I just wanted to say how awesome you are Mitchel. I have had the honor of working with your father and he has been keeping up updated on you but now I will be able to keep up even more since I don't get to talk to your dad everyday. There isn't a day that don't go by that I don't think of you and say a prayer for you and your family. Continue to give God all praise. God Bless!

They always "forget" to tell you about the tiredness about 7 weeks after but Owen always got it and it will pass, it really will. Just give Mitchel time and he will be fine very soon. But it is hard if you have to go back and forth to the hospital every day I know. Hope things can move forward very soon. Thinking of you. Love, Karin

My Dearest Daughter: Thank you again for your entries on this web page. I am so thankful that Mitchel went through the Chemo as a champion. I give praise to God for this. I'm believing for divine health for him. I'm very proud of you and Mike and Mitchel for the way that you have taken care of Mitchel and have encouraged him in the Lord. I personally command cancer to be far removed from Mitchel's body in the mighty name of Jesus Christ and stay removed. I do not believe for one second that it is God's will for His beloved ones to be sick. Sickness, sin and death were never in our Heavenly Father's orginal plan for us. When His son, Jesus Christ, died on the cross the power of sickness, sin and death was broken. I rejoice over this truth continually. I like the way Corrie Ten Boon put it. She said: There is no pit so deep that God's love isn't deeper still. Another one of her saying was: God takes our sins and puts them in the depth of the sea and then puts a no fishing sign there.

Our God is so merciful and graious and full of abundant goodness. May God give you the strength you need to finish your course and to accomplish all that you need to accomplish in the next few months and remember you are more than a conqueror through Jesus Christ!

Your Mom, Elizabeth

Hello everyone. Mary as I read your entry it reminded me of a conversation I just had with my son David who is six and a half. Every night we pray for a list of people from church and others and he knows about Mitchel. He always says I pray for mom's friend Mitchel. I said that we needed to pray that the medicine he was getting would not make him so sick and he said what, they are giving him medicine to make him better, but it makes him sick. I had about the same reaction you did; yes, I know it's hard to understand, but that is how it works. Mary, I can't imagine all of the quesitons you get with Mitchel everyday. You are such a strong and wise mother. I believe God will help you have the right words for those difficult questions. I am pryaing for a good trip today. Tell Mitchel and Michael I said hello and I love them.

Dear Mary, Tears were shed yesterday when I told our ladies Bible group about Mitchel's relapse and we had special prayers being prayed for him. We don't know or understand why this is happening but we do know there are no surprises with God. Our bible study has been on Jesus healing the sick and we found it so appropriate to be studying this particular scripture in Luke as we prayed for Mitchel. We will continue to keep you all in our prayers and will watch for updates to share with our group. We send our love to you all. Beth and Johnny

I just wanted you to know that I am praying that Mitchel will be healed and praying for strength for all of you. We know that through Christ all things are possible. Take care and remember you have MANY people praying for you.

Dear Mary and Mike, Oh how our hearts are hurting for you both right now. Our prayer has always been for Mitchel's healing so he can share Jesus with everyone. We don't know God's plans for his life, but we know he has one, and the witness you all will have having gone through all of this, will bring honor and glory to Him. Your faith and trust in Him shines with each journal entry you post, and He will bless you for it. Just be assured we will continue praying for you and trusting with you, that Mitchel will respond to the treatment once again and will be cancer free forever. We send our love, Beth and Johnny

Mike and Mary, I am at a loss for words. This news is devastating. I am praying that the tests will not reveal any more spots. If there was anything I could do to take this away from Mitchel, I would. I will pray faithfully for God to intervene and give Mitchel another miracle. He is a sweet boy and I love him so much. My prayers are with you and all the family.

All my love

Hello Mitchel and Mary,
So glad to hear of the great 5 year mark, what a miracle!!!!!!!!!!! I've tried emailing you the password but mail error keeps coming back. Boomer_Sooner

We do test in December and I think Brian has talked the drs into doing test every 6 months. He told Dr. Meyer I'm tired of being poked!ha Of course I have mixed feelings but it's been a year and 10 months since treatment stopped after relapse. SO..............WHAT DO WE DO!

GIVE THEM HUGS AND KISSES DAILY.

Happy Halloween!

Hi Mary and Mike, Oh how wonderful to read your update today and hear that Mitchel is okay. I was heartsick when I read last week's entry and called all of our prayer warriors and told them. Now I am going to be so happy to call and give them the good report. Our little old ladies group remember each prayer request faithfully and it is reassuring to know that. Praise God for all of the answered prayer in Mitchel's short lifetime and we will continue to hold him up before the throne and believe that he is healed. We send our love to you all. Beth & Johnny

I love you Mitchel!

Dear Mitchell and family,
My Granddaughter Michaela just turned 8 yrs. old in Jan.. She was diagnosed with NB Stage IV this time last year. We certainly understand what you've been going thru. Michaela had surgery about a week after we found out she had a tumor on her Adrenal gland. They removed the entire tumor and gland at the Cleveland Clinic in OH. The tumor was huge - 15cm. We were very scared when they told us it was stage IV. Michaela's dad Michael was in Iraq, so we moved Michaela, my grandson Brian and my daughter Lisa to IL where we live. Michaela has been treated at the Childrens Hsp., Milwaukee, WI (we leave near the IL/WI border). Michaela has had surgery, chemo, bone marrow transplant, radiation and is now on accutane for 6 mos.. It just so happens she is having her MIBG scan today - right now - to see if there is any evidence of cancer in her body. We pray for you and all the children affected by this awful disease. If all goes well, Michaela will have her central line removed from her chest next Friday. We don't know yet if she is rid of this awful disease, but I can tell you she is such a brave little girl - just like you are a brave boy! Perhaps you are teaching all the rest of us grace, bravery, strength and faith in GOD! We will add you to our prayer list too. I cannot believe how many children we hear of that have NB or other types of cancer, when we never heard of it before. It is suppose to be rare, but maybe not so much anymore.
Before I forget how I found your website - Sharon Lein is my sister in law and she attends your Uncles church.
GOD Bless!

Mike and Mary, I have read your latest update twice before and tried to find the perfect thing to say on the guestbook. I can't imagine what it is like for you to go through all the trips and testing alone, but then also to have to see Mitchel upset, in pain and question why. As an outsider looking in, I see two wonderful, kind, patient, and loving parents who have amazing strength and courage. I believe that your faith will see you through and God will help you find just the right words to explain to Mitchel why and to help give him some peace. I am praying you will find your answers and will know when and if the time is right to begin testing him in Tulsa. I love you guys. Hang in there.

Great news on the all clear results! What a true gift from God. How awesome is it that you will get to move to every 6 months. This is our first time to be at 4 months and I am a total wreck! I'm sure it gets easier with each passing year. Remind of this when the boys are driving cars, dating and wrecking havoc with their curfews. I can dream can't I?

Bronson hopes our schedules hook up soon.

I am starting early with my prayers for your trip to NY to be as pain free and calm as possible. Mitchel is always in my prayers for good health, but I am praying extra for clear scans next month. Glad you made it home safely from your trip. It looked like a lot of fun. God bless you all.

I am also saddened to hear about Mitchel's friend. It just breaks my heart. I don't understand why these children have to endure so much. I pray that all childhood cancer will be cured someday, sooner than later.

Mitchel looks like a real pro in his uniform. Very handsome. Hope you had a great time this weekend.

Hello Baughman family. I'm so glad Mitchel is so healthy. It's so great to open his site and see the same update from days ago. This means that you are busy living and enjoying time together. It also means there's nothing bad to report. I love it. I love you all. God bless.

I'm so glad to read things are still going great in the Baughman family. I remember celebrating Mitchel's birthday with him a couple of years ago. It doesn't seem that long ago, but I guess it was. Erin's approaching her last round of 3F8. Can you believe it's been over 2 years of 3F8? I'm a little anxious about stopping treatment, but it's inspiring to read how great Mitchel is doing.

I'm believing that all will go well for Mitchel this time. I'm believing that he will remain cancer free.

Mitchel, I love the pictures. We got snow in St. Louis today too. Not a whole bunch, but if it keeps snowing we may get six inches or so. If we do, I won't want to work tomorrow. I want to go sledding. It's the best. Hopefully you and Michael can have a snowball fight. Will you send me a picture from New York when you get back? That would be nice. Well, I'll keep my fingers crossed for no school. Have FUN!!!

Hi Mary!
It felt like you were writing my journal for Jeremy. We have scans coming up as well, and he was asking the same questions. The more he stays away, the more he doesn't want to go. I, of course, like you, feel that all too familiar pit in my stomach. We will be praying for all to go well, as I know it will.

Mitchel is a blessing. I'm so glad I've had the chance to follow his journey the past couple years. He is really an inspiration.

I wish I could be a worker at the North Pole too. I would love to see all those Reindeer in action. I guess I will just have to imagine it. Anyway, enough dreaming, got to get back to work. Have a great December and make sure you get your letters mailed to Santa early.

clifton, va usa - Sunday, November 11, 2007 9:15 PM CST

My Dearest Daughter: Yes, as a human I'm sure it would be natural for you to be fearful about Mitchel's upcoming scans, but we are encouraged in God's word in I Peter 5:7 to take all our cares(fears) and cast them (throw, give them)on HIM for HE cares for you. Sometimes I use my fears to alert me of the fact that I need to be living in faith and quickly switch my fears to faith. It's just not any kind of faith that we're suppose to have, it's faith in GOD, our heavenly Father. Fears try to kill you or paralize you or suffocate you, but faith gives you life. Fear bring torure, faith brings joy. Fear brings gloom, faith brings peace.

I hope this word of encouragement will be a blessing to you today. Don't worry I'm praying. I've got my Heavely password typed in at all times--it's J-E-S-U-S. I'm constantly saying, "Father, in the name of Jesus."

I love you and I believe in a bright, cancer-free life for Mitchel. I view cancer as a creepy, crawling, pus-filled insect. There's only one thing to do with something like that and that's to stomp on it and in the name of Jesus and command it to die.

Love, Mom

I know what you mean about every ache and pain. Alex was sweating the other night and saying he was hot. That is what he did in the beginning of his ordeal. It scares us. Also, hearing of the news from NY breaks my heart and I shed many tears last week. This disease is just plain scary and we love our little guys so much. I will pray for you....

Happy Birthday Mitchel!
Thank you for sharing all the wonderful Birthday pictures. The one of Mommy and her Boys is priceless. I know how you feel about the I.V. pokes, Jeremy hates them everytime. I'm so sorry you little guys have to go through so much. You are truly heros!
We always think of you and hope you enjoy your time at home.

Dearest Mary: I love your journal entry for today (Sat., April 14th). I've been on air flights like you are describing--you feel like you're riding a bucking horse. That's really funny that Mitchel thought it was funny! And also it was very precious that he wanted to save a red life saver for his Dad. (We need children in our lives.) It is so neat that he had one of his grandma's for a flight attendant on the airlines. That is special.

Praise God for Mitchel's clear MRI. I bought Mitchel's birthday card today.

Love, Mary's Mom Elizabeth

Happy Birthday Mitchel!!!!!!!!!!!!! I am so happy that you are home and feeling better! Summer is almost here and you will be able to play outside. Aunt Alecia told me she spent some time with you over spring break and that you were looking great and had a blast!!! You try and stay strong, you have so much to be proud of after everything that you have gone through. You have been stronger than alot of big people might have been!!!
Aunt Alecia and I are best friends and she always keeps me updated on how well you are doing. I am always checking the website to check on you too. I am so glad that you have your mommy to be with you everytime you go to New York. She is a great mommy!!! I am sure that daddy would be with you in New York if he could be also, he loves you too.
You keep being brave and have fun while you are home.
I am always praying for you and know that Jesus is watching over you all of the time!!!!!!!!!! I am sure that you have a very special guardian angel to keep you safe.
Even though you don't know me I love you sweetie and pray that you get all better very soon!!!

Oh, Mary, I feel your frustration and fears as I read your journal. My heart aches for you, as we all know what this horrible disease does to our families, we HATE it!!!!!!!!!! Keep concentrating on the positive!!!!! You have to look at the bright side, which I know seems difficult to do sometimes. Dawson also had a rough time the last week we were there for 3F8, ugh! It's so hard to put them through this sometimes, even though we know it's the best thing for them. We will have to ask Dr.Cheung if he is user meaner mice, Dawson said the last time, "It felt like a mean rat was chewing on me!" Please take comfort that God is looking over Mitchell. We will continue to keep Mitchell in our prayers and pray ecspecially for those scans to be as clean as a whistle!
Love, Kelli and Dawson

Mary and Mitchel,
We will be remebering you in our prayers today. Scan time is hard! (tell Mike and Michael we are thinking of them, too).
Tell Mitchel we are proud of him! James thinks of him often.
We hope the remainder of the week goes by fast for you, and you are back togehter at home, surrounded by love and support. Things can return to normal for Mitchel, in which I feel is the best therapy for you and Mike.
When our kids feel good, and look good, it puts our minds at ease. We understand your fear, and trust me, it is hard to put away the anxieties, but embrace each day with what it has to offer... and we will start thanking God now for His mercies and healing He has given to Mitchel, and of course, for clear MIBG! I know you have to be getting "tired" of 3F8... that was a trying time, and we were always there together. (Tag team, haha) But, just as you said, and I have said, it works, and you have to take all possible routes to a cure!
Please let us know if you need anything...
with love, hugs and prayers,

You have been so heavy on my heart, and after reading your update, it's no wonder why. Please give yourself and Mitchel hugs from us and know that we are praying hard for a successful week for you, clear scans and peaceful treatment. Call anytime.

Mary, thanks for such a thorough update. I know Dr. Kushner has Mitchel's best chance of a healthy outcome in mind, so his word is THE word. It is so hard to have doubt lingering, but he wouldn't be letting you go that long if the doubt was really strong! Nick wishes he was little during 3f8 and he could just resort to running and screaming! It is so exhausting to fight the pain and to try and function during the week. His pain was different last time, so we'll see what HAMA says. I am checking on you each day this week, wish I was there! Caryn and Nick

Mary, it is really hard just to read about Mitchel's pain. I feel for you to have to see that. I will keep you both in my prayers this week. I pray that Mitchel's pain will decrease greatly and his scan will come back clear. God bless you Mary for everything you have to endure. I pray the Mitchel will find the answers he is looking for. I believe he will receive his miracle and you all will be able to put this behind you soon. God bless you both. You are forever in my thoughts and prayers.

Oh Mary, my heart is breaking for you. I pray God's blessing of peace on you and Mitchel today. You all have done such a wonderful job in such difficult circumstances. It does get harder as they get older and can verbalize their questions, fears and frustrations. My sister and family go through the same thing with my niece who has Cystic Fibrosis and there just isn't a perfect answer. Sending a hug your way. Can't wait to see you when you return.

I read your site from time to time and have never signed the guestbook, but I just wanted to say I totally understand how you are feeling! We had a similar situation this summer, with a suspicious spot showing on both MIBG and CT. After a month of anxiety we rescanned and everything was fine. One thing we love about MSK is the fact that they are so very careful--but it is definitely hard on the parents' nerves!

Don't worry about the vomitting thing, I think it's normal. Dawson threw up two different days the last time he had 3f8 and has quite a long time ago in the past. I think it has to do with all the meds and food in the stomach at the wrong time. Todays the last day and your back to Oklahoma. Yea!!!!111

I swear the antibodies are harder than they were several months ago. Nick and the 16 year old Katie have had to have an agent to reverse the drugs because they are going into these deep coma like sleeps. The residual pain is beyond any we have had in the past!

Hi Mary it's your mom. I just called you and didn't get you so I decided to read your web page and send you a message via your guestbook. I love you and I pray that all goes well with you and Mitchel this trip. I praise God for the good reports regading his health.

Continue to trust the Lord with all your heart and He will see you through this. I would like to remind you to think upon Psalms 34:7--The angel of the Lord encamps all around those who fear Him and delivers them. I also like very much--Psalms 127:1b Unless the Lord guards the city, the watchman stays awake in vain.

I say, thank you Holy Father for all your marvelous help!

Love, Mom

Hi there - My name is Mindi Gaut and I learned of Mitchell when we used to attend Grace. Since then I have followed along and kept up with the journal but until now never posted but have prayed regularly for you all! I just wanted to encourage you with knowing that so many, many like me you may not know and may not know we're out there standing in the gap praying for you to have peace, courage, strength and complete and continued healing for Mitchel. God is so good and I know you've seen Him in so many ways many people may never get to experience. As a mom I know it must break your heart to see your baby having to endure such pain through the treatments and I just pray you will feel God HUGE~ You've all been so brave through all this and I know it's not been easy. Please know I'll continue to pray for you and I thank God for how He has brought Mitchel to this point of being cancer free!!! Cling to His promises. Two scriptures I especially love are Psalms 103...the whole thing is great but especially verse 3. Also Nahum 1:9~ Take care and I pray you feel all the prayers being sent up on all of your behalf. In His love - Mindi

Hi Mary and Mitchel,

I hope this round of antibodies is not too painful for Mitchel. I know it is so hard to put them through the 3f8's when the boys look and feel so well. We are so fortunate our boys have done so well! We will keep Mitchel in our prayers this week. Have a safe trip.

Hi Mary, Mitchel, Michael and Mike. I hope you don't think I've forgotten about little Mitchel. I am still thinking about and praying for you all. It's been real busy at work and I haven't had much time to write, but I think of you all often. I am sorry that Mitchel is so upset about getting the shots. I know he had a long break and it probably makes it harder. I will pray for you as you begin this treatment. I hope you all stay well. I am sending thoughts of encouragement and peace your way.

My continued love and prayer to you all. God bless.

Hello Baughmans! Just checking in with you guys. Are you frozen yet? You have been getting a lot of snow for Oklahoma. We haven't gotten any here yet. I am glad. I'm glad things are still going well with all of you, especially Mitchel. What a blessing going to NYC turned out to be. I'm really glad, although I miss you guys here. Keep in touch. And good luck with your next visit to NYC. I have another one of my "kids" up there right now getting the antibody. Look out for them for me if you see them when you're there. You guys have a common friend- Angel Zachary.
Big hugs and kisses to all of you!

You may remember, my grandson Spencer has been treated for NB. He too is doing well. He just went through extensive testing to see if the cancer might have returned, due to some unexplained fevers, but the news for us was Good News, too.

Blessings to All of You!

Hi Folks -

I'm from Ryan Malarkey's family - you just posted to his guestbook. Thanks for taking the time to introduce yourselves. Sounds like Ryan is kind of following in Mitchel's footsteps - we just heard that Ryan is not NED like we hoped (after chemo, 2 stem cell transplants & total body radiation). So we're off to NYC to start 3F8 on Monday. We'll be reading more about Mitchel - we'll maybe even bump into you some time at Sloan or RMH. It's so encouraging to hear that Mitchel responded well to 3f8. We're obviously anxious about it. Thanks again.

Hi Mary and Mitchel! You guys don't know me, but my name is Sarah and I've been checking up on Mitchel for a while and thought I'd drop you guys a line and say hello and that I'm praying for Mitchel. Also, I help out with an organization called Break the Grey, which is designed to support, serve, and encourage families facing childhood cancer. I was wondering if it would be okay for me to put a link to Mitchel's site on the Break the Grey website (www.breakthegrey.org) and list a prayer request for him. God bless!

Hello My Dear: I will certainly pray for little James Runde
and I will command that tumor to disintegrate and disappear in the name of Jesus, our savior, healer, deliverer and coming KING!!!!! I hate cancer more than I ever have in my life. God certainly never intended to know about sin, disease, or death. It was man's disobedience that allowed man to know about those things. I'm constantly amazed at the love of God and the fact that He gave us His son to die on the cross and to break the power of those destructive things and redeem us from their mal-affects. For example, when we do die all satan gets is our dust, our soul and our-Christ-inhabited spirit (our born-again spirit) go to heaven We're out of here!

I'm glad Mitchel is doing well. I love him. Tell him that I want to be first at whatever game we are playing.

I pray Michael will be AOK soon.

I love you and I'm thnakful for the strength that God the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit have given you.

I look forward to seeing you soon. I bought you your Christmas present yesterday. Don't try to guess what it is because you won't be able to. If you do guess it, I'll give you $1000.00, just kidding.

Love Mom

Dear Mary,
It's wierd not being with all of you these past trips. I do miss everyone so much, but our time together as a family is wonderful. I'm starting to get to know my husband again, ha ha. Erin's hair is starting to curl.
I'm glad to hear Mitchel is doing so well. What a miracle! Hopefully Mitchel (and you) will be moving to the long breaks soon.
I'm very worried about James Runde. They've had such a rough time. I'll be praying they can treat what they've found.
Tell Mitchel we said hi! I bet you're loving this one week thing. We're thrilled with the change. Take care.

We are so happy to check in on you and see you are enjoying home. Your school days really keep you going. That's a long day for just starting school. Molly is going to start a pre-K (young 5's) Sept. 5. This school thing is all new to her as well. Mitchell the tooth fairy visited our house for the first time last week too! Molly lost her 2 bottom front teeth in one day. I was surprised too & thought "did all that chemo knock these out soon?" Then I remembered she is 5 and that's normal. Kind of silly when the "normal" surprises us! Just got to enjoy it. Enjoy Home!

Dearest Baughman Team: Thank you for keeping a journel because when I can't reach you by phone at least I can find out what is going on. I praise God for the decision of the doctor to stop the radiation treatments. You know I am believing that he will receive no damage from the treatments and will continue to do so. I continue to stand in the name of Jesus for his total healing and return to health.

Daniel 11:32b says, but the people that know their God shall be strong and do exploits. Your are certainly doing exploits because one of the definitions of an exploit is an heroic act. The Baughman Team is performing an heroic act by walking on the path that leads to the regaining of Mitchele's health without being consumed and defeated. Your pictures reveal that you have the victory. I know God gets all the glory for this because He is your strenth.

I love you, Mary's Mom Elizabeth

Just stopping by to check on Mitchel and see how things are going. I am glade to here they stopped radiation before it was to late. I know its hard to think of stopping before it was time but we know it was for the better. Like you said God has a plan and a hand in all that is done. HE was looking out for you all... I hope and pray that the treatments get somewhat easier as the weeks go by. I used to think that the pain was good at least we know it is doing something but it is very hard to continue to see your child hurt like that. You all are in my thoughts and prayers daily. Ill check back in later.

Dearest, dearest Baughman's: I praise God that the cancer in Mitchel's body were dead. In Jesus name don't be afraid of the radiation treatments. God's promises are greater than any thing else on the earth. We will just believe that God will stimulate his left clavical bone after the radiation treatments and make it to continue to grow. God does wonders with bones. He created Eve out of one of Adam's bones. God is the inventor of bones, hello. Just keep believing in miracles (God's miracles). How do you believe in miracles?--with your God-alive spirit. The mind can not understand miracles. That's why faith to believe that Jesus Christ was virgin born flows from your spirit, because the mind just can not comprehend such things.

I am truly sorry that you are faced with this trial, but I'm totally convinced that God will bring so much good out of this trial that you will be in amazment the rest of your life of His power and goodness.

I love you all with all my heart.

Mary's Mom, Elizabeth
It is Christ that causes us to triumph.

I love God's miracles because God gets all the glory. You will not find any human fingerprints on one of God's miracles.

Hello Mitchel and Family, I got news about you this morning from Dawn Runde, (James' Mom) Please know that our Prayer Warriors have been praying all day and we will pray for as Long as needed and then Pray in Thanks for What Jesus has done. We know that our God has allowed the kids to have cancer and He chose the ones that He knew could handle it. I don't think or believe that the Might Great Physician makes any mistakes and I know He is in Control. I also know without a doubt that HE IS ABLE TO HEAL> I learned that in the last 19 months. My 3 year old grandblessing was diagnosed with ALL Leukemia at 18 months of age. He has had so many set backs and even 2 brain surgeries,But God's nail scard hands were holding him the entire time. He was in PIC for weeks,the doctors gave us no hope,they said it would take a miracle....well Colby is a Miracle child. God is so good and what He has done for Colby He will do for You too. Our prayer Warriors are in 42 states and 8 countries and I know He hears them all. Please Keep the Faith for He IS ABLE!!!!!

Mitchel and Family
We've been praying for you often, especially in the last month. We got to see you a few time in NYC when our Molly was there for antibodies in Dec/Jan. We know this "relapse" reality all too well with Molly being on her second one now. But we continue the fight with faith. If not for the bald head and slew of pills Molly takes you wouldn't know she's a cancer kid. We hope the doctors figure our Mitchels complications today and get a plan together for some chemos. to try. Your trip to Gr. Wolf sounds like a blast. We've visited the Michigan and Ohio ones with Molly (and her broviac line). Stay strong and positive as you continue the fight.

I'm submitting his name to some very dynamic prayer warriors.

Mitchel and family, I pray that you have a wonderful Easter as a family. I know that it would be so much better to be at home...but the best part about God is that He can meet you wherever you are, even in New York in a hospital. I hope your day is full of His love and miracles!

Miss Sandy is doing wonderfully, she loves trying to keep up with our four dogs. We got her a name tag and collar today so that she is safe camping with us. We don't want to chance her getting lost. Have a very happy Easter together. Much love, Ian & Deanna

Mary, I was reading through my prayer journal this morning and was in awe of all the ways God has met your every need over the last year and a half. And I've been reading God Is Closer than You Think by John Ortberg. This morning I read, "pain was not part of God's original plan, and the day is coming when He will wipe away every tear from every eye. And yet, while God hates pain, he can also redeem it. The great God who made the heavens and the earth cares that we are in pain, and He can be expected to do something about it. What God was really telling Job is, 'I'm worth it. Life, following Me - it's all worth it. Don't give up. This pain is not going to last forever. I am the kind of God who is worth getting close to.'" Enjoy the time with all your guys together, treasure each good hour, and have a wonderful Easter! Love,

Hi Mary, I am thrilled to read that today is a better day for you and Mitchel...We had a fantastic Bible study last night and prayed for you guys and Mike & Michael's trip to NY. Sandy is doing great...right now she is cuddled up with our older cocker spaniel and chomping on the biggest chew flip chip she could find...too funny! She did great during the night, just one visit to the potty at 4am. Thanks for letting us minister to you in such a fun way for us by puppy-sitting.

Oh, Mary. So sorry to hear that Mitchel is having tummy aches. Have they considered having him take some Zofran before his treatment? It may help...
I know you are now counting down the hours until the family is together. ENJOY!

Dear Mary, as a mom, one of the hardest trials I have been through is when one of my kids is in pain and I cannot make it stop! I am praying that the God of all comfort will wrap you up in HIS comfort while you do what is best for your child, even though it tears you up. Remember God created a mother's heart, so He knows how incredibly agonizing it is to see your child in pain. After all, He is the one who watched HIS precious son sacrificed on our behalf. I pray for happy moments and warm weather for you guys. Mike and Michael will be there soon. Mike has asked us to babysit Sandy and we are SO excited to have her be a part of our family, if only for a week. We are praying for you today and each day!

So sorry to hear of Mitchell's rough times with the radiation. What a long haul you have had this time. Hang in there Mary, wish we were there at the same time to support each other, but I know you are strong and can do it and don't ever think you are selfish, you are definately not!!!! Us parents go through a lot, too! You are a GREAT Mom and friend and give yourself some credit, in fact, a lot of credit. Wish I were there to give you a hug! Take care, we will see you in May when you return.

Mary,
Don't feel bad about talking about yourself. We need to know how to specifically pray for you. We as mom's suffer emotionally watching our little guys go through more than any of us can comprehend. I know that some days I am depending on God's grace and strength to get me through moment by moment. You have been through so much with Mitchel that it would be impossible not to be emotional. Keep the faith my friend.

Mary, I am so sorry to hear that Mitchel is hurting. I'm sorry you are going through pain too, especially without Mike being there. You are not being selfish at all. It hurts you to see him so upset and know that it's something that has to be done. Every mother just wants to protect their child. You are doing the best you can and Mitchel knows you love him. I think it's good that you express your feelings the way you do. You shouldn't keep it all bottled up. I know that once Mike and Michael arrive everything will be better. God bless you all.

Just wanted you both to know how much I care about you. I think about you and Mitchel so many times through the day and pray that you both are okay. You've endured so much already. I'm always asking God to help see you through this journey and that Mitchel will be blessed with good health and be cancer free forever. I also pray the Michael is doing okay without you. Mary, you are an amazing wife and mother. Your family is blessed to have one another. I'm so excited for you all that you get to be reunited soon. I hope you all have some good times together in New York.

Love your friend,

Mary and Mike: We are praying that the MIBG scan shows NED!! We just know that the Lord has layed His Hand on Mitchel!
Hope to see you all... sometime... who knows, but you will always remain in our prayers.

Mary - I visited with Mike briefly today before "our kids" program. They did a great job and looked so big singing in front of so many people. Mike let me know what was going on and about the site so we can check on Mitchel's progress. This site is so neat and special and a wonderful way to keep everyone updated. Gavin lets me know every day if Mitchel was gone or at school. Let Mitchel know he is missed by his friends and Gavin said hi. He loved the pictures of the cows and wanted to know if those were Mitchel's at his house. Your family is in our thoughts and in our prayers. I hope you all enjoy your weekend! Can't wait to see you come back in April.

Dear Mary, I am praying that God continues to give you the grace needed to deal with your days in NY. It must be so much harder without Mike right next to you. You both are doing a stellar job of taking care of your babies through a terribly difficult (almost impossible) time. I pray for you several times a day, each time I think of you and you know your GCC family is doing the same. Thank you for giving us specific prayer requests. I hate needles, so I will pray extra hard that the tattoo marking doesn't phase Mitchel in the least and that he is able to complete each scan without anesthesia. Much love,
Deanna McDonald <deannam@cableone.net>
Bartlesville, - Friday, March 31, 2006 7:19 AM CST

I'm so glad Mitchel did better today - hallelujah! Our GCC Women's Ministry Team was praying for him this afternoon that the pain would be controlled, and for Michael that he will enjoy having his daddy at his program Friday, for you & Mike as you look at more time apart, and for the radiation to be completely effective in preventing recurrence. We love you all and look forward to seeing you back at GCC! Love, Melanie

I pray that Mitchel will respond to this treatment and that the radiation will be successful in killing any hint of cancer left in his body. How wonderful to be celebrating his 5th birthday soon. God is so gracious! Take care.

I just read your entry from Wednesday and the news sounds absolutely wonderful!! I will be praying for all of you as Mitchel undergoes his scans in NY next week. I hope you get great news from the scans. What a brave little guy he is and so fortunate to have such a loving family and so many friends surrounding him. Loved the pictures of their new baby calves!!

I had lunch with Jill yesterday in Alton, IL, which is about an hour's drive for each of us. She brought my little grandson, and her nephew, Eli with her and we had a fun hour together. He is almost three and such a delight!! His Aunt Jill and her gray car, are his greatest loves!! I believe he would ride around forever with her!!

Much love to all of you and I will be waiting to hear some good news from NY!

Mary -- We continue to lift your family up in prayer. This morning Craig and I felt a burden to pray specifically for you all. For you, Mary, to have the strength it takes to see Mitchel go through his treatment and to endure NY. For Mike, that God gives him strength to go to work each day in order to support his family. For Michael as he is separated from his family and still has to keep his mind on school. For precious Mitchel, that God would give him an extra measure of grace and strength to endure the treatments and to lay still for his scans. We will be praying as you anticipate the results of Mitchel's scans -- we know all to well what that is like. God bless you all.

I frequent Big Al's for lunch in Tulsa. I put some change in a change jar for Mitchel at the cash register because it mentioned a sweet family of a boy that has cancer. I have been experiencing the same hardship with my son. Then just recently I found your letter explaining that Mitchel has Neuroblastomaa. The SAME cancer as my son. We are currently in remission. I pray for your family for the strength to battle this disease daily and for hopes of no reoccurence, for the peace in a loving mom's heart to cope with seeing her child endure such pain, and for Mitchel to prevail with a testimony and not bitterness for the journey God has put him through. We have not had to go through the lengths your family has but I hope this journey will end quickly and with a wonderful ending!

I just wanted to leave you a note to say we're thinking about you and praying that Mitchel will be READY to continue with his treatments. I'll also pray about his skin. Poor baby, I remember how dry it made Brent's face and lips. I was SO HAPPY when he got off that stuff!

As for having to leave home, I can only imagine how it'd be to be that far away from HOME! We'll remember you in this as well.

You guys take care and have a GREAT week!

Hi Mitchel. You and your family don't know me, but I was born in Bartlesville. My name is Sarah. My son Kenyon who was born in Tulsa, also has Neuroblastoma. He is 2 years old, and was diagnosed in September 2005. We have been at St Jude's hospital in TN for a couple of months now receiving treatment. I know you and your family have been through a lot. It is hard going through what you have to get better. I know first hand, as I am watching my son go through the same things. I originally heard about you from my mother, who heard about your story from one of the ladies in Bartlesville. it so happened that this evening one of the nurses on our floor asked did we know you, when she found out I was born in Bartlesville. I wanted to let you and your family know that I will be praying for you all of the time. Keep your head up, and know that God has the power to heal. Best of Luck! Sarah VanHorn and Kenyon King

Missing you so much! There is the possibility of Feb 20th for a visit to NYC. How is your schedule? Hoping to see you then. You are in my thoughts and prayers.

Love,
Betty-Jo

I love to read your updates, especially the ones with all goods news. So glad that Mitchel is enjoying school. It must be like a dream for you guys, seeing him doing things that every little boy does. Most of us parents take that kind of stuff for granted. Tell Michael I think God gave Mitchel the best big brother ever. He seems like such a sweetie. You are all so lucky to have one another. What an awesome support system. I hope you all have a Happy Valentine's Day.

Thank you for the update. It is so good to hear that Mitchel is feeling so well and enjoying school. We will be praying for your upcoming trip and for healing here on earth for our darling little guy. Love to you all, Deanna
