you. We pray for good news soon! Love, Deanna

Don't really understand this last post...hopefully the news from the nurse isn't too alarming. What a GREAT dr. to check with other specialists for treatment info and suggestions.

Dearest Carson, what an important little guy! I was pleased to hear that you even have doctors in Australia working for you! You see how special you really are...and how wonderful that your doctors and nurse have been working through the holiday to try to get some resolution for you and your Mommy and Daddy. You are in good hands, especially with a Mommy and Daddy who love you so much. I cannot imagine how frustrating this waiting is for them...but at least they will know that your specialists are doing everything they can to be sure to make the best decisions for you. We will be checking in each day and praying for the best in a New Year for you and your family. Love, Deanna and Chuck

Dearest Carson, Kristi and Matthew....what a wonderful surprise this morning to come in and see that you are not on your way to KC again! I cannot imagine your frustration that these departments such as anesthesia and radiology cannot seem to be able to maintain a timely schedule; especially when young children are involved. I don't blame you, Carson, for complaining about fasting for practically a whole day! Chuck and I are just amazed at how familiar you are becoming with all these hospital procedures! The needles, ports, lights, tubes are all a part of your day! You and Mommy will have such a good day today...eating and sleeping without being sedated! Yes, "Carson Fans" are waiting for the best news of this New Year .....that our brave boy is cancer-free! You and your Mommy and Daddy can enjoy looking forward to your first birthday and the special joys of raising a healthy, but special, little boy!
HAPPY NEW YEAR! We love you, Deanna and Chuck

Carson, you are getting to be such an old hand at this hospital "stuff" and all the tests! I had missed the fact that you had to change hospitals for these tests...I know that was hard for Mommy and Daddy! We KU fans like to think that anything "KU" is going to be "okay", but when it comes to our little ones and hospitals, nothing can be taken for granted! It was good to hear that overall everything went okay and you were so good! I am praying for a better day today for you and your Mommy and Daddy. It sounds like you are learning to be quite the little flirt! Loves and hugs, Deanna

Dearest Carson, Kristi and Matthew, I am glad to know that you were able to get little Carson's tests rescheduled for next week. As hard as waiting is, it also does not seem right to delay getting this brave little boy back on chemo so that the last of those cancer cells can be destroyed once and for all! We continue to pray that the second round of tests will show that there is no need for additional treatment; but it is too scary to think that the need is there and is being delayed due to a holiday! Carson, you are so fortunate to have such a smart Mommy and Daddy! Have a fun Christmas with Grandmas, Grandpas, Uncles, Aunts, and cousins, Carson....I have my new picture here in my office, along with the one of you as a celebrity from the newspaper! Love you much....and the 28th, 29th, and 30th are now marked on my calendar. I hope you and your parents will feel the love and the prayers. Deanna

Dearest Carson, Kristi and Matthew..I was anxious to get into my computer today after being out of the office yesterday. I have mixed emotions about the delay, thankful that you didn't have to spend this week in the hospital and can enjoy the last few days leading up to Carson's first Christmas; but disgusted with the fact that the hospital did not even call you about the delay. It is good that you called them before you left...Enjoy your Christmas holiday and we will all continue praying for Carson and for wonderfully good news early in the New Year! Love to you all, Deanna

Dearest little Carson, Kristi and Matthew...we are sending "Super Prayers" this week...MIBG scans to show no more cancer cells for our brave Carson! Your fans know by now that you will do whatever is necessary to get rid of those final cells if that is what your doctors see; but how we pray for news of a cancer free Christmas for you, Carson!
Thank you all for the beautiful family picture..it is hard to believe what the three of you have gone through the past few months....you are beautiful (and handsome!). Carson, I am sure you and your DAddy watched the Chiefs pull out their miraculous victory this week-end....now we will wait for news of your own victory over this cancer! I pray this week goes well and as quickly as possible for you. Love you, Deanna

Kristi, Matt, and little Trooper Carson,
Just checking in on all of you. Will be praying extra hard this week that the MIBG scans show no new cancer cells. Carson has come such a long ways in his treatment. It just seems fitting that he should get a Cancer free Christmas.
Hang in there. Hope to see you guys sometime soon!
hugs,

TX - Friday, December 17, 2004 9:01 AM CST
Dearest Carson, I understand you have more tests next week and so Mommy and Daddy won't be able to feed you again! That has got to be so hard for you to understand. I am the one who needs that diet! But it should be all over with by the time Christmas comes and you can enjoy those mashed potatoes and pumpkin pie! I am sure Santa will want to share his cookies and milk with you, too....you have been such a good and brave little boy. I have asked Santa for the best wish ever, that all of "Carson's fans" will get our wish for positive results next week and a healthy prognosis by Christmas for our STAR! Enjoy this week-end, honey, with your Mommy and Daddy....all of what Christmas is about for little boys...bright twinkling lights, cookies, loves, hugs, kisses and PRAYERS. Love you much, Deanna

Dear Carson and Family,
I found your link on the NB List. I just wanted you to know that I will keep you all close to my thoughts and prayers. Carson is such a beautiful little boy!! And his beauty marks on his tummy....will be a life long reminder of the journey he traveled, and the blessing it has brought. For that is how I see Madelyn's, (my daughter) beauty marks. Madelyn was diagnosed with Stage 4 when she was 15 weeks old. She is now almost 5 and she is so happy and healthy. I will hold you all close to my heart, that in four years, you will be signing someone else's guestbook, writing the same thing. Wishing all of you the Merriest Christmas and a very Happy New Year! May God continue to bless your family! ((Sending you big hugs!!))

St. Cloud, MN - Thursday, December 16, 2004 8:34 PM CST
Dearest Carson, isn't it fun feeling better so that you can enjoy all the fun of your first Christmas! I hope that the test next week will verify that you are almost cancer free...and maybe any additional chemo can wait until after Christmas (I know, Daddy and Mommy, you don't want to wait too long if that is what it takes to get rid of those last few cancer cells!). I think about you often as I know how beautiful the lights are in Kansas City at Christmas....you tell Santa that you are the best boy ever! Love you, Deanna
Deanna and Chuck Morgan <dmorgan@srhc.com>
SALINA, KS United States - Thursday, December 16, 2004 4:28 PM CST
Yea!!! I'm so glad to hear Carson is doing so well. He's such a tough little boy. I hadn't written in a while and wanted to let you know I'm still thinking about you all.

Abilene, TX USA - Thursday, December 16, 2004 3:54 PM CST
Yes, I remember. It is like day vs night with their behavior when they are on chemo and off chemo. By the way, Terra didn't sleep through the night until she was about 18 months old! And then I found out it was because she had pneumosistis (sorry, but I've forgotten how to spell that) pneumonia and was totally exhausted from just trying to breathe! That type of pneumonia is what one gets while on chemo and it is a bacteria that covers the lungs and doesn't let them expand as you breathe. Terra only showed a little cough, but did I ever feel stupid! Here's hoping Carson will be well enough to sleep through the night soon. Good luck next week and Merry Christmas to all! ~Trula

Just checking in again. I've checked several times, but have had to back out before I was able to write a message. Isn't it amazing how these sick babies are able to bounce back after major surgery? Terra was sitting up in bed and playing within hours of a lung biopsy. The nurse told us that if an adult had gone through the same surgery, they would have been flat on their back in bed for at least 3 days. I guess the difference is our babies really don't know what "feel good" feels like! I'm as anxious as you are to hear the results of the surgery, etc. As hard as it gets at times, hold your heads up and remember to celebrate even the littliest success. You are constantly in my thoughts and prayers, and remember to give Carson an extra hug from me every day. Thanks! ~Trula

Dearest Carson, Kristi and Matthew, What wonderful news! I was lucky to get to visit with Grandpa Toews briefly this week-end as he went through Dillards. Carson, you are such an incredible little boy! I don't know many adults who could go through what you have with such bravery and wonderful spirit! You seem to know what a special family you have and as long as they are beside you, you can fight off all those yucky cancer cells. Just a few more to go, honey...pull in all your strength and get rid of that last 3%....we already now you can master anything! Enjoy a wonderful week getting ready for Christmas and Santa Claus! Love you, Deanna

Hi, guys! Just had to check in on that precious, handsome boy. I will admit that I cried when I read how he could only whimper after surgery and how he needed to know that Mommy and Daddy were there. Poor little guy.....he's been through so much in his little life so far. He is a trooper though....a heartbreaking, handsome trooper and, to me, he is a little hero. His parents are heroic, too!
But, Carson looks so great! I'm so glad that the incision is healing quickly! I will be praying hard that you get nothing but good reports and a clean bill of health for your little man.
Glad you are home and sleeping in your own beds.
Will keep checking in. Hope you get your news tomorrow.
PS...Michaela thinks Carson is a really cute baby!

Hello Kristi, Matt, and Carson,
We're heartened to hear the surgery went well. We know that as Carson's parents, his large incision is alarming, but we think it allowed the doctors to work unhindered, so they got done what they set out to do. One thing we've noted about Carson is that, as little as he is, he's quite a fighter. He's going to come out the other end of this whole experience tough, healthy, and happy! We'll continue to pray for you three. Hang in there!

Good to hear about the surgery. At least he'll have a scar to show off to all of the girls! What a tough little guy. I have a friend whose baby went through open heart and you can barely see his scar now (he is currently three). We'll pray for a positive result from the pathologist.

We appreciated the note from your Mommy and Daddy explaining what your doctors will be doing today. It sounds like so much for such a little guy! But what a brave little guy....I bet the Chiefs won that game yesterday to give you a great "send-off" into your surgery this morning. We can't all be there in person for you and your Mommy and Daddy today, but we will be right there in that waiting room with them in our hearts and prayers! Hang in there, honey, you are our HERO! With all our love, Deanna and Chuck

Dear Kristi, Matt, & Carson,
We will continue to pray for a successful surgery tomorrow! We will specifically pray for the complete removal of all of the tumors from Carson's body and for God to surround you with peace and patience as the surgery is performed. As a mommy, I know that it's not easy to see your baby go through difficult times, but know that God is ALWAYS with you & He has the perfect plan already figured out...so there is nothing to worry about! We look forward to seeing Carson around the holidays & we believe he will receive his perfect Christmas present - to be cancer free!
We'll be waiting for the update tomorrow after the surgery.
Love,
Kelsey, Matt, & Jonathan

Dearest Carson, Matt and Kristi, I had to send a note before I leave work for the day to remind you that you will be in our prayers constantly on Monday. Carson, you will be in the heart of all of your fans Monday...if we could be there we would be a noisy bunch, "rooting" for your doctors to get that last tumor out of your little body so that you can get on to the business of growing up into a healthy, happy little boy! If you listen closely, you will hear our shouts of joy from the East Coast..to the West, with a loud roar from Kansas! Kristi and Matt, give an extra hug to your beautiful son from the Morgans!

Kristi, Matt & Carson,
I like many of your mama's alpha chi sisters learned with the most recent news letter of your struggles this year. I went through and read each and every journal entry and am so proud of you and your mommy & daddy for being so brave. There are no words to describe how much my heart aches for your family and how hopeful I am that that your surgery on Dec 6th will leave you with a clean bill of health. I will say a special prayer that God protects you during your surgery and another to give your mommy and daddy the strength to make it through these last few days. I’ll ask Santa if he can bring a clean bill of health and some calmness to your family on your very first Christmas. God Bless.

Dear brave little Carson, We are so proud of you! Drinking all that yucky stuff like a little trooper. You are trying to help Mommy and Daddy, aren't you! I am glad that you were able to "doze" through all of those tests. Your poor Mommy and Daddy, I cannot even imagine how worried they have been. They had so much good news, and we can only continue to pray that the bone scan comes out clean. We will look forward to hearing that this "uptake" is showing up because you are growing into such a big boy so quickly! I guess you know what we are asking from Santa for you this very first, important, Christmas! My thoughts and prayers are with you and your Mommy and Daddy always.....Love you, Deanna

Kristi, Matt, and the brave trooper, Carson....
So glad that everything went smoothly today for all of you. It sounds like very positive news and so much to be thankful for. To be quite honest, I had no idea that Carson had so many other tumors! I don't know where I've been 'cause I think I've been pretty religious about staying up on Carson's progress. I almost felt sick to my stomach to read of all the tumors in his little body. What a blessing to know that almost all are GONE! I will just continue to pray for more positive news and that the best news will be no more chemo and a CANCER-FREE Christmas for the Toews family.
You are in my thoughts and prayers every day......

I have always said that your family are people you would normally never meet. You get to choose your friends. I have been so blessed to have your mother as a friend, even through the rough times and long distance, she has always been there. I know that God gave you to her and your dad for a reason. They are both very caring, loving, and fun people. I know they will always love and cherish you. You have given them so much love and light in these few past months than you will ever know. You are their little sunshine.
I'll be praying hard for you, for your tests, your surgery and recovery.

Dearest Carson, you and your Mommy and Daddy are in our prayers today! All of your fans will be looking forward to hearing what a strong little heart you have....hopefully, not even that chemo could harm it! What a good sign that you are finally getting some restful sleep, no matter what time of day it is! (I hope Mommy is napping with you!) I knew you would love that KU/Missouri football game this week-end. What a year, KU football beating both K-State and Missouri this season...you brought them good luck! And with KU basketball starting out well, too...now we will hope your Dad gets to see the Chiefs play well today. It will be wonderful for him to actually be in the stadium to enjoy the game whether they win or not. And next time, maybe you can go,too! Have a good day, honey, then you can be home to test those new toothies on your first turkey drumstick! Love you, Deanna

Hi,
I've been keeping up with your little Carson since he was diagnosed. I signed the guestbook once or twice before. My niece, Eliza, is also undergoing chemotherapy, but for a brain tumor. She just turned a year old, and we've noticed that her counts dip at unexpected times when she's teething. Since you said Carson was teething, that may account for the dip. Just thought that might make you feel a little better. I know that any time something different occurs, it unnerves us a bit, and it seems to help to know it's happened to someone else, too! I'll keep Carson in my prayers and look forward to the day that I read that Carson is cancer-free!

Dearest Carson, I was so relieved to see this morning that your tooth came through and your fever is gone! Everything has been tough for you these first few months....the next 6 months have got to be good! I know you have a lot of tests coming up on the 30th, and it seems like you have a test on your heart next Tuesday. We will all be praying that the chemo has done all the things it is supposed to....and not affected your little body in any of the ways it should not!
Be sure to remind Daddy of the KU BASKETBALL game tonight. KU will really be able to show you a good game with their basketball! Have a good week-end, honey, and don't kiss too many of those little girls! (Girls can be germy, you know!) Love you much, Deanna

Dearest little Carson, I guess I just cannot stay away....I had the day off from work yesterday but thought about you all day, hoping that the transfusion was making you feel stronger. I hope that toothy comes through this week so that your fever will go away. Next week will be a big week...your first Thanksgiving! I am sure your Grandpas and Grandmas will be there to help you celebrate. And those mashed potatoes and gravy will make you feel so good!
I will pray for good news today...and will check in tomorrow. Love you, Deanna

Dearest Carson, I had to write a big "thank you" for the new pictures today! Your picture with that "handsome" smile was perfect....and your Grandmas are so proud in their pictures with you! I got to visit with your Grandpa Toews Friday evening. I happened to see him in Dillard's ...it was great to get to hear more news of you first-hand. It hurts to hear of all of your bruising and know that you are still suffering. Hopefully after tomorrow they will be able to do more to help you. I will keep checking in ...our prayers are always with you. Love you, Deanna

Dearest Carson, I know I was trying to stay away, but I just had to let you know that I do check in everyday. I guess I was too optimistic thinking that your would be enjoying a smooth couple of weeks before your next tests! Your parents are going to be able to get their specialists degrees....I am so impressed with their ability to spell the titles they have put on these horrible things that keep trying to pull you down! I am so sorry that you have had such a tough week. And so surprised to hear of the decision for surgery in December. We won't forget to pray, honey...you will be a well baby by Christmas! Love you, Deanna

Dear Carson,
I am sorry to hear that you have to have surgery. Hopefully, it'll take away all of that nasty cancer. I am also sad to hear about the VRE. I know your parents will be persistant enough to find out what is going on with you. Meanwhile enjoy them celebrating Halloween every time you see them. It is a good thing your spirits are still up, keep them up there! We love you.

Dearest Carson, I know, I promised that I would not be writing again until later in November, but I just found out last night that were a "star" in the Ottawa Herald newspaper last week! What fun! Chuck brought home a copy that your Grandma had put on the internet yesterday. It had a beautiful picture of you and your Mommy that I am putting up in my office. You are going to have a wonderful scrapbook to remind you of how brave you have always been...even before you begin making the headlines for your high school tennis and band! And who knows, as tough as you have had to be, you may help to bring those Jayhawks to a winning football season! You can make note of the fact today that our basketball team is rated #1 this pre-season! Let's hope they can live up to the ranking, honey. Have a good day....and we will visit again as the 22nd comes around and you begin your tests to see how very well you are! I will enjoy your picture each day until we visit next.....Love you, Deanna

Hello Kristie, Matt, and Carson,
Sorry that it's been a while since we last wrote but we've been following Carson's progress, thanks to this Web site. We're thrilled to see that the little guy is getting stronger all the time, and that even his doctor can't detect his liver. He's come a long way since his liver was so enlarged that you couldn't lift his legs. That darn port seems to cause a lot of grief but then, doing the chemo would be a lot tougher without it, huh? As strong as Carson has been, I bet his heart will look just great when they do the echocardiogram and EKG later this month. We'll be praying that his MRI, CT, bone scan, and bone marrow aspiration will come out negative, too, so you can put that whole sordid chemo business behind you. We enjoy the photos, and we'd have to admit that some of Lina's and Anthony's early Halloween costumes weren't such great hits, either. We definitely DO like the Jayhawks wardrobe, though! We'll be thinking of the three of you, and praying, as you go through those tests. Take care!

Dearest Carson, I knew we had good news this morning when I opened your website and your Mommy had written your journal in RED, trimmed in jelly beans! Two weeks at home won't be bad compared to those hospital stays, right?! And besides, you can watch football all week-end with Dad...trying to boost those Jayhawks to another win! We look forward to more good news after your tests on the 22nd and again on the 30th. Enjoy the next couple of weeks with your Mommy, Daddy, and Grandmas and Grandpas! Tell Daddy to put a sign on the front door...."No germs allowed"! I am going to sign off now and won't be sending my silly little notes every day. You are getting all well and strong and will be able to play and do more fun things than typing and reading email notes! I did love your personal note, though! Such a smart boy! Love you much....Deanna

You have been so brave and have had to go through more than most of us have to go through in a lifetime. Your Mommy and Daddy have been so wonderful, too. You are a lucky little boy, even if it doesn't seem that way with so many "sticks" the past few months. Hopefully the next couple of days will be more peaceful and you can go back home on Thursday. Then we can wait and pray for good news after your tests on the 30th. Thank your Daddy for us, for this update. Talk to you later, Love, Deanna

Dear Kristie, what wonderful news! Everything is really looking up for Carson and for all of you. And it is about time! I am so glad that you get to enjoy Halloween. What a precious bumblebee Carson will be. I hope you get some pictures to send on his website. You have all of us "Carson fans" spoiled with the wonderful pictures. Have a wonderful week-end and we will continue to pray for Nov 2 to be Carson's last chemo! Love you, Deanna

Oh Carson! How clever to be a bumblebee for Halloween! You can go around stinging everyone with that stinger and see if they cry! You should go sting the doctors and nurses at the hospital, sting the health care worker who comes to your house, and sting Dad if he's the one who's giving you shots at home! Actually, after all the stings you've had you probably wouldn't want anyone else to have to get stung would you?

Dear Carson, I love the new pictures! Your Chief's outfit is perfect! I know you gave them the boost they needed last week.....hopefully they can keep it up now. Such a big boy, trying to cut teeth and handle chemo all at the same time. You keep trying and I bet you will have that little tooth cut through before next Tuesday! Do you think Mommy would let Daddy have the camera to take a picture of the two of you, too? Tell her that she doesn't have to wear a KU jersey, as long as she doesn't put you in purple! Keep working at that tooth, and I will check in with you on Thursday. I will be out of the office tomorrow...Love, Deanna

I have been trying to keep up with what is happening, and I am so happy that Carson remains strong and is doing well overall.

Hi Carson! I had a nice talk with your mom yesterday. It sounds like you are growing up just fine! I like your picture with your feet up...my Carson does the exact same thing...just kick'n around. I am glad to see that you like football, it is hard to watch a good game out here in the east. You take care of yourself, I know you'll be just fine. Give your mommy and daddy plenty of hugs and kisses.

Dearest Carson, I sure hope you and your Dad were able to watch that Chiefs game yesterday! I know it sure put my son in a good mood....they finally got it together and put on a good game for you! It was such a beautiful week-end. I thought about you and your Mommy and Daddy and was hoping that you were feeling more like getting outside and enjoying this "pumpkin weather"! Love, Deanna

Dearest Carson, I hope you are feeling better as the week has gone on and will be able to enjoy a relaxing week-end with Mommy and Daddy. Daddy will be home and looking forward to some "guy time" while Mommy can relax knowing that you are in good hands with your Dad. I know KU has a tough game this week-end, but I don't know if it is going to be on TV or not. Have a good day today, honey, and I pray that you are more comfortable and can enjoy some tickles and giggles! Give Mommy and Daddy big hugs.....Love, Deanna

You continue to be in our prayers. I know it must be so draining at times as you all call on your physical and emotional reserves to meet the ongoing challenges of getting Carson well again.
Close your eyes, lean back and feel all the love and energy coming your way from the multitude of friends and family who care about you.

Dear little Carson, I feel so badly for you, and your Mommy and Daddy. I can only pray that "something" will begin to make you feel better soon. Our small words of comfort are so little in light of the comfort you all need. One day, one night at a time....and I pray you do not catch more cold. Everybody is talking of flu shots, and I hope your little body can take one soon. That is the last thing you all need! Love you, Deanna

Hi Kristi, Glad you are home. He might be cutting teeth along with everything else. Come visit us again. We enjoyed that.
Just wanted you to know that we are having a shower for Carrie on the 29th at noon. Come if you can. We could have all sorts of babies here.

Hello again Carson, Kristi, and Matt. At the risk of sounding repetitive, let me say again "I understand." It was extremely difficult to know what Terra's cries meant. Was it normal behavior or was it the chemo, etc.? She also had an IV infiltrate (this was BP--before ports). It happened in the middle of the night one time at the hospital. She woke up just screaming--a scream like no other. It took us a while to figure out what was going on. Thank goodness it was on her foot as it did leave a "burn scar". Please know that I think of you daily and know what you are going through. Believe that God "chose" you to be Carson's parents because he felt reassured that you would give Carson the loving care and treatment that he needs to overcome his illness. Hang tough and stay positive! ~Trula

Dearest Carson, Kristi and Matt....I hope you each had a better day and night yesterday. It seems like the pattern has been that it won't be until a bit later in the week before things settle down a bit for Carson. Once you get past this chemo and into "only" the normal baby growing issues, Carson, things like cutting those teeth, ear aches, tummy aches, ....will seem like a piece of cake! Enjoy cuddling with Mommy today, we will check in tomorrow. Love, Deanna

SALINA, KS United States - Wednesday, October 20, 2004 7:26 AM CDT

Glad to hear that you are back home again. The fact that each trip to Children's Mercy puts you closer to being done with chemo has got to be encouraging. Know that you remain in our thoughts and prayers. Love, Vickie

I am just checking in on you all. We were at clinic today so I thought about you all. Sorry to hear that you are going into a tough week. The good news is you are getting closer and closer to finishing. I will be praying that the chemo wipes out all the cancer cells in his little body. Hang in there.

Lawrence, KS - Tuesday, October 19, 2004 8:18 PM CDT
Dear Kristi, Matt and little Carson, I feel so badly for all of you! Carson, I know you must be so frustrated when Mommy and Daddy cannot know exactly what is hurting you....and how painful for Mommy and Daddy to know you are hurting and not sure from what. They will be so happy when you are old enough to talk and tell them what is going on....they will never get tired of listening to you! When my son was so small and allergic to all the formulas, I promised him that when he was old enough to eat and tell me what he liked, I would feed him anyting he wanted....and what fun to spoil him! Kristi, thank you for the new pictures...Ellie Rose is always so attentive to Carson. They will always be special friends. Carson, the next time you see Ellie Rose you tell her that your friends are praying for her, too! I pray today is better for you...I am thinking of you. Love, Deanna

SALINA, KS United States - Tuesday, October 19, 2004 7:42 AM CDT
Carson;
Glad to hear you are feeling well enough to give Mommy and Daddy lots of smiles and giggles. Hopefully you will not feel to bad when your counts go down again. Just remember it is for the best and will only be for a few days. It is almost all over, only one more treatment (hopefully) left. You and your Mommy and Daddy have been so brave and strong. We can all take a lesson from them in faith. Our thoughts and prayers are with you always. Hopefully we can come up to play sometime over Halloween weekend. Give your Mommy and Daddy lots of slobbery kisses and loves.
love you,

Dearest Carson, Great news this morning to hear that you and Mommy did get to go home Friday afternoon and spend a nice week-end at home. Too bad the Chief's don't take a few lessons in toughnest and bravery from you! I am sure you and your Daddy had to watch them blow it again yesterday. But that is okay, we will see how KU does this week...and wait until KU basketball, you will love that (it is in your genes)! I had better get back to work. I have November 2 marked on my calendar. What a day for celebration that will be, as we all hope it will continue to be your last chemo treatment. Have a good day, honey. Love, Deanna
Deanna and Chuck Morgan <dmorgan@srhc.com>
SALINA, KS United States - Monday, October 18, 2004 8:33 AM CDT
Carson,
I have seen a direct correlation between the number of games K-State loses and the amount your liver is shrinking. My biggest fear is that your liver will shrink too much and there won't be any left. Luckily K-State only has 5 games left. I just hope this trend doesn't continue with their basketball team too.

Dearest Carson, What great news to hear that you had another good day today. I knew you would show those doctors up once they got the chemo where it was supposed to go! You are so smart and brave!! You wanted to get back home to your own room and toys, I know. Have a great week-end...maybe you will get to go visiting again. I can hardly wait until you get to visit your Grandmas and Grandpas in Salina. It would be so neat to meet such a little celebrity! Keep Mommy and Daddy busy, honey....and have another good day....Love, Deanna

Although you've not heard from us, we're constantly reading your updates. My friends keep asking: "How is little Carson doing?" And I do my best to give them an accurate picture--with emphasis on the positive. Amd I'm so happy there is such a strong positive in the overall picture.
Grandpa was excited to receive a phone call from Michael when he was in Garden City this week. He wanted the address, so he could look up the house where Grandpa lived as a kid!
May God continue to bless the three of you.

Carson,
My mom says that you have an illness that is taking a long time to heal. She says that you get medicine that makes you feel really sick, but that you are doing much better than you were before. She also says that your mommy and daddy are really good about taking care of you and love you very much. It looks like you have a lot of friends that pray for you every day! I think it is nice that prayers work...don't you? I look at the computer at your pictures, and I think that we could be pretty good friends! Besides, you have a really cool name! Can we get together and play once you are all healed? Mommy says that it should happen really soon. I have been praying for you, and your mommy and daddy too. Keep smiling and laughing, it to helps make you feel better, and your parents too!
Grins,
Carson

Dear Kristi, Matt and Carson...it was so good to hear that things went as they should on Wednesday. How sad to realize how many children are so sick that a hospital that large does not have the necessary accommodations for everyone on a timely basis! I pray that you do get to come home later on Friday so that you can all be in your own beds and cozy home environment. Have a good day today...Love, Deanna

Dearest Carson, Kristi and Matt, we all feel so badly for you....all of our thoughts and prayers didn't help much yesterday. God knew what he was doing, though, when he gave little Carson such wonderful parents! Not just any parent would be listening for these special messages from their baby. I can only imagine what Uncle Craig is thinking...knowing that those mistakes should not even occur. The rest of the week has to go better; we just hate it that Carson is going to have to start all over today. The area is sure to be painful....hang tough, honey (and Mommy and Daddy). We are so sorry! Love you, Deanna and Chuck

Matt, Kristi and Carson,
What a day you had at the hospital. I am glad to hear that the mishap with his port will not cause any long lasting damage. I hope Wednesday is a better day for all. The pictures you have posted are awesome. It is great to see Daddy and Carson bonding and rooting for those Jayhawks. I will keep you all in my thoughts and prayers as you continue on your quest with this cancer and its elimination. Stay strong and enjoy every minute.
God Bless you and be with you during your chemo.

I'm soooo sorry that Carson had to endure such a long day and than to have the mishap with the port......ahhhhhhh!!!!!!! Thank the Lord he was able to communicate something was wrong, and thank goodness you were able to find the source of his pain! Bless your hearts....you guys deserve medal today. We'll be praying for you guys this week. Hope you can get a descent nights rest tonight. We may try to come up one night this week and let Carson and Ellie have a "moment".

Dear Carson, Kristi and Matt
Good luck at the hospital. It is a good thing that you are going and the treatments are working. Soon, this will all be over and you'll be running around in no time. It is frustrating to fall back just when you think you are making head way. You look great in your pictures. We do enjoy seeing them. Tell your mommy we are sorry to hear about the wildcats. It has been 10 years since they beat KU the first time for a long time. Just remember, whom ever you root for, stay with that team through the thick and the thin.
Hang in there!
Go CATS! Love, Tara, Ryan and Carson

Dear Matt, Christie and little Carson....there are so many of us wishing we could be there for you. I hope the chemo goes as well as possible. We must keep in mind that it is what is making your brave little guy so well and happy again. At least you are over half way there, with two more to go. Our love to you all, Deanna and Chuck

Best Wishes for treatment tomorrow. What cute pictures of Carson you have been displaying. Such a handsome little guy. I am so happy to hear the great news about his loss of weight, learning to roll over, etc. I think you will find that when he finally gets a chance to "be normal", he will catch up very quickly on his motor skills. As long as he feels well, he will act like a baby normally does at his age. Again, I will be thinking about you tomorrow and wish you the best! Give Carson an extra hug and kiss for all that he must endure! And stay positive yourselves. ~Trula

Dearest Carson, the new pictures say a thousand words! I especially like the one of you with your proud Daddy! You are usually so solemn and serious, but you look like you and your Daddy are determined to make it happen for KU! And you did! Wasn't that an exciting game?!? I thought about you and knew there wasn't a quiet moment in your living room....I remember hearing your Dad and his friends, Tim and my Matt, yell from the basement when KU was playing!
I teased Matt about showing his age, though, when he told me that he got out of Lawrence as quickly as possible after the game because there was such bedlam! 4 or 5 years ago the 3 of them would have been in the middle of the celebration. I will be thinking of you tomorrow, too, honey. You show those doctors what a tough Jayhawk you are...it is almost over! You look wonderful....Love, Deanna
Deanna and Chuck Morgan <dmorgan@srhc.com>

Dear Kristi, Matt and Carson,
I will be thinking all sorts of good thoughts for you as you head back for another round of chemo this week. We are celebrating KU's win over KState last night! It was an exciting game and about time. I met your one of your cousins in Wilson at the Friday night football game and we talked about how cute Carson is, were your ears tingling? Take care and you will all be in my prayers this week.

Dearest Carson, How wonderful to see that you and Mommy have been able to get out and do some visiting. That is really great news and a real "upper" for both you and Mommy and your friends! Tomorrow you and Daddy can enjoy your afternoon together as you watch the Jayhawks beat those Cats for the first time in a long time....at least they have a good chance this year. And I hope they do it just for you! Have a super week-end...Carson, Kristi and Matt. Love, Deanna

Dear Kristi and Carson,
It was such a treat seeing you and Carson yesterday afternoon! You both looked wonderful! Carson is growing so fast and is such a handsome little boy(he's a beautiful baby!), even if he didn't smile for us! Thank you for coming to Eisenhower...we sure enjoyed seeing you both.

Carson, I am very proud of you being able to drink out of your sippy cup, and with the fact that you are feeling better. However, you just need to remember that CATS are better than FAKE birds. There are certain things you just need to listen to your mommy...daddies can get carried away with stories. Like, KU is better than K-State. Always wear the purple pride!
You take care sweetie! Have fun this weekend!

Dearest Carson (and Mommy and Daddy, too!), Thank you for the delightful news yesterday! You will have so much energy the next few days that you can really wear your Mommy and Daddy out! You will enjoy your sippy cup, so much easier to get that good stuff without having to use so much sucking power. This will be a big week-end for you football fans. I know our Matts think KU has a better chance than in the past. I will be rooting with you, Carson....for KU! Have a wonderful week-end. I hope to take a day off tomorrow, but I will check in with you on Friday. Love you, Deanna

Hey guys,
Sounds like things are going well. I know I was certainly excited about the Chief's win. I don't know about the KU/KSU game, Carson. I still have to cheer for my Wildcats, but I am more nervous than most years. (It just wouldn't be nice to lose football and basketball games to K who!) Enjoy the sippy cup. Tell mom and dad that you want to try Cherry Koolaid. It makes nice patterns on the carpet and walls!
Love and prayers,

Dearest Carson, I have to leave for an all day meeting off campus....but I had to come in and tell you how happy I was that those Chiefs finally pulled off a win for you! I am sure your and your Daddy were watching! Have a good day, honey. I would rather be here working than sitting in a meeting all day! Love you, Deanna

Dearest Carson, Kristi, and Matt, I was anxious to get in to work this morning so I could check on your visit to the hospital Friday. How wonderful to hear that everything went so well. And I am so glad that your regular home health nurse is back so that you won't have to go into the city again today. It won't be long before you can make a strictly fun trip into KC...you will love the Christmas lights at Christmas, and Santa Claus! What a special Christmas this will be for you and your family ( and all of us who have come to know and love you).....but we won't worry about Christmas yet. We are having beautiful Fall weather and I hope you can get out on some walks with Mommy and Daddy and enjoy the sunshine. Have a good day today, brave little Carson. Love, Deanna

Hi, Carson! You are just the cutest little boy in the whole world!! I am soooo happy that there was nothing wrong with your port and that your visit at the hospital was a positive visit. :-) It is good to hear that you are feeling better and stronger! You are a little trooper and I am so proud of you and your parents! :-) Can't wait to see you sometime and then when you are able to have friends over, I'll bring Olivia by and you kiddoes can play!
Keep smiling and being CUTE!

Sorry to hear that Carson has to make another trip to the hospital. Will pray that the home health person just didn't know what he/she was doing and that the port will be fine....that little trooper doesn't need to go through something else and neither does Mommy and Daddy.
Praise God that Carson's levels have gone down significantly!! What a blessing!!!! Prayers are being answered!! I get chills thinking of how powerful everyone's prayers are! So happy for all of you.......
Thanks for keeping us posted!

Dearest Kristi, Matt and Carson...I guess I was confused when I thought you had to go to the hospital yesterday for the blood work. I am sorry to hear that you are having to go today. We will pray that the home health nurse just didn't have the experience to draw from your port. You have to be so tired of having strangers poke around on you! It is no wonder your pictures are so serious looking! You have learned early to take life seriously, haven't you, Carson. And congratulations are in order for you...sitting up so tall and proud! You are a determined little guy. Wait until you start tearing up those tennis courts! I will be waiting to hear how today goes....your Mommy and Daddy are so great to take the time to keep all of your "fans" posted on your progress. Love you much, Deanna

Dear Kristi, Matt and little Carson, Just a short note to let you know that we are thinking of you this morning...hoping all goes well with your visit today. And if that chemo is getting you down..some "new blood" will pep you right up! I love your new pictures, Carson. Your very first girl friend is a sweetie! It is great to hear that Ellie finally got to go home this week, too. Yes, you do remind me of E. T.! He was such a favorite at our house back when your Mommy and Daddy were little kids. You will enjoy the video when you get a little older, too. I wondered how your Mommy and Daddy were protecting you from all the germs that seem to be going around early this year. And Mommy and Daddy need to take care of themselves so that they stay well, too! Have a good day, and give those doctors "heck"! Love to you all, Deanna

Dear little Carson, I love the new picture of you playing with your feet! And you are really showing off how trim your tummy is getting....that is good news. (I wish I could trim mine as well!) "Tummy time" with Mommy and Daddy! Sounds like fun....I used to have "tickle time" with my Matt and Angie; always a special time for Mommy, Daddy, and our little ones. It sounds like you are getting along better with the chemo this time, honey...no rashes? I will be thinking of you tomorrow. And if you do need the blood transfusion, I know it will "pep" you up in no time! Everytime I give blood now I hope it is going to a special little guy like you! Have a good day with Mommy and Daddy today. Love, Deanna P.S. Thank your, Mommy, too, for the new picture!

Horray for Carson: isn't rolling over lots of fun. Pretty soon you and Ainsley will be crawling and drooling all over each other. One step at a time you are on your way to new accomplishments. Tell your Mommy and Daddy to enjoy each milestone and to treasure (which I know they already do) you now, cause before they know it you will be running around and getting into everything. We love you.

And it is okay when your Mommy or Daddy haven't added a note....then we know that no one has knocked over a mailbox, there have been no lightning storms knocking out your electicity...and the 3 of you are having good days at home!

Just checking in again on Baby Carson. I've been extremely busy at work lately so it's been a few days since I last checked, although you have been on my mind and in my prayers. As for the motor skills, Terra didn't walk until she was 23 months old! Then she really took off. Also about the yeast infection--Terra wore just a tank top and a diaper (disposable and no plastic pants) ALL WINTER as she had a terrible yeast infection in her groin and under her arms. The doctors said that it needed to get "air" to heal. You are definitely on a roller coaster ride. Enjoy every good minute you have with Baby Carson, and again stay positive! ~Trula Harris

I guess it helps that you know what to expect. I hope everything goes well today at Children's. Nothing is "routine" for your Carson! Sorry, honey, that it was such a disappointing week-end for your football. It seems like out teams just can't quite get it finished up right! I pray for a good day for you. Love, Deanna

And now his thyroid....the poor little guy! He is a tough little trooper and so are his parents. I am so sorry that you guys are having to go through all of this. Your strength is AMAZING! I know that God is cradling all of you in HIS hand! Take comfort in that.

Kristi, Matt, and Carson,
I anxiously got onto your website this morning to see how things went. I hope that mom and dad have taken a moment to cry, scream, run a mile or two - anything to release some tension that I know you must be feeling. Remember that it is ok to get angry at all that is happening and don't deny your feelings. God is with you and he feels your pain and he understands the anger too. He is a loving and understanding God. Aren't we lucky? Carson is an amazing young man to be handling things like he is. I'm sure you're tired of being told to "hang in there." This guestbook is proof that you have a TON of friends and family that would help you out in a heartbeat if you need anything. Please call us if you need anything. I'd love an excuse to come to Lawrence anytime! Could go shopping, get you a treat somewhere - whatever. Don't hesitate to call. Extra prayers for you guys today! Kelly

Dear Kristi, Matt and little Carson....what a week you have had! I cannot imagine the emotional roller coaster you and Matt have been on, Kristi. I know Children's is one of the best, but it seems like they could do a better job of scheduling, especially for such precious patients as your Carson. We thank God that the CT of Carson's head came back okay; but what a scare. And bless his heart, now his thyroid. Isn't it amazing how this seems so incidental.... when compared to his daily fight again the cancer! I hope Mommy and Daddy are grabbing the chance for naps, too, with Carson sleeping better. It is hard, but you must remember to take care of each other, too. I hope the rest of your week goes well now that you are home....maybe KU Football will help make up for your Chiefs, Carson! I wish we could put a safety net around your home and tell everyone, including storm centers, to "leave the Toews alone"! They are busy taking care of real life issues....not the knocking down of mailboxes and damages from lightning storms...but we can't....so hang in there and have a wonderful week-end! Love, Deanna
Deanna and Chuck Morgan <dmorgan@srhc.com>

We are so happy to read that the cancer has NOT spread to his skull. Praise God!!!! What an answer to prayer. We enjoyed getting to visit with you guys again on Tuesday night. Carson is just simply precious. Hope he doesn't have any battle wounds from Ellie. She just doesn't seem to comprehend the word "gentle" yet. We continue to pray for you guys. There WILL be an end to this journey. Continue to count each and every blessing along the way!!!

Iwas in Lawrence this weekend with Megan (10 yr. old) at a soccer tournament and thought about you guys. I am glad you can get out a little and I hope that all goes well tomorrow. It is amazing what young children can perserve through. I hope the sleeping gets better. Just an fyi Eisenhower received the Blue Ribbon Award from the department of ed. in Washington, D.C.

Hi Kristi, Matt, and Carson. Just checking in on you guys. So glad that Carson is feeling better and that his tummy is returning to baby size. :-) I'm sure Chemo isn't the thing you guys are wanting to do right now, but you have the right attitude.....it is best for the long run. I will be praying for you tomorrow that the treatment will go easily for Carson and that the side effects won't be too awful. Baby's are so surprisingly resilliant...he will hopefully come through with flying colors and be his cute little self.
Will try to get over in a couple of weeks to see you guys.
Let me know if I can do ANYTHING!

I can imagine how much you dread going back to the hospital for another chemo treatment tomorrow and start all the side effects again. But we pray they won't re-occur and remember how important this is to making you well! The first treatment has been such a miracle for you....the second has got to be even better! Good luck to you tomorrow, beautiful baby....Love, Deanna

Hi, Guys! First of all, Carson is the CUTEST baby boy in the world!! Those eyes.....awwwwww....he is going to be a heartbreaker! :-)
Glad Carson and Mommy enjoyed shopping yesterday! I bet that Carson charmed many a woman at the stores. :-) Keep enjoying shopping, Carson...it will make life so much easier for Mommy!
As for the sleeping, I am sooo sorry that he had another rough night. It's frustrating for ALL of you. Will pray that Carson start finding comfort for long nights of sleep.
Hang in there......
Hugs,

Dear Kristi, Matt and Carson....I thought about you all day yesterday, as the sun came out and the day was cooler...just made for a day out shopping with Mommy! The lack of sleep has got to be frustrating. If things were as they should be for little Carson I know the shopping would have helped to relax him and help him sleep. Sleep deprivation is tough on adults, much less a little guy. And what a beautiful young man Carson is! It is hard to believe how sick he is and what a tough road he has been battling. I printed off the new picture today...should I be saying "handsome", Daddy? Whichever...he is an angel. Hope you all had a good night last night. I am assuming that Daddy is back at work except for appointments. How wonderful that Mommy can stay home with Carson. God knew what he was doing when he gave you such special parents, Carson! Have a good day....Love, Deanna

Carson, we are so glad that you are feeling better! We were pretty bummed about those darn chiefs too ( we weren't real happy about the wildcats either) It just wasn't a good week for football. However our San Diego Chargers finally won a game!! That was so nice of you to give mommy and daddy a little more rest! You continue to be in our prayers!

Hello Carson, Matt, and Kristi,
I didn't realize it's been so many days since we last wrote you. We've been checking your journal every day, though, and are very happy to see the great progress the little guy is making. He's certainly a tough one! We're also glad to see Carson is becoming reaquainted with his toes. I bet he missed them terribly! Gloria is a postanesthesia RN at SwedishAmerican Hospital, in Rockford, and all this time she's been talking to her nurse and doctor friends about little Carson. Seems your medicos have been right on the ball. We're glad, too, that you three are sleeping much better. Sleep is good! We'll keep praying that Carson continues to get stronger and healthier every day. Take care!

Have a fun day.....Love, Deanna

Dearest Matt, Kristi and Carson, such good news to hear that you may be getting a little more rest, but anxious to hear that Carson's blood tests show that his immune system is kicking in again. Such a lucky little boy to have such wonderful parents! I am sure you have learned than you ever wanted to need to know ....Matt, you might as well become a radiologist! Yes, Carson, that Chief's game got my Matt down, too....but KU's team this year will help to keep your spirits up! Hope the "lucky sleepers" helped last night and you got another good night with a couple of hours of sequential sleep. Love from Deanna

Hi, Carson! I'm soooo glad that you are able to play with your 10 little piggies again! Toes are FUN! Sigh......I'm sad..I can't play with my piggies like that and I'd don't think my belly is all that big...well, maybe bigger than I'd like, but it's not BIG! :-) You are just a flexible littl baby boy with a tummy that is getting smaller....YIPPEEEE!! :-)
Hope your cold is better. Can't wait until you are all better so that we can get you and Olivia together to PLAY!
Tell Mommy and Daddy hi from me!

Hey! Doggone it, anyway. I am so sorry that Carson has a cold AND has to deal with that yeast infection. It makes him miserable and Mommy/Daddy, too. I'm sure, though, that even though you are ALL exhausted, you are counting your blessings and just cuddling him and comforting him. Hang in there.....sleep when you can catch it and know that Carson will EVENTUALLY get his sleeping pattern down again.
Am holding you all in my prayers,

What a sweet little boy you have! So sorry to hear about all the struggles he has had. It sounds like things are going as well as possible. I bet someday when he's a big strapping teenager you'll be able to show him this journal and talk about all the people who supported you and prayed for his recovery! What a story it will be! But for now, please know that we're all thinking about you. I will have Carson and your whole family added to the prayer list at our church in Stockton. Hang in there --

It's Shelly! Just checking in on Carson. Sounds like he is on the mend.....sorry he isn't sleeping for you guys. Maybe he is saying in his baby way..."Hey! I'm feeling soooooo much better and am sooooo glad to be home. Who needs sleeping? Let's PAARRRTTYYY!!" That probably doesn't bring alot of comfort to sleep deprived parents, but it was at least good for a laugh. :-)
Would love to come see Carson sometime. Will wait another week so that his immune system is a little stronger. I'm at school all day with germy little kids and live with a few myself. Plus, have gotten a cough this morning, so don't want to take any risks. But I do want to come see you guys.
I am still praying for you daily. Please know that my Sunday School Class and my Mary Kay family is also holding you in prayer. So thankful that Carson is healing and that treatments are working. Our God is an AWESOME God!
Hugs,

Hi, Guys! Couldn't start my Tuesday without checking in on Carson. :-) You three have been on my mind and I am so glad to read that everything is going well. Great news about Carson's tummy! That has to be giving him alot of relief from discomfort. I shared with my Sunday School class at church that Carson was home and doing well and about the hope for a cancer free Christmas. My classmates have been keeping you all in their prayers and rejoiced at the GREAT news!
Will keep checking in. If there is ANYTHING you guys need and there is some way that Michael and I can help out, don't hestitate to call.
Have a great Tuesday!

Chuck and I are not a bit surprised that your parents took care of things at home for you...you are a blessed family, even through Carson's illness! We thought about you all week-end and loved reading the good news this morning. I especially enjoyed the new pictures....and the obvious improvement in his condition. We look forward to hearing good news after your visit to Children's Mercy on Thursday. Enjoy your week! Love, Deanna and Chuck

Dear Kristi, Matt, and baby Carson,
My name is Carolyn Stewart and one of your neighbors (Susan Lomshek) sent me your website and asked me to pray. I wanted you to know that me and my family will definitely keep you in our thoughts and prayers. My family has been struck with many types of cancer, so I know the uncertainty that comes with this disease. It sounds as if you are in excellent hands, with doctors. Children's Mercy, family and friends. If you need any additional care, please let us know. May God continue to bless you.
Sincerly,
Carolyn, Tom, Andrew and Hannah Stewart

I am writing you from Salina, Kansas. I am the pastor at Grace Baptist Temple where Craig attends church. I just wanted to let you know that we are thinking of you and praying for you on a daily basis. I can't even imagine the stress that both of you must be under. Just know that God is listening to your prayers and he cares very much about this situation you are facing. Jeremiah 33:3 Call unto me, and I will answer you, and shew you great and mighty things, which you know not. Our entire church is praying for you and our thoughts are with you. Let us know if we can do anything.

You are in very good hands at Children's Mercy, they are what we consider miracle workers. Our son was diagnosis there March 9th and received treatment there this spring and summer with Burkett's Lymphoma. The nurses, doctors, staff and care assistants are the best you can ask for in this situation. I believe God watches over Children's Mercy with special care. I received your page address from our friend Ellie Rose. Please know I will add you to my nightly prayers.

Matt, Kristi, and little Carson,
You were on my mind all weekend and continually in my prayers. It sounds like positive news from the dr.s and we will just continue to pray that the chemo treatments will be successful and of course we will pray that Carson find relief from the pain and discomfort. I just can't imagine what you all have been going through, but I know that you are strong people who love each other and Carson very much. God will give you strength, even when you think you are going to crash. Will keep checking in. In the mean time, just know that we are keeping you in constant prayers.
Kiss Carson for me! Miss you at school, Kristi!
Love,

Matt,Kristi,&Carson, Matt you know me from working at Dr. Brungardt's office. Your mother has kept abreast of whats taken place and I've read through all the history on the website. I want you to know I have and will be praying for Carson's recovery and for strength for you as parents and for the grandparents. Something that might help you to know is that my cousin's child was born with the same thing that Carson has and Jill is now a freshman in high school and is doing very well. She went through her treatment in Denver. My prayer for Carson is: Lord, look upon Carson with the eyes of mercy. May your healing hand rest upon him, may your life-giving powers flow into every cell of his body and into the depths of his soul cleansing, purifying, restoring him to wholeness and strength for the service in your kingdom. Amen

On Agels Wings
Today I prayed for angels
To keep watch over you
To guard and then protect you
In everything you do.
When I whispered to the Father,
I asked for Him to bring
A touch of love and goodness
Sent forth on angel's wings.
So if you feel the brush of wings
Or soft breeze fills the air,
Just know it's angels watching you
Because of whispered prayer.
By Allison Chambers Coxsey
Will keep you and your son in our prayers

No parent wants to see their child sick, it sounds like you are doing a wonderful job with staying strong and positive. I wish Carson didn't have to endure the sleepless nights, tummy rumbling from not eating and pain from surgeries, but I will pray that he will be healed soon and you are back home again soon. I will check his site daily to keep my prayers current with his treatments.

This just goes to show you how much we all care for your family and have each of you in our thoughts. May Carson's surgery today be a success, and may you and Matt receive some of the comfort and relief you undoubtedly deserve. If you need me to research specialists or clinical trials here at the National Institutes of Health (where I work), don't hesitate to let me know.

Josh and I had a baby boy on March 15 and we can't begin to imagine what you are going through right now. Our baby was in the hospital for three weeks after delivery so we know how long the hours can get. We live in Olathe, so please call if we can bring you a home cooked meal, or anything else that would be helpful. (913-829-4249)

Just checked up on Carson's situation. Thank you so much for this website so that all of us can keep informed. You've been on my mind all morning and I just pray that all goes well. I've had Carson added to prayer chains at my church, as well as my mom's plus have many other friends lifting ALL of you up in prayer. Prayer is powerful! Lean back into God's loving arms and know that He is there with you.

To the entire Toews family, especially Carson and his parents: I want you to know that my daughter, Terra, survived a very rare form of blood cancer (Histiocytosis) that was diagnosed and treatments started at the age of 2 1/2 months! At the age of one year and after many setbacks, the doctors gave her less than 10% chance of surviving not only the disease itself, but the treatments! That was back in 1976! Terra just had her 28th birthday on August 1!
We went through everything that you are experiencing--the steroids causing terrible staff infection in the diaper area AND under the arms, waiting for tests, etc. and no food for hours, all the sticks for blood tests, impatient waiting when the hospital doesn't stick to the scheduled time for procedures, sedation for CT scans, etc. etc. Terra's IV tubes just became a natural part of her and she got to where she never bothered them, even when the IV was in her head! Oh man, how your journal brings back the memories.
I know there have been MANY advances in treatment and much better prognosis in the last 30 years. Please just keep the faith and a positive attitude. If you need to visit with someone who has "been there and done that", please feel free to contact me at any time. ~Trula Harris

Dear Baby Carson, your Mom's "favorable" news is proof that there really are answers to all of our prayers...and we want you to know that there is some serious praying going on out here in Salina, Ks...as well as all over the country! Thanks to your Mom for itemizing it out for us (she is a wonderful reporter!). For those of us not so in tune with the medical terminology,your family, including Uncle Craig, have done a wonderful job of explaining exactly what is going on for you. The idea of you being in pain is unimaginable, and the prayer for pain relief for you and your precious parents will definitely be a strong one! Thousands of prayers are going on for you and your family today as you undergo your surgery .....Love you, Deanna and Chuck Morgan P.S. Thank you, Kristi and Matt, for the hospital address.

Dear friends- We love you and firmly stand with countless believers here in Fort Worth petitioning for Carson's condition to improve. Amy and I are so thankful to the LORD for how He has taken care of you thus far. We are praying for your comfort with the assurance that the LORD keeps watch over Carson as He does not sleep nor slumber (Psalm 121) and that if He provides for the birds of the air, He will most certainly be gracious towards your needs and those of your precious son- for He loves you all with an enduring love. It is out of that same love that we continue to intercede for you and wait on Him.

Carson, we love you! There are so many prayers for you!
One of my very favorite songs is about how God is there for you, especially during uncertain times. This song really helps. Here are the words:
God will make a way where there seems to be no way.
He works in ways we cannot see;
He will make a way for me.
He will be my guide, hold me closely to His side.
With love and strength for each new day;
He will make a way, He will make a way.
In addition to prayers I will be singing this song for you, Carson.
With love, "G" Ruth

Gracious Holy God, Ever-Present Presence, Giver and Lover of Life, stay close to Matt, Kristi and Carson these days. Help them see and feel and know how close you are through the support they have from so many people - family, friends and even strangers who are praying for them all. Let them feel your presence like a mantle draped across their shoulders, giving comfort and warmth and some sense of peace in the midst of all this choas, this unknown. I pray for the medical people - doctors, nurses, technicians - who are involved with Carson's well-being. This is such a time of upheaval for the family. Help the medical staff work with the family, giving them information, care, support, the things they need to understand and help them through the uncertainty of all this. May It Be So.

I am a friend of Vicki Hall's. In June, my niece, Eliza, was admitted to Children's Mercy and diagnosed with a massive, aggressive, inoperable brain tumor. She was 6 months old at the time. We have been where you are now. Please, please, please do not give up hope. Pray for healing with every breath and every heartbeat. God hears your prayers and will respond in ways you can't even imagine.
Eliza is being treated at Mayo clinic, where we found a specialist in her type of tumor. She is doing very well. We have met many families at the Ronald McDonald house at Mayo, and one little guy there, Carl, has a diagnosis of neuroblastoma stage IV. Carl's specialist is at Sloan-Kettering Memorial in New York. Don't be afraid to ask for a second opinion and pursue other options if that is where God leads you.
If you are interested in seeing where we've been, and how God has lead us through the darkest hours we've known, and continues to lead us, check out Eliza's caring bridge site - www.caringbridge.org/ks/elizamae - and read the past journal entries. I hope some of what we've survived can be an encouragement to you in some way.
I will pass your baby Carson on to my family and my church family for prayer. Lean on God, and He will strengthen you. Listen to the doctors with God's ears and he will lead you. Most of all, never give up.
