Even youths grow tired and weary, and young men stumble and fall; but those who hope in the LORD will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint. ISAIAH 40:30-31




"YOU GAIN STRENGTH, COURAGE, AND CONFIDENCE BY EVERY EXPERIENCE IN WHICH YOU REALLY STOP AND LOOK FEAR IN THE FACE.

YOU ARE ABLE TO SAY TO YOURSELF: "I HAVE LIVED THROUGH THE HORROR. I CAN TAKE THE NEXT THING THAT COMES ALONG..."

YOU MUST DO THE NEXT THING YOU THINK YOU CANNOT DO.
Eleanor Roosevelt



This page was started in 2004 when our son Cameron was diagnosed with NB Stage IV. Cameron went through 7 rounds of high dose Chemo, 2 pre-transplant rounds of chemo, 2 stem cell transplants in Texas, a 12 hour surgery performed by the worlds best surgeon for this kind of tumor in NY at MSKCC, 4 weeks of daily radiation, and 2 doses of Accutane. He went through 30-40 blood transfusions, 20-30 plattlete trasfusions and over 50-60 scans and tests. This was all done in a 14 month period. Although he endured all of these things it only bought us time with our son. He went to be with Jesus on July 13th at the age of 4 years 6 months and 3 days. Feel free to read our story and learn what our life was like through our sons journey of childhood cancer. It is now used to help people realize what life is like for those trying to understand us and hopefully there for those who have been in our shoes and just need someone that understands them. Please keep all those still fighting in your prayers along with their families for it is a difficult life to live. Thank you for everyone out there that has been by our sides through our good times and our bad. If it werent for people like you where would we be?
God Bless You All,
Mike, Jamie, Angel Cameron, Madison and baby Hadley

TRY TO UNDERSTAND
Last night while I was trying to sleep,
My son's voice I did hear
I opened my eyes and looked around,
But he did not appear.
He said: "Mom you've got to listen,
You've got to understand
God didnt take me from you, mom
He only took my hand.
When I called out in pain that night,
The instant that I died,
He reached down and took my hand,
And pulled me to His side.
He pulled me up and saved me
From the misery and pain.
My body was hurt so badly inside,
I could never be the same.
My search is really over now,
I've found happiness within,
All the answers to my empty dreams
And all that might have been.
I love you all and miss you so,
And I'll always be nearby,
My body's gone forever
But my SPIRIT WILL NEVER DIE!
And so, you must all go on now,
Live one day at a time.
Just understand -
God did not take me from you,
He only took my hand.
Written by Susan R. George Shipman








My silent child
our precious baby,
Close to my heart
I'll keep you with me.
An important job
God has for you,
There is love to give,
and work to do.
He needs an angel
strong but small,
To shine light on many
and give love to all.
Before you go
I give you this,
half my heart
and one last kiss.
We'll miss you dearly
that we know,
But by God you were
chosen,
So to heaven, you must go

by Kelly Lancor



God saw you getting tired
And a cure was not to be
So he put his arms around you
And whispered, come to Me
With tearful eyes we watched you suffer
And saw you fade away
Although we loved you dearly,
We could not make you stay.
A golden heart stopped beating,
Hard working hands to rest.
God broke our hearts to prove to us
He only takes THE BEST!












Love is not a matter of counting the years, it's a matter of making the YEARS count -Theophrastus






Be who you are and say what you feel Because those who mind don't matter And those who matter don't mind.
Dr. Seuss

Ok I appologize first thing about not updating sooner. It has been kind of crazy here and there. From where I left off I had my tubes tied on the 13th of August within a few days of having that I began having sever abdominal pain and running a high fever. This meaning I had to call dr and had to travel 2 and a half hours back to okc. Mom kept the kids and dad took me. We arrived at 1230 am! They ran blood tests and showed i had an infection but it couldnt be found. I continued to have the pain. They admitted me and tryed to get pain under control. By Monday afternoon they had decided to go in laproscopic and see if they could find the problem. At that time they would also do the hysterectomy. Once they got in they discovered that where she had cut my tube and fried it, the tube had a reaction to it and swelled up and attached to my stomach. So she had to cut it off my stomach and took the tube and uterus all out. I was in the hospital tell Wed. My liver test came back negative thank goodness so now we just have to set and watch it. IT has taken a very long time to recover. I guess its a major surgery and im not used to being layed up for awhile. haha Im doing better and finally got back to running this last weekend. The girls are doing great also. Hadley turned 1 on the 7th of Sep. She is getting so big and is walking all over the place, she is going to be our dare devil! ugh Mike is back in the states and is scheduled to be home on Monday the 13th which will make it 286 days since we have seen him. HE has actually been gone since Sep 8th and home one week at Christmas, but as far as not seeing him at all it was Jan 1. He has only seen Hadley the day she was born and the 1 week at Christmas. It will be fun to get them together agian, we are excited about that. Madison is excited to see him because she wants to go to the Memphis zoo. haha We began our house a few months ago also and they are moving right along. They are scheduled to paint the inside this Fri. It is said to be complete in the beginning of Jan. Im praying for earlier in end of Dec. OTher then that all is well. Sorry it has taken this long for the update and thank you to all those who check in on us.
God Speed,
Jamie
