Hey Mr. Hottie, we're glad to hear your camp was a lot of fun. I can see why the girls think you are so cute. Bailey thought you were pretty cute, too. (oops, I mean handsome). And you sure know how to fun up a summer! Ready for Camp #2 now! We keep you in our prayers each and every day. God Bless you, buddy.

Hi Will,

Hope you are enjoying your summer break from school. I always did-BIG TIME!!

Congrats on passing those end of year tests. I always wonder why schools have to have tests like that when it seems like they should be doing their job anyway. Oh well, I shouldn't rant and rave about that. Probably get your mother started too.

It's hard to believe that you will be driving before you know it. You standing next to that flashy car just shows it won't be very long. LOOKOUT WORLD, ANOTHER TEENAGE DRIVER!!! YIKES!!!!!! Ah, I'm just kidding. I know you will be a safe driver. Cause if you ain't, then Mr. Wayne might just have to come pay a visit.

Keep lookin' up. And keep blessing all of us by living an amazing life full of God's blessings.

Love,
Mr. Wayne

Found one of these verses when reading a book today. Then I started reading the surrounding verses and just had to include them all. Know that I'm still praying so hard and pray that the Lord will bless you through these verses as well.
Ephesians 3:14-19 For this cause I bow my knees unto the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, Of whom the whole family in heaven and earth is named, That he would grant you, according to the riches of his glory, to be strengthened with might by his Spirit in the inner man; That Christ may dwell in your hearts by faith; that ye, being rooted and grounded in love, May be able to comprehend with all saints what is the breadth, and length, and depth, and height; And to know the love of Christ, which passeth knowledge, that ye might be filled with all the fulness of God.

Hi Will and Kayla!

It's been so long since I last posted a message here, but I just wanted to say that you all are always in my thoughts and prayers. I wish I could get to the FA family weekend at Camp Sunshine, but I am Assistant Director at Camp Holiday Trails in Charlottesville, VA this year (a really great camp I've worked at the last few summers), and I won't be done til late August. Will, you look so much more grown up than what I remember...of course that makes sense since it's been nearly 4 years now (wow!) since we met and last saw each other! Anyway, just a quick note to let you know that you continue to touch my life (and I'm sure many others), and to say that I'm sending you all my best wishes and prayers!

Hello Kayla, Will, Emily, and Patrick,
I've just been reading back in your journal; don't let Alex's "rebirth" (that's the way I think of it") get you down. Look at all the successes and there are many more to come with all the improvements being made due to Alex's rebirth. Thanks for all your support. I'm not quite ready to talk yet. I feel like I'll do nothing but cry when I talk to you because you know how it feels to go through the ups and downs of FA. Thank you again and Will is going to be FINE!

Today we celebrate one of the most amazing yet totally incomprehensible days in all of history. I wanted to share some verses that speak of this day, praying that they'll touch your heart as they have mine. Still here praying!
Isaiah 52:14 As many were astonied at thee; his visage was so marred more than any man, and his form more than the sons of men:
Isaiah 53:4-6 Surely he hath borne our griefs, and carried our sorrows: yet we did esteem him stricken, smitten of God, and afflicted. But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed. All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned every one to his own way; and the LORD hath laid on him the iniquity of us all.
Matthew 27:46 And about the ninth hour Jesus cried with a loud voice, saying, Eli, Eli, lama sabachthani? that is to say, My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?
John 19:30 When Jesus therefore had received the vinegar, he said, It is finished: and he bowed his head, and gave up the ghost.

Don't know why but had the hardest time picking a passage today. Know that I'm still here praying, Will! And woohoo on being Bear Cub of the Week (and actually I think it's 2 weeks so double the fun!) Way to go, big guy!
Psalms 40:1-5 I waited patiently for the LORD; and he inclined unto me, and heard my cry. He brought me up also out of an horrible pit, out of the miry clay, and set my feet upon a rock, and established my goings. And he hath put a new song in my mouth, even praise unto our God: many shall see it, and fear, and shall trust in the LORD. Blessed is that man that maketh the LORD his trust, and respecteth not the proud, nor such as turn aside to lies. Many, O LORD my God, are thy wonderful works which thou hast done, and thy thoughts which are to us-ward: they cannot be reckoned up in order unto thee: if I would declare and speak of them, they are more than can be numbered.

Dear Will! Congratulations on being the Bear Cub of the Week with Prayer Bears! I am sorry I missed your birthday! Happy birthday! I seem to be so behind on birthdays right now....my sister's b-day was the day after your birthday and we have been celebrating one birthday after another here in Australia. So I didn't get to check your site in time...but now I hope you had a wonderful day on your birthday and that you got some lovely presents and beautiful time spent with your family. I know your mum loves you so much.

Kayla, I really do understand how you feel about FA being unfair. I really do. My heart grieves over the loss of Alex. My heart grieves at the moment about what we all have to go through with FA...the emotions, the stress, the loss...I am praying for joy this year in my life. I have had so many challenges with FA this past year...I pray that God will have mercy to allow me more joy this year. It is wonderful to see that Will's platelets are in the 50 000's! Yes! I celebrate with you and glad that he is well. What a blessing. Snuggle with him as much as you like. I am glad I have my baby boy to snuggle with. He sees me tearing up because of fears with FA and my health and he calmly says, "I will pray for you mummy"...if I can keep going for my baby I will....for more children I will. I know this is a long post....but I wanted to let you know that I love you guys and I don't often post...but I never forget about you guys and the impact that you have had on me. I really want to be at camp this year to see you again but have to wait to see if a grant will come through to pay our way...it is too much on our own. Boy, I have really raved on! Love you,

Every once in a while I have to come back and share this passage that I've shared before in some guestbooks. I just really think it's important to know that the Holy Spirit Himself is praying for you! What a tremendous comfort!
Romans 8:26-27 Likewise the Spirit also helpeth our infirmities: for we know not what we should pray for as we ought: but the Spirit itself maketh intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered. And he that searcheth the hearts knoweth what is the mind of the Spirit, because he maketh intercession for the saints according to the will of God.

Well? How was the birthday?!
When going through trials it may seem that you're all alone and that nobody understands what you're going through. There is One who not always understands perfectly but Who's always with you so that you're never truly alone!!!! Still here praying!
Joh 16:32: Behold, the hour cometh, yea, is now come, that ye shall be scattered, every man to his own, and shall leave me alone: and yet I am not alone, because the Father is with me.

Longer passage today because I didn't want to cut up this section. Know that I'm praying for you right now!
Romans 5:1-5 Therefore being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ: By whom also we have access by faith into this grace wherein we stand, and rejoice in hope of the glory of God. And not only so, but we glory in tribulations also: knowing that tribulation worketh patience; And patience, experience; and experience, hope: And hope maketh not ashamed; because the love of God is shed abroad in our hearts by the Holy Ghost which is given unto us.

The day is getting closer. I need to get my fire extinguisher recharged before Saturday. I bet you are going to have one great time Saturday. Wish I could come by and eat some cake and ice cream with you! Since I can't, I'll just have to wish you a grand Birthday!!!!!

I always read the verses that the hymns are based on every Sunday. One of the hymns was based on this psalm and I wanted to share the whole thing with you. Still here, still praying!
Psalms 130:1-8 Out of the depths have I cried unto thee, O LORD. Lord, hear my voice: let thine ears be attentive to the voice of my supplications. If thou, LORD, shouldest mark iniquities, O Lord, who shall stand? But there is forgiveness with thee, that thou mayest be feared. I wait for the LORD, my soul doth wait, and in his word do I hope. My soul waiteth for the Lord more than they that watch for the morning: I say, more than they that watch for the morning. Let Israel hope in the LORD: for with the LORD there is mercy, and with him is plenteous redemption. And he shall redeem Israel from all his iniquities.

Hi Will,

BUMMER to the max! I just read that you are in the hospital. (Not because of some pretty nurse I hope!!)

You need to get better pretty quick because YOU and I have an important day coming up. That's the day when you get to blow out one more candle and I get to set off the smoke alarm!!! It wouldn't be so bad if it wasn't the smoke alarm in the neighbor's house!!!!

If I counted my fingers and toes correctly, you are going to have 9 flames on your cake this year. Did I get it right? It may just be that something will arrive from Tennessee in a few days. Keep a watch.

In the meantime, you just concentrate on getting better. I'll be praying for God to reach down and help things along so you can get well soon.

Love you lots!

A giraffe looks in my window
At the same time everyday,
He just appears with silly ears,
When I turn on the light to play.

I tell him the things I do at two
While he munches and crunches the leaves,
That are so very tasty too,
From the tippy tops of the trees.

One night he didn’t look so good,
His eyes were filled with pain.
I asked him, "What is the problem, the food?"
He said, "I must explain!"

"My knees are hurting pretty bad
And my long neck is so sore.
I really do like our talks,
But I can't take much more!
If you do a favor for me,
I know how my pain will be free.

CAN YOU MOVE UP TO THE SECOND FLOOR!!!

Is 53:3-6: He is despised and rejected of men; a man of sorrows, and acquainted with grief: and we hid as it were our faces from him; he was despised, and we esteemed him not. Surely he hath borne our griefs, and carried our sorrows: yet we did esteem him stricken, smitten of God, and afflicted. But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed. All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned every one to his own way; and the LORD hath laid on him the iniquity of us all.

Ex 14:13-14 And Moses said unto the people, Fear ye not, stand still, and see the salvation of the LORD, which he will shew to you to day: for the Egyptians whom ye have seen to day, ye shall see them again no more for ever. The LORD shall fight for you, and ye shall hold your peace.

What comfort to have such a sure promise from Jesus, an anchor for our soul!
Heb 6:17-20: Wherein God, willing more abundantly to shew unto the heirs of promise the immutability of his counsel, confirmed it by an oath: That by two immutable things, in which it was impossible for God to lie, we might have a strong consolation, who have fled for refuge to lay hold upon the hope set before us: Which hope we have as an anchor of the soul, both sure and stedfast, and which entereth into that within the veil; Whither the forerunner is for us entered, even Jesus, made an high priest for ever after the order of Melchisedec.

The passage is long today (could have been worse...the psalm is 22 verses long but didn't want to overwhelm you) but oh what words of comfort! Praying so that the Lord uses them to touch your heart!
Ps 34:1-10: I will bless the LORD at all times: his praise shall continually be in my mouth. My soul shall make her boast in the LORD: the humble shall hear thereof, and be glad. O magnify the LORD with me, and let us exalt his name together. I sought the LORD, and he heard me, and delivered me from all my fears. They looked unto him, and were lightened: and their faces were not ashamed. This poor man cried, and the LORD heard him, and saved him out of all his troubles. The angel of the LORD encampeth round about them that fear him, and delivereth them. O taste and see that the LORD is good: blessed is the man that trusteth in him. O fear the LORD, ye his saints: for there is no want to them that fear him. The young lions do lack, and suffer hunger: but they that seek the LORD shall not want any good thing.

Has it snowed where you live? They keep talking about snow around Nashville but so far none has fallen. Somehow, I just believe we will get some before long.

I bet you are ready for warmer weather so you can get back into the water. A lot of your pictures have been in, or near the water, so I figure you must like that a lot. When I go to church camp, the kids all try to dunk me because I'm so big and they like a challenge. I usually just let them dunk me the first day and then they'll leave me alone the rest of the week!

I hope you are having some incredible days full of God's blessings and love. Keep lookin' up!

Hey Will!

How are you doing BIG guy? I used the word "BIG" because size isn't always measured in inches and pounds. I think you are VERY BIG because I believe size is measured by what's on the inside. And you have a huge inside-a big heart, a great attitude, and a positive nature which just about makes you the biggest young man I know!!

I know it's tough being picked on. I was always picked on for being fat and wearing glasses. I know how tough it is to get picked on and I wish there was something that would make other boys and girls not act that way. But, they are going to, so you just keep on being big on the inside and one day they are going to wish they had some of your bigness too! You also have an advantage over them. They can only get so tall, but there is no limit to how big you can be on the inside. So, keep it coming BIG GUY!!!!

Thanks for sharing some of your BIG attitude with me. I appreciate knowing such a super guy and getting to call you my friend!

I appreciate you and I love you BIG TIME!!

The LORD is thy keeper: the LORD is thy shade upon thy right hand. The sun shall not smite thee by day, nor the moon by night. The LORD shall preserve thee from all evil: he shall preserve thy soul.

I just wanted to take a minute today to thank you for sharing your family and all you're going through with everyone. I know that some have gone through added trials because of it (having to deal with spammers and those who feel the need to pick apart everything that the family is doing, etc). But being able to read the updates, to pray for your family, has given me an insight on life that I wouldn't have otherwise. It is through you and the others who continue to share that I have learned and am learning to the extent that anyone can who's not in your situation, to truly number my days. And what a blessing to be among those who are praying for you!

These verses are really special. They start out with everything that's going wrong, yet in the midst of all that the author rejoices in the Lord!
May the Lord be with you on this day of Thanksgiving!
Hab.3:17-19: Although the fig tree shall not blossom, neither shall fruit be in the vines; the labour of the olive shall fail, and the fields shall yield no meat; the flock shall be cut off from the fold, and there shall be no herd in the stalls: Yet I will rejoice in the LORD, I will joy in the God of my salvation. The LORD God is my strength, and he will make my feet like hinds' feet, and he will make me to walk upon mine high places.

"Enter his gates with thanksgiving and his courts with praise; give thanks to him and praise his name. For the LORD is good and his love endures forever; his faithfulness continues through all generations."

Psalms 100:4-5 (NIV)

For those who may have an empty chair at the table this year, I know God can fill your heart with cherished memories and help you have the comfort of his love and care.

For those who are facing tough obstacles, waiting for test results, facing surgery or chemo, or spending the holiday in a hospital room, God will give you the strength to guide your steps and I trust family and friends will be there to sustain you.

Happy Thanksgiving!

In Christian love,

Wayne / Mr. Wayne

I must say you certainly do become more aware of death and dreams sometimes feel so distance. My heart was with you tonight as I read. The longing that I feel for "guarentees" of certain things in life. However, as you said...we still have faith and hope.

Hey Will,

I took one of the teens from church out for ice cream yesterday to celebrate his birthday. I got a double scoop cone and it was running all over my hand before I could get going good. So, I guess we have something in common-we eat ice cream kind of messy!!

But you know what? It still tasted really FINE! Although, my fingers wanted to stick to the steering wheel driving home!!

If you and mom ever come visit around this part of the country, maybe we can get some ice cream. MY TREAT!!!

Love,
Mr. Wayne

THIRD GRADE! Wow, where does the time go? So what does it feel like to be a big third grader? It won't be any time before you'll be in middle school and then high school and then college and then.... Wooooooooo, slow down Mr. Wayne. Your rushing things way to fast! Mom is going to freak out!!!

Anyway, I think its fantastic that you are a third grader. If you have trouble with any of your subjects, just give me a call. No, I can't help one bit but I'll find someone who can!

Looking at those pictures makes me want to take James Christopher to a water park. I pray strength for you each day and peace for you tomorrow!! May the Lord our God hold you and Will in the palm of his hand and hide you under his wings. We have already prayed for you and Will tonight. It was an honor to lift you both up in prayer.

So often when words are hard to find when praying, it helps to turn to the Psalms and pray the words found there.

I saw the new pictures mom put up and they sure look great! You and sis make a good pair. You are
lucky to have such a wonderful sister and I bet she is also lucky to have such a great brother!!!

There's just one thing... Since when did you think sis needed help with her hair???? Bunny ears huh!
I bet she will get you good for that one.

I hope you have a good trip to Ohio and an even better one to the beach.

Thanks for sharing so many smiling pictures of such a handsome young man with all of us! I happen to
believe you have an awesome attitude and a great spirit and it just shows even more through that smile!!

Keep lookin' up and let God smile down on you.

It's just not right that a child should have to experience the loss of a friend. But isn't it amazing how resiliant children are? I thought that of Marissa (Coley's sister) when we met her a couple of weekends ago. She took to Wesley so quickly. I think maybe Wesley reminded her of Coley because they both looked alike. Children endure life so much better than we do. I am so sorry for the pain you are all feeling and you're right, the hardest time for Brenda and her family is going to be when life gets back to normal for everyone else. Hugs to you and Brenda. I hope she does make it to camp.

So sorry to hear of your friend. That is very sad; I am very proud of how you are trying to be brave though, Will. I will be praying for you and your family, and of course for your friends family. The balloons are beautiful. THanks so much for sharing the pictures with "us". I really do appreciate it. I will continue to pray for you and your family... and all of the "others" that are needing it right now too.

Hi Will,

I'm so sorry about your friend Robbie. He was lucky to have someone like you for a friend!
It is really hard to understand why people die and especially when it is someone very young.
Not even us adults understand that one, so don't feel bad if it doesn't make sense to you. It doesn't
make sense to us either.

Just remember that God loves you and he will take care of you even when things happen that might be scary
and make you feel sad. Mom is ALWAYS going to be there to take care of you too.

Keep Robbie in your heart and remember the fun times you shared together.

And if you need an extra hug, I'm sure mom would be just the person to give you all you need.

I love you!

Mr. Wayne

Kayla {{{hugs}}} I'm so sorry you had to tell Will that Robbie died... NOBODY should have to go through losing a child... and children shouldn't have to deal with death... it's just all so unfair. Unfortunately it's part of this miserable disease. I hate it! Poor Ty is still struggling with having lost his friend, T, at transplant. It's rough. And it really strips away their innocence... that invincibility that most kids feel. Hugs for both of you.

Hey Will!

What you up to? Are you staying cool this summer? OOPS, what was I thinking. You are one cool dude, so
that question wasn't even needed!!

Seems like I heard someone you know might be having a birthday right about now. Have you gotten them
the perfect gift? Now, before you get all excited about getting a present, I have a suggestion.
Make something yourself. Get some paper, some markers, and just create something pretty for that special
person. I bet they will like a home made gift a lot better than a store bought one any day!

I hope you are having a good summer break from school. Have fun playing with your friends. Enjoy something
cool to eat-like ICE CREAM. YUMMY!! And, maybe play in the pool a little to keep the heat away.

Thanks for the blessings big guy! I appreciate you and I love you bunches and bunches!

Love,
Mr. Wayne

Like you said: "We’ve never done weekly labs before. I kind of wish we had prior to this study. Then I would know if this is normal for Will. I have been told that counts can fluctuate from one day to another. I don’t know if that is what is going on or not". It might not be the new treatment. Don't beat yourself up like this! You knew this was a study went you signed that paper; you signed it with high hopes of helping your son! NO MATTER WHAT happens, and WHY; you did what any parent would do; try to help your son! No matter what, you have to remember that! I am so sorry you are going through such a rough time right now, I'll continue to keep you guys in my prayers. TRY not to worry right now, you won't get over your illness if you do, it will lower you immune system; and neither of you need that right now. I know, it's WAY easier said than done, but thanks to your update I'm sure there are thousands of prayers going out for you guys right now. Put it in gods hands and try to rest!

Hello Kayla,
I don't know what to say. I sympathise and eympathise with how you are feeling. I am praying hard that the marrow this August shows really good results. Sometimes it feels like it is not possible. I am sorry that I missed the entry about the devastating marrow results. And I completely understand how you feel with the basic trend of the bloods may be mirroring the marrow results. But never lose heart. God is the God of the impossible. He is the God of Hope and of Miracles. I was devastated when my marrow in Febraury and in March this year showed that my blast count had risen from 2% to 14%...which showed definite pre-leukaemia. I can say that over this year I have never exprienced as much heart ache, panic, fatigue, grief, dread...for a very, very long time. This disease has always caused huge emotional disturbance...but Jesus has always given me reassurance and guidance and I have had an incredible peace about His role in my life. In your entry about the bad marrow results you talked about believing in the power of prayer. I really believe in the power of Prayer. When there is nothing else to hold on...hold on to God...hold on to Jesus...because with my marrow results at the beginning of this year....I felt like I had nothing else to hold on to. My family and church have been meeting every Thursday for a prayer meeting to seek God and ask for His divine interferance in my marrow results. .....and He has done a miraculous thing. My blast count that was 14% in my marrow draw....was re-tested twice after weeks and weeks of prayer....and the blast count had decreased to 6%...and under 5% is normal...I know it is not perfect and I am still in a danger zone...but the Lord God Almighty brough my count down....something the doctors told me would not happen...my devastating results have decreased to just upsetting results...the fear of the blast count coming up again is real...but we continue to meet together and pray every Thursday. God is real and His miracles are real....Nothing is impossible for God...He can change marrow results....Doctors may try and find a reason for everything...but sometimes the only reason is because God has touched that person. I will be praying. You touch my heart. Sorry for the long entry my love. I love you very much and I feel your heart break very much. I feel heart break over things like transplant every day. I cry and get emotional...but Jesus is still so faithful to me. Praise the Lord. I better stop writing before I take up the whole page and more!
I love you Kayla and I love you Will. I am sorry that you are unwell Kayla...and pray that you feel totally better soon. And always feel welcome to write me if you want.
Lots of love,

I was sorry we didn't get a chance to meet at Ohio. We were just there at different times so I guess I just have to send you a cyber hug. You must be so emotionally drained but know you are not alone with all this. Don't second guess yourself about the Embrel study either. The docs talked to us about the study too and we would probably do it if we didn't have to go to Cincy every three months. Just too far for us but I think you are making the right choice to try. Just think how far science has come the past 10 years. Who knows what break through will be around the corner. Please know I'm thinking about you guys and check on you all the time. Hugs.

Hello Kayla,
I am sorry that your heart is aching so much. These trials are very hard and it is emotionally draining. I, also, am sorry about the donor situation. Yes, that is good but I also understand how you feel about him not having a perfect match. I, myself, feel scared about that sort of stuff and I don't want to go to transplant either...it scares me. I spend a lot of time crying out to Jesus, asking Him to give me grace and mercy...which I know He does...but sometimes things feel so unfair. My platelet count jumps around too making me feel uncomfortable. I have always "looked" more at my platelet count than any other count. It seems to be the one that has a general trend...but then it is the one that most frequently jumps around from day to day...and it sometimes makes you feel a bit freaked out. Praise God that it does this for normal people too...otherwise I would freak out more than usual...it is normal to feel freaked out and to wonder whether there is a "change" or whether it is everyday "jumping around". I pray that Jesus will give you a reassurance more than you could ever know....I have a reassurance amongst the "mess" feeling. But that doesn't mean I don't experience lots of emotions. But Jesus can still give you that amazing comfort and assurance. I pray that tonight He gives you a whole lot of that. You are so sweet, Kayla....and you have such a tender heart and such love for Will. You bless me.
Lots of love,

Just wanted to say Hello. I still pray for Will and the Pearl brother and sister in St.Louis, Matthew has almost ran out of time for marrow transplant and his counts are getting very dangerous. I know you want a perfect match, but as you said, at least you have a chance, Right now Matt doesn't even have that, Please keep your spirit's up, Lean on GOD, and know there is alot of people who care for you and WIll. Praying for a cure for Will and Matt and ALL the children.

Hey Will,

It sounds like you had a good time in Cincy. I've never been to the park but my son has and
he had a blast. I'm glad you and mom got to spend some time there.

Are you getting excited about summer break? I used to get really pumped up over school letting out.
I guess from reading mom's last update, you will spend a good part of your summer in the pool!
You must be part fish to love the water so much and swim as much as you do!

Well, I better get ready to work. I hope you are having some fantastic days.

Thank you for being such an awesome guy!! I really appreciate the positive attitude and the

It was so sweet to hear how you guys got to have a mini vacation together and good job with the shot. I hope this study works for Will!

Please call me and let me know. We all think and of you and Will and you are in our prayers.

Kayla ~ {{{hugs}}} I'm sorry it's not the news you were hoping for/expecting. We were right where you are now just a year and a half ago... and your reaction reminds me of just how heart-wrenching it was/is (that tends to fade, thankfully!). Going to transplant was all we could do, and to see Ty today...well it's truly amazing what his transplant has done for him (he feels better, 'normal'!) and for us (it's given us more time). You and Will are always in our prayers. Will is so lucky to have you for his mom!

Hey Will,

I think mom said today would be your first day to wear your new glasses. Did you have trouble
going up and down steps? That was the hardest part for me when I started wearing glasses.
I probably looked funny to everyone else as I tried to reach out with my foot and find the next step!

I think I was about 8 or 9 when I started wearing glasses and have ever since. I bet they are going
to make you look very sophisticated. (Ask mom what that means. It means one awesome dude!!!!)

Give mom a message for me too. I think she wrote a really good entry in her last journal! Tell her that
I know Jesus loves you both very much.

I love you too!

I hope Will is doing okay with his glasses. When kids ask about Wesley's hearing aid I always just ask if they know anyone who wears glasses. They usually say yes and I tell them people wear glasses to help them see better and Wesley wears a hearing aid to help him hear better. That usually pacifies them. I can't wait to see Will in his new glasses at camp. I bet he's so handsome.

That is wonderful you got to meet Robbie. I check on him and I'm so glad he is going home soon. Good luck with Angel flight and tell Will to stay strong. Thinking of you guys.

Hi Will!

I hope you are doing great today. As soon as you get your new glasses, I hope you will let mom take
a picture and show us. I think you are going to be one handsome dude wearing those things.
I wore contacts a few years back and my wife didn't like them. She thinks I look good in glasses.
(Maybe she's the one who needs glasses!)
Anywho, you are already a very handsome young man and I think glasses are just going to make you even
more so!!!

I hope you are having great days full of fun things to do, friends to play with, and some of God's
great blessings!

Thank you for blessing me!

Hip hop, hippety hop
My “Easter Bunny” went off to the shop,
He bought me an egg and lots of chocs
And packed them into a cardboard box.
Then he wrapped it with paper and shiny string
It really was such a pretty thing.
Disaster struck when I opened the door-
He slid across the parquet floor,
He went round the corner and past the stairs
And finished up in a pile of chairs.
Of the Easter goodies not a trace,
he’d thrown them into my fireplace!
So a warning before you go opening doors
Make sure your “Bunny” has non-slip paws!

Wow-robbie willams!! :)

Happy Easter

Hi Will and Kayla!

First of all, I have to say a big Happy (belated) Birthday to you, Will!!! Congrats on being EIGHT! Wow, I can't even imagine how much bigger you are now than when last I saw you...I think you must have only been 5 then!

Anyway, I just thought I'd check in and say hello to you all! I'm helping to organize a Bone Marrow Registration Drive on campus tomorrow. For me, being involved is so much inspired by all the incredible FA kids and families I've met (especially you guys!). You've definitely been in my thoughts and prayers more than usual these last few days as we get things organized and recruit donors. I'm excited and hopeful that we get a bunch of people registered tomorrow!

I was just checking the Camp Sunshine website to see if I might be able to make it to the FA session this summer but unfortunately since it's in July this year, I'll still be working down at Camp Holiday Trails in Charlottesville. What are your plans for the summer? Are you going to Victory Junction Gang Camp, Will? If so, that sounds like it's a pretty fun place!!

All my love, thoughts and prayers,
Anne

Hi Will,

I was about your age when I started wearing glasses. And yeah, some of the kids called me names.
But, it's no big deal. The ones who are going to call you names will find something to use.
You are either fat or skinny, short or tall, blue eyes or brown eyes. My favorite was, "Your mama wears
Army boots!"

So, don't sweat the small stuff. You are too good a young man and a great guy to let it bother you.

You just keep being the awesome guy who blesses my life every single day!!!!!!

I hope you and mom have a productive time in Cinci.

I love you!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY WILL!

Tomorrow is our big day. You get another year older and I set off the smoke alarm in our house!
Want to trade a few candles? Nah, I better not. I'm old enough and you sure don't want to be younger.

I'm taking tomorrow off so I wanted to wish you a VERY HAPPY BIRTHDAY wish today.

Eat some cake and ice cream for me too. And, tell mom to give you a giant birthday hug from ME!

Love,
Mr. Wayne

Hey Will!

Guess what! Next week is gonna be somebody's birthday. Yeah, MINE! I'm gonna be $%^ years old. I sure
wish you lived closer so you could come hold the fire extinguisher while they light the candles!

Ah, I'm just kidding. It really is my birthday next week, but I know somebody real special is also having
a birthday on the same day! It's been a longgggg time since I was 8.

Birthdays are really special times when you get to have presents, parties, and CAKE & ICE CREAM. Yummy!
I bet mom is planning something really great for your special day.

Thanks for being such an inspiration to me and many others. You are an awesome young guy!

Keep lookin' up.

But, I still think about you a lot and hope that you are doing well.

Glad to hear you are having a slow month. I hope Will's counts are okay and the kids on his basketball team learn to involve everyone on the team instead of focusing on winning. I always thought that was what being on a team was about. As long as Will enjoys it all that is what matters! I'm so happy to hear that your new addition to the family is going over so well. There is nothing like a boy and his dog. Collin loves our dog too. Wesley just beats her up :0) I'm just kidding. Actually the other day I walked into the room and Wesley had his arm around the dog, which is twice as tall as he is. It was cute. Hope all is well and counts are good and mom is hanging in there. Stay strong.

Hey Will Lackey-what's up???

I guess between the dog and basketball, you keep mom hopping. Try to give her a break every once in a while.

You might get a little discouraged at times when the other guys don't pass you the ball. You work really hard
at learning how to dribble, pass, and all the other techniques, and it won't be long before they
will see how good you are. It takes a lot of hard work to be good at anything. Sometimes it does come easier
for some. But, if you are like me, you have to work really hard before you are good at it. Just keep trying
and don't give up. OK!

I hope you have a great day!

Love,
Mr. Wayne

Hi Will,

How are you doing big guy? Those are sure some handsome pictures of an awesome dude! I just believe you
have one of the greatest smiles that I've seen on a young man. Keep em coming.

I wanted to tell you just how much of an impact you are having on so many people. That includes me too.
You might think because you are young and not very big that you wouldn't have much influence on others.
That just is not true! Size isn't measured by a yard stick or a set of scales. Size is measured by
the big heart that someone has. It is measured by the amount of impact you have on others.
So, don't you ever think that your size is not right. It is perfect!!

I just happen to think you have a really big heart. I know your smile is huge. And I know you are one
of the most awesome people because of who you are.

I appreciate you. I hope you never forget how important you are to a lot of people!!

Love,

Caring Bridge friends and family,

‘Form letters’ are not one of my favorite things because they don’t seem very personal. I guess the up-side
is you can reach more people quicker and have a message that contains thoughts you want to share with all.
So, I send you a message during this holiday season that I hope will fill your heart with love, joy, peace,
contentment, happiness, hope, and all the magnificent blessings that are available through our Lord. I hope
this ‘impersonal’ type of message will still share my heart-felt thoughts and love for each of you.

As I began to think of a message, I wondered just how could I find words with the above mentioned
attributes when so many of you are facing tough obstacles. Some are in the middle of treatments. Others
may be waiting for test results. Some have received good news. Others may not. And, some will have an empty chair at the table during Christmas dinner and perhaps less presents under the tree.

No, I cannot find the words to adequately express to you how important you are to me. It is by God’s love,
mercy, and grace that I hope to encourage you during this time of the year.

Many think of Christmas as the birthday of our Lord. I have always thought that the birth of Jesus was far
more important than the actual date. His love for me, his willingness to take my place on that cross, and his
resurrection, all work to give me hope of having an eternal life with him. This time of the year does have the
ability to bring out a renewed sense of devotion and thanksgiving for what Jesus did for us. I hope that in
spite of all the rough roads you are traveling, that you will be able to grasp hold of all the spiritual blessings
that can be found through Jesus.

May God’s richest blessings shower you and your family. May His love sustain you through difficult days.
May you depend on God to help you make your journey one day at a time.

And last, I want to thank each of you for allowing me to be a part of your life. Caring Bridge has opened
doors for me that have provided some of the richest blessings I’ve ever known! I’ve said many times that I
don’t know what you are facing and I don’t have a clue in understanding what each day brings your way.
But you have allowed me to be a part of your ‘world’ and for that I am thankful. I may not say it enough,
but thank you so very much for blessing my life. You and your children have shown me what bravery and
attitude is all about. Young children have been the teacher and an old man has been the student.

Merry Christmas to each of you!

In Christian love,
Mr. Wayne

Kayla...again I am at a loss for words. I can't even imagine what it must be like to have to even think about losing a child. It's been a gloomy day here too, at least in mood... Tomorrow they are going to do an LP to see if my friend's little girl has relapsed in her Leukemia, she is just a baby....three years old. I cry as I write this... I too pray for all those parents who have to worry these worries, and cry the tears for the children they are unable to hold today...

Hey Will,

What's up big guy? You've been rather busy lately with trips, putting up the Christmas tree, and
keeping mom hopping I bet!

Are you getting excited about a special visit from someone wearing a red suit. And, we're not talking fireman
either. I bet you have your Christmas list finished. What are you hoping old St. Nick will bring?

In case you are wondering what to give me, I have a gift idea. I only want one thing from you this
Christmas. I want you to keep being the incredible young guy who blesses me every single day! That's not
too much to ask, is it?

Take care of mom and sister. You are the man of the house you know.

I am sorry that Will's harvest was not the greatest and pray that you find something to help his marrow like you suggested in the journal. Bless you heaps and remember that Jesus is in control even though, we as humans, feel so out of control. Hope you had a great Thanksgiving and I will stop in a another time again.

Kaye, Don't fret about the Bailey dog. Nothing happens without God having already known it would come and He promises that 'all things work together for good for those that love Him and are called according to His purpose'. Even when we make mistakes, He has something better prepared, often with a lesson from the struggle.

I hope Will gets comfortable soon. Maybe a good nights sleep will help. I'm sure there won't be one for you, especially with the guilt of losing his dog. Don't give up hope though. Wesley lost his favorite little animal owl in Walmart and a week later someone finally turned it in. Keep calling and maybe it will surprisingly show up. I hope Will feels better soon. I'll be checking on you guys.

We need to get together soon - call me when you get back from Cincy. I'll email you separately too. I'll be keeping you and Will in my prayers for an easy trip and bone marrow test. The transfusions are not bad, but they may pre-treat with benedryl and watch for reactions. Are you flying? Let me know if I can help in anyway!!

I pray that Will enjoys himself...he certainly sounds like he is planning a sleep over party!!! Bless you and know that the Lord Jesus Christ will be with you and always tell Him about all your fears....I do that....and I try and lean on Him. It can be so hard at times and life can be so scary..but He is the true God who loves you and takes care of you. Bless you heaps.

Kayla, I was just reading Julianna Banana's page, and I think that reading it might help you too. The way her Dad puts things about his fear for Julianna, and their life, well, I think you could relate. Here is her web site
http://www2.caringbridge.org/canada/julianna/index.htm, please go by and read it if you can.

It's hard for those of us who don't have sick kids to truely understand these fears. I think we can imagine it, but to even come close knowing what it is like would be impossible. I have to tell you I hope I never have to... I wish Will didn't either, I pray for a cure for FA daily! Please know though that even though I can't know what your feeling exactly. I know the pain of loving someone with a disease, cancer has been far too frequent a visitor in my to those close to me, my Dad, my Auntie, friends... I will be here if you ever need to just scream, spout off, cry, whatever, ok?

I'm praying for you, and I'm praying for Will.

Find a subject you like, and start with that one, really get into it, and then the other subjects will fall into place a bit more easily :) Oh, and find some fun educational video games, and board games. It wont seem as much like work when your having fun, and you'll find you get into it! I know I did :) Well, the board games, not educational videos, they didn't have those in the olden days ;) LOL!

Hey Will,

Sounds like you had a blast over the weekend. I'm really glad you had such a good time!

Now, we need to talk about this school thing a little.
Are you giving mom a hard time about school?
Are you having trouble studying and doing your homework?
Are you driving mom BONKERS?

Well, if the answer to any of those questions is 'yes', then we might better have a little talk!!!

Nah, I'm not going to give you the third degree. (Ask mom what that means if you don't know.)
But, I do want to encourage you to try your best at school, homework, and learning.
I know it can be hard at times. And, you probably wonder why you have to learn some of that stuff.
It will help you later in life-I PROMISE!!!

So, you try real hard at school, OK. With everything you have been through, school should be a breeze.

I love you!

Sounds like a wonderful weekend! Enjoy it and soak it all up! I think it is the perfect reward for a great Mom like you :) I'm sure Will is going to have a blast too. I know you will miss each other though. I always miss my girl too, even if it's just for a night at her Grandma's! But you will both come back refreshed :)

Kayla,

Have the most wonderful weekend away!! You more than deserve it!!

Will, have lots of fun with Tammy and Jake!! I know it's hard when Mom goes away for a couple of days, but just remember, that doesn't mean that she loves you any less. She loves you so very much!!!

Sending you love and hugs,

It was so nice talking to you the other day. I'm so glad Will did so awesome. I'm sorry his counts looked so low though. That put a pit in my stomach. I know your trip will have uncertain thoughts looming but try to enjoy your time and know that Will will be having fun with his friends. Take care.

Oh, Kayla, {{{{{{{{{HUGS}}}}}}}}}}} Difficult stuff watching Will's counts decline, I know. I remember 'the knot' when Ty's counts crashed earlier this year, but his numbers had been where Will's are now for years (on anadrol and steroids). I hope Will's stay where they are for a long time. No matter what, though, you're not alone. We're all here for you. Hope you get good news about Will's bone marrow. Ty goes for his tomorrow *fingers crossed*. ~Love, Karen

You couldn't have explained it better. My heart goes out to you and I hope you are feeling better soon. I know I freak out for a little while after something changes with Emma. It doesn't even have to be really "serious" - but serious is a relative word. Any change downward is serious to me...I can imagine how scary it is for you. I would be really upset if Emma's platelets were that low! We hope and pray that his platelets hold or that they go back up. We'll be checking in often.

God Bless,

Hey Will,

Have you given your mom a GREAT BIG HUG and told her how much you loved her today??
Well, even if you have, do it again! Your mom is a very special lady who is crazy about you.

I've been called crazy before, but the kind of crazy for you that mom has is a good thing!!

While you and mom are close by, have her give you a hug from me.

I love you!

Will and Kayla,

I haven't been by in such a very long time. I've had to crash my computer a couple of times and have lost all of my links. I am still working on getting some of them back. I got an email from Prayer Bears and wa-la, your link was there. I'm so glad for that.

I'm so sorry that the counts aren't good right now. I wish there were something I could do to help you, besides pray and wear my bracelet and car magnets.

Please know that even though I've not been able to stop by until now, I have not forgotten you guys at all.

Keeping you in our thoughts, prayers and sending lots of love and hugs,

Kayla,
this is Charisse from camp....the 27 year old with FA. I am really sorry to hear of the latest drop in Will's counts. It is so hard when something new happens isn't it? You don't know what to do, you want to kick and shout, you want to break down in tears and nothing feels fair...I understand how you feel. It is hard when things change. I will pray for you. I will pray that Will can stabalise for a long time....although me saying that doesn't give you any comfort....know that Jesus is with you, He is Mighty. Know that I am thinking and praying for your family.
Lots of love,

Hi Mr. Will Lackey!

Has anyone ever called you "Mr" before? I think I remember my mother using the word
a time or two. But somehow the way she said it made me think it wasn't a compliment!!
It went something like, "You better watch it Mister"!

I hope your week was fantastic and that your weekend is even more so!

Have you got your Halloween costume picked out yet? I usually just go as myself and that's scary enough.

I want you to know that Mr. Wayne loves you very much and I hope you keep that smiling face going strong!

Love,
Mr. Wayne

You aren't the only one who knows the date of diagnosis, it doesn't make you crazy in the least! Hope everything goes well with the harvest and biopsy. Wesley went in January to have his marrow harvested at Cincy if you have any questions. It was easy (except for the stress on mom and dad) and Wesley was jumping around the next day singing and signing, "Happy, happy, happy". Dr. Kelly walked in and was shocked. Good luck with things and keep us informed.

I can't even imagine how today, let alone three years ago broke your heart. I just know that being a Mommy too, it would be the worst imaginable feeling in the world :(

would like to help and if we lived closer, I would sure let
you drive my riding mower-if it was OK with mom.

You be mom's big helper around the house. I know that she

Hey Will and Kayla,

Sorry to hear those counts. You are in our thoughts and our prayers. Carowinds sounds like it was a good time. We went once with Will, but the girls have never been.

I know too much about what the heart and what the mind think. It is hard to make decisions when the heart and mind aren't on the same page.

My only advice is to do the best you can and keep that little guy happy and as healthy as possible.

Hello Will and Kayla,
Welcome to the 2nd grade!! You'll do fine!!
Kayla, it is so hard to deal with FA, but try to remember you are not alone and even though we don't talk all the time ; the families and friends that read Will's site are here in spirit with you all the time.
We've finally gotten all the paperwork for Alex processed and a donor is being arranged for Alex's transplant , so we'll be heading to Minneapolis in the near future.
We went to see my oldest son at College of Charleston over the weekend and I wanted to bring him back home with me yesterday-no matter how big they get they'll always be our babies.
I'm doing OK and will start my chemo soon. and I know everything will work out wonderfully.
Alex had bone marrow failure at 10 and his marrow is going strong now. We'll get counts tomorrow and he's going to be OK too.
If you need me , I'm here.

I can't even begin to imagine how this is for you Kayla, but know your in my daily prayers, and I pray each day for a cure for Will and all those with FA. Thanks so much for taking the time to update. I know it's hard, but it is so greatly appreciated by those of us that care about you and Will :)

What's up with you? I haven't read any news lately so
I'm going to say that means you are doing OK. I hope so!

I was hoping to see some camp pictures if you have any. I
know mom is real busy taking care of a lot of different
things. Maybe she'll have time to do some pictures before
too long.

I guess school is going full swing now. I hope you enjoy
going to school. Pay attention and learn everything you can
so you can teach me a thing or two.

Take care of yourself, mom, and sister. And as always,
thank you for blessing my life! You inspire a lot of us to
be better people because you are a great guy!

Hey Will,

I went to church camp about three weeks ago. Camp is such a
wonderful and awesome place. I know you had a blast and I
hope you made lots of new friends during the week.

I never like to leave camp and come home and maybe you feel
the same way too. But, there is no place like home and it
does make camp something to look forward to for next year.

Now comes the hard part. SCHOOL! Oh well, got to make the
best of it no matter how yucky it is. You do good in school
and learn lots of neat things.

Say hi to mom and sister for me. I hope you have one of the
most incredible weekends and that God looks down on each of
you and just pours blessings all over you!

Love,

Hi Will and Kayla :)

Glad you both enjoyed camp! It's a bummer to have to go back to work after a great vacation, your so right! :P If there is anyone in this whole world (other than myself of course ;) that I would like to see win the lottery it would be you guys. It would be such a blessing to FARF and Will :)

I'm so sorry so little is being done for this disease, how sad :( I wonder if there is a way you could get the Today Show or something like that to feature your story, or Oprah? Have you considered writing to them? Sometimes that exposure sheds light on things and gets the ball rolling. Just a thought. You speak so well Kayla, and know so many FA families, it would make for a great show.

Have you gone back to school yet Will? Are you excited? My daughter went to Kindy for the first time this week! It was so sad for Mama, yet exciting for the whole family too!

I keep you all in my prayers daily.

Hello!! It was so neat to get to meet you at camp and watch Will do his cool tricks on the playground. I completely agree with everything you wrote. I hadn't realized quite how important it was that we all raise funds. I had participated the last two years trying to raise funds, but now I feel even more fire burning to do it when I realize that there are only about 500 families that belong to FARF and not all of them raise funds...it's pretty amazing all the families that do raise funds can raise as much as they do, but we still need more. I'm all excited to write my next fundraising letter to put all that info in there now that I understand how truly important it is.

Well...I hope you are having a good time being back home. We'll be checking in often. Stay healthy handsome Will!

Take care,

Will,

WOW, what a nice bike! Is there any rubber left on the
tires? I bet you have put some miles on that puppy! I'm
really proud of you for winning that bike. It just shows us
what an awesome attitude you have. I hope you get lots of
enjoyment riding your new bike.

Are you ready for school? If you aren't going yet, it won't
be long before it starts. I bet you are glad to start so
you can see your friends and favorite teachers.

Thank you so much for being a brave guy and one who still
blesses me each and every day! You will never know how much
of an impact you are making on a lot of us. But, it's true.
Keep on being the awesome young man that you are and I know
God is going to bless your life even more.

Love,
Mr. Wayne

Hi there!

Will, you look so big in that picture of you and the bike (a pretty cool bike for a pretty cool kid). I just thought I'd leave a note since I was thinking about you all and the other FA families since the Camp Sunshine weekend is coming up. I am very, very bummed that I can't be there but unfortunately I didn't think I was going to be free this weekend and when I finally found out that I would be able to attend, there weren't any spots for volunteers left! I'm very disappointed that I can't be there since I love all of the FA families and kids so much and have had so much fun and learned so much from volunteering there the last two summers! I'm especially sad that I don't get to see you again :-(. Anyway, I spent June and July working at a camp in Virginia called Camp Holiday Trails which was really, really fun and filled with great kids and great counselors. Keep it in mind in the future! I plan on working there next summer and hopefully for a number of summers after that. Anyway, I hope that Camp Sunshine is as much fun and joyful as I am sure it will be. Even though I can't be there myself, I send all of my love to camp and all of the great, amazing FA kids and families!

Kayla,

I can't even begin to understand the pain your going through, but I pray each day for a cure for FA. I pray for Will to get the long life we would all love to see him get. My Dad had Multiple Meyloma, and his bone marrow was sick too. I wished he had never gotten it, and I too had questions for God and was angry. It is natural. It doesn't mean that you don't love the Lord, or trust in him, it just means your human. I don't have any answers, but I do know that despite how it seems sometimes, God is not punishing you. He loves you, and even through the hard times of doubt and anger He is holding you. It's those times when you feel like you can't go on, but somehow manage to do so that you can know it's God working in you, holding you up. I'm praying for you and Will Kayla. God be with you both, and make his love apparent to you each day. I'm so sorry Will's counts are down, definately will be praying about the counts too!

So glad your feeling a bit better. Always know your never alone. Regardless of the childs illness we as parents always feel that way sometimes. It's normal and in my opinion healthy! It helps to get mad at the disease rather than take it out on everyone around us ~~winks~~
Hang in there.

What's up big guy? I survived church camp, even with the
heat and humidity. I loved being with the kids and getting
to spend time together praising God and doing goofy things.
I thought about you during the week and hoped that you were
doing good. I'm glad to be back home so I can check on you
a little more often.

You keep that great attitude going. Keep your chin up high

Dear Will and his mother,
I visit your website weekly but I usually don't leave an email. I do every once in a while. I am praying for you and I have others praying for you also. It is okay though that you haven't updated lately. It sounds like you have had a lot going on both physically and emotionally. I can say though I don't know what either one of you are going through but I can say it stinks having cancer. I am sorry that a cute and sweet boy like Will has to go through something so harsh. It really breaks my heart. I have been visiting your website though since 2003. I really enjoy reading about Will. He makes me realize that when life gets tough that it could be so much worse and that I need to appreciate life,the people in my life, and the things I receive in life. He is an inspiration to me and I hope for the best and I will keep praying.
Vanessa Davis <Nessa2Precious4U@aol.com>
Tallapoosa, GA United States - Wednesday, July 27, 2005 0:56 AM CDT

If it helps any, I completely understand how you feel. Everything you wrote felt like I could've written it. My heart really goes out to you right now and I wish there was something magical I could say to make you feel better. I thought I was the only one who felt sad when I heard sad songs and that they ALWAYS make me think of Emma. I can't listen to them anymore. I can't watch sad movies. I think there's already enough sad stuff going on. I know we all have our grief cycle we go through, and it sucks. I hate having to go through it all over and over again. There's always the wondering and waiting when the next surprise will come - then there's the fear that it will all come too soon and why couldn't we just enjoy the time we had? Because we are human and we have to feel the emotions that we have.

I haven't read enough on your website to know if you believe in God - so if this is offensive to you at all, I do apologize. I mean to only share my view on it. I truly believe that the Lord knew what he was doing when he chose parents for these precious little FA children. He knew that it would be hard - but he knew YOU would be the perfect mother for Will. He knew you had the strength inside. It doesn't mean it won't hurt or that it's easy, but you are a special person and were meant to be this precious little man's mother. If it helps at all, focus on what you can control. Sometimes when I am feeling like you are, I eventually have to refocus myself and control what I can because way too often I feel like this disease is completely out of my control. Focus on giving him a good, happy life for while he is here. I don't know why, but when I give that goal to myself, it helps. I still go through the grieving cycle, but it does help a little.

I'm sorry for rambling so much. I hope your sweet mother heart feels better soon. I know we don't really know each other, but feel free to email me anytime you need to. We'll see you at camp (if you're going!).

Take care,
Teresa

How ya doing big guy? I'm getting ready to go to church

I may not get to visit again until the first of August.

I wanted you to know that I was taking your name with me to
camp so that my cabin could pray for you during the week.
I'm very lucky to have a great group of guys in the 7th -
12 grade. I know they are going to lift your name up to God
during the week and you will be blessed big time! I know if
you get just some of the blessings that you give to others,
it will be totally awesome!

Stay cool-temperature wise, I know you are already a cool

(Don't eat too much while riding some of those crazy machines or you might just toss your cookies!) Be sure and get mom to ride some of them with you. She will probably scream and say that she can't, but that's just the way girls are. They really want to ride the scary rides too. Mom will probably want to get me for that one!

I hope you get lots of pictures so we can see what a fun time you had.

See you when you get back.

Love,
Mr. Wayne

HI Will! Wow almost summer break for you! I'll bet you are excited about that! Yesterday I saw a real live bear! I was walking to my car and it was in a dumpster!!!!! I was really scared for a second, but I just kept my distance. haha It really was cute! I think it was a young bear. I just waited until it left to go to my car. Do you have any interesting wild animals where you live? Well have a great weekend Will! :)

Hi Will,

What's up with you these days? Are you into any sports?

The weather is getting warmer and it's now grass cutting time. If you get bored around the house, I can always use an extra driver for the RIDING MOWER. It includes all the drinks, sandwiches, and cookies you can hold. Just have mom drop you off early Saturday morning. You can mow, I'll weed eat, and then we'll head off for pizza! Oh well, it was worth a try.

It has been good to hear all the news and I hope you continue to get better and better. You keep being mom's big helper. I guess sis will be having boys coming around before long so you make sure they treat her right.

Say hi to mom and sis for me.

Way to go Will! Five lbs, and 1/2 an inch?! Your getting to be such a big boy! Your very mature too, taking care of your health, and eating right. I wish I was as good about my eating habits as you are! :)

Sorry to hear you were sore for a few days, but you did a great job during the biopsy I hear. Your very brave!

Will,

Do you think you could come help me learn to drive my car without the extra wheels? I just know you would be the one to help since you are now a master at it. I would bring my car over to your house except my wife won't let me get in the street.

I'm sorry you felt kind of yucky, but maybe it's all over by now. The weather is really nice out and I bet you are burning rubber all over the place. You be very careful and don't go flying out into the road, OK! Man it hurts when you get hit by a bumper. Plus, the bugs taste really bad too!

Love,

Way to go Will. Riding a two wheeler is wonderful.
I am sorry that Will had fever, but am so glad you all had a good Easter. Family is very important especially when you got big stuff in your life.

I pray for you all often, and will be praying on Wed. morning. My Will's hardest part was the NPO. He just thought we were mean.

Best of Luck,

I can see how birthdays would be VERY difficult. I had never heard those stats :( I would want to stop time too! Heck, I already want to stop time, and my little girl isn't sick, it's just that time passes all too quickly with these little ones!! I am praying for a cure for FA though, and that the odds will not even matter anymore, because no one will ever get it again, and those that have it will be cured! Hey, I know it sounds like a long shot, but with prayer ALL things are possible! Even if the cure isn't found immediately, let it be found! I am tired of seeing these babies get this nasty disease!!

Ok, on a lighter note :) I'm happy Will enjoyed Robots, and is going to get some great birthday gifts! What a great Mom you are, and the gifts are only a tiny part of that! :)

I'm praying for you guys.

I need some help with something. It seems like there is an important event next week, but I just can't seem to remember what it is. Do you have any idea of what it might be? It's driving me crazy trying to figure it out. I guess that's the problem with getting older-you start forgetting stuff. Now, what is it we were talking about? Oh yeah, my forgetfullness. So, if you have any idea what is so important about next week, would you please let me know so it won't keep making me bonkers?

Thanks so much! I hope you have a great weekend.

Just stopped by to let you know I still think of you guys all the time. It is hard sometimes to visit your site. I sure am glad you are holding your own. Good luck with the biopsy. My little Will's hardest time with all this stuff was patience, he had next to none. He was cranky alot. At home, he was easy going.

Well, I hope you all had a wonderful trip to Va. My girls always enjoy a trip. I am glad you have a wonderful friend to take with you. My girls always have each other. It is nice.

Well, keep up the good work. I hope school is going well and you like it.

Remember you are in my thoughts and prayers.

Emily,

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!! Wow, 13 huh? I better tell Will that he needs to keep a watch on the boys.

Thank you for being a good big sister to Will. I know that mom appreciates all your help and that Will is lucky to have someone who loves him like you do.

Hope you have a great birthday. Bye the way, you know what's great about having a leap-year birthday? When you are really old, you can give your 'real' age without telling a lie!!

Give Will a hug and tell him that Mr. Wayne says, 'hey'.

In Christian love,
Mr. Wayne

Will, tell your mom to get a teddy bear okay, or maybe she needs a blankie to help her out. But I understand, you do look cuddly. Now do me a favor and tell Cierra its time for her to get in her own bed. I am tired of getting kicked in the head at night from all her squirming.

Sleeping in your own bed is wonderful and it's great to be a little independant! You'll have to give you Mom extra hugs to help her through this transition! She is going to have to realize you are growing up!!!! Next, comes your own car keys!!! Whooo Hoooo!

We are also your family. I am a mother with a son just in remission from rhabdomyosarcoma, and I use my webpage journal to vent all the time. It is my free psychiatric counseling!!!! You have every right to be angry. Our sons don't deserve to go through life like this and we don't either, so venting is good.
I understand how the close ones never ask or visit anymore...they have moved on with their lives and I am wondering how the world can cont. when I am at a dead hault. Praying for a cure,

I hope you have a great weekend. Keep on being the super guy who blesses me every day!

Kayla ~ You're not alone. {{{{hugs}}}} We love you, Will and Emily. We're here for you. We can SO relate to how you're feeling. This really is SO hard... hard to watch our kids going through it, hard to watch our families agonizing over every 'little' FA thing, hard to feel some sense of normalcy, when there is not much normal about caring for kids with FA, and hard sometimes to even find the HOPE we need to get through each phase. Facing transplant in the next few weeks, I've felt my world sort of spiraling out of control... but then I really realized this week that I'm never the one in control... and whether MY prayers for MY will be done are answered or not is not relevant... what IS is that I know God is in control at all times, and that it's His will be done that I need to focus on. I swear, I look at my son's sweet face, love his funny sense of humor, and brilliant smile... I just can't believe my good fortune. And, like you, I'm just relishing each and every moment, appreciating every 'little' thing with him... like today we went for an appointment and saw that the manatees were out. We counted over 54 of them in this one tiny little canal area. What a sight. Something we'll never forget, and never forget that we did together. I hate FA. I hate what it does to families. But honestly, if it weren't for FA, we'd have never had the chance to even know our son... and I can't imagine life without having known him. What a wonderful thing to come of FA for me. Hang in there! The longer Will can stay healthy and strong, the better chance he has of seeing a cure. I'm so excited about all the advancements being made and all the research dollars going towards this end. We continue to pray for Will and you.

Hi Will,

I hear you are playing basketball. That's great. I never played any sports in school, but I always liked playing basketball in our neighborhood. I played a position called 'AO'. That stands for 'all over'. I'm glad you are on a team. Wish I could come to one of your games. Maybe mom can take some pictures and share with us.

You keep being the awesome guy who inspires me every day! And, don't forget to be mom's big helper around the house.

Love,

Hope everything goes well and you get to have a harvest done. Dr. Harris did an excellent job on Wesley! Good luck and I'm all for the donating fat cells thing! Wesley could use some chunking up too.

Hey Will...

I'm sorry to hear that things are so rough right now. I wish I could wave a magic wand and make you and everyone else all better!! But I can't. However, I can continue to keep you in my thoughts and prayers.

I'm really hoping that your urge to eat and drink come back and with a vengance. I would hate to see you end up with a feeding tube.

I have to take my daughter to the doctor today, so I guess I better get her out of her bed. She's lazy bones!! She is going to be a mommy in about 18 days or so. YIPEE for me, that makes me the Gramma!!

Wishing you all a good day!!!!

I hope that all goes well with Will and that you can encourage him to eat more - I know how hard that can be. Jordan does okay with eating but is very picky. We will be praying for you and Will.

I am glad that Will's blood work was good. I keep him in my prayers. I will add your dad to the list.

Sorry it has been so long since I have been here. I have been concentrating on giving my girls a memorable Christmas Holiday and time with the family.

Wow, this has been the longest time that I've gone without signing your guestbook and I feel awfully about it! I just realized today that it's probably been months since I last signed...I guess I hadn't realized it before because I've been checking your journal so often that I completely forgot that I hadn't signed in such a long time. Anyway, I just finished my first semester at Princeton and have been enjoying my time here...but studying to become a doctor does take a lot of hard work (as it should!). Don't worry though, I'm going to do it now matter how hard it is...I know my calling is to work with amazing kids like you, Will (though none will be quite as special as you). I hope everything is going well. I'm sorry to hear about Jo's passing. I know she was a very important person to you both. Now, she's at peace with God and always watching over you both I'm sure. Okay, I really just wanted to check in quickly and let you know that, even though I haven't signed in far too long, Will and Kayla, you both are always in my thoughts and prayers. Have a VERY Merry Christmas!!-Anne

Hi Kayla,
Thanks so much for visiting my grandson, Ty's web-site. It is so exciting for him to have people leave messages. The site you created for Will is incredible and your words at your other Moms funeral were beautiful. I hope you all managed to have a wonderful Thanksgiving. We will keep Will in our thoughts and prayers. Keep up the fight. Fondely, Sissy Wall

Hi Will,

Did you have a good Thanksgiving. I hope you didn't do like me and get stuffed. Now I know how the turkey feels!

Sorry to hear about your Nana Jo. It always feels kind of sad when someone we know leaves this earth. But, we can always remember them through the memories we have tucked away in our heart.

It's hard to believe that Christmas is just a few weeks away. Have you got your list ready for Santa? (I'm sort of worried that I may be on his 'naughty' list.)

Thanks for being such a great guy!

Love,
Mr. Wayne

Oh Kayla, I am so sorry. I had not kept up with anybody's journal since I have been in the hospital again and with my surgery and illness. I heard your message today on my answering machine but had my home nurse here sticking me yet again for my Ivs that only last a day but I will get my port after Thanksgiving for my treatment to start. I wish I had known so I could have grabbed the phone anyway. I know Jo was so special to you, a 2nd mom to you. Seems like things happened so fast with her. They usually do once they make peace. I bet she is walking or running, maybe even jumping, with Matthew in heaven. please call me if you need anything or just want someone to talk to

Hey Will,

I see where you got a flu shot. Bummer! I'm sorry you had to get a needle stick when you probably have gotten enough of those to last a lifetime. When I enlisted into the Air Force several years ago, we had to get a bunch of shots. Sometimes we would get 3 or 4 at the same time. OUCH! Getting stuck with a needle isn't fun, but it sure helps our body work better when we get the medicine we need.

I'm very proud of you for not wanting to be greedy and go out for more candy while you were trick-or-treating! You are quite the mature young man!

Love,
Mr. Wayne

Hi Will,

Did you have a good Halloween? I bet you got lots of good treats. But, did you give out any tricks???? Is mom going bonkers yet with all the sugar in your system? Take it easy on her and don't drive her batty, OK.

Hey Will,
Knowing that you are such a fan of Hendricks, I thought you might want this information I got from gordonline.com.
( I hope you don't mind my putting it here in your book, as those families could use all the thoughts and prayers they can get)

In remembrance of the 10 individuals who lost their lives on Sunday, Hendrick Motorsports will hold
a candlelight service Wednesday, Oct. 27 from 6-8 pm. Open to the public, the ceremony will be held at
the Hendrick Motorsports complex, located at 4400 Papa Joe Hendrick Blvd. in Charlotte, North Carolina.
The program, led by members of Motor Racing Outreach, will also include crew chief Robbie Loomis.
Parking is available on the complex as space permits and candles will be provided.
If you can't make it to the service, please light a candle in your homes on Wednesday night in remembrance.

Keep your chin up, Will!!

Have a good week!

Moving FORWARD with you.....

Hi Yall just thought I would stop by and say Happy Fall to you all. I read your journal and know how you feel. I felt like that many many times before transplant. The first time we went to the FA family meeting( that was when it was in Wisconsin)I looked around and though I don't want to be here I don't want to know these people I DON'T want to know FA!! That change quickly and needed to learn all I could because as you say on look at those smiles and who wouldn't walk to the ends of the earth on hot coals to save them. I have to honstely tell you I didn't think that a "cure" was in Marshall's future, I didn't think he would survive transplant. . .but God proved me wrong. . .I put my FAITH (Fantastic Adventure In Trusting Him) in His Hands. I'll never be able to praise him enough. Sorry to ramble on like this I really just want to tell you that I was thinking of the both of you today and saying an extra special prayer for you tonight. Take care and Many Many BLESSINGS.

Hi Will,

How ya doing big guy? I wanted to let you know that I was thinking about you and hope everything is going smooth for you. Are you having a good year at school? School was a struggle for me. Actually, I just about hated school. But I imagine you are doing great and love school a bunch. Learn a lot and maybe you can teach me a thing or two.
