She will have 14 total rounds of chemo and had 3 ribs and part of her diaphragm amputated in October of 2003. She is kicking cancer butt and right now is cancer free.

Well we made it. Five, 5, Five years, twelve days and seven odd hours or so since we unhooked our little girl from her last round of chemo and walked off the seventh floor of Meritcare hospital for the last time. I will probably never get over the feeling that it was just yesterday but it has been five years already. Damn. So much has happened in these past five years, so many fears, set backs, health scares, but also so much growth, love and renewal that I am just constantly amazed. Everytime I look at Maddy I am overcome with such a deep feeling of gratitude for just the simple fact that I have her to look at. She is growing into such a beautiful young lady that I can hardly believe she is my little girl. I am confident in her future and that it will be as bright and beautiful as she is. What a difference a few years can make, huh?

Spring has finally reached our valley and with it a renewal of spirits here that appropriately coincides with Maddy's five years of remission. It is a time to cultivate the garden in the backyard as well as the garden of our minds and prepare ourselves for the change of a new positive direction in our lives. I am anxious to see what blooms.

I hope this spring finds you cultivating your own gardens of positive change and planting the seeds of hope and renewal in your hearts.

God Bless.
