Laura,
I found you on Holly's guestbook. I could not remember Micah's website. I am so glad you listed it with your entry! I was talking about Micah yesterday. I was telling Mia the detox story. :) I think of you often and can still remember Micah singing and playing the guitar in clinic on what I think was his last clinic visit. It was truly amazing and unforgetable. Debby, Nancy and I ran a marathon with Team in Training in December. Micah was a huge inspiration for me completing the run. On one of the training runs (half marathon in Greensboro), I had the joy of running behind two ladies that were with TNT when Micah was the honored hero. They still proudly wore their shirts with his name written on the back. It helped me so much! I miss you. You are always in my thoughts and prayers.

Laura,
Thank you for sharing Micah with us (CBS group.) Oddly, that fear instinct common to all mothers seems different today. Reading many of the postings you've shared as you've lived this journey has helped me see more clearly the blessing of today, the joy in a single moment and the reassurance that life continues. I trust Him with my tomorrows and with my children so I'll rest today from the worry so common to many mothers.

Dear Laura and Mark and family,
Thank you for sharing Micah with me....Many days stick in my mind with Micah..but one day in clinic he played his guitar and sang beautifully...I know it was a gift to God but felt like it was also a gift to me....I am grateful for that day and all the days I shared with you and your family.
Micah always lifted me up with his suttle (sometimes NOT suttle) sense of humor but always with his tremendous faith. His smile, his music, the testimony he lived remains forever with me. I love him and You all (Ya'll....) and lift all of you up in my prayers. I pray for your comfort, your strength and your joy in the Lord. Please come by and see us when you are over this way.I miss you.
With Love, Nancy

It was great seeing you at the wedding! I finally got a moment to sit and read the site. Your updates are such an encouragement. I know many many people have been touched through your testimony and drawn closer to Jesus. Micah was a special young man and his legacy lives on. God bless you for pressing on in Him...I know He is using you and your family mightily. Blessings and love, Debby

I remember coming into Micah's room to give him a medication and there were people playing music around Micah's bed..Not uncommon. I remember Micah's weak voice singing, "Our God is an awesome God, He reigns from Heaven above...." Your family has blessed me more than you will ever know. Your close walk with the Lord is an inspiration to us all. God bless you all and you are all in my thoughts and prayers.

I was reading through the journal and I actually did read the allegory about bone marrow transplants and salvation. I thought it was the best one I've ever heard! Since I know what bone marrow transplants are like, I could really appreciate it. It would be a great witnessing tool on the transplant unit to those that don't know God. I will certainly go look at the other website. Thank you! Lots of love!

Thank you for signing my guestbook! I loved reading all of Micah's poems and songs. I like to write too and I think it is the best way to show how you really feel. The praise songs were especially amazing to me. It seems rare to find a teenager truly on fire for God. I know I didn't get to meet Micah, but thats more to look forward to in Heaven someday! Lots of love to the whole family!

I received a forward of your letter. I am sorry for your loss of time with Micah. Although we know he's with the Lord, I can only imagine how it must feel to miss him. I hope that God will continue to comfort you both and all your children, and that you will continue to receive comforting reminders of Micah and the time you had with him. God bless you all.

In coming across your website, I would like you to know that your words are truly a blessing to me. My son just had a bone marrow transplant at Duke on Dec. 27th 2006. We are out of the hospital right now, and in reading your son's website it has encouraged me and was so uplifting. I too have a strong faith in my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ and I pray that his blessings continue to be poured out upon you and your family.

Thanks for sharing those precious memories, Laura. Micah was such a pleasure and a delight, a truly unique gift to your family. I heard Jason Upton's CD at church this past Sunday about being the apple of God's eye and thought immediately of Micah. Hard to fathom sometimes, but he and you are the apple of God's eye, no matter the evidence. Thanks for being a continuing testimony of God's goodness and for being so incredibly faithful. One day we will see fully... Love, margaret

What wonderful memories of Micah! That is a wonderful scripture that lets us know that we praise the Lord with those already there! I'll think about that now as we praise the Lord and remember that all of our loved ones in Christ are praising with us!

Let us then approach the throne of grace with confidence, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help us in our time of need (Heb 4:16). As we have drawn near to God in our grief, he showers us with his abundant, amazing grace. We thank God for his grace and praise him for his mercy. His lovingkindness endures forever.

Hi, Laura~

I enjoyed reading about your relationship w/ Micah. What a special young man he is! Surely God is enjoying his company now.

Thanks for letting me know about the song we have on our webpage. It is even more special now.

Thinking about you often. Family pictures will never be the same, will they? Being focused on and thankful for what we have today in the Lord gives peace doesn't it? As you also know it doesn't take away the pain of missing our sons and you are right we grieve WITH HOPE

Hi, Laura~

That verse about God's sweet fragrance being spread wherever we are, came to me as I read your latest journal entry.(2 Cor.2:14) Your living faith is doing just that!

Praise God for His perfume that spreads when we're "squeezed" in circumstances,

It is clear from reading your entries that the PEACE of Jesus even in the midst of incredible pain and loss is sufficient to comfort and bring eternal, true perspective. I am so thankful that you know HIM and that He is so obvioulsy real in your life. Even more real and tangible than the pain. I pray that His spirit will continue to envelope your family and whisper His love to you.

Once again, I have been blessed by visiting Micah's site and learning from your words of wisdom. How true it is that we have hope (our only hope) in our Lord Jesus. Your pictures of Micah and the family are treasures. As one of nine (who are all grown and have multiplied), I can relate to the big family picture. I'll continue to pray for you all.

I thought I'd written since coming home from the Walk, but now I see I haven't. It was so good to see your family there! Your page reflects the great relationship you all have w/ one another and with the Lord. I always am encouraged to walk closer to the Lord after visiting this site.

Dear Micah's Family,
I found this site from a link, link, etc. (another caringbridge) site, actually I don't know how many links it was. But to the point: we share the same sorrow & joy. My granddaughter, Ashley, went home to be with the Lord Oct. 8, 2003, also from ALL. She was at Baptist in Winston-Salem, went to Duke for a bone marrow transplant, wasn't able to have the procedure, back to Baptist, couldn't stay in remission. The pain is almost unbearable at times, how do people who don't have the LORD JESUS bear it? I prayed for your family, covet your prayers for mine. Ashley's site: caringbridge.org/or/rayann

It's refreshing to know how Micah still live-and your reminders will let us know that he'll always be with us. With the birth of our newest daughter yesterday, reflecting on Micah gives me an even more deeper appreciation of God's precious gift.

Love you guys - always praying upon every remembrance of you...

Thank you for writing an update. I was going through our family photos yesterday and saw a picture of Micah, Priscilla, Elizabeth and Gabriel with CJ and Caleb out on the mound of dirt, now covered with grass. They looked like they were having fun talking and playing. There are many good memories of Micah, may God bring them to your remembrance. Lots of love and prayers,

Laura and family, I've just looked again at the pictures of Micah and this time I thought of Barbara Johnson. I'm currently enjoying her 1990 book again. (this was after she had lost 2 sons) I encourage y'all with her words "I have survived only by partaking of a steady diet of laughter, joy and hope. I choose to gather the flowers of God's grace, unbounding love, abiding presence and unmatched joy...I hope you will too." The Lord continues to bring you to mind for prayer. Love from Princess Ruby : )

Dear Laura:

You don't know me but I saw you entry on Baby Micah's page,who died the other day. I visited your son's page and I have to tell you that it touched my heart. I am also a mother of a beautiful 7 year old boy named Justin and I can not imagine your loss. That song that you posted is one of my favorite songs. You are truly an admirable women. Your grace pours through and I can see how much you love your children. I know Micah hugs and kisses you every single minute of every single day. He is your guardian angel. Rest assure that God is taking care of you and your family. If all mothers hugged and kissed there children the way you did with Micah, this world would be a better place. I know you are at peace because the memories you share of your beautiful son will be with you for a lifetime.

In His Love,

Dear Laura, Mark & Family,
Yesterday I was thinking about the day we (Laura, Micah, Michael and myself) where all standing waiting for the light to change to cross over to the parking gargage and what a beautifull day it was. We where all laughing and the wind kept lifting up the boys' hats. It was a great Spring time memory.
Hugs and Love to all of you!

Laura, Once again, a beautiful and tear jerker entry! When you told about kissing Micah every time before you left the room, I remembered seeing you loving on him a couple of times as I passed by your window. How wonderful to have all those memories. I do know how hard it is to get through this. I have a hard time myself, still after 5 months. Sometimes it seems like it all happened yesterday, doesn't it? I am so glad that you have the peace and comfort of knowing how much Micah loved the Lord and how devoted he was. He was an amazingly fine young man, Laura. I am proud to have known him even just a little. I have many memories of Bryce and certain things that I will just never forget. Things that were just between Bryce and myself. "Nana's moments". They are every bit as wonderful as my own childrens special moments with me. It is a wonderful blessing to be a mother and you were a wonderful blessing to Micah. I could tell you were very close and a wonderful family. I will continue to remember you in my prayers and will continue to read your updates as they are good for my soul! Love to you all

Mark and Laura, I have been thinking about you this holiday season. It is the holidays that make us miss our loved ones so much. So many memories come back to us. Allen (my brother) died the Sunday after Easter last year and his birthday is Thursday. I miss him so much and would just love to talk to him. We have the peace and assurance of a resurrected Lord and know they our loved ones are with him. This is such a great comfort. I hope your family has a nice Easter. Enjoy talking about all the memories. It will help you get through this difficult time. Love Tommy and Margaret

I hope your pain in mourning Micah will be eased a bit as we celebrate the Resurrection and what Jesus did on our behalf when He conqueored sin and death. Because of His sacrifice, Micah is with him now and because of your faith in Jesus you will see Him and Micah again. We rejoice with you for that day. Our hearts still hurt for your pain, so we entrust you to the One who loves you best and pray that His comfort will bring peace to your hearts.

Thank you for sharing Micah's words and his song. I know his journal entries are very precious to you. Praying that you are finding peace and comfort right now even as you face some very difficult days. Our Father has been so merciful to me lately as Jake has been sick with high fevers that the doctors think was probably from the flu. I know you feel his mercies each day, too. Viesta emailed and said Jessie's surgery is the 14th. I don't know if you have talked with her, but I know you would want to know so you can pray for a successful outcome. Viesta is terrified. I can't even imagine what she is going through. I think of you often. Thank you for the updates on your family.

This life is so fleeting, when we look back the years will be gone and Heaven will be closer...so will our reunion with our loved ones. I, too, look forward with great longing to the day when I get to see Mom again. May Jesus continue to show you Heaven and how wonderful it is...

Thank you for sharing your pain as well as your love for our Lord. It has almost been a year since Stephen went to be with the Lord--I still have not been able to go through his shaving kit nor the bag he used to take faithfully to clinic. I think about you daily.

Laura, As I read your new entry, I couldn't help but feel the sorrow you feel and in your words feel the love only a mother can feel for their child. Truly beautiful! I am so proud that I had the chance to get to know you, even if only a bit, because it has given me the chance to follow Micah's journey and through your words my faith has grown. I have struggled for the last almost three months, trying to understand Bryces passing, wondering and questioning things that I have never questioned before. There are very few people that have actually helped me to get through those questions, fear, anger and disbelief. Reading your entries are a real strength to me. Thank you for your words. I know that they come out of the love you have for your son, but I believe the Holy Spirit is using you to help others, like me. I pray for your heart to heal and the memories to never fade away.......

I just came across Micah's website. I was actually just thinking of him this week. Though I didn't know Micah very long, he was such an inspiration to me & many, many others. He touched countless lives in his short time here on Earth, some of which you will never even know about. I pray that some will come to know God through Micah's
shining example. He was truly a blessing to take care of & I am honored to have met him & your family.

Have you heard the song I Can Only Imagine sung by Mercy Me ? Micah does not have to imagine any more.

I can only imagine what it will be like,
When I walk by Your side
I can only imagine what my eyes will see,
When Your Face is before me!
I can only imagine. I can only imagine.
Surrounded by Your Glory, what will my heart feel?
Will I dance for you, Jesus? Or in awe of You, be still?
Will I stand in Your presence, or to my knees will I fall?
Will I sing Hallelujah? Will I be able to speak at all?
I can only imagine! I can only imagine!
I can only imagine, when that day comes,
When I find myself standing in the Son.
I can only imagine, when all I will do,
Is forever, forever worship You!
I can only imagine! I can only imagine!
Surrounded by Your Glory, what will my heart feel?
Will I dance for you, Jesus? Or in awe of You, be still?
Will I stand in Your presence, or to my knees will I fall?
Will I sing Hallelujah? Will I be able to speak at all?
I can only imagine! I can only imagine!
Surrounded by Your Glory, what will my heart feel?
Will I dance for you, Jesus? Or in awe of You, be still?
Will I stand in Your presence, or to my knees will I fall?

I can only imagine! I can only imagine!
I can only imagine!

When all I will do
is forever, forever worship You!
I can only imagine!

Your faith has amazed me. I have been learning about your Micah's journey for some time now, and have prayed for your family. Thankyou for sharing such loving detail and personal parts of your lives. I know he will be missed. His life touched many, even those who never actually met him. I remember your family fondly when there were only three of you. You are loved and in His care.

Dear Laura, Mark and Family, It was such a sweet time to pray for Micah and receive your updates of his progress. What a precious child he is and so loved. Your family's faith is a great testimony and so encouraging. My sister died of leukemia when she was 17 - that was 35 years ago and I still miss her.It is comforting to know that our loved ones are spending their time with Jesus and when it is our time to go they will be there to greet us with great joy. Will continue to pray for your comfort.Hope we will some day meet. Sandra Newlin

Mark, Laura and family of Micah,
Tuesday after Micah's homegoing - I was at work listening to some Christmas music that talked about being home for Christmas and I was overwhelmed with the thoughts of Micah and that he was home, that he had run the race and run it well and had won the prize - that he was with His Jesus - face to face - I rejoiced through tears for him and then I prayed for you all - my heart is with you - thanks for the undated emails and staying in touch - prayfully consider writing a book - you have touched so many lives with Micah and your love for him and your love and trust of the Lord - I know the Lord will say on the day you join Micah "WELL DONE GOOD AND FAITHFUL SERVANTS" I pray Abba Father comfort you with His love and presence as only He can...

Thank you for sharing Micah's concept of our spiritual BMT...what a powerful comparison. Thanks also for taking the time to sign our guestbook recently...unexpected in the middle of all you're going through. We're here at Duke this week for the boys' 9 mo. appointment. I can't help but think of Micah and the other wonderful, brave children and families we've had the priviledge to meet, as we walk the halls. You all have been such a great inspiration to us! May God continue to comfort your family and give you much grace and strength.
Love & Prayers,

Laura, I still pray for you and your family daily. I am so thankful that God's grace has been sufficient to see you through such a difficult experience - and of course it will continue to be sufficient. It has been a rainy, quiet day here at our house and I like days like this sometimes because it makes me slow down and enjoy all of God's blessings. Hope you are having some good days as well. I am sure that at times emotion just takes over. Praise God for all the "gifts" that Micah left for all of you. I can only ask God to give my boys the spirit of faith that Micah had here on Earth. What an amazing kid. Love you,

What an awesome comparison to what God did for us and what Micah went through. Thanks so much for sharing. I have copied it and sent it to all that I know (I hope you don't mind). I know there were several people who were in tears. Micah is still touching peoples lives! PTL!

I think about Micah daily. My Michael has one more week left in his treatment before he gets his bone marrow checked. We are thankful for God's grace on his life.

Thank you so much for your continued faith and always glorifying our Lord. It has humbled me and awed me to see such faith. I long for the same closeness.

God bless!

God gave Micah a very special gift and I am sure the day he entered heaven he was told, "Well done my good and faithful servant, well done." I'm sure it was an awesome honor to be his parents. My prayers continue with your family.

I was very lucky to have been able to join you in celebrating Micah's life last Thursday. I enjoyed all the singing and stories of Micah.

My thoughts are with you and your family.

I never met Micah or your family. The link I can share is that my liitle niece was first diagnosed with leukemia and treated at Brenner's and then transplanted at Duke 5201. When I found your website, I was so inspired by your faith. About the time I started losing my faith when my little sister was being treated at Baptist all summer/fall for her cancer, I followed your site and you helped renew my faith. I donated platelets with the hopes Micah might get some of mine. I donated a few days before Christmas to honor Micah, my little niece and my sister. I know my Aunt who won her cancer battle not long ago greeted Micah along side our Father. God Bless your Family.

Dear Laura and Mark,
I send you my prayers and deepest wishes for solace as you grieve your precious child. Laura, I met you once briefly at Alexan Farms where we also lived during our daughter, Gracie's, transplant. I have the most vivid and lovely memory of meeting you, surrounded by four of your daughters, totally serene and loving, giving each of them attention and care, introducing them all, including your infant daughter, while your younger son rode circles around us on his bike. I felt in awe at the calm and loving way you moved through the world as a mother. I also had the pleasure of meeting Micah once or twice there at Alexan Farms, and was struck by his gentleness and dignity, so unusual to find in a teenager, especially one coping with great hardship. The love and peace that exists at the core of your family is an inspiration. May God bring you healing and soothe your pain, as your family is lifted in prayer by many, many hearts.

Dear Laura,

Sonya and I were saddened for you and your family after hearing of Micah's earthly death. You and I talked a few times at Duke and I think we both realized very quickly each other's love for the Lord. I am not saddened for Micah because I know that his best day on this earth compares nothing to what his spiritual body is now experiencing. I will continue to ask Jesus to give you and your family strength in these coming days. When you feel sad, look forward to the time you will see Micah again.

We Win In The End,

To Micah's family,
First, I must say how sorry I am for the loss of your precious son and brother. We have been following Micah's story for a short time by way of Parker F's page. Our 16 yr old daughter, Alex (dx'd with ALL on 7-16-04) went home to be with the Lord last Thursday. Just like we have been told over and over, there really are no words that can take the pain away when you loose someone so precious to your hearts. Our daughter brought an amazing amount of joy to our lives, as I'm sure Micah did to yours. I know by reading your entries, that Micah and your family have kept your eyes focused on the Lord and His goodness. I had been praying for Micah and Alex for miracles, and even though they did not receive their miracles hear on earth, they really have rec'd the miracle of eternal life with God. We had Alex's memorial service today and it was absolutely beautiful. She was a testament of a young person who loved the Lord, and I can tell the same of your Micah. There was given a time during her service for people to accept the Lord into their hearts, and we believe the number of people that made that choice was between 30-40. WOW!!! God is so faithful and good! I know Alex, Micah and the angels did lots of rejoicing at that. I pray that God will bless Micah's service tomorrow also and that even more people will be added into the Kingdom of Heaven as a result of Micah's and your family's faith. You, as Michah's parents, and we, as Alex's parents were especially gifted by God with these children, as well as our other children. Please know our prayers are with you for the Lord's devine comfort, peace and strength. What would we do without Him?? May your faith be a testament to everyone you know.
Peace and grace to you all in the name of the Lord.

Dear Laura, Mark and family~
I remember Micah fondly. I recall on 5200 when he would walk and walk and walk . . . until he was walking so much that the doctors asked him to stop walking so much!! He was so brave and strong. He was such a positive force on the floor and provided great leadership to the younger children on 5200. I remember his sweet ways and his love of music. I thank him for sharing his passion for music with us on 5200. I also remember his tribute for Ryan when Ryan passed away. He wrote to me and included a song which he wrote. He, Ryan and all the other beautiful children who have gone to heaven will be singing together. I wish you great peace throughout the holiday season. Much love, Lori

I am praying for all of you during this difficult time. Your faith is some of the strongest faith I have seen here in the hospital. Micah had wisdom so far beyond his years and I believe many more lives will be touched and changed through his testimony and home going. Anyone who knows you both knows that your faith in God and your family will give you the strength you need. You have such a precious family and we will miss you all. Praise the Lord that Micah is now healed and free from leukemia and someday you will see him again. In my thoughts and prayers,

Mark and Laura, it saddened me greatly to read the news on your website this AM. I know your hearts must be broken, but at the same time it has to be of some comfort to know that he is not suffering any more, instead he is dancing with Jesus on the streets of gold. We do grieve for ourselves though and that is a natural thing. Even Jesus grieved and wept, as the Bible tells us. Your family will be in our thoughts and prayers. We pray for your strength as you are grieving. The Lord will be with you during this difficult time and he will sustain all your needs. Micah was loved so much and he knew that. Hold on to the precious memories you have. You are a wonderful family! Love, Tommy and Margaret

The scripture today was perfect and one we should all remember. Micah, I have prayed for you today several times...that you would be able to play your music again soon. I am glad that you are smiling often and getting to enjoy some Christmas decorations around the hospital. You have probably seen more than Jake at this point. We haven't done much decorating around the house yet. I need to get some pointers from your Mom about how to get it all done with children at my feet...two of whom would rather undecorate than decorate.

Please remember that your name is at the top of my prayer list each day. May God bless you in miraculous ways.

Micah, Mark, Laura, and family,
I just learned today of Micah's ongoing battle with leukemia from Susan Hayes as I haven't done a very good job of keeping in touch with Antioch Church members since I graduated from Elon in 2001 and moved away from North Carolina. I was Renee Underwood then and Micah was much younger. I have seen from the journals and guest book what an amazing young man of God you have become, Micah. You and your family are a testimony of God's love and my husband and I pray that God's will will continue to be done in your lives and He will ease your pain and provide you comfort, both physically and spiritually. May his peace that passes all understanding continue to fill your heart. God bless you and your family as you continually bless others.

Micah--I realize that you do not know me, but I am Brittany Brown's roommate at NC State. I have been following your story. I must say that I have been completely inspired by your faith in God. The way Brittany talks about you, I only wish I could be as good of a Christian as you. Brittany and I set aside time to pray with all of our hearts for you. I am praying really really hard for a miracle, and I know God can do it!! Apparantly your family is from Staley, and my family is from Liberty (really close) so if there is anything my family can do for yours just let me know!! I'm praying for you Micah!!!!!!!!

Dear Leake family,
I was up at 2:30 yesterday morning praying for Micah's ear and face -- for the healing touch of His Heavenly Father's hand. In the midst of the deep weariness I've sensed, I've prayed that the Lord will continue to give grace and courage for you to hold on to Him. Saw Barbara Sams and her family at church today -- they send their love and prayers.
Our love and prayers go out to all of you.
Blessed be Jehovah Rapha,

My son and I decided to undertake a quest when he turned 18, and our only "rules" were that this quest must require an extended committment, allow us to spend time together, and benefit an individual or group. We chose joining the TNT through the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society, and after reading your journal I think God led us to this quest.

Laura, Mark, Micha and Family, Don't know if you ever met the Trimpers at Duke. Their three children all had stem cell transplants a couple of years ago for MLD, but have been at Duke quite a bit recently and maybe even when you were there. Their daughter is in NY at Sloan Kettering with a life threatening virus and doctors have painted a bleak picture for her future. The family is loving and trusting the Lord with their Maddie. Today she is undergoing a risky procedure. Her family has asked people who sign the guestbook to tell of miracles of God that they have personally witnessed. The entries are amazing. I thought you might like to read them too. The website is www.caringbridge.org/mi/trimpermld. You are in our prayers here in the Linville house.

Hi Micah and family,
I am sending my prayers to you from Rutland, Vermont. We received our first snowfall yesterday. I live about 20 miles from the Rutland area in the mountains and we received 6 inches of snow. The trees were all dressed in white this morning. Every single branch had snow. It looked like they were dressed to go to a formal dance. It was very beautiful to see. I will hold you in my prayers Micah and will share your story with my church group, East Wallingford Baptist Church. As you know, God will take care of you. Love in Christ, Debby Marro

Hi Micah, Laura, Mark and family! I just wanted you to know that we are continuing to pray for Micah's healing and I have e-mailed friends and family requesting the same. I was so happy to see Micah at church Sunday! God burdened my heart for Micah the first time I heard his story! As our hearts were so heavy with the news Sunday I felt God saying thru His Spirit that His heart is so broken also and He feels your pain! Your faith and continued love for God in these circumstances are such a blessing! We must never give up hope or faith. Just as David did when his infant son was ill, we will continue to fast and pray and weep on our beds until we hear from our Lord on high. He has blessed you with such a wonderful family! I am so in love with little Lydia! Our whole family is! Our hearts are united with yours through Him during this trial. Love in Christ, Dawn Coller

Micah and Family, reading the new entry brought back memories of watching Nathan be held for all that blood work. It literally took days for us to get enough blood and it was emotionally exhasuting. Babies forgive easily and what a beautiful sacrifice...one innocent persons blood for another persons life. That's an amazing gift, right? Hoping and praying for all the best news next week.

Hi Micah~
I'm sorry you had a difficult day watching Lydia get her blood drawn. One day, she'll be very happy she helped her big brother. We are praying that your wbc's are just immature and that you are going to be in remission with your next check. We are very happy that your counts have come up so quickly. We are thinking about you every day.

Thanks for the update. Praying for Micah to be free from infections and fever. We just got a new Christian rock CD by Superchick. This song had a great message that may minister to Micah:

"This is my brand new day starting now
I let go the things that weigh me down
And rob me of the beauty that's to be found
And life all around

Pre-Chorus:
This is my prayer without ceasing
The negative releasing
And as I rise above
My burden is easing

Chorus:
I bring the pure flow, water around
The rocks of life won't pull me down
I bring the pure flow, drink so deep
The river of life my soul at ease
I bring the pure flow, water around
The rocks of life won't pull me down
I bring the pure flow, rising above
The storms of life to live and love

This is my brand new day in the light
Troubles rising up on the left and the right
I keep my eyes fixed on where I want to go
The rest will follow

Pre-Chorus
Chorus

This is my brand new day starting now
Letting go of the ways that I fall down
The old can be made new, the lost can be found
The lost will be found

Pre-Chorus
Chorus

My soul is at ease and I am free."

Someone has told me about Micah. I have been following the site and praying for him. I am donating platelets this Sunday in W-S. So if he gets the rare AB+, they may be mine. I'll do a double donation. My little niece had a cord blood stem cell at Duke 5201 almost 4 yrs ago. There's a site someone told me about that you may want to check out http://www2.caringbridge.org/ca/benmurphy/ This little boy also relapsed after transplant. Now he's getting his Mom's 3/6 match. They have a machine that extracts the host t-cells, which are the cells that actually cause the GVH, hence allowing the 3/6 match. I will continue to pray for Micah.

Dear Micah,
Michael also had a "new" chemo to treat his Leukemia when he fell out of remission. It was very rough, but we believe that it was the one that did the job.
We are praying that your "new" chemo will be the one for you! I firmly believe that God sends insight to all of the doctors and medical people who develop chemos that are working in ways that they did not have before.
When Michael got the chemo - he said that he just knew that it worked - he could feel it - it was like having God's hand on his body.
We are praying and praying for you!

We just wanted to drop a note to let you know that we continue to daily pray for you. We rest in knowing the Lord's faithfulness towards you. Thought of you today when we read "O God, my heart is steadfast; I will sing and give praise, even with my glory. Awake, lute and harp! I will awaken the dawn. I will praise you, O Lord, among the peoples, and I will sing praises to you among the nations. For your mercy is great above the heavens and Your truth reaches to the clouds." (Psalm 108: 1-4)
You have truly shown a steadfast heart and sometimes I know that if we listen close enough...we would hear your voices in song across the miles. God bless you. We love you.

I am very sorry about your toe infection, but am very glad they have it under control. Sherilyn had a lot of toe problems her first year of treatment. Infections & several surgeries and they told us it was very common too. I read this today in "Our Daily Bread":

Do not worry about your life. -Matthew 6:25

When we put our cares in God's hands, He puts
His peace in our heart.

Never a trial that He is not there,
Never a burden that He does not bear;
Never a sorrow that He does not share-
Moment by moment, I'm under His care. - Whittle

We think about you everyday and pray for you. We love you.

Laura, Sherilyn & Family

So good to catch up with you. I continue to pray for your family and especially Micah, knowing that the cancer had come back. Can pray more specifically for him now. So glad the toe infection was brought under control so quickly. You are so right, God is taking care of you all and holds you in His loving arms AT ALL TIMES. It make such a difference to know that, especially when the trials are so hard and repetitive. Take care and you are being remembered. We are home now and I have updated Zach's site (tx/zachmel)as well if you want more details. All is going well and HomeHome is a wonderful place to be.

Michael also gets these, but never as bad as what your Mom wrote about.

Praises to God for Lydia's match. We will pray for a quick remission and for protection for Micah's organs. God is so faithful and I know you know that, but I just feel like I needed to say it again. A couple of days ago I was thinking about how neat it is that Lydia was born on Micah's birthday. What a gift to him in so many ways this past year and now it seems as if she was meant for even another wonderful purpose (and who knows what else)! No one knows better than the Linvilles how precious that unexpected baby can be. Speaking of babies, mine is awake (and mad). Gotta go. We are PRAYING!!!!

Hi Micah,
We've been thinking about you a lot lately. What wonderful news that your baby sister Lydia is a perfect match! We will pray that you get into remission quickly and that your body accepts Lydia's cord blood when it's time. You have been an inspiration to Sherilyn & myself since we first met you on 5200. God is with you every step of the way.

For I am the Lord, your God, who takes hold
of your right hand and says to you, Do not fear;
I will help you. (Isaiah 41:13)

Our prayers are with you and your family. We love you.

Hello Micah,
I just wanted you and your family to know that my husband and I are thinking about you and praying for you. I remember the first day that I met you on 10 North Tower at NC Baptist Hospital and in my heart I knew that you were special. I have always had the sense that God's Spirit resides in you. I love being your nurse and getting to know you and although I'm no longer working full time at the hospital, I am always thinking about you and praying for you and your family. I know that the Lord has you under His wings and will be with you and will deliver you (Psalm 91:4,15).

Hey Laura and Micah! I met you today at Brenners. I am Michael Thompson's mom, Jennifer (the one with 6 children). After seeing you today, I have not been able to stop thinking and praying. I had to work tonight at Outback and I had to force myself not to cry. Towards the end of my shift I was asked how Michael was doing and I just starting crying thinking of Micah. My heart deeply aches for you and your family. Please know that I am praying and thinking of you constantly. Your faith and strength in the Lord is such an inspiration to me. Keep looking up!

Lots of love in Christ,

Staley, NC USA - Tuesday, July 26, 2005 6:24 PM CDT

I believe Micah once wrote Isa.61 on his xanga page. But I just wanted to say it as a prayer today:
I pray that the Spirit of the SOVEREIGN Lord would be upon each one of you - that the Lord will anoint your family, that God Himself will send some good news your way, that He will bind up all of your broken hearts, that He will proclaim freedom to you and release from the darkness, that this would be the year of the Lord's favor in your life. I ask God to comfort your mourning hearts, to provide for you, and give you a crown of beauty instead of ashes, the oil of gladness instead of mourning, and a garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness. You guys are oaks of righteousness, plantings of the Lord, for the display of His splendor.
Amen and amen.
Thinking of you and praying always, with love..

Dear Laura and family,
It's hard to read yours and Frannie's webpages tonight. I HATE all the suffering that BMT families here are experiencing, but the verse that keeps coming to mind is when Jesus told His disciples, " In this world you will have tribulation, but be of good cheer, I have overcome the world." (Jn. 16:33) Hold onto Jesus and His Word as you travel this road...from the looks of your journal, you already are.
Love in Christ,

Hi Micah,
I thank your Mom so much for sending Meredith Birthday wishes today. We are so pleased to reach the one year milestone in her recovery and her feeling so good. We have been blessed beyond words.
We are praying for you and hopeful that your counts will recover. It took Meredith so long to finally make platelets, but once she did she progressed nicely.
I am very familiar with Staley, NC because I was born and grew up in Ramseur. My mother lived her last 15 years in Liberty - I always refer to that area as God's country. I always loved the rolling hills and even the red clay. We are kinda in the flat lands here in Rocky Mount, but not too far from the beach and we all like that.
We have an amazing picture on Meredith's homepage and I hope you will view it. It is the last picture and was supposed to be of balloons which we released after putting our prayer list names on them. A white cross appeared in the picture much to our amazement and we see it as a reminder of God's love and power. He is watching over you too and he loves you so much. I hope tomorrow is a great day for you. Stay strong and determined.
In Christ,
The Poplins (Meredith's grandparents) <wpoplin@cox.net>

I hope things will improve and we will certainly be praying for all of you. Our children are precious gifts from God and it hurts so much to see them not well. Your family is very special and I am sure God is pleased with your faith. Tell Micah to hang in there. We'll keep praying. Tommy and Margaret

We are so thankful that Micah is still doing so well. Prayers have definately been answered. We really missed all your family at the Browder reunion last Saturday, but we certainly understand....we'll just plan for next time. We had a good time.

Hi Laura and Micah,
100 days, it's truly amazing how far we've come. Thank you God! Freddy had his 100 day studies 2 weeks ago. He is doing well, we're waiting for his immune function results to come-back, they can take anywhere from 3 to 5 weeks, we're praying for the best. God bless you and keep you safe and healthy.

Hi Laura and Micah, it was good to see you both at clinic this week...I am only sorry that our time was short. Clinic days are so rushed and stressful with two little ones in tow. We will certainly pray for 100% little sister cells! We should have out chimerism results back this weekend and we are praying for 100% baby brother cells! Thanks for all the updates.

Hi Laura & Micah,
I saw Micah briefly today in the halls and said hi. We Had a long day today as Sherilyn had her 100 day studies (although it was only day 90). We should get some of the results this week. Sherilyn will hopefully be getting her central line out this month. She is envious of Micah's lack of lines. We are very happy to hear that Micah is doing so well and has gained some weight and is back home. God is watching over you. We hope to see you and talk to you soon. Love, Laura & Sherilyn

Hey guys,
Glad all is well. I am standing by with prayer for continued platelet production! Not much fun getting stuck with needles so much, so let's just pray for an end to the need for that. May Micah just continue to heal and be restored. I want to hear a recording of him playing an instrument in church when he is back in the swing of things! It's coming soon! Love you all -

Hi Laura & Micah,
I missed seeing you in clinic on Monday. Sherilyn too is losing weight since going off TPN. She has lost about 9 pounds. Her taste buds are still quite moody. We hope that Micah will start gaining weight soon. I am glad to hear they are going to let you go home soon. We are so happy Sherilyn is home. The first week was an adjustment, but as we know "Home is where the heart is" ...the rest of the family. We will pray for Micah. We hope to see you Monday in clinic. Laura & Sherilyn

I ran a fever the entire time I was having the transplant and after. They finally told me I didn't have to call the clinic unless it got to 102.5. It never was explained, but has gone away now (18 months post transplant.) I used to drink water before they took my temp because I was so afraid they would put me back in the hospital and I knew that there wasn't any cause. Good luck!

Micah, You and your family are such an inspiration to me. I love reading your Mom's words every chance I get. I am praying that you will have more energy soon and those pesky leg cramps and fevers will disappear very soon. I'm glad you can still ride your bike for exercise. We used to get Jake to ride his or to walk to the mailbox after supper each night for his activity. He was soooo tired and sometimes he would sya his legs were too sleepy and we'd have to carry him home. This weekend I watched him run and play tag with his cousins and he kept up every step of the way. The only thing that looked any different than before he was sick was his dark curly hair (which we all think is adorable)! You'll be there, too. Keep up all the good work.

Keep up the good fight. I have been battling cancer for 3 years but God has been good to me. He keeps me going when I don't have the strength to do it myself. He will give you the strength and courage to fight your fight. All of us who believe in the blood of Jesus Christ will win one day.

I see you finally settled on the perfect hat! Loved the new scripture from the book of Micah! Praying that even as Micah rests, that there is a hidden work of restoration going on inside of him.

We too heard often "what great faith you must have" We would just smile and say "it doesn't take much faith to encounter something so big that your only response is to fall flat on your face before Jesus and have His Power and His body carry you". He is so gracious to do that for us. He is so powerful to sustain. His peace is so real and undeniable. I'm so thankful you are in His arms and He is carrying you through your trial as well. You bring Him much glory.

Hello there, just checking in and hoping for some good news on Micah's fever. Seems like they would have started him on antibiotics by now... Glad to hear about the eyebrows, and you're right, hair will soon follow- but very dark, and probably low on his forehead. And then that will change...it will certainly be a year of all sorts of changes up ahead, but they're all good ones.
Keeping the faith with you!

There won't be any long lines! His FIVE SISTERS will have to wait to kiss him, at least till they're over the chicken pox. The only other one is his future wife... and she'll have to wait till their wedding day! I hope that brings a chuckle... but I'm not joking.

Micah
I bet you might feel like your parents are being paranoid about the germ thing but trust me you want to give your system about a year or two to gather back to full strength with the whites, t-cells and b-cells. We had Patrick wearing mask and gloves whenever he stepped outside for the longest time. It is a necessary precaution. Thankfully you're older and your friends will understand. All the girls wanting to kiss you will need to form a staight line and wait their turn for at least a year!! I even waited a year to kiss my boy on the lips! It'll all be worth it though if you can avoid being sick. God's protection is with you and we wil continue the prayers on your behalf.

The "RED DOT" joke sounds like something one of my my grandsons would have done. A very good sign I would say. We are still praying and God DOES answer prayer. Thank you Laura for your sweet note. We are all doing well, still adjusting though. I hope Micah will be well enough to come to the Browder Reunion in June. Keep up the good work.

Hi Micah, I think your chicken pox joke was very funny! I know God is blessing your time at home with just your Mom and Lydia. Sometimes quiet is good. It gives you time to think and reflect on what God has done for you and your family...and time to think up ways to keep the Docs on their toes!

Hi Everyone!
Micah, you look like a young French boy in your beret and scarf! I'm delighted to hear you're doing so well as Priscilla's cells continue to do their thing. You've been in everyone's thoughts and prayers and it seems those prayers are being answered. We'll keep those prayers coming and you continue to be strong.

Laura/Mark:
I can't believe there's another challenge. First it was Gabriel's case of shingles and now there's chicken pox, and not just one case of chicken pox!

I just praise the Lord for all He's done and all He's going to do. It's been a priviledge and blessing to pray for all of you. To see all you have been through and still going through and the way you lean on the Lord encourages me and builds my faith. I hope to meet your family one day. Michah God has wonderful plans for you! God bless all of you and I pray health healing and restoration to your entire family.

Thank you Laura, so much for your encouraging comments on our webpage. I needed that sip of cool water tonite! I just read Micah's xanga, and it made me miss our days on the BMT unit! Crazy, isn't it? My hope and prayer is that one day our kids will look back on this time, and it will be like childbirth pain was to us, forgotten in the joy that was before us. I am praying and looking for resurrection power to rise in both Carmel's and Micah's bodies! Have a blessed Easter, and although I know the days at clinic are long, remember to look for the divine appointments God places in your path, whether it be nurse, doctor, or another patient. Love, from Margaret & co.

Hi Micah and family!

We just wanted to let you know we love you all and are praying for you. We were glad to hear that Micah was able to go home so soon. I'm guessing that the cottage feels a lot more like home now with everyone in it! I love it that the girls are excited about sleeping in the closet. Since a closet and wardrobe are very similar, tell them we said to watch out for the lightpost and if they see Mr. Tumnus or Aslan in Narnia, tell them we said hello! We are looking forward to seeing you back at church Micah and hope we will get to hear you play the mandolin. Have a blessed Easter and we love you!
God Bless You!

Today is Good Friday. Rose asked me, "Why do we call it Good Friday when we are remembering this day as the day Jesus died on the cross?" After explaining the reason to her, I reflected on GOD's goodness. How we may grieve for a time when sorrow hits, but GOD's goodness never changes. You are presently in a world and in a place where pain and sorrow are indeniable, but GOD is good. Nothing can ever refute that truth and I praise Him for His goodness. The gamut of my emotions run on a wide track for the Leake family. But when I think of all of you, I think of GOD's goodness. What a paradox for those who don't know Him. "For the word of the cross is foolishness for those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of GOD." 1 Cor.1:18 We continue to pray without ceasing. We love all of you.

I think Joy slept in a closet once. She liked it too. We have been praying for Micah a lot. Benjamin often sends back his 'Mailbox Club' letters with requests for prayer for Micah, and they always respond that they have been praying also. We'll rejoice with you when you get off some of the tubes and IV's. May the Lord strengthen your whole family during this time. Micah, you now have a lifetime ministry, a testimony, a praise report for those in that transplant unit that need to hear of God's lovingkindness.

Micah, it is wonderful news to hear how God is working and that you have gone "home" to be with your family. However, I was sad to see you still wearing that UNC hat in your pictures!! But, I did notice that JJ Reddick had signed it, so I will forgive you....hope to see you soon.

Dear Micah and Family,
I am truly emboldened and encouraged as I witness, through e-mail and prayer, all that the Lord is doing in your life through this transplant adventure. How every day is a day of victory, a day of thanksgiving. Glad you and Jesse had a chance to minister in song in the hospital - I'm sure He's doing a mighty work through you.

I also appreciate the science lessons on blood counts, white blood cells, bone grafts, etc. I think me and Thomasena can teach a home school course based on all that info your Mom and Pop put in these updates : ).

Always praying - God Bless!

Hey Laura,
So pleased with all your reports! I just wanted to say that Carmel did have acute GVHD of the skin, about 32 days out of transplant. It was quickly brought under control with steroids which she was weaned off of in a couple of months. Sometimes GVHD is regarded as good in that it will also attack any remaining leukemia cells, so if Micah should get it, let's just believe that even that will serve a higher purpose. It's all about trusting God in everything, isn't it? Keeping the faith with you guys!

Micah, I'm Zane's first cousin from Germanton. Your family might not remember me. I was the one whose daughter is living in the Browder homeplace. I'm sorry to hear that you aren't feeling well. I hope it won't be long until you will not be in so much pain. We are praying that the new cells will soon take over and that you will have a complete healing. God is so good and we all know that he has the power to make you completely well again. May you have the faith and strength to endure all the things that are going on in your body now. We will check on you each day on your website. I am so glad Alice sent the prayer request to me. We will also pray for strength for your wonderful family. Keep that beautiful smile.

I am proud of you and inspired by your courage. You remind me of Joshua who was mighty in God and had great success because he meditated on the Word both day and night (Joshua 1:8).

Micah's family, We are praying for you guys.
Please ask your docs about Kepivance
http://www.kepivance.com/ It is a new drug that really really helps with the mucositus which I know can be so miserable. It is relatively new but they should be able to get it easily. It works way better than like the Nystatin and other rinse agents.
Jesus, please surround this young man, whisper your words of love and truth to him and impart your strength, perseverance, and ruthless trust in you, deeper and deeper into his heart. Give the doctors wisdom and please make the chemo work thoroughly. Please minimize the effects of all these drugs and restore his body completely if it be your will. Amen.

I heard about you from Carmel's mom. We join in praying for you and asking for the Lord's healing touch in your life and body. I know how hard it is to go through this. The days can seem so long waiting for those cells to kick in! Praying for grace, strength, endurance, patience and a great, lasting recovery for you. Also for wisdom and grace for your family as they minister the love of Jesus to those He puts in their path. May God work mightily in you and through you.
