There never seems to be a dull moment at your house! We're praying for Jeremiah's speedy recovery and that noone else will catch the same stuff. Jesse gave us a scare Christmas Eve, but we have that pretty much settled now. He appears to have had a staph infection with an abscess in his knee. We were in PA with family and had to return to VA to have him seen by the doctor. Our insurance wouldn't cover him to be seen in PA unless it was something life threatening. Anyway, I understand your trials and dilemmas. Having a child with cancer keeps you living on the edge, always. Remember that we're out here praying for you. And if you're ever in a crisis, don't hesitate to call, no matter what hour of the day or night.

Blessings,

At the time, I was homeschooling my daughter and our home school co-op was asked to pray for Jeremiah. Although I have never signed, I have prayed for him daily. You have an amazing family with amazing strength that comes only from the Lord. You are an inspiration. I pray that your little Super Man is back to his old self in no time at all! God Bless you all and may you have a blessed and healthy, happy New Year!

I was surprised this morning to see a hymn added at the end of the service when we normally have silent prayer. I was distressed to see that it was "Abide With Me" because it's been many years since I've been able to sing that hymn without crying. Today was no exception. I want to share the verse that the hymn is based on as I continue to pray. Adding prayers about everything you requested!

Hi Sandi! That poem was a tear-jerker. I wasn't prepared to be shaken like that. The author's words hit far too close to home. You and I know all too well how her words ring so true. As much as we'd rather not think about such things, we're forced to live within that realm. Thanks for sharing it, even if it did make me cry.

In case I don't talk with you before Christmas, I want to wish you the merriest of all Christmases.

I just want to let you know thoughts and prayers continue to be sent your way.

By the way, I AM the Catholic woman from a few months ago. Because I am Christian, I do not hold the beliefs of the Queen Family AGAINST them ... I RESPECT them. This is a religiously devoted family that is dealing with many problems and health concerns. We all need to see how desperate this family is for support from others ... it is our duty as Christians to show we care! I know that anyone who takes the time out of their day to check in on this family, CARES about this family. They are good people facing very bad times. We may not agree with everything, but we do not need to upset this family with negative entries. I believe each person that is a part of this caringbridge community is a good and caring person - let's support those who NEED us ... let's show them WE CARE!

And may the Queen's have a very blessed Holiday Season!

Pam K

God's Word - and caring people who share it with others - is the ONLY thing that can help "the real world." We pray and believe that God will bless your efforts, and that the hope and anticipation of this Advent season will soften hardened hearts!

It is my understanding that God expects only that each of us will do our best at the tasks HE gives us to do. Everyone is called to a different "mission field" - whether across the street, across the country, or across the sea. Thank you for working hard at YOUR tasks to make a difference in your corner of the world, and the homeschool world; and may God bless the efforts of ALL who so respond to His call, wherever that may lead them!

Hi Sandi! It's good to hear that your cancer is gone and that Jeremiah is doing fairly well. I'm sure it will be no time until you're over the "other" stuff.

I can relate about watching kids succumb to cancer. I have also seen so many relapses lately, and it's very discouraging. The hospital statistics are skewed. They consider cancer to be cured at 5 years. With 3 1/2 years of treatment, and a usual relapse time of 2 years, that makes them a cancer survivor if they've reached the 5 year mark. Statistics can be manipulated to "prove" most anything.

All are well at our home, and we're praying all will soon be well at yours.

Sandi, I am just curious about something. Back when there was such a stir-up about you not wanting prayers from Catholics, or "other" Christian religions, what is different from not wanting prayers for your families, but you asking for prayers for Alexia's families? I am sure you realize that they are most likely Catholic. I have seen you ask prayers for people that are people you do not want anything from yourself, and insist that they are people that are worshipping the wrong God/Jesus? Can you explain, please?

Just wanted you to know that we were here and that we are still praying for you. I know how tough it can be when all our circumstances are against us. The things that helped me the most in the midst of the fire was resisting the thoughts Satan sent and attempting to rejoice in the Lord and trying to keep my eyes only on Jesus. I know that's easier said than done. We love you and we are praying. Filipians 4:1-8!

Lamentations 3:22-26 It is of the LORD'S mercies that we are not consumed, because his compassions fail not. They are new every morning: great is thy faithfulness. The LORD is my portion, saith my soul; therefore will I hope in him. The LORD is good unto them that wait for him, to the soul that seeketh him. It is good that a man should both hope and quietly wait for the salvation of the LORD.

Sandy, that cannot possibly be correct that none of the little ones diagnosed the same year as Jeremiah are not alive! When we were in treatment in Pittsburgh, most of the ALL kids did make it. That 80+% rate certainly was holding back then, and things have gotten better since. I'm going to give Dr. Wollman a ring, I think, since that is a frightening thought that Children's is not getting that survival rate. Praying for you and Jeremiah, along with all of the other kids with cancer, and their families.

I know you have to cook bear meat well done because it is a prime source for parasites. Trichonosis is also high risk with bear meat if not cooked completely.

I understand the meat does not have to be aged, is greasy, and gamey. It depends on what the bear was eating as to taste. I know that marinading it is recommended. They say fall bear is favorable over spring bear, both in terms of taste of the meat and condition.

The "LIttle House" books mention eating bear. Laura like bear meat. There is a "Little House" cookbook out that may have a recipe that would be fun to read. But I would suggest actually using a newer recipe from the internet. The recipes from those olden days usually did not have the taste that we are used to having today.

Let us know how it went. Prayers for you, Jeremiah and your family.

Enter into his gates with thanksgiving, and into his courts with praise: be thankful unto him, and bless his name. For the LORD is good; his mercy is everlasting; and his truth endureth to all generations.

Prayers for both of you. Am concerned about the length of time before you are going to be tested and treated. Of course you are tired with that hemoglobin value. I know you are knowledgeable about the homeopathic treatments and are doing the best that can be done with those. In Japan, where this type of cancer is prevalent (who knows if it's their diet or their genes) they are much more successful than we are in the treatment. The diet is not the raw foods for this type of cancer and an effort is made to make the environment a base ph which hampers the bacteria and cancer development.
Hugs to sweet Jeremiah. It sounds like he is doing well. And special hugs to your girls. How blessed you are to have them there to help. Will they be taking some time off of college next term? Though I know education is important to you as a homeschooling center, it may be the best thing to have them home during the first stage of your treatment.

Take care.

Dear Sandi,

I just wanted to tell you that I'm praying for your family. I didn't realize that you were diagnosed with cancer, too. I cannot imagine all the things you are facing, but God will bring you through. I'm encouraged by all that God is doing in your family. I truly am. I'm sure there are countless people who are being touched also. You probably won't ever know until you get to Heaven. Keep on letting the light shine through you.

Your prayer warriors have already addressed hard drive back up issues that I was going to bring up. Also when you are working on something and are interrupted, e-mail it to yourself--I have an unlimited spaced g-mail account for that. My kids all do that for school papers and other things for which they want access from other computers and locations, but this also takes care of the problem of losing in process work that you have saved on your hard drive if it should crash. We do a lot of work on our computers, so it's back up, back up, back up. All photos on an external site as well as cd and harddrive. My husband uses two computers and an external drive to back up his stuff since our very livelihood depends on his info.
But in light of other issues, you are right: it's just not important. We are praying that all goes well with your tests and recovery starts quickly. Don't let those gatekeeper at the doctor's offices and hospitals hold you up. My father's life was extended quite a bit because I insisted on immediate surgery, when he was scheduled weeks along.

Hope, love, prayers

Sandi - of course you know the Queen family is in our daily prayers!

I'm reading of your "dilemma" to say the least and have a thought...probably one you've thought of but I won't assume anything considering the stress that you all are under/over.

Anyway, the last time I had a computer crash, I removed the hard drive - not too hard to do and installed it in an "external hard drive case" - available at any computer store for around $~40.00. It comes with its own power supply cord - you simply plug in your old drive, plug in the external power supply, and connect the USB cable to your working computer. It will recognize it as a new drive and all of you docs should be readable. Here's one at Circuit City for $20 http://www.circuitcity.com/ssm/NexxTech-3-5-Hard-Drive-Enclosure-NHDE35/sem/rpsm/oid/150789/catOid/-12973/rpem/ccd/productDetail.do

I had to do this because my because my computer wouldn't boot. If you know for sure that the drive is physically damaged and has scratched the surface of the drive (or if the computer fell while operating) the expensive recovery you mentioned may be your only option - but I'd try the external enclosure first to be sure. If you have to go the route of recovery - I've heard this company is good - but only as a last resort. http://www.drivesavers.com/

Some thoughts...I won't lecture on the importance of weekly backup (and storing a duplicate backup drive at a relative's house in case of theft or fire) - I lost an entire book that was press ready in 2001 - it cured me!

Our thoughts and prayers,

The first thing you have to do is get an external hard drive and from now on back up every file!!!!!!!!! It's so easy to do and you can't lose anything that way. And/or you can back up the files on cd's. Either way you've gotta back up everything!
Continuing to pray! And adding prayers that they CAN retrieve everything!

Wow! I'm tired just reading about all the excitement at your home. I hope you continue to get a lot of rest despite all the activity.

You and I were both doing the blood work thing today. I had Zack and Jesse's blood drawn and sent to Canada today, too. Rather than running around trying to get a Fed Ex location to ship the blood, I got them to pick it up at my house. If I had them pick it up at the doctor's office, I would have been there ALL day. Boy was that a chore to babysit the blood until I could get home after all my errands to do along the way. Thanks heavens for a friend along with way who happened to have a freezer at her business. You must not have had too much trouble getting a fedex location to take Jeremiah's plasma. I'm glad things went o.k.

I love Jeremiah's pic! How cute!

May a hedge of protection be placed around you, and may you all be blessed and uplifted by Him despite this venom. And as hard as it is, I will take a deep breath and not respond to them because, as you said, you do not wish for your guestbook to become a forum for such things. I will instead pray for them, as we are taught to pray for our persecutors.

"You have heard that it was said, 'Love your neighbor and hate your enemy.' But I tell you: Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you, that you may be sons of your Father in heaven." Matthew 5:43-45

"Blessed are they which are persecuted for righteousness' sake: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven." Matthew 5:10

okay, I will make one more remark and then leave you to your Jesus, but first of all, this is not your PERSONAL website, it is given to you FREE by caringbridge, another handout for you....so we are free to say whatever we want on it....and for you to say to you catholics out there if you are true believers, I am not Catholic, but yes, they are true believers, how dare you insinuate they are not, what kind of religion are you in.....it is the most intolerant one I have ever heard of....you are the reason for religious wars in this world.....

wow, how incredibly arrogant to TELL me how to pray or how not to pray, you make it your mission to tell others what to believe in by your annoying door to door campaign, but when someone suggests their own belief system to you, you completely reject it.....how do you know that Jesus Christ even exists, it's in a BOOK, that's all, if you were born 6000 miles to the east, you would be praying to Allah and denouncing Jesus Christ, you only believe in him because of your birth place and in my mind, believing in Jesus is a lot like believing in Santa Claus, there is just absolutely no way he is real, you have to realize that, all the bad stuff in this world would not go on if he was alive and if your God is a jealous God, poor you, mine is all forgiving and all tolerant. I think you are going to be very sad onyour judgment day when you realize that your intolerance and narrow views toward most of mankind is not going to allow you into heaven, I know if I were God, I would NOT allow you in with your poison barbs towards those unlike you....also if you decide to have 6 children, then think about how you are going to support them BEFORE you have them, don't ask us to support them, us devil worshippers, you'll take our money but not our prayers,you are the worst kind of hippocrit, the kind who keeps people away from church,,,, i will be praying to Allah and BUddha for you both....

Sandi,

I am shocked to hear of the latest twist in your family's battle against cancer. However, I know that God is God, and He will show Himself great and glorious through you all. Your testimony is so amazing, and I know that you have the same mindset as Job, to say "though He slay me, yet I will praise Him."

I don't believe that He will slay you. I believe that He is covetous of your praise and your reliance, and He WANTS to bless you through it all.

We will continue to hold you all up, and I thank you for your example.

Praying for you, Sandi, and for Jeremiah and the whole Queen family during this time. I am a 9-year survivor of abdominal cancer. I know everyone is different, but miracles STILL occur!!! During the numerous medical problems I have had since that time, my verses have always been Psalm91.5-6, "I will not be afraid of the terror by night or the arrow that flies by day; of the pestilence that stalks in darkness or the devastation that lays waste at noon." (NASB and I made it very personal with "I" statements.) AND. . . 2Kings 20:5. . . "I have heard your prayers. I have seen your tears. Surely, I will heal you." I'm not sure what version that is, but it worked for me to keep me calm during trying times. Hug Jeremiah for me, K?

I read Psalm 34 today, and verses 19-20 stuck out at me.
"A righteous man may have many troubles, but the Lord delivers him from them all; he protects all his bones, not one of them will be broken."
Even the righteous are not exempt from problems (as much as we'd all like to be), but at least God promises to deliver us. That gives us hope. Praying God gives you peace and grace to walk through your downpours.

But we know that God's grace is sufficient, and you're trusting in Him for that grace. So you'll make it through -- everything -- to His glory and honor. We're just praying that these "opportunities" to show your faith are diminished a bit in the near future... We love you all!

Hi Sandi. Living life on cancer's roller coaster isn't very fun; it certainly isn't dull either. And things certainly aren't dull, even after chemo ends. God's strength and protection are obvious in your lives. What a testimnoy you all have! I look forward to reading each and every one of your updates.

I have lots I want to share with you, but I'll save most of that for another email or phone conversation. I've learned about some newer advances in health screening, and I can't wait to share them with you. I just had Jesse screened last week and we found some VERY interesting things. How's that for a teaser?

Hello . . . I've been following Jeremiah's Journey for a while now. Although I've never posted before, sorry. I don't know if you knew that you can use the LMX cream on his arm for them to take blood next week at the other clinic. It's called LMX cream at our clinic, but whatever you use to numb his port can be used to numb his arm for a blood draw. I would put it where they have got good draws from in the past, or have them check his veins out, and let you know where they're going to take it from and then put the cream on and wait the 20 minutes for it to numb his arm. I hope your "rain cloud" has moved on.

We are glad to hear that it's been a good week in your house! Emily can commiserate with Haley over the Algebra (already thinking we ought to have checked out the Math U See...); and she is using your Language Lessons for the Secondary Child (but that's definitely not HER picture on the cover! LOL) and really enjoying it, especially when she recognizes the references to your family. We already have a few other items of yours lined up for the year, too. Thanks again for the blessing of the good curriculum you have managed to somehow find the time to write over the years... don't know how you do it!

You remain in our prayers for all needs... and I'm so glad that you mentioned Jeremiah's treasure box, because we have a box sitting here to send you (completely forgotten in the course of last week's events) - mostly the result of a jackpot find at a recent yard sale. I just hope that there is something "exciting" in there! LOL ;-)

Praying for you all tonight and the results of the tests... I come before God in prayer tonight with a new appreciation of what you go through at these visits (Jeremiah's name came up tonight more than once, in a MOST admiring way... having experienced just one part of his routine visits up close and WAY too personal, he is simply our hero - as is his strong and brave mommy!) and a new understanding of the relief you must feel when the results are what you wanted to hear... None of us can begin to understand secondhand just what all of this has been like for you guys, but we CAN stand with you in prayer and in faith - and we do! May you all continue to be surrounded by His peace and comfort and encouragement and especially healing!

I should have read my email before I posted! This comes from an email I get each week with ideas for children's sermons.

"Our story begins with God speaking to a young boy by the name of Jeremiah. 'Before I started to put you together inside of your mother, I knew you. Before you were even born, I set you apart; I chose you to be a prophet to the nations.' Jeremiah heard God and he understood what God wanted him to do, but he was afraid. He answered God and said, 'Oh, Lord! I can't be your prophet. I don't even know how to speak; I am only a child.' God answered Jeremiah and said, 'Don't say, "I am only a child." You must go wherever I send you and do what I tell you. Don't be afraid, because I am with you.' Then the Lord touched Jeremiah's mouth and said, 'See, I have put my words in your mouth. Today I have chosen you to be over the nations and the kings.' "

This touched my heart this morning with thoughts of how your Jeremiah, through your sharing of your family's testimony of his journey, has indeed spoken - and spoken powerfully - to the nations God's message of love and power and compassion. Thank you for reaching out to others with His Word, and may you all continue to be blessed for your faithfulness to Him!

Hi Queen family. I just wanted you to know, you're remembered. And we've got you covered in prayer for tomorrow's chemo.

Your daughters have been unsung heroes, and it's wonderful to read your praises of them. Having cancer as a child is no picnic, but neither is being the sibling of a child with cancer. The cancer child takes center stage, and the rest of the family steps in as supporting actors. It appears that your daughters have given selflessly (modeling their mother), and I know that God will bless them richly for that. Thank you for your inspiring words about your lovely daughters.

Blessings,

I appreciate your tribute to your well deserving daughters. I was in the lecture you gave on the C M way of teaching/living maybe the day of or before Jeremiah was initially taken to the hospital. I remember him needing a "talking to" by you right before you spoke, as we sat in the same row. I remember thinking how hard it must be to be young and in such a structured room. It's hard when youngsters can't express what's really making them do what they do! My autistic 5 yr old may never speak. I read your posts all the time and pray for him.

My heart, too, is heavy with the news of Noelle and Alexia's relapses. They are both in my prayers, and you as well. I believe the extra effort you are going to on the nutritional level with an organic diet and special supplements is truly helping Jeremiah, and will make a difference in him.

I wanted to encourage you by telling you about two boys I know who had cancer. One got it very young, like Jeremiah, and by six it was either gone or in remission (I can't quite remember). Haven't heard from them in a long time, but that was many years ago, and to my knowledge he is doing very well. Another boy got cancer as a young teenager, and he too is now cancer-free and living a normal life style. I pray these results will be true for Jeremiah!

Prayers,

As I read your testimony I can see that your faith is strong. I believe God won't give you more than you can handle, nor more than Jeremiah can handle. I pray that God would bless your family and especially little Jeremiah. I have not dealt with cancer, but I have read some herbal books that discuss how herbs can improve your immune response. You probably already know that, but if not, a good site to look at is www.bulkherbstore.com. They sell herbs and books that are very helpful on how to boost your children's immune system, something that I'm sure your little one would benefit from. Type in "leukemia" in the search box, and several articles come up that are interesting. They are christians also.
I pray that you can remain steadfast about Romans 8. I admire your faith.
Sincerely, a mom in the Lord.

Jeremiah is His, as are you. Satan cannot win this battle, so don't let him discourage you! Go back and read Psalm 91, and picture the situations you are facing as you read it.

We are praying tonight for God's peace to surround you, as well as the comforting knowledge that He is in control of Jeremiah's healing. There'a a Scripture-based song by Michael W. Smith we've been listening to a lot lately, it goes like this:

"Lord, I will lift my eyes to the hills,
Knowing my help is coming from you.
Your peace you give me in times of the storm.
You are the source of my strength!
You are the strength of my life!
I lift my hands in total praise to you!"

She was talking about how she learned that she must walk and not try to run. That was a "wow" moment for me. I've read that 100 times, and that word has never stuck out to me before. We must learn to walk through our trials and not try to hurry them along. You have gone through so much, Sandi. I pray you keep your pace so that the LORD can bring you to HIS wide open spaces.

Hello,

I was browsing your website and saw the link the caring bridge. We have some friends using this same website for their 1 1/2 year old daughter who has a brain tumor. I enjoyed reading your story - and am humbled as always for the health of our four children.

I just wanted to send a comment about your anemia problem. I have dealt with anemia for many years off and on and I finally found the answer to the reason for it last year. I was diagnosed with celiac disease. It is the most under diagnosed disease in America. I wanted you to hear about it, because if it had not been for a stranger who told me about it, I still wouldn't know what was wrong with me. I had many, many other problems as well - several miscarriages, a feeling of being overwhelmed, very poor memory.......all things from the disease because no nutrition was getting to my blood stream.

I just pray that you will consider asking someone about this. I feel that anyone with anemia and no known cause should be tested for celiac disease. You can look on line and do some reading about it.

I will pray for you and your family! May God bless you all.

Romans 8:35-39 Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword? As it is written, For thy sake we are killed all the day long; we are accounted as sheep for the slaughter. Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us. For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come, Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.

Psalms 40:1-4a 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...

Hi Queen family. I received your catalog in the mail today. I feel it was a "God thing" as I have been struggling how to approach the next year homeschooling. I feel your catalog is an answer to prayer. I plan on ordering some of your books as soon as I can decide which ones I want! I am continuing to read some of your philosopies on homeschooling. Very interesting and a little different from how we have been homeschooling, but I am eager to try something new as my team seems to be more and more limited. I was especially interested to see you had a caringbridge page as we do also. We will pray for Jeremiah and your family.

I read about Jeremiah as well and hope to encourage you as I am praying for him and your family from down in North Carolina! I was immediately amazed by your quick desire to praise the Lord first in your entry, to receive this challenge with such submission and joy and determination to praise and not murmur against the Lord is so honorable and a fragrant offering to Him! Will be praying for perseverence, faith, joy, grace and mercy - He is sovereign and good. How awesome for Jeremiah to witness to so many through his trial and humility - he will be blessed.

Wow! You had quite a clinic day! Oh how I remember those days of Vincristine. But what I remember most is Jesse's leg weakness and inability to walk afterwards. He would beg me to carry him, but at 50+ pounds, that was difficult, especially for someone my size. At any rate, I'm so thankful that Jeremiah bounced back so quickly after his Vincristine dose. As a word of encouragement, during Friday's clinic visit, Jesse's doctor was impressed with how Jesse is regaining strength in his feet. And he seems to be regaining some of his reflexes too. The vincristine had caused a pretty severe foot drop, and he's had problems tripping and falling ever since. But over the last 6 months, Jesse has been doing better and better. He even made the travel soccer team for his age. Now that's evidence of God at work. It's so encouraging to see you handling Jeremiah's circumstances with such calm tenacity. (That's almost sounds like an oxymoron, but I hope you know what I mean.) You're a great mom, and God has obviously equipped you to know just what to do. Praise God for his faithfulness to see you through each and every ordeal. Is this also steroid time? As always, we're praying.

I bought those seabands and wore them constantly. They didn't make it all go away, but life was more doable. Someone suggested it might all "be in my head", but who cares if I felt better. Right?!

Sandi,
Sea bands are a WONDERFUL thing. I used them for morning sickness each time I was pregnant (since it lasted 24/7 for me!), and they definitely work. One note though...his wrists may get sore from the pressure, so you may need to take them off periodically for a short time to give the nerves a break.

I hope they are as effective for him as they were for me! We're still praying for you guys, even though we don't often post.

What a blessing! God has been impressing on my heart that He is in control and last night I read Psa. 135:6 "Whatsoever the Lord pleased, that did he. . . ." Then as I was meditating on those words and getting ready for bed, they began singing "Im Learning to Lean On Jesus" on FBN radio. Yesterday we went to see Nancy even though we had been told we couldn't see her and that she didn't want to see us anymore and SHE WANTED TO SEE US! She actually sat on my lap and let me hold her and love her like she used to. Then this morning when I read how the Lord turned around Jeremiah's results it really impacted me with how small our faith is sometimes. We only "see" the outward picture when God is working on the "inner" picture. Faith is what we don't see, but believe. WOW! We're thrilled for you folks and we continue to pray.

Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me.

I've never signed the Guest Book, though. Until our little baby Noah got so sick and we started his blog I honestly never realized how important and encouraging those blog comments are!! We all love Jeremiah and the children often ask about him! Please know that you are in our prayers!!!! If you ever need any more of those little toys like we sent long ago, please let us know and we will be happy to send some your way.

The ups and downs of fighting cancer are quite wearisome, but we know where our help comes from. God will see you through this and will give you the peace you seek. Please let us know if you learn anything about why Jeremiah's ANC was so high. I'm looking forward to seeing you all in Richmond in June. Keep us informed, and let us know how to keep praying. Call me if you get a chance.

Thanks to this website and your dedication to your son by writing this journal of his life, I now understand the trouble and hardship you are going through. Even through the trials you are still faithful to God. Everyone who reads this page needs to know that even when hard times come there are still people like the Queens who still serve God. This family just recently came to Calvary Baptist Church in Mannington, West Virginia. They are Faithful to the services, soulwinning, and to activities. Ive been going to that church for my whole life and have seen many families come and go, but the Queens are real. I heard when they came that they had a son who had luekemia. I might have prayed a few times for him and then went on with my everyday life. I promise the Queens that I will pray for their little boy everyday. To God be the Glory Great things he has done, and will do in that young boys life.

Here are a couple of beautiful Bible verses for you!

Luk 12:7 But the very hairs of your head are all numbered. Do not fear therefore; you are of more value than many sparrows.

Keep up your courage and God Bless you always!

Hey Jeremiah,
My name is Moriah and I use your mom's Language for the Very Young book that she wrote for my homeschool. When I was 4, I was diagnosed with ALL too. I am now 9 years old. I went through 2 1/2 years of the same treatment you are getting. It was hard for me, too, but hang in there. I have been without chemo now for almost 3 years and I am doing great. I did break my arm last summer but they said it did not have anything to do with my chemo. I know God protected me from the side effects of the chemo because, at first, I had a really hard time with it. God can protect you too if you will just ask him to. My mom and older sister are going to be at the homeschool conference this weekend, so they will come by your table and say hello. I will send my picture with them so you can see what I look like. I am staying home with my Dad and little brother. I will be praying for you to be completely well. Love, Moriah Wright

Hi Sandy,
Continuing to lift up Jeremiah and the other children you have mentioned in the past (Alexia,Noelle, Abby). I can only imagine what a challenge it must be to keep your mind 'stayed on Him"...and to not allow anxiety or fear to grip your heart.I am praying that God will be near to you as you walk this path and of course praying for jeremiah's healing too!
I stopped by at CHAP and read with interest your update after your return home...I stopped by the "Betty Luken's" booth right after she rec'd your envelope of blessing and she was so affected- in tears and explained the story to me she had not yet even opened it but expressed how touched she was that all of you would do this for her....what a beautiful picture of the body supporting one another....

By the way, we have a 5 1/2 yo dtr we homeschool but I do not have your email. Could you post it on the site?
Thanks!!

Sorry to hear Jeremiah and Evan had a bug, but I'm also glad that it passed so quickly. Our son Zachary was VERY ill this past week-- Can you believe he had viral meningitis AND probable Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever from a tick bite?! Praise the Lord he's getting better!

Keep your trust in God's provisions for Jeremiah's health. God has provided complete and miraculous healing for Jesse, and I am confident that Jeremiah is following in Jesse's footsteps. He will not relapse.

I just found your website and wanted to leave a testimony that I hope will lift you up and encourage you.
My Grandson, Zachery, was diagnosed in 1994 of A.L.L. They actually found four different kinds of cancer. My Daughter said they couldn't identify one of the cancers and named it Zachery's cancer. He spent the next couple of years in and out of Children's Hospitals in Seatle, WA and Oklahoma City, Ok. I worked at Children's Hospital in OKC and knew the Doctor's and Patient Rep. One day the Doctor and Patient Rep told me there was no hope for Zachery and that we should buy his burial plot and make plans for his funeral. We had people praying everywhere for him. One morning he woke up in the hospital and told his Mother that he dreamed that Jesus had come in the room and touched him. From that moment they have found no cancer in his body. He was four years old when they diagnosed him. He will be seventeen years old on November 26. I don't believe the Lord was ready for Zach yet and I thank him everyday for healing Zach. I am praying for Jeremiah and know God can heal him.
Sincerely, Kaye Hulsey

Keep fighting the good fight Sandi. You are an inspiration and encouragement to many. And thanks for the good word on Jesse. Yes, he is still doing great. He just had a clinic visit Friday, and as always, the doctor was most complimentary of Jesse's great health and energy. He is a wonderful testimony to God's healing power and His answers to all our prayers. As you will experience, having a child with cancer changes your perspective not only during treatment, but after treatment as well. In truth, the treatment will probably never really end, and the concern of a possible relapse is always there in the back of your mind. With God's provision, I don't expect to stop his nutritional supplements. We've made a lifestyle change, and I can't imagine returning to our old one. God has allowed this in our lives for a reason, and we plan to use what we have learned to help others, just as you are already doing. Again, thanks for your updates, and please know that we pray for you daily.

Just read a bit about Jeremiah's journey after visiting Noelle's page. No, I had not done so before now. My apologies! Thanks for letting the CSP group know about this little girl. This is now the third child we are to learn of battling with cancer. Jeremiah is now on our prayer list too.

Blessings,

Glad your day went so well and you even were able to get those evaluations done:)

It has been incredible to see the Lord work in your family. Thanks for letting us watch HIs mighty hand in Jeremiah's life. We will continue to keep him in our prayers and we pray for a special touch from our mighty Master's hand. Blessings to you all.....

Hello! I am a visitor from the Taylor Arrington site. I just read Jeremiah's story. Jeremiah is a handsome little boy and he has been through so much at his young age. I am glad to see that he has passed the two year mark. You have a large family and I am sure that it has been very tough on all of you. I will pray that God will surround you and keep you all in his loving care and that He will wrap Jeremiah in his arms and bring comfort and peace to him. I will also pray that Jeremiah will get a true miracle so that he can live a long healthy life and be able to enjoy all the things a little boy should enjoy. God bless you all.

This verse shows the tremendous care the Lord takes on our behalf. We can't see the future. We don't know what's best for us. The Lord knows! The Lord is working! The Lord has known from all eternity what is going to happen in each of our lives, and He's working to answer prayers before we even know they're needed.

My daughter just told me about Jeremiah yesterday, and sent me the link to your site. In my devotions this morning, I reread something that I hope you will find as encouraging as I have:

"... To all who are reaching out to feel the guiding hand of God, the moment of greatest discouragement is the time when divine help is nearest. They will look back with thankfulness upon the darkest part of their way. 'The Lord knoweth how to deliver the godly,' 2 Peter 2:9. From every temptation and every trial He will bring them forth with firmer faith and a richer experience." -- The Desire of Ages (my favorite book on the life of Christ!), page 528, paragraph 3.

The chapter the above quote comes from is on the death and resurrection of Lazarus. Here (for the sake of context) are the paragraphs immediately before and after it:

"Had Christ been in the sickroom, Lazarus would not have died; for Satan would have had no power over him. Death could not have aimed his dart at Lazarus in the presence of the Life-giver. Therefore Christ remained away. He suffered the enemy to exercise his power, that He might drive him back, a conquered foe. He permitted Lazarus to pass under the dominion of death; and the suffering sisters saw their brother laid in the grave. Christ knew that as they looked on the dead face of their brother their faith in their Redeemer would be severely tried. But He knew that because of the struggle through which they were now passing their faith would shine forth with far greater power. He suffered every pang of sorrow that they endured. He loved them no less because He tarried; but He knew that for them, for Lazarus, for Himself, and for His disciples, a victory was to be gained.

"'For your sakes,' 'to the intent ye may believe.' To all who are reaching out to feel the guiding hand of God, the moment of greatest discouragement is the time when divine help is nearest. They will look back with thankfulness upon the darkest part of their way. 'The Lord knoweth how to deliver the godly,' 2 Peter 2:9. From every temptation and every trial He will bring them forth with firmer faith and a richer experience.

"In delaying to come to Lazarus, Christ had a purpose of mercy toward those who had not received Him. He tarried, that by raising Lazarus from the dead He might give to His stubborn, unbelieving people another evidence that He was indeed 'the resurrection, and the life.' He was loath to give up all hope of the people, the poor, wandering sheep of the house of Israel. His heart was breaking because of their impenitence. In His mercy He purposed to give them one more evidence that He was the Restorer, the One who alone could bring life and immortality to light. This was to be an evidence that the priests could not misinterpret. This was the reason of His delay in going to Bethany. This crowning miracle, the raising of Lazarus, was to set the seal of God on His work and on His claim to divinity." -- Desire of Ages, pages 528, 529.

Here is one more passage that I personally have seen fulfilled many times in my life. (It is very similar to the promise in Romans 8:28 -- "And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose.") It has been of tremendous encouragement to me over the years, especially as I have been able to look back over situations which were major trials at the time but through which, in retrospect, I can see God's guiding hand, and realize that He really DID have everything "under control" and that His way really WAS better than the path I would have chosen:

"... God never leads His children otherwise than they would choose to be led, if they could see the end from the beginning, and discern the glory of the purpose which they are fulfilling as co-workers with Him...." -- Desire of Ages, pages 224, 225

May the God who gave His only Son for us guide and strengthen you in this trial of your faith.

We all had quite a chuckle... and the relief you all must be feeling at Jeremiah's improvement is obvious in your message! Thanks for keeping us posted!

We are VERY glad to hear that he is returning to his delightful, charming self (despite being kept in the hospital another night - I'm sure it was hard for him to see you most of you leaving without him...), and that it's looking good for them to be able to come home tomorrow - and that the house didn't burn down! We will continue praying for a speedy, full recovery!!!

Sandi,
My heart aches when I read of your frustration with the bugs others share. Our family has been in isolation so many months in the past decade it accumulates to a couple years total. Our daughter is well now but ten years ago we thought life here might be over for her. We found even extended family wouldn't understand the importance of protecting an immune suppressed child...sadly it came to the point of severely destroying relationships because of our choices to protect her. Those on the outside of cancer or other life threatening diseases can never grasp how difficult every area of life becomes for the family facing such a battle. My prayers will be with you through this night.

Sandi- Just letting you know that we continue to pray for you. I check your site every time we're on the computer, just don't have a lot of time to post a note to you'all. I completely agree with you about people taking out sick children, even if it is a 'little cold'. It doesn't matter, a germ is a germ. My now 7 yr old boy, Chase, had a severe heart problem when he was younger and was scheduled for open heart surgery in January, 2002. The Dr's told me that we had to be careful with him because he was at very high risk for lung infections with his heart problem. It seemed like every time that we would get over a sickness, we would have another one. I felt like a prisoner in our house at times. I have a daughter who is 22 months older than him and it was very hard on her too. It was very hard not to 'fuss' at people who knew that any 'little cold' could make my son have to go to the hospital. Thankfully, for whatever reason, God decided to heal my son. AMEN! The Dr's didn't know what happened one month before the surgery, but I filled them in. LOL! The point to this whole story is, even though I don't have to worry so much anymore, I am still very careful to keep my children home. Even if it is a little sniffle. Some people think that I over react, however, I would rather be safe than hurt someone unknowingly. I hope that Jeremiah feels better soon and God not only heals him from this sickness, but heals him from all his sickness. Amen!

Just wanted to say hello. We always check in to see how Jeremiah and the rest of you are doing, we enjoy reading the updates on everyone. Talked to your mom and dad yesterday, so glad to hear your dad got a good report on his cancer and I just love Aunt Margie. We've added her to our prayer list for next week. Talking always brings back great memories of when we were kids. Remember when we would go for walks at the trailer park and we would go and see the ponies??? My dad is doing okay, but he seems to be in and out of the hospital alot. David is moving from Dallas to Austin due to a job change and everyone else is doing fine. Our Joey turns 16 on Friday which means we will be visiting the Drivers Permit Center! He cannot wait, but I'm not sure I'm ready for this!!!! Take care and we love all of you. We will keep praying too!

The LORD is my rock, my fortress and my deliverer; my God is my rock, in whom I take refuge. He is my shield and the horn of my salvation, my stronghold." May He continue to be your rock!

Continuing to pray for Jeremiah...will especially pray for supernatural protection over his developing brain...and for peace for your mommy heart. I can only imagine the temptation to be anxious in the face of all these potential adverse reactions.Will be praying!!!

Praying for the clinic appointment to go well, and for you as you deal with the emotional issues of another little one's death. I can only imagine how that grieves your heart, ever so much more than those of us whose children are healthy - you obviously "feel" tragedies like this with a very different perspective than we do.

We praise God with you for His work in Jeremiah's healing (and thank Him for our own family's health), and will be praying also for Matty's family.

We pray with faith that He is directing your path, and that His hand is ever upon Jeremiah and all of you!

According to a forward I received by email today, this verse is the exact middle of the Bible. It's a good verse and one which can take on a whole new meaning when dealing with drs. They don't know everything. The Lord knows ALL things, and any knowledge drs have come from Him. So always look to the source first!
Psalms 118:8 It is better to trust in the LORD than to put confidence in man.

I love checking out Jeremiah's site and reading your updates. You are a very busy family. Continued prayers come your way each day that Jeremiah continues to do well. Such a trooper he is.You come in contact with so many wonderful people in your field. I continue to pray for the Livengood family also. Another truly wonderful wish family of ours. Please give Jeremiah a hug from his friends at Make-A-Wish. I check in quite often but don't alway sign the guest book. Just wanted you to know that I continue to keep him and all our kids in my prayers.

We read this verse at church last night and it's beyond mind boggling: God the Father "turning His back," as it were, on God the Son. Jesus went through that willingly, taking the full punishment for our sins. Since He loved you enough to do that for you, He's not going let you go through anything alone, but will be with you every step of the way.
Mark 15:34 And at the ninth hour Jesus cried with a loud voice, saying, Eloi, Eloi, lama sabachthani? which is, being interpreted, My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?

Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me.

Hi Sandi! I check in you you all every few days, but I seldom stop to leave a note. I'll be praying for Jeremiah's visit on Tuesday. I KNOW how traumatic those days are, especially the Lumbar Puncture days. I'm taking Jesse to the family doctor's office on Tuesday to have blood drawn for the CCRG orthomolecular assay. I can hardly believe it that Jesse is now 1 year out of treatment. His oncologist said we can reduce our clinic visits to once every 2 months. I mention that only to encourage you that there is light at the end of the tunnel.

Also, thank you for keeping Jeremiah's website up to date. Not all of us are so diligent. I so much appreciate knowing how to pray and how things are going for you and your family. Thank you for your openness, your honesty, and your willingness to share your lives with us. God is using you and will continue to use you to bless others in this way.

Heb.4:14-16: Seeing then that we have a great high priest, that is passed into the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold fast our profession. For we have not an high priest which cannot be touched with the feeling of our infirmities; but was in all points tempted like as we are, yet without sin. Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need.

Queen Family,

Glad to hear all is well. We think of you often at your "Little House in the Big Woods". We've been watching the entire "Little House on the Prairie" series this winter (can you tell). Stay warm. Wish we had a wood burning option, I just watch the gas meter spinning and know there is a big bill coming but we're thankful! One and 1/2 more books to go for publishing this season. I get to celebrate meeting my deadlines hopefully about March 5th, just in time for the show season to begin. I just heard from another family that we met (writing Kids Love Maryland) that is trying to stay warm on a island (where they live) in the middle of the Chesapeake Bay. They said the furnace is working, but the howling 50mph winds (with no trees for barriers) is getting a little old. Frozen on an island...makes the woods sound nice, huh?

I just caught up on your last few entries. I'm glad that you had a safe trip to and from Michigan, and that Jeremiah's clinic trip went well. We will be in prayer for those specific requests that you listed. Also, if you could remember Marcus in your prayers...he broke (actually chipped) his ankle playing basketball. The doctor is putting him in a walking cast, so the season is over for him. Oh, we aren't moving either. God opened the door for Ewing to restart a small church right in Uniontown. Sunday is the first day of the new church now named Liberty Baptist.

I'm so glad you all made it home safely from Florida. Now I pray you make to it Michigan and back without any difficulties. I enjoyed reading about your Florida adventures. Vacations tend to be like that. There's always a new adventure around the corner; if only we could be sure the adventure would always be a positive one.

And of course, I want to wish Jeremiah a happy half-way day, even if it is a couple of days late. I haven't spent much time at home the past 3 weeks. I've been helping my husband at his office. His assistant suddenly quit without notice and left him without any help. So we got Brian's parents to come from PA to keep the boys so I could be at the office. We left home between 7 - 7:30 in the morning and didn't get home until 9 - 11:30 every night! I have quickly become an expert in auto and homeowner's insurance. It was trial by fire!!! We never got a lunch break. There always seemed to be a room full of clients waiting at the same time the phones were ringing off the hook. Today is my first day off! It's Zack's birthday. We've trained a new CSR, and she seems ready to tackle the job without me. So... I'm back to homeschooling, etc. It's nice to have a few minutes to sit down and catch up on folks like Jeremiah.

As always, we're praying for you.

We learned about your son through your website and we learned about you website via an ad in a home school magazine. We also have six children and our ten year old was diagnosed with ALL in June of 03 (right as he was turning seven). (He is child #3.) It is a long, very hard journey but we can tell you from experience that the Lord never forsook us -- He was always there. Caleb ended treatment 10 months earlier than plan due to liver damage. However, praise the Lord, the cancer cells were all gone! He has been off treatment since March, 2005 with no relapse! God is good! Never give up! May the Lord give you grace day by day and sustain you through the long-haul! Many times, we operated minute by minute, rather than day by day. But God brought us through and people came to the Lord through it! He will see you through! May the Lord bless your precious family!

We will be praying for your son and family. I came across your website looking for homeschool supplies. Our 8 year old daughter was diagnosed with a childhood cancer 3 years ago. When I read your account of your sons' diagnosis I could totally relate to this new "world" of childrens' hospitals and emergency trips to the hospital. God is so faithful through it all and remains faithful. Emma was cancer-free for about a year and a half and was recently rediagnosed with the same cancer. The Lord took care of her before and we truly believe that we will see a complete healing in her body. God bless you and strengthen you and your family as you fight this horrible disease.

Hi Jeremiah
My name is Jenna and I came across your site. You are an inspiration, and such a trooper. You are in my thoughts and prayers. I love your Penguins jersey, and I love hockey. I want a Penguins jersey, because a good friend of mine plays for the Penguins, and he is from where I am from, born and raise just like me. His name is Mark Recchi. Marks brother Matt is a scout for the Penguins and I know Matt too, and his dad.

Can't ever go wrong with a passage from the psalms! These words are so very comforting. Know that I'm here praying for you as always!
Ps 9:9-10: The LORD also will be a refuge for the oppressed, a refuge in times of trouble. And they that know thy name will put their trust in thee: for thou, LORD, hast not forsaken them that seek thee.

This is the first half of Psalm 86. I know it's a bit long, but it's really special and I pray that it will give you comfort.
Ps 86:1-7: Bow down thine ear, O LORD, hear me: for I am poor and needy. Preserve my soul; for I am holy: O thou my God, save thy servant that trusteth in thee. Be merciful unto me, O Lord: for I cry unto thee daily. Rejoice the soul of thy servant: for unto thee, O Lord, do I lift up my soul. For thou, Lord, art good, and ready to forgive; and plenteous in mercy unto all them that call upon thee. Give ear, O LORD, unto my prayer; and attend to the voice of my supplications. In the day of my trouble I will call upon thee: for thou wilt answer me.

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!
Ps 90:12 So teach us to number our days, that we may apply our hearts unto wisdom.

Hello Sandi. I'm Sandi, too. About six years ago my dear husband had a bone marrow transplant as he had been diagnosed with leukemia. Today, we look at him and can't believe it ever happened. I know your precious son will live to tell the story. And minister to another in the process. Through suffering comes strength.
Jim and I read Ps. 91 every day that he was in the hospital. If he was too weak to read then I read to him.
He cares even for us.

And I hope that your septic tank issues were resolved by then, too - I'm such a city girl and a good reliable flush is one thing I definitely take for granted! ;-) (Another reminder for me to be thankful for the "little" things as well as the big ones!)

Oh do I feel your pain! We lived in CA for a lotta years and there was this tree in the backyard...let's just say the guy who finally dug up the pipes had never seen such a big root in a pipe before and took it as a trophy! So it happens in the city, too! Well to us, anyway!
These words have always given me such great comfort. We have eyewitness accounts of Jesus' life and all that He did! This same Jesus who is with us even now, giving us strength and faith to get through whatever happens in our life!
I Jn.1:1-3: That which was from the beginning, which we have heard, which we have seen with our eyes, which we have looked upon, and our hands have handled, of the Word of life; (For the life was manifested, and we have seen it, and bear witness, and shew unto you that eternal life, which was with the Father, and was manifested unto us;) That which we have seen and heard declare we unto you, that ye also may have fellowship with us: and truly our fellowship is with the Father, and with his Son Jesus Christ.

Congratulations to Casey!! Hope Jeremiah's fever stays down. My youngest has "fever viruses" every few months. The ped just says it's her body's way of building an immunity. I don't particularly like that way, but as long as it doesn't get any worse I can't argue. Hopefully Jeremiah's body will handle whatever is attacking without need of any help.

That's interesting about the capsules. What do you put in them? I can't believe you could make a 1.000 in hours...it would take me days, or weeks!
This passage is a bit longer but I really wanted to get that last phrase in there. What an amazing word picture. Know that you're engraved on the palms of the Savior's Hands, too!
Isaiah 49:13-16a: Sing, O heavens; and be joyful, O earth; and break forth into singing, O mountains: for the LORD hath comforted his people, and will have mercy upon his afflicted. But Zion said, The LORD hath forsaken me, and my Lord hath forgotten me. Can a woman forget her sucking child, that she should not have compassion on the son of her womb? yea, they may forget, yet will I not forget thee. Behold I have graven thee upon the palms of my hands.

I am praying for Jeremiah. Beware concentrated sugar, as it seems to be the devil's hit tool for cancer patients. I speak from experience that would be painful for you to hear.

Prayer is your answer for cancer. Lay hands on him & rebuke the spirit of cancer in the name of Jesus - it will have to leave (its tentacles or whatever). Jesus rebuked the fever the was affecting Peter's mother in law (directly). It is very scriptural.

My dad recovered from cancer when I laid hands on him & rebuked it, and claimed Jesus' stripes for his healing, telling his body to be healed, in the name of Jesus. I wish I had known to do the same for my nephew Jeremy.

The news is wonderful! Keep up the good prayers! & all the good work...

Mt.1:18-21: Now the birth of Jesus Christ was on this wise: When as his mother Mary was espoused to Joseph, before they came together, she was found with child of the Holy Ghost. Then Joseph her husband, being a just man, and not willing to make her a publick example, was minded to put her away privily. But while he thought on these things, behold, the angel of the Lord appeared unto him in a dream, saying, Joseph, thou son of David, fear not to take unto thee Mary thy wife: for that which is conceived in her is of the Holy Ghost. And she shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call his name JESUS: for he shall save his people from their sins.

Hi Sandi! I'm glad Jeremiah made it through his fever without a hospitalization. Our doctors require admission if the temperature gets above 100.5. It's been almost 2 weeks since I last checked Jeremiah's web page. So much has transpired! I'm glad you are all well for now. Please know that you are always in our prayers.

We'll be heading to PA This weekend to celebrate Christmas with our families, adn then we'll head home on Christmas Eve so we can have our own Christmas here in VA. I wish you lived closer so that a quick trip to your home could fit in the schedule. Some day we'll make it work.

The Lord is always there with you! He never sleeps and is always by your side!
Is.40:28-29: Hast thou not known? hast thou not heard, that the everlasting God, the LORD, the Creator of the ends of the earth, fainteth not, neither is weary? there is no searching of his understanding. He giveth power to the faint; and to them that have no might he increaseth strength.

I'll be praying! Our son had a different form of cancer and was just an infant when he started his treatments, but we were ALWAYS (well, almost always!) back in the hospital within a few days for fever. I'm guessing that hasn't been the case with Jeremiah since you're not sure about how to get to the hospital - that's a blessing! I hope and will pray that you don't need to head out - I still remember the feeling in my stomach as I kept checking his temp. We'll be checking for your updates.

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...

Continuing to keep Jeremiah in our prayers and your friend Doug. I wanted to ask you, is the woman who did the Pampered Chef fund raiser for Jeremiah still contributing some of the sales to his fund. My sister-in-law and I were chatting about ordering some P Chef stuff and I had mentioned to her that this may still be the case. We'd like it to benefit Jeremiah if possible. Plus, if this is the case...some people may need some last minute gifts and every little bit can help your son. Blessings to you!

Dear Jerimia and family.
I am sure you are getting ready for Christmas by now,I imagine Jerimia is getting excited. I am not sure what kind of weather you get, here in Nova Scotia it is SNOWING. Yes the S word. It looks nice, but shoveling is not my best subject. Any how, Love and prayers for a safe and Healthy Holiday Season.

ps. Sandi. I have created a site for Marc www.shubley.blogspot.com

He has been discharged and we brought him home a few weeks ago. He will continue to have many appointments with many specialists. His is a journey of hope and prayer and god has asked of us to comfort and guide this young man, so far he is doing as well as can be expected.
Thank you Sandi.

When seeking comfort from Scripture I don't think the first place you'd look is Lamentations. But I was reading a section yesterday and it really touched my heart. I pray that it will give you comfort, too! You know I'm praying!!!!!!!
Lam.3:22-26: It is of the LORD'S mercies that we are not consumed, because his compassions fail not. They are new every morning: great is thy faithfulness. The LORD is my portion, saith my soul; therefore will I hope in him. The LORD is good unto them that wait for him, to the soul that seeketh him. It is good that a man should both hope and quietly wait for the salvation of the LORD.

It's hard coming up with different ways to say "I'm praying" when I sign guestbooks. Know that I am praying so for you! But what's more important is what this passage says. It's my very favorite passage. It says that the Holy Spirit Himself is praying for you! Oh what comfort these verses bring!
Rom.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.

Psalm 116:1-5: I love the LORD, because he hath heard my voice and my supplications. Because he hath inclined his ear unto me, therefore will I call upon him as long as I live. The sorrows of death compassed me, and the pains of hell gat hold upon me: I found trouble and sorrow. Then called I upon the name of the LORD; O LORD, I beseech thee, deliver my soul.

I read something the other day about asking each family member which family holiday tradition they would not want to miss out on and making sure to schedule those things first so that no one misses out on what they enjoy the most about the holiday season. I thought it was a good idea and it could help keep us from getting too busy. We will continue to pray for Jeremiah's healing and protection and strength for the whole family.

Sandi, Keith, Jeremiah and family,

I read your guestbook for the first time tonight. I have had such a hard day. My husband is away on business and flew in tonight in the middle of torential rain and wind. He's still not home yet. I had to put my 4 kids to bed, plus get my house ready for him and make him dinner. But, I sat here at my computer tonight and thought of you. Completely out of the blue. Honestly, I was only introduced to your family over the summer with your catalog, never odered anything, and had no intention of ordering anything tonight. We just don't have the funds to do it. I sat down at my computer and what came to me in the midst of my own personal storm was..........how is Jeremiah??? And so I searched for your website. And I read what you said about the notebook posts. And I was outraged. And I JUST KNEW God was calling me to write to you.

So, there you have it Sandi. The Holy Spirit absolutely has compelled me to write to you tonight and offer you my love and prayers and help, if I can. From one mother to another. I love you my Sister in Christ Jesus and I just want you to know that I cannot begin to even imagine what you are going through but you and your family are on my heart and I will keep you all close in prayer. And if I can help you in any way, shape or form, please email me. And I will continue to pray for healing for Jeremiah and peace for you all.

With Love,
Donna

Sandi,
Thank you for your reminder to be thankful for healthy kids. I've had some rough times with my young ones (the usual behavioral issues, etc.), and often take their health for granted. Reading your entries reminds me that I can never be sure of what will happen tomorrow or the next day, and to be thankful, even through the stresses of being a parent. God bless you for this reminder to me. I am praying for you and your family.

Just want you to know were praying for you. Sorry you had to go through all of that when the pressure was already on, but isnt it neat how you can look back on the experience later and see how Gods hand was so evident? Were leaving Monday for the south of Chile for Claudio and Danielas final adoption hearing! Were soooo excited! Well be praying for you and if you hear anything please email me as Ill be checking my email often. We love you folks and we appreciate you!

Sandi,

we're still here, and we're still praying for you guys. Sorry we haven't posted earlier this week, but we had a short hospital stay with one of our little guys..nothing serious, just a thing that had to be handled. Our three days in-hospital made me a little more aware (once again) of the drain that an illness that is chronic and life-threatening can have on a family as well as on the child. People who haven't been in a situation where they are caring for someone who is seriously or terminally or chronically ill cannot understand the emotional ups and downs that go with it. We have spent the last eleven years caring for my mother-in-law, and for every word of encouragement that we received, there were 4 or 5 negative, spiteful, hurtful remarks about what more we could be doing or how badly we were treating her. We quickly realized that you do the best you know to do, seeking the Lord's face and strength, and you just keep going.

God's peace and strength and grace be with you all.

We are still here praying for you, especially about the test results and the decision making process you are going through. We're glad you got home safe. I checked on organic popcorn at Martin's, but they don't carry it, sorry. Since we went into the ministry it has become very obvious to us that Satan loves to use people who claim the name of Christ to tear fellow believers down. If he can make the body of Christ look bad then the world won't want to be part of it. And if this person is lost then we shouldn't be surprised when they act like a lost person. I pray that you will continue to be real so that we can share your burden.

You are very welcome Sandi! I was glad to be there for you; I only wish I could have stayed in town for the second day of testing. I'm sorry you had to chase down the vacutainer tubes at the post office, but obviously, your persistance paid off. I'm thanking and praising God that all went well the second time around.

I'm so sorry you're being harrassed by those folks. Sandi, just keep your eyes on God and tune out their mean-spirited comments. Phillippians 4:8 has helped me keep the proper perspective many, many times. "Finally brothers, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable-- if anything is excellent or praiseworthy-- think about such things."

I'm glad you all are home safe and sound.

I have to agree with Denise. I think Sabrah should quit reading this site and quit posting here. It's not doing anyone any good, but is actually doing a lot of harm. Sandi, you shouldn't have to analyze everything you say in your journal before you write. This is YOUR site and you should feel free to write anything you want on here without fear of being jumped on...it's just not right!

Always look to the Lord, the only source of comfort!

Once again the enemy strikes. Sandy was not saying anything about AFFORDING meat, she just said she wanted to get meat that was not full of of all the bad stuff like antibiotics and hormones. Lady, why don't you just stay off of this site. You definately have issues and you need to voice them elsewhere. Your like a dark cloud that keeps trying to block out the sun. Each and every caring bridge site is going to be different because each family has different needs. Considering that your the only one who has a negative attitude toward Sandi I would say YOU are the one with the problem. Of all the people on various internet sites who do bad things, say bad stuff and post bad pictures, why don't you save your opinions for them and leave the innocent alone.

Yes I do know about tragedy. I also know that Sandi mentioned before about her children being so glad she bought meat. Meat is not needed for health! A majority of the world is quickly becoming vegetarian and I would think she would want that too for her son and his health. It's those kinds of comments that are not needed. It seems she wants people to think " Oh poor Sandi, she cannot even buy meat " Sandi's posts are ALWAYS about money. Blake's mom's journal is amazing. Read and compare. Just remember there are many other caringbridge parents who might not agree with you Sandi about many issues. Never assume anything, especially when posting on a public forum for the entire world to read.

Sandi- Just dropping a quick line to let you know that we continue to pray for your son, you and the rest of your family. I thank you for letting us have a glimpse into daily life and struggles. I'm thankful that you have a site to help you vent when needed and also share the many wonderful blessings that the Lord has given you. Being one of many that the Lord has chosen not to use in the way he is using you, I appreciate knowing the many daily hardships, monetary or other, that go into dealing with this kind of illness. When I thought about my children dealing with this situation, I only looked at the emotional and physical aspect of it. You truly don't know what to expect until you see someone else dealing with it. It changes your whole life. Thank you for being real and honest. Out of hardships come many blessings. Praise God! Melissa A. Short

Sandi,
I was reading through the guestbook entries and I can't believe that someone would write such a horrible thing. Looking back on all that Ashley went through, all of the hospital visits and medications, not too mention the gas for the many trips, it adds up fast. Ashley was on this one medication for nausea. For a one month supply it was over $500. The people who write those things have no idea what families with children who have cancer are actually going through. It is hard enough when you have to worry about your child being sick, then you have to worry about how you are going to pay the bill. Ignore those ignorant people and just know that there are so many other wonderful people that have posted such wonderful entries that are all praying for your family. Your family is in our thoughts and prayers.
Hugs and Prayers,

Oh my goodness, Sandi! My heart goes out to you, having to put up with such trash posting on your son's website! You are truly one very strong woman, and until one walks in your shoes, they should just stay away and be quiet. Most likely those folks have never suffered more than a stumped toe, or a hang nail, so they have no idea what you are going thru. I do know what it is to have a child with special needs - my first child, a boy was diagnosed with juvenile diabetes when he was just three years old. I thought it was the end of my world, but he grew up a very strong and fantastic person. He played Little League and Pony League and he played football from 7th grade until graduation from high school. He celebrated his 27th birthday last week, he has a beautiful wife and three beautiful daughters. His middle daughter is now 5 and a little over two years ago she was diagnosed with Graves Disease. We were all living in South Carolina at the time she started showing symptoms, we kept trying to get the doctors to listen to us, but to no avail. She just got sicker and sicker, but God intervened and inspired my son to move his family back here to Greene County, and sure enough, at the first visit to the pediatrician, the diagnosis was given. She could have died if it had gone undiagnosed, but like I said, God knew best, and moved them back home. In fact, our entire family has moved back to Greene County, which we never should have left. Anyhow, my granddaughter is in kindergarten now, and is doing so very well!
My little cousin Alexander Kline passed away a few months ago from the same cancer that had taken his father and one of his two brothers. He had a wonderful CaringBridge site, and it is still an active site.
I don't know you, but you and your family will be in our hearts and in our prayers. You kow the saying - "If God brings you TO it, He will bring you THROUGH it". Take care and hold fast to your faith.

Thank you all for your kind comments. Yes, I do have the power to delete rude entries, but I chose to leave them there, so people could see why I put on the update aimed towards Janet; and also so that they could be aware of the fact that this goes on all the time - not just in Jeremiah's guestbook, but in many I've visited. It is sad that people can be so heartless. But, it is a fact of life. So, I chose to leave it there. It will be part of the book I am writing to publish when Jeremiah is finished with his treatments. Perhaps those who see it will use more compassion towards other sites they visit, who have gone through similar things. I have seen HORRIBLE, accusatory entries of this sort in little Donovan's site (caringbridge.org/in/babydonovan), when his poor young family is going through so much just to survive. They are MUCH worse off then we are, having had to move to another state and stay in an apartment just to get his treatment. And they have been bombarded. HIs mom, Melissa, has removed most of the nasty comments, but it is still engrained in her heart, I'm sure, from having seen it in the first place.

Oh, Sandi! I am so sorry that those people signed your "guest" book. Can't you delete them?? I've seen this same kind of awful behavior on Asher's site. Unbelievably insensitive and selfish. This is NOT the place for people to air their opinions, for pete's sake! Please continue to vent, rant, plead, complain and request all you want. We are the body of Christ. We know what we are called to do. Some people cannot understand that. I cannot even begin to imagine what you go through each month trying to make ends meet, providing the BEST food (which you should!) for a child with cancer and the rest of your family and everything else that goes on in the day-to-day of business and homeschooling!!

Sandi,

I hope you don't think I was telling you to get a life...I was telling the people who think they can judge your experience and need for financial help to go bug someone else! Like you said, if you don't like it, don't visit!

What makes people make such rude posts? I see it on lots of Caringbridge sites. Why in the world do they think they're doing some good by suggesting your needs are inconsequential.

Georganne
TX - Friday, November 3, 2006 6:16 PM CST
Thank you, Sabrah, for your "opinion" of our "facts".
No, I do not mention money on every update, as you can
see when you read the journal history.
This is, however, our reality.
And, though I do NOT feel the need to justify our decisions, yes,
the pesticides were confirmed medically.
And why Whole Foods? Because it is ten minutes from the hospital
we go to, and has the most variety. Though, as you may have noticed,
we only go there for a few things now every month. Mainly, we get
things delivered to our home through an organic grocery co-op,
and also have a co-op through our local grocery store where we get most of our food. Yes, organic food is expensive. But that is not included in what
we are counting towards Jeremiah's expenses. And, yes, I know that many dads do not bring home $3,000.00 per month - in fact, I hear you loud and clear! That is why it's so hard, and why I mention it now and then for those who care. If you don't, please note that nobody is forcing you to come and read my child's website, nor to send us your money. If you are not comfortable reading Jeremiah's site, please do not come back.
When you are dealing with cancer and major expenses with your own child,
then give me a call, and we can compare expense notes. Okay?

Sandi Queen (Jeremiah's Mom)
- Friday, November 3, 2006 4:04 PM CST
Adding too that Sandi continues to blame the cancer on pesticides which was only told to her by friends that do " alternative " screening. Not a medical doctor. The majority of us grew up with pesticide laden food. Yes, it can be bad but that does not mean that you have to buy only organic food at such great costs. Whole Foods? We would all love to shop there. Some families don't even have fathers that bring in $3,000 per month!
Sabrah Campbell
Charlotte, NC USA - Friday, November 3, 2006 2:56 PM CST
I agree with Janet and even though a compassionate person and mother too, find myself wondering why she consistently speaks of money. Not just once in awhile but almost every post she makes. She is constantly telling of how they need money for organic food, supplies etc. $3,000 per month? Many people don't even have the home business that she does. It just seems that she goes overboard in telling of the needs, many of which are not " needs " but wants. I have heard others say this too. We are just weary of all of her lists. People would be more likely to help if Sandi did not continually only speak of what she is in need of next.

Hi,
I'm not sure who posted tonight about 'get a life', but I'm dumbfounded by it. Our son was born with cancer 7 years ago and so I've been following this site and praying for your family for a couple of months now. I understand a lot of what you are facing. Matthew is our 6th child also, so trying to juggle hospital visits and admissions with everything alse was very difficult, and finances were always a concern... but, homeschool groups, our church, family and neighbors were wonderful, and we always knew that God was right there - sometimes walking right with us and many times carrying us. So many times, it was at that '11th hour' that things would work out - and that was awesome. Our son is doing well now and it is because of all the wonderful support that we had that we started A Place Called Hope - to help families with children dealing with childhood cancer. We aren't real big, but we know how much it meant to have others' support, whether it was with meals when we were at the hospital, phone calls to check in, notes of encouragement (we didn't have 'Caring Bridge back then), prayers or financial support... it meant so much to us, and now we want to give that to other families. My desire is to encourage, pray for and hopefully support you in some financial ways. You have been on my heart quite a bit these last couple of weeks, and I will continue to pray for Jeremiah and the rest of your family.

Hey Janet. Get a life and quit bugging the people who have one. Some families have had to sell all they have and move to a city far from family and friends for treatment, and then not be able to work full time because of the amount of time it takes to care for their child. You must also remember that it is a privelege and a call to share the burdens of fellow Christians.

Sandi,

We are continuing to follow Jeremiah's progress and pray for God to heal Jeremiah and meet the needs that his illness makes necessary. Remember that there are a lot of people who love you guys (even some of us who have never met you), and they are all praying daily for God's will in this situation and for His glory to be seen by those who most need to see it.

As my grandma used to say, "Don't let the turkeys get ya down." We're lifting you up daily.

I was tempted to list the caring bridge websites that allow God to bless their families with MONEY and other forms of help from those who care and feel lead to do so by the lord, but it is hard enough for them to have to ask let alone have their names mentioned elsewhere. I was very upset when I read this and I feel it is heartless. Oh, I haven't seen HEARTLESS on any of the other caring bridge websites. May God forgive you, Janet for your lack of understanding. It may do you well to research before making such statements that could deeply wound such families who struggle each and every day to keep their sick children from getting sicker. Denise

Each and EVERY caring bridge family that I have ever visited has needed to, in some ways and at some times, vent, discuss, or simply and frankly present the financial realities of long-term illness. And I am thankful that they (and you) do, for all the reasons you list, Sandi. You offer us the chance to pray and praise with you - and to act when possible. We feel blessed by those opportunities to stand in faith with you, and we thank you for your honesty and straightforward approach - I am trying to imagine how difficult it would be for me to do the same under these circumstances, but I also imagine that it is only one among innumerable difficult (not to mention heartbreaking) things that you have to do as the mommy of a child with cancer. You are doing everything that you can meet the enormous goal of healing one child and maintaining the health of the rest of you, and you are doing what is necessary to achieve that goal through God's blessing and to His glory. I commend you.

We will continue to lift ALL your needs - including the financial ones - to the Lord in prayer, and to stand with you before Him in praise as they are met!

I just wanted to stop in as I see you signed my granddaughter's guestbook (caringbridge.org/pa/ashleybyer/). Jeremiah will be in my daily prayers and I only hope that your journey is as successful as ours has been thus far. Children's Hospital of Pittburgh has been wonderful and Ashley couldn't have been more blessed to have Dr. Ritchey as her doctor. The road wasn't always smooth, as I'm sure you already know, and we really didn't want to go down that path, but cancer became part of our life and so we did. Ashley has only been off treatment since March 2006, but she is doing well. The fear is always in the back of your mind, but with God's help I pray that Jeremiah beats this cancer, as I know he will. Good luck, and if you have any questions about Children's or the clinic, or just want to talk to someone who has gone through this, I know my daughter Kelly would be happy to help out in any way she can. Take care - I'll keep checking on your sweet boy and the prayers will keep coming.

Sandi,

I don't sign often, but I check in every day as a reminder to me to pray for Jeremiah, for you and your family. My boys also pray for y'all often.

I discovered your site late one night while searching for homeschooling resources. I was in a hotel room in Springfield, Missouri - evacuated from home because of Hurricane Rita. I had been wallowing a bit that day...poor me, away from my husband who is a firefighter/paramedic and was forced to stay, having to play single mom to my boys, not knowing when I can go home, yadda yadda yadda...and then I read your story. God smacked me between the eyes and said "see...it's not so bad, is it?" I have prayed for you ever since.

Thank you for keeping us updated on Jeremiah. We feel like we know you all just from reading your journal.

All of our love and prayers,
Gina and AJ Martin

BUT, we continue to praise the Lord that Jeremiah is doing as well as he is! Cancer is a terrible beast, but there are many children who survive it - I recently heard of a country music star who had terrible cancer as a boy (and this was back when treatments were more limited), and look where he is now!

I check your log a couple times a week. I found this last summer and now feel like you're a part of my family. I pray not only for Jeremiah, but also for you, the mother and rest of the family. Even when it feels like people have forgotten you, God never will. God works right on time, never early, never late. AMEN! My children always like to see new pictures of Jeremiah and your family. They really like his cabin and asked if they could play there too. LOL! We live in IN so that would be a little out of the way. We will continue praying and asking that God give the peace and comfort that only he can provide.

Hi Sandi & family! I still check in on you all. It sounds like Jeremiah is doing pretty well. I'm so glad your prayers were answered about your child molesting neighbor. That's too close for comfort!

I hope all gets worked out in your business. It seems there's always something to keep us off-kilter. Life is never dull!

Thanks for checking on Jesse. Yes, he is doing very well. He is the healthiest of us all. I'm sure Jeremiah will do equally as well once he gets off his chemo. He already looks like the picture of perfect health. I'm sure people tell you all the time that they would never know that Jeremiah is going through chemo. He looks too healthy to have cancer.

Anyways, praise God for answered prayer and for the strength to endure.

Blessings,

Just a note, Pizza Hut has a new fund raiser. PIZZA HUT cards which sell for $10 each by the organization, AKA, (in this case) Jeremiah's Fund. The Best part is.... The organization ( Jeremiah's Fund) gets to keep half of the profits. WOW!... I will post the dates to start selling them as soon as I find out from the Wbg pizza Hut manager.
Anyone who is willing to help sell then, Please let me know. you can E-mail me at tdchadwick@hotmail.com.
Also, if you don't live in this area but have a Pizza Hut in your own area, you too can contact your local Pizza Hut manager and ask about selling the cards. A date for our area )Greene County) should be posted early this week.

We've only met briefly on this earth, as I've purchased a few things from Queen Homeschool at the MassHOPE convention before, I'm sure we would not recognize one another if we passed in the street. However, I recall being disappointed in April 2005 that your family had to cancel coming to our convention at the last minute, because of a "family emergency." I only yesterday learned just what that emergency was, and stayed up until after 3AM reading and praying through the history of your Jeremiah blog. Now I just have to pray to be faithful to the duties of my own family today! :) Seriously, though, your family is being lifted before heaven's throne by a new voice today, and I plan to ask the other members of my local homeschool support group to pray for you at our next monthly meeting, this coming Monday. May God's power sustain you as he continues to carry you through the "valley of the shadow" and may you see His blessings poured out in your family "far beyond all that you can ask or imagine."

Hi Sandi! We just got back from Florida. We attended the Bioenergetic medical conference with our mutual friends. Wow! I am still awestruck with many of the doctors, researchers, and practitioners who were there.

I can't help but chuckle at Jeremiah's food cravings while on steroids. I'm so glad to be past that point, but there were certainly a lot of humorous events while Jesse was on steroids. I guess that's why I can chuckle.

I'm glad to hear Jeremiah is doing well. And I'm glad your other children are getting caught up in math, especially when having to work so hard during the summer. That will be one more burden off your shoulders.

Blessings to you all!

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

I find these verses some of the most amazing in all of Scripture. Yes, I'm here praying for for you and your family, but what's infinitely better is the Holy Spirit Himself is praying for YOU, perfectly according to His Will.
Rom.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.

I just found your website tonight while researching more homeschool materials. (Help! I think I have information overloaditis! Ha! Ha!) My oldest is 18 and going off to college this fall. The education she received in our public school system has not adequately prepared her, so we decided to homeschool the rest of our crew. Their ages this fall will be 3, 4, and 14. Anyway, I had a recent experience with my 4 year old son and hope it might help. We were watching "Little House on the Prairie" and an older person died in the story. My son was very upset. One of my little girls went home to be with the Lord in 1996 and my 14 year old, who was only 4 at the time, was there when it happened. The hospital chaplain told me to tell her that sometimes our bodies are too sick to hold on to the life that God gave us and we go to heaven where we get a new body that will not hurt or be sick. This satisfied her questions very well, so this is sort of how I explained it to my son. When his father came home that afternoon he told him that he didn't want to grow up. He said he wanted to stay 4 years old. My husband was puzzled until I told him what our son meant. We tried explaining again, but I don't think he could fully grasp it. I think it is just hard for them at this age. Hang in there! We will keep you and your family in our prayers!

Sandy,
I've been reading about and praying for Jeremiah for quite awhile, but this is the first time I've signed the guestbook. Your family is in my prayers. I saw that someone else mentioned Organic Valley as a source. I would suggest that you actually see if you can open an account with them. Then they'll ship direct. You don't need a real huge order to qualify. You could then get their other products at a better price also. They have the BEST sharp cheddar cheese and if you buy the ends it's less than $5 a pound. Just a thought. One of our little guys when he was 4 told us that he was glad he was only 4, because that meant he had a long time until he had to move into a nursing home. We had a good chuckle over that. You never know just exactly where these ideas come from.
Be "care-less",

Praying for your family and all your needs... and also that Jeremiah's talk of "staying 4" is not related to death fascination, but rather that which most children experience as they grow. Of course you'd be able to judge that better than anyone else... it just occured to me as I was reading, though, that I have one who doesn't want to leave 12 right now - and she's expressed that sentiment a number of times in past years as well. Sometimes growing up is just hard, and they recognize it's more fun to be little... and I can only try to imagine how much harder it is while dealing with serious illness. :-( We will pray that the things which are weighing so heavy on his heart and his mood will be lifted soon!

Both of my parents are cancer survivors so...I know that you have faith but be encouraged also! I am continuing to pray for Jeremiah, that cutie-pie! In Christ,

Dear Sandy, Jeremiah and Family, I am so sorry that you have to go through this. I am heartbroken for you and all the other families that are living with cancer. My dear friend Heather's little girl Cassandra "Cadybug" is also struggling with leukemia. We will be praying for you. Thank you for your encouragement to homeschoolers, even though you have no time for yourself. The Lord sees and cares.

Despite the struggles of any cancer diagnosis, we have abundant blessings, particularly that the diagnosis started us on this homeschooling journey! You can e-mail us to ask questions at any time! We will keep praying for you and your family!

Hi Jeremiah and Family! I believe we go to the same clinic (in Pittsburgh) although we live on the other side of the state in Erie. My son Joshua also has ALL and was dx'ed just two months after Jeremiah. Josh is the fourth child of five, I imagine Jeremiah loves having so many siblings just as my Josh does. Anyway, just wanted to say "Hi" maybe our paths will cross in clinic sometime. Dr Wollman is our onc and mostly we go to clinic on Thursdays. You and your family are in our prayers.

Am so thankful that you're all okay! But it can take a day or two before you'll know for sure. We were told that it takes a full two days for symptoms to show up sometimes. (We have some experience with this). So adding prayers that you're still okay a few days from now!

Hahaha!
I got a kick out of that last entry!
This is not our YARD, per se - this is a meadow that is several acres in size. We have 15 acres, and most is woods, but we do have this grassy, wildflower area...but the few acres directly around the house, which we consider "the yard" is actually mowed regularly - in fact, the kids fight over who gets to do it!
Not to worry! :oD

Another survivor story:
We knew a little boy who was Jeremiah's age when he had some kind of cancer (not sure exactly which kind). By 5 or 6, he was in remission, and continues to be today, to my knowledge. Now he is 9 or 10, and has survived it for about 5 years. :D

Hey there. I don't know you guys -- But i am a friend of Sharon Smiths here in Va. I too read Jacob's page daily -- and It was very heartbreaking that he did not get his miracle... BUT you must keep on believing and having faith that your son will beat this...

Sharon's little boy -- jesse is a good example!

Jenni Hall is another friend of Mine (& Sharons) that is thriving after a battle with a Wilms Tumor -- TO BE HONEST IF YOU MET THIS CHILD TODAY YOU WOULD NEVER GUESS SHE HAD BEEN THRU A CANCER BATTLE .. She was diagnosed March of 2004 --- and Today is a beautiful, healthy, cancer free 6 year old.

We will keep you guys in our prayers...

Just wanted to let you know that my best friend's little girl had leukemia at the age of 2 1/2 and finally went into remission at age 5 1/2. The Doctor told them that more likely than not it would be back within a year. The whole family went on a radical (hallelujah acres?) diet and now 4 1/2 years later it has still not come back! Laura is a very healthy, beautiful 9 year old girl. I will be praying for Jeremiah.

I have never posted before, but I wanted to let you know that I have a cousin who had leukemia as a child 20 years ago and not only survived, but agaist all odds and the infertility the doctors told her she would have, went on to get married and have two beautiful daughters. There is so much hope, don't ever forget that. If they could cure her 20 years ago, I know there is a cure for Jeremiah as well. Keep your faith and trust in God, he will not fail you.

Just wanted to let you know that we know a homeschooling family whose son had cancer a few years ago. He underwent multiple surgeries as well as chemo and is currently in remission. (To our knowledge) He's doing very well - even being able to play the trumpet in his high school marching band after leg surgery! Know that God is with you in this sorrowful day - and that we're praying for your trip to the hospital tomorrow.

Jeremiah is in ours, as I pray for complete healing for these little ones. The centurion asking Jesus to just say the word keeps popping up in my mind, so I ask Jesus all the time for the same. Your homestead sounds lovely. How awesome that you're able to provide such wonderful memories for your children. Good luck with the crops! Thanks again, dear sister in Christ.

You are covered in our prayers...may the Lord's mighty hand rid your body of cancer.

To the *dear* person who left the fictitious entry regarding our family's financial situation in Jeremiah's guestbook - if ever someday we meet in person and you actually KNOW our family enough to comment on us, you are welcome to leave an accurate message in Jeremiah's guestbook. Since you never have met us, and therefore do not know our situation in person, please keep your fictional assessments to your imagination - and out of the guestbook. I'm sorry you have nothing better to do than to slander the family of a little boy with cancer. I will be praying for you - that the Lord will allow you to feel some remorse for what you have done - to put yourself in our place and realize what we are going through - and how you would feel if someone did something so UGLY and hateful to you. SHAME ON YOU!!!

Hi Queen Family,
What a great cabin for Jeremiah!!! There is nothing better for a little boy than to have a sleep out in a cabin. It's nice to hear that Jeremiah is having fun. You know, Harrisburg is not that far from Chambersburg, so if your in need of anything, a place to sleep, etc. just let us know. We are praying for you all,
Love,

We are a homeschooling family with 3 boys. Our oldest is 10, middle is 7, and youngest is 3 (severe developmental delays). I have been checking on Jeremiah for several months but never signed the guestbook. I wanted to tell you that your family is in our daily prayers!

There is an encapsulator called Cap M' Quick that can be ordered online from Frontier Herbs. I think it encapsulates 50 at one time.

I am so glad to hear that you had an amazing time at the curriculum fair. Next weekend is the large fair near where I live (TX) though I am from PA. Most of my family still lives in PA. I can't wait to see pictures of the cabin! I am sure by now that Jeremiah has played for hours inside there. I am sorry to hear about the motorhome...will keep that in our prayers.

I just wanted to stop by and introduce myself to you and your family. My son Logan is 7 years old and was diagnoised with ALL on Dec.12,2005. He is in remission now and doing good. He will be going into phase 4 of his treatment on the 24th of this month. I have came closer to God during all of this and have had to "give in" to several issues that have been hard for me. My job is our fanilies insurance and the high paying job of the family, BUT it is also a factory job that is not flexiable at all. June 19th is my return to work or have no job date. Our choice is for me to stay home. Very scary but family and especially Logan comes first right now. Small minded people who can not even begin to understand make things hard on parents like us. God bless you and your family! We will hope and pray for the best for you all! Happy Easter. Johna Miller Mom of Logan & Connor

Our sixth child, Matthew, was born with cancer almost 7 years ago, and my heart goes out to each one of you as you continue on this journey. Our son is doing well now, and we have started helping families at Hopkins (in Baltimore)who have children battling cancer. Praying for Jeremiah and all of you... the Sweitzer family

Thanks to all who signed the guestbook to encourage us and let us know you are praying for us!
Yes, we have chosen to laugh hysterically rather than cry about the taxes (I loved that comment!)
Lynn, it's not that the books did not sell, they have been selling quite well (NOW), it was that we printed them at the end of the year, right before inventory time, and our new catalog was not yet in print to be able to sell them (we don't have a physical store, just a catalog and online store). Bad timing was the issue. Thanks, Val, for the Pampered Chef plug - and for doing this fundraiser. There is still a week left to order on Jeremiah's behalf, just contact Val, below. Please continue to remember Jeremiah in your prayers!

Sandi,
You are so right! None of us have the right to complain about anything, do we? We are all SO blessed! Thank you Jesus!!
So glad to hear that all of your boys are doing better! And anyone that has the nerve to send a rude and hateful email to your family is a very rude and hateful person. Not even worth your time, so dont let them get you down!!

If anyone is still interested in helping out the Queen family, the Pampered Chef fundraiser for them will be going for one more week. I have received quite a few emails from people that said they wanted to order, but they haven't placed their orders yet. The fundraiser ends on the 18th of April, so PLEASE get those orders in!! I would love to give Sandi and her family a HUGE donation!! (all of my commission is going to Jeremiah's family, in addition to the donation from Pampered Chef)
If you need any more information, please send me an email! Thanks so much and God bless!

And I guess at this point with the taxes you're either gonna laugh (probably hysterically) or cry (probably hysterically) so might as well laugh, huh? Praying so that the Lord WILL provide!!!!! I take it that since the books didn't sell you can't declare a loss?`

Hello,
My son was diagnosed with ALL in '01, he is off currently in remission and feeling great. Gabe had problems with low counts as well and it seemed like he spent much of his time on half doses. This worried us greatly! We had a test done (not sure of the name or type- but I can find out if needed) and learned that he is missing an enzyme. This enzyme has to do with the metabolism of meds. So his meds stayed in his system longer than in most kids. This was reassuring to me because though we were giving him a 50% dose, for HIS system it was as effective as the standard 100% dose.
I hope whatever is keeping Jeremiah's counts down is resolved soon.
I will continually lift him up in prayer and your family as well.

Our daughter was diagnosed with ALL Jan 2002 at 4 yrs of age. She took 2 1/2 yrs chemo treatment, much like your son's. We went thru much of the same issues you are dealing with. She went into remission Feb 2002 and has been there ever since. She is 8 now and has been chemo free for 1 1/2 years.
God opened up so many doors of opportunity to let His light shine in the hospital. We will be praying for you. God is good and He does not forsake His children.

Dear Sandi, Keith, Jeremiah and all,

Oh how I enjoy reading your updates! Thanks for the tip to put Jesse's protein powder in capsules. I just got my capsule filler today, so I'm ready to start filling capsules the easy way, 50 at a time. I'm so glad Jeremiah has finally reached the maintenance phase, where life should get a little easier. Jesse also has to go to clinic monthly until the end of treatment; there's no hope of eliminating any of those dreaded visits. Oh how I wish!

Your Christmas seemed wonderful. Zachary, our 11-year-old, still remembers our Christmas without electricity. He was only 4, but the memory lives on. I'm sure this will be a Christmas your whole family will never forget.
Merry Christmas (belated). We wish you a joyous, healthy 2006.

So glad to hear to good news about Jeremiah's ANC count! God is so good! You should try to get in contact with the social worker in the Philadelphia Children's Hospital; that person would contact the Eagles Fly for Leukemia foundation, and they might be able to help you and provide extra money. Hope you have a very merry Christmas!

Dear Queen family~
I was searching your website for some of my favorite copywork books when I read about Jeremiah. My eyes filled with tears as I saw his pictures. My family will pray for him and for all of you. I'm a 5 year cancer survivor and can't imagine a little one having to go through all the treatments and tests. I'm so thankful that Jesus is right there with you all and holding you. Continue to trust Him and confide in Him all that you feel. Know that you are not alone, and that you have brothers and sisters praying for you.
Love in Christ,

Please know that although we are financially unable to contribute at this time, my sons, Franklin and Xander, and my husband and I pray for all of you daily. We have found ourselves waiting for your updates and celebrating when they are joyful. Thank you for sharing Jeremiah and your struggle with the world, and thank you to all your children for rallying around and supporting their youngest brother. Our prayers will continue to be with you. Merry Christmas!

Please do not let the relating of someone else's dying haunt you. Jeremiah's times are in God's hands. We are all only here as long as He wants us here, cancer or not. When we have fulfilled our purpose, then He will call us and not before! We can not take any measures that will lengthen or shorten the days He has planned for us, right? I just don't want you agonizing over someone else's comments. We should not have a spirit of fear. (((hugs))) to you.

Sandy, I cannot stress enough the importance of what you are saying about sick people staying home. They just don't realize what it can do to someone with cancer. My daughter had a 17 year old friend that found out last spring she had leukemia and a few weeks ago she got a cold, they buried her last Sat. While she had some other issues, she could not fight it off. It can be life threatening for a cancer patient. People need to understand this. I would send out flyers again, as a reminder. Even though Jeremiah is not there the rest of your family is. I am so glad he is doing so well. I love the new pic, he is such a cutie!

Dear Sandy and family,
I'm so glad you were able to spend Thanksgiving with family. We will be praying that Jeremiah's counts come back up, and for the vehicle situation. You might check on used tires for the car. We never buy new anymore, because it seems like they always have an excuse for not honoring the warranty. We can usually find tires with good tread left for about $15 each, since there are people who automatically get new tires every year. Hope this idea helps. You are all in our prayers daily.

I'm sorry to hear you're struggling so with Jeremiah and his supplements. I have so much to be thankful for with Jesse taking his without a problem, everything except the protein shake, that is. I actually stopped giving him the protein shake and instead give him Prosoteine, which has the Taurine and other amino acids in it. We're due for blood work soon, so we'll see if the Prosoteine is doing the job. You are inspiration to me. We continue to pray for Jeremiah and all of you. We pray especially that God will ease this burden.

Dear blessed family, You are in our prayers every night. I have written before about my daughter's experience with ALL. When Genna was diagnosed we had insurance through my husbands job which would not have covered everything. So, we applied for medicaid--this covered all of the remaining medical expenses. We were told that as long as Genna, personally, did not have a bank account with $3000 or more in it she would qualify. If there is a college fund or any savings in that childs name we would not have qualified. Of course many parents change the account over to a different name at the time so that they are not charged hundreds of thousands of dollars. Have you looked into medicaid in your state? Our hospital social worker helped us. Also, the taste of fruit during chemo can be especially foul. My daughter was a fruit lover until chemo--just the smell of certain foods made her gag. Adults and children alike have total taste bud changes--as you know things start to taste metallic, so strong tasting foods--Mexican, Italian--tend to be favored. (My daughter craved baked BBQ chips--she has not wanted them since she stopped chemo) Is there any possibility you could put his supplements in the spaghetti sauce? Just a thought. I worry, as I am sure you do too, all that vomiting from an immuno surpressed child could cause a small rupture or abcess--the last thing you need is an infection in his esophogus or digestive trac.I am sure you are aware of how prone kids are in this situation to cold and mouth sores and it will spread, as it did with Genna, all the way through down to their intestines--all the stomach acid that comes up with the smoothy might cause, as you said, more harm then good. You are with him night and day--I am sure God will tell you what is best. God bless you and we will pray for God's complete provisions for you and your family.

Hi Sandi, Keith, & family,

Just a quick note to let you know you're in my prayers. I read your journal entries regularly. May God grant you the grace and strength needed as you climb this mountain in your life. This kind of reminds me of Christian in the Pilgrim's Progress. He had many obstacles to overcome. You and your family have already hurdled through many obstacles, but God's grace has seen you through. There will be many seemingly "mountains" to climb, but GOD!! At the end of your "journey" you will look back and see God's footprints...all the while carrying you. Keep your eyes on God. Jeremiah's cancer hasn't caught God off guard. Just remember man's extremity is God's opportunity. Go to the fountain that never runs dry. There you will find springs in the valley!

Love and prayers,

Rhonda

I'm always sorry to hear about another family having to go through this. We will be praying for you much! God Bless you all.

Through all the frustration and pain there are moments of hope, happiness and laughter. Those moments when they say something funny, make it all worth while! Hang in there ! God will see you through for He also sees into the shadows as we pass through.
You are in my prayers!

Hi Sandi! Things seem to be going a little better now that those two horrible weeks are behind you. I keep up with your website and so much enjoy reading your updates. Our mutual friends from Carlisle keep me posted on some of what's going on with Jeremiah too. It's encouraging to hear of his progress. Jeremiah is acutally doing better than Jesse was this far into treatment. I know there are still many hurdles remaining, but I can see God's hand on your dear son. We continue to pray for your whole family. Many blessings!

Hey Mrs. Queen! I just read your update this morning and I use a 60cc syringe for Katie's tube feedings, (when we're in a hurry). They don't break easily and I reuse them quite often because they are easily washed out. Home health supplies them to me and I have a big box of them right now. If you think this is something you could use, I can send you a few, get the order number from the box and give it to you, or maybe even get an additional box and send it. Anyway, I know your need is urgent, so e-mail me at saved-by-grace@att.net. or I will look for your e-mail address in my past mail so I can send you my phone number. I don't know how else to get it to you without giving it to everyone. If you think of anything else, let me know.

I got your site from another child's and have been keeping up on Jeremiah but this is the 1st time I have wrote in his journal.. As a mother of a 2 year old boy I can only imagine how difficult it is to make a little boy understand what is going on. We take so many things for granted each day. I read another site a reason why children get sick and it made so much since so I just thought I would share it w/ you. A woman said the reason why children get sick is because .....
God gives these special children this certain light. You can see it in their smiles and in there eyes. It is unmistakable. I'm sure you have seen it in Jeremiah. The devil cannot stand the fact that God has made such a perfect creation w/ the brightest light he has ever seen. The devil of course can't stand it. He in return tries to darken this light and make it dim. But there are just such amazing creations that they keep on fighting w/ their light burning strong as ever. This means that he can't win. God will make sure that Jeremiah has the strength to fight as he is also battling for God too. I hope this makes sense to you too. God Bless. I will keep praying for you Jeremiah. Happy Belated B-Day!!!!! Hang in there mom,
it will be ok.

Hi, Sandi.

You don't know me. I was just checking into your website to look for a book, and saw that your dear little boy has cancer. I read your entries for Tuesday and Thursday, and wow, did that Tuesday entry ever strike me. Thank you so much for that heartfelt exhortation. Please be encouraged that your words struck deep in the heart of a fellow Christian, and that I pray He will cause them to bear fruit in my life. I also pray that the Lord will heal your dear son, and that He will give you strength for whatever comes, and much blessing and encouragement along the way. May God's tender Father heart be evident to your little hurting one as he goes through all these hard and confusing things.

I have been keeping in touch with you and your family for the last month thru your blog. I pray for you constantly and my heart feels like it will literally burst at times with happiness and sadness. Jeremiah is God's light to others in this hardship. He's able to draw other's to Christ without even trying. Isn't it wonderful the blessings God gives us even in hardships? May God keep you and his will be done.

Praise God. It sounds like he is doing great coming through this difficult time--God is with him and with all of you. When I read about Jeremiah's cowboy life I had to write to you about a place, you probably already know of, that we went to this summer. It is called Frontier Land (One word?) and it is in or by Ocean City Maryland. It is only open during the summer months, but it is a living western town--train robberies, stage coach rides, shoot outs..a little cowboys dream come true. These tough times will soon pass for Jeremiah and you have years and years of joy and fun to plan. You are in our prayers.

Our family is praying for your sweet son and your family too. I wanted to tell you that despite your trial, you are an encourgement to me. Thank you for being REAL! Your testimony of the Lord is so pure and it is a blessing to see the Lord work in your life. I have 5 little ones under 8 years old and you have helped me keep life in a real perspective. Thank you for being bold and encouraging people not to pray to Mary and whoever else....Jesus is the ONLY one who can heal Jeremiah's cancer. My son Joey (4 years) prayers for Jeremiah every night and he asks me frequently how he is feeling. Joey has always been a prayer warrier....he's a young mighty man of God...I do hope to meet you and your family some day...Blessings to all of you...PS- Your products are GREAT, I just put in my first of many orders to come. Thank you for great quality and heart changing products.

Hi Sandi.

I'm so glad Jeremiah is making progress with the computerized health screening. Jesse will be tested again next week when our dear friends come to our house. It's always so encouraging to see results from all the time, effort, and money we put into fighting the leukemia. Jesse has clinic this week with IV Vincristine and starts another round of steroids. I'm certainly not looking forward to that. God has stretched our family, and it appears he is certainly really stretching yours. God has provided every step of the way. We will continue to pray diligently. Even Jesse prays daily for Jeremiah. I'd love for them to meet someday.

Love and prayers,

Dear Sandi,
I've written you before to encourage you, as our 22 month
old son was diagnosed with ALL in March of this year, and
we were ahead of you in treatment. Now, though, you are
ahead of us, as Ethan is on a "high risk" protocol due to
some leukemia cells found in his spinal fluid at diagnosis,
and an initial high white blood cell count. We will be
starting Delayed Intensification next week. I wanted to
share with you that one of the doctors spent a lot of time
with us going through each drug Ethan would be receiving
and explained that the very serious side effects were not
only very rare, but would also usually occur with much
higher doses. I think all we can do is pray for protection,
and try not to worry. A verse I always have to come back
to is Phil. 4:6-7 "Be anxious for nothing, but in everything
by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which
surpasses comprehension, shall guard your hearts and your
minds in Christ Jesus." We have definitely experienced God's peace these last 5 1/2 months, and pray that you
will also.
About the crazy ANC number, we haven't been able to figure
that one out! It seems when we expect it to go down, it
goes up, and vice versa! I know it's frustrating when
treatment gets delayed, (and we only have about a 40 minute
drive to our hospital), but I think something another mom
wrote in your guestbook is so true, that God knows the best
timing for our little guys' treatments.
Continuing to pray for Jeremiah,
Andrea Marley

Milpitas, CA USA - Wednesday, September 7, 2005 3:11 PM CDT
Dear Sandi,
We were there where you are in 2001. Genna's hair did not fall out all the way until the delayed intensification period. I just kept combing it trying to get it to come out faster so that it also would not keep getting in her eyes or mouth. She looked beautiful bald--and now tells everyone what a beautiful baldy waldy she was. When the hair starts to grow back it is like duck down--soft and wonderful to touch. But now it is long and curly--all the way down to her waist. She also, from the steroids, gained over 20 lbs in one month. It made it so difficult to find clothes that fit. Now she is growing like a weed and all of her muscles are developing again. Her face is thin again. I am telling you all this because there is the other side. I wish I could say that we did not have frightening periods--you have already experienced that. But you have faith, God will carry you and your son through all of this in His loving arms. Every child we know went through each phase differently--God is with you in the good and the bad. It is a blessing that Jeremiah was not given the chemo when his ANC was so low, God knows when things should and should not be done, it is in His hands. And may He bless your daughter--birthdays are a day of thanks for God giving you your child--they can be celebrated everyday--we had to move, due to sickness, quite a few holidays--it never made them anyless valuable or special. Joy, blessings and gifts--are perfect anytime. Your children are so blessed to have you as a Mom. I know what got Genna through a lot of rough times was her videos--we now have over 300 Disney, Winnie-the-Pooh, Sesame Street, Barnie, etc--they helped her escape to a happier place. Laughter is such a great healer, it boosts the immune system. I tried to focus on how I could bring joy to Genna no matter how sick she was feeling and that helped me get through a lot of tough periods--it took my mind off the fear. I can not tell you anything you do not already know--we too are trying to be as organic and health conscious as possible (I was diagnosed with breast cancer almost 2 years ago, I know that God has healed Genna and I, but I want to do all I can to bless our bodies as I believe He wants us to--it is not always easy)God bless you and your family. I am sure you had and continue to have Jeremiah prayed over and for. Annointing with oil or water. All of these things we are told in the Bible to do for the sick. I also have often gone to CHristian websites (Joyce Meyers, Paula White...) where they pray for healing and/or we can pray for each other. I will write for prayers for Jeremiah and he will be in our prayers.

Hi Jeremiah. I'm sorry your hair is falling out. I'm praying that you won't get bald and that you will get better soon. I hope you feel better soon. I don't like it when I have to take steroids. The Hagers are coming to my house soon and I will get screened again. Do you like getting tested? I like the Hagers because they help me a lot. I will keep praying for you.

Love,

Chesterfield, VA USA - Thursday, September 1, 2005 10:25 PM CDT
Dear Queen family,

I'm so sorry that you had two terrible days in a row! Hopefully, things are brighter today. The Vincristine and steroid combination causes significant leg/foot weakness and pain. Of all that Jesse went through, that was the worst. His doctor told us that Jesse had the worst foot drop that she had ever seen from the drugs. But it sure sounds like Jeremiah is just as bad or worse than Jesse. We will keep you covered in prayer. Also, regarding the steroid liquid, you may find you like the pills better anyway. We had the same problem getting Jesse's Dexamethasone. We ended up wtih the pill form, and we've had no further problems. At first we crushed them, but now Jesse swallows them without a problem. The Dexamethasone liquid was the nastiest stuff. I pray Jeremiah will adjust to the crushed pills. Jeremiah's cravings sound just like Jesse's. Jesse wanted all sorts of foods with tomato sauce, cheese, and vegetables. Of course, he had to have his Natural Doritos along with every meal. Jesse will have another round of steroids in mid September. I'm dreading it. The personality changes, the mood swings, the food cravings, the leg weakness, etc.-- we know what's ahead. May God bless you all more richly than ever this coming week.

Hello Dear Family,
My name is Dorie Hahn. I am part of the Tri-State Homeschool group and I just read about Jeremy. 5 years ago my daughter Genna was diagnosed with ALL--she was 3 1/2 at the time. I think the severe pain your son is experiencing in his legs is probably from vincristine. Vincristine toxicity can be very crippling--it does go away after it is reduced or stopped. Steroids of course do a lot of damage to the joints too! We also had a lot of problems getting yucky medications into Genna. A lot of them can be mixed into baby food fruit or with grape juice and given orally through a 60 cc syringe (the kind that has the luer lock at the end)You can ask the doctor if mixing with fruit is okay--grape juice, we use organic, masks every taste. You can crush or mix the contents of capsules and pills into the baby food and pour it into the end of the syringe. It goes down faster that way and they don't taste it. I must say I envy your son's cravings--Genna wanted BBQ potato chips and cheesy goldfish ONLY, 24 hours a day. Please write to me about anything you would like, I will email you my phone number if you would like. You will be in our prayers. It is a long journey and I feared it was going to be the end of our joy, but it was not. We still had wonderful, fun times together--and the Make-a-Wish to Disney when Genna was 5 was great! God Bless you all.

Hello Queen Family!
Oh Sandi I think, wait I know I would have been in tears after the kind of day you had. Hopfully tomarrow is full of better things to come. We are sure happy to hear that Jeremiah's ANC is up.It's that light at the end of the tunnel that can keep you going, when everything seems dark.
Our little Ellie Anna has about the same diet at Jeremiah, all she likes to eat is pasta and Top Roman. It's like pulling teeth to get her to each much more. (with the exception of fruit.) We will continure to pray that Jeremiah's ANC will keep going up, and for a much better Saturday.

Queen family,

I am praying for you all! Jeremiah is going through a phase that Jesse did not have to endure. My heart aches for you in all that you're dealing with. After reading your recent postings, I now know your kids are normal, like most of us. :-) Regarding Jeremiah's counts, the steroids will push his ANC back up again. (At least it should.) I pray for you daily. Every morning when it's time for Jesse's protein shake, I think of you. You are an encouragement to me. Thank you for the blessing you are to me and many others!

I do thak God for His watchcare over you and although this fallen world is full of adversity, there WILL be a day with no more tears and no more sadness. In the meantime, continue to take heart in His love and know that so many are lifting you before His throne.

We love you and appreciate your family so much. Tell Keith he really got something started with JB's book! Someone else sent a copy to Fox & Friends Morning Show and they booked him Sept. 9 while he is home on leave.

Psalm 121:1 "I will lift up mine eyes unto the hills, from whence cometh my help" When I found out at 17weeks pregnant that my son would be born with Spina Bifida, all I could do is depend on God to give me the strength to endure the struggle that my child would have to go through the rest of his natural life. Today my son is a happy, beautiful 4 year old, living every day with the complications of Spina Bifida. I can relate to the long sleepless nights, the anxiety and the uncertainty of what the next day might bring. The only thing certain is Gods promises and his love. My heart and prayers go out to your family. Just yesterday I was asking God, what more should I be doing to help someone who is in need. Over the next few days I will be asking God to give me some direction on what I could possible do for your family. In the mean time I am ordering candles and I will be fasting and praying for Jeremiah and your family. I believe that God can do anything he chooses to do and I believe that he will utilize his people to move and do the things he has ordained. Continue to praise God through all of your circumstances, and remember that faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen, Hebrews 11:1

Dear Queen Family,

I am the mom of six. My oldest had a life threatening fatty acid metabolic disorder for nearly seven years. He is the healed of the Lord and a homeschool graduate preparing to go into mission training. Be encouraged! We serve the God who heals our diseases. My second son, now 16, is being healed of Autism by the Lord's awesome power. God says that by His stripes we are healed & He is not a man that He should lie. He is a covenant keeper!

My slogan for the past nineteen years has been,"It doesn't matter what things look like in the natural." Stand on His Word alone and when you are too exhausted to stand, call in the prayer warriors to hold your arms up. He will not let you fall. I sobbed when I read your posting, Sandi, that you cry in the shower. Me too. That is the time when all barriers are down.

I pray grace , peace , and healing for Jeremiah and your family.

In the Mighty Name of Yeshua,
Sandra Deal

Dear family of Jeremiah,
I stumbled upon your website today looking for homeschool curriculum. I read your article about Jeremiah. I can't even imagine all that your family is going through. However, I do know that God is a very good god and is faithful to those who love him. I can sense the love you have for Him dripping off of every word you write. Continue to keep up that faith and I will continue to pray for you and your family. God bless you all.

It seems like forever since we saw you guys. Jeremiah is quite a handsome guy (Keith: he must get his good looks from Sandi:) We heard about this latest round of treatment from Dave and Linda Oraweic. Of course we will be praying as we have prayed already today (8/9) for complete healing.
We love you.

You are in our daily prayers. All of our family, here and on the west coast, will be in intensified prayer during this time to come.
I look at little Jeremiah's picture every day, and I pray for him first thing every morning.
I have faith that God is weaving a beautiful tapestrey with your lives right now, what a wonderful thing it will be when you can see it as He does, from the top, instead of all the knots that we see from underneath! That day is coming!!
God Bless you all.

Hello Queen Family,

We are a fellow homeschool family with six children and have ordered products from you. We recently learned of Jeremiah's illness from talking to Sharon Smith, and we too have a little boy with ALL (Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia). We know the journey well! ANC's, isolation, uncertainty of the future, etc. The journey is a difficult one. I praise the Lord for walking each step of the way with us. If you are ever in need of visiting with one who has walked in your shoes, please stop by our Ross' caringbridge page at www.caringbridge.org/ga/ross. Our thoughts and prayers are with you.

Hi Sandy! We're so sorry to hear about Jeremiah's blood counts. Please know that he remains in our family's prayers and we hope he can get through his next round of treatment quickly and uneventfully.
I was at the homeschool conference in Pittsburgh, PA the week before he went into the hospital initially and heard the familiar sound of a LeapPad coming from your booth. Are there any LeapPad books he doesn't have that we can send him? How about "Your Big Backyard" (published through National Wildlife Federation) used magazines?
Some little toys will hopefully be on their way to your house soon. BTW, I wouldn't consider it "bribery"-think of it as "incentive." You're doing a great job at making the best of a difficult situation.
We pray for strength for your family during these trying times and a full recovery for Jeremiah.

Hello, my name is Adrian. I would love to send Jeremiah a sun-safe hat. It has a flap in the back to protect his neck from the sun. I don't know where to send it, though. I got your website from Jesse Smith's. Sharron and I went to church together. My daughter also has CA. You can find a link to her on Jesse's website. Leave me information on where to send the hat and I'd be more than happy to do so. You sound like you're holding up well and trusting the Lord to see Jeremiah through this. We will be praying for all of you. Love in Christ, Adrian

We are thankful to your family for providing us with great curriculum when you visited our WV homeschool conference several years ago. I'm glad to have found your website where we can purchase more great resources from you. Most importantly, we are glad for the opportunity to petition God for healing and strength on Jeremiah's behalf. We don't know why God has allowed this to happen in your family, but we claim His promise of all things working together for good to those who love Him. It's obvious that serving the Lord is the heart of your family and you love Him dearly, so we trust He'll take care of you. We'll not stop praying for Jeremiah and continue to ask others to do the same. We have a 3 year old son too, so your issue touches are hearts deeply!

Dear Sandi,
We are new homeschoolers and visited your booth at MACHE in Frederick, MD this Spring. After pouring over your catalog at home, not only was I inspired to train my children as you have, but I felt as if you were family. Thank you for sharing so openly. I learned of Jeremiah's situation when I met your mother at your booth at CHAP in May. We hugged and cried together. Amazing how the family of God can connect even as "strangers". I continue to lift you all in prayer, literally feeling the burden in my own heart. Remember that His grace is sufficient for you and His power is made perfect in your weakness. And He is Jeremiah's God just as much as He is yours.
Love in Christ,

To the Queen Family,
I believe in my heart the He is watching over you, your family, and especially Jeremiah. I pray for Jeremiah and you to have the strength to carry on each day. Your description of giving Jeremiah his "medicine", reminds me all to well of trying to give my own children antibioitics. Love is a wonderful gift that He gave us and Jeremiah will realize this when his battle is complete and he is a strong and healthy man. Hold on to that hope.

The picture of Jeremiah is adorable. I'm so sorry that the daily care you give him seems to be only the bad things. I hope you know it's temporary and that some day you will not have to chase him down for medicine. It will be a chase around the house ending in a big tickling fight between the 2 of you and then you can praise God together that He got you through this time. Love and prayers!

Prayers to you and little Jeremiah for healing and strength and wisdom in the name of Jesus Christ! I read about your situation in the PA Homeschoolers newsletter and don't know you personally but are familiar with Queens catalog. I can't imagine what you are all going thru.. especially with the meds., etc. Maybe you can look into, if you haven't already, the Gerson therapy for him, Gerson.org. or hacres.com. The Gerson therapy has healed cancer patients many times.. it may be something to consider. I will be praying for you all... Blessings to you..

I am not typically an adviacate of bribery, but would it help at all to "bribe" Jeremiah into taking his medication? Maybe a grab bag of small toys he might find facinating, or something special to do? I know he is feeling cranky, and who can blame him. One thing you might talk to your friends that deal in health medicine is coffee enamas. Nasty yes, but excellent for cleaning out the liver. As always our prayers are with you and your son. May God bless and be with you, may He cause His face to shine upon you.

Dear Sandy and family,
I saw your post on the website shortly after Jeremiah was diagnosed, and just came back to see if there were any updates. I read the whole history. I have prayed for all of you, but Jeremiah was heavy on my heart today which is what prompted me to check back. You are right, I have no idea what you are going through, but Jesus doesn't take us anywhere he hasn't already been, so I pray his strength and comfort for you through this ordeal. Thank you for your testimony and faithfulness to him.

Just letting you know I am praying daily and thinking of all of you! I have taken and am still on steroids and it is not fun. And the 6-MP, well that is another story! I will continue to pray for Jeremiah and your family!

I hope you don't mind, but I wanted to ask all the prayer warriors reading this to pray for another very special little boy, as you pray for Jeremiah. His name is Carter - he is 5, and he has been battling another form of childhood cancer called Neuroblastoma for 2 1/2 years. We just today received word that his disease has suddenly progressed, and his mom is asking for all the prayers we can rouse. Please visit his Caring Bridge site if you have a moment: Carter Thank you!

As a mother of 5, I know what it means to be worried sick with fear and lack of sleep over little ones who are not feeling well, but I have never had to face what you and your family are up against. My heartfelt prayers go out for you and Jeremiah. You will be in my thoughts each day as my children work on the books you created. Thank you for investing in my kids lives with your books. May your family grow closer and closer to each other and to God during this time.

Sandi, I'm lifting you all up in prayer this morning - strength for you and the boys during this separation, for the vaccines to work at least until Jeremiah is completely healed and chicken pox will no longer hold such dire consequences, for his appetite and strength to return and of course for complete healing, for wisdom for you when you face those tough "do I call the doctor" moments (I perceive that your indecision lies in the fact that you don't want to make any unnecessary hospital trips because they upset him so much, but that you also don't want to overlook something significant - and that must be a terribly hard place). And also for all the other needs that God knows, and is already working to meet, in His time. May God continue to hold you especially close as you pass through the dark places.

I heard of Jeremiah's trials through a friend that has ordered from you. Please know that we are praying for your family during this time. I have also notified my pastor and have requested that Jeremiah be added to our prayer list. As servants of our Lord Jesus Christ you have a wonderful work through the materials you offer. I pray that the Lord will restore your son so that he may enjoy even more time without isolation.

Dear Queen family,
Your journal entries bring me to tears. The memories are painful, and although the journey is still painful, it does get better. The effects of the steroids are terrible and difficult for the whole family to bear, but this too shall pass. The feelings of loneliness and isolation (for lack of better words) are hard to deal with. Nobody can really understand what you are going through unless they've been there themselves. Having a child with cancer changes everything. I've been there; I am there. You are in my prayers, and constantly on my mind. I promise to call you soon.

Dear Sandy, I just wanted to drop you a little note to hopefully encourage you. I can't even begin to imagine what you are going through, but through it all you continue to be an example to us all through your testimony. It is so hard to watch a loved one, especially a child, suffer. Here is a verse I found helpful when my mother passed away this fall. Psalms 30:5 "Weeping may endure for a night, but joy cometh in the morning" All I can say is just hang in there. We are all praying for you guys. Kelly

Sandy,
I read Psalm 142 this morning and thought of you and Jeremiah. We do care for you and we do pray on your behalf daily. Also within the reading was the passage from Matthew- "For human beings this is impossible, but for God all things are possible." (Mt 19:26) You are not just giving testimony with your mouths, but with your whole lives, just as Jesus asks us to do.
I know that you have thrown yourselves at the feet of the Lord and He is blessing many people through your witness. Thank you for your faith and courage. I hope to meet Jeremiah someday and tell him Thank You in person.
God Bless you all.

Dear Keith and Sandy we are standing in the gap for you and your family. My prayers of Faith are lowering your Jeremiah down through the roof to bring Jesus' healing touch to him. And Sandy your words that this will bring glory to God are right on. Yes we don't always have to understand 'why' just trust.
He is a God of Mercy and sees and knows all that your dear family is walking through. He is faithful and will remain by your sides through this. We are encouraged by your words of faith in our Savior and His work in your lives.
I pray for Jeremiah's mind to be protected and his heart to be filled with the peace of God. Bless this little one who belongs to you oh God and remain faithful to the call that you have on his life. May Jeremiah come to know you now in a way that he never knew before, even at three, show yourself to him Lord and show him your Glory Father, I ask in Jesus name.
Our love to your family. If we can do anything let us know. Your friend from the Rosetta Stone Booth, Denise Valle

I am going to make a commitment to pray for Jeremiah's healing, and for your whole family as you journey through this rocky road.

Hi Sandi:

I left a message for you yesterday on your business website but I wanted to let you know how moved I was by this website and by your story. Please know that you, Jeremiah, and your whole family are in our thoughts, hearts, and prayers! I also wanted to let you know, if Keith & the children can make it to Scranton in August for the Curriculum Fair, we would like to donate the vendor space (as much as you need)to your family so everything you make will be profit to help with your expenses. We will continue to pray for Jeremiah.

I pray your journey home will be swift and safe. I know you must miss being there. You are continually in our prayers and thoughts as we lift you before our great big God. Please know that Crooked Pines is loving you today.

Sandy, after I signed the guest book I was going over my emails and someone sent me this. I can't believe how good God really is.

Mark 11:22,23,24

" And Jesus answering saith unto them, Have faith in God.
For verily I say unto you, that whosoever shall say unto this mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea,and shall not doubt in his heart,but shall believe that those things which he saith shall come to pass, he shall have whatsoever he saith.
Therefore I say unto you, What things soever ye desire, when ye pray, believe that ye recieve them, and ye shall have them."

I hope this helps you like it did me. All our love,
Emily and Family

Dear Queeens,
I received Jeremiah's website from my friend in Christ, Nancy Shawgo. Jeremiah and your family will be in my prayers as my heart goes out to all of you. May you be strengthened in God's love and the love of us fellow Christians.

Our 5 year old grandson, Carter, has been fighting a childhood cancer, neuroblastoma, for over 2 1/2 years. Throughout this rollercoaster of a time, the love we have all experienced has been overwhelming.

I will keep updated on Jeremiah and keep praying for him and your family.

Dear Queens family,
My heart aches for you right now. I can truly say I know how you feel. I read your journal entries, and I am driven to tears remembering those first few months with Jesse--The steroids and chemo. It was horrible! I am always available to talk about it and share my experiences with you. Hopefully, I can save you a lot of time, energy, and searching. There is so much you can do to help fight the cancer and to protect Jeremiah from the chemo side effects. God has provided many wonderful resources to help us through this ordeal. I am offering myself as one of those resources for you. Call me, email me anytime. You are not alone in your pain. I pray that God will ease that pain and bring you peace in the midst of it all. Blessings,

I just found Jeremiah's story today, on my first visit to your queenhomeschool.com website. Jeremiah and all of you will be in our prayers constantly. I have a little idea of what you have gone through, just having spent 5 days in the neonatal ICU with our newborn, Emily, who was born April 10. I can't imagine the difficulty of seeing a 3 year old go through such suffering, however. I do know, however, that God is SO FAITHFUL and His lovingkindness is everlasting!!! He was so great to us through our crisis, and know He will continue to be so for you also. He truly can make all things work together for good.

A mutual friend sent me the URL for your web site. I read every word of it yesterday. I was so affected by the amazing Grace with which you've faced this nearly insurmountable challenge, I was unable to sign your Guest Book at first. I was able to read it a second time this morning. I plan to make it a part of my daily routine to visit your site, to see whats going on with Jeremiah as he struggles with this horrible disease.

I know someone, by the name of Mary, whos been diagnosed with leukemia. Her story is somewhat dissimilar to the one your little boy faces. Shes led an amazing, long & loving life. Jeremiahs age makes his story tug much more at my heartstrings. There are many things we cant easily accept, as adults, when bad things happen to good people. When they strike young folks, it truly is heartbreaking.

Your experiences are inconceivable to parents (and to me, a grandparent), who, by the Grace of G-d, have not endured such. We can but partially imagine the range of emotions with which you and your family deal.

Im gladdened that you have a strong foundation in G-d. Without Him, youd be lost at sea. Youre not alone during these crucial days, for He is the Great Physician! Since I believe in the awesome power of prayer, also know that Jeremiah, as well as his extended family, will be in my prayers.

With your permission, Id like to put a link to Jeremiahs plight on our web site, The Magic Dragon Society. Were associated through the love & compassion weve come to value in the music of Peter, Paul and Mary. Im sure many MDS members would be moved to action, after reading this chronicle. Whenever you have a free moment, please let me know if I may link to your web site.

Springtime! Rebirth! Perhaps the changing of the season signals positive progresses in the treatment of your young sons illness? May G-d bless you all. Jeremiah remains in my thoughts.

Dear Queen Family, I learned of Jeremiah's illness while checking out your website to order a catalog. It's neat how God brings prayer needs before us in unexpected ways! As I read through the diary you've kept, the tears flowed! We had a son who almost died at birth (he's now a strapping 14 year old!). What you describe brings back so many memories! We are praying for ALL of you. May you feel our Heavenly Father's arms around you as He walks with you through this difficult time and may you discover His wonderful ways of ministering to you through your Christian brothers and sisters both near and far.

I found your website through a search engine for home school supplies--as I am tring to research materials for my first year in home school. ( Mine are 10 yr, 5 yr, and a 3 week)I was deeply touched by your home page on your website and had to find out how everyone is doing. All of you have definately have been an inspiration to me--as you have kept your faith intact through this trial and has given me something to ponder on. My stepdad was diagnosed with leukemia about 6 years ago-he is now in remission. He also went through some of things Jeremiah is. My Mom did alot of research and both of them started to also combat the cancer naturally through a change in thier diets. ( I will ask her if you would like) I know that it helped my Dad to fight the cancer. I know of a few others who have successfully helped fight this naturally. Also I have a suggestion for the constipation problem--prunes. My daughter who is 5 still thinks they are "candy" and loves to have them as a "treat"-although she usually on ly gets them when she is constipated. My prayers and thoughts are with everyone.

I just wanted to drop a note to tell you that we are praying for Jeremiah and all of you. This trial for you all is very great, but God is GREATER!! This is a battlefield but don't despair-the Christian life is worth the difficulties. Do you have a hymn-book available, maybe someone could get one to you-Sing SING Praises. The song that keeps runing through my mind right now is DOES JESUS CARE? OH YES HE CARES and so do we. The Thomas Pratt Family in ME

We pray that God will bless your family. I felt led to speak briefly with Mr. Queen when I was at MassHOPE after finding out about Jeremiah. My niece was 3 when diagnosed with the same thing. She is now 8 and doing great. I wanted to share this poem with you. It was given to me when I was diagnosed with cancer in May 2002 (I'm doing great, also!). "For Cancer Is So Limited - Author Unknown - For cancer is so limited---It cannot cripple love, It cannot shatter hope, It cannot corrode faith, It cannot destroy peace, It cannot kill friendship, It cannot suppress memories, It cannot silence courage, It cannot invade the soul, It cannot steal God's gift of eternal life, It cannot quence the Holy Spirit, It cannot lessen the power of the resurrection." This brought me such comfort and peace during my time of surgery, chemo, and healing. Jeremiah, you will continue to stay in our prayers! In Christ!

My heart broke for you and the experience you and your precious baby boy are going through. We have 4 children, ages 11 1/2, 10, 8 1/2 and 2 1/2 yrs. We know that God is in control in all things and he he will work things out for all good and according to His will. I have devotions and prayer time in the morning with the children and we will add Jeremiah and your whole family to our prayer list. There is something precious about a young child's prayer on behalf of another. We will also add sweet Jeremiah to our church's prayer list. Prayer is SO POWERFUL.
We also pray that God's peace and love will comfort and surround your during these difficult hours. God bless you and your family. He is holding you in the palm of His hand - along with your sweet angel baby.

I didn't think I'd sign the guestbook... just quietly pray for Jeremiah and you. But then I clicked to your homepage and realized that Hey, I just ordered your catalogue a few weeks ago (and really like it, thanks!) and we're in western PA too,so I guess in a way I know you. I shall pray for Jeremiah and you, but I also wanted to sign in and let you know that. May God give you the peace which passes all understanding, bless Jeremiah with healing and take away his suffering, and may you dwell each day in the palm of his hand.

Dear Sandi, Jeremiah and family,
You do not know me but God know us both and we ARE sisters in Christ. You are all in our thoughts and prayers. My heart goes out to you. I can't say I know how you feel but I have three children of my own and I can only imagine. I wish I could be there and give you a hug and let you know how much I care. Please give Jeremiah a hug for me. I will be continuing to pray and lift you and your family up to God. He is in control! I will be sending you a few things from you list for Jeremiah. I hope he enjoys them and has a good report real soon. God bless you all!!

Love in Christ,

Hello Sandy, Jeremiah and Haley,

I just wanted you to know that you are in my prayers. Asking God to do a mighty work in Jeremiah's little body and heal him from this cancer. I also ask that he will give you the strength (mental, physical, emotional) that you need each day.

I have an almost 3yo, it is so hard to watch them be sick at that age. Sandy, please know that as a mom, I say very special prayers for your heart.

Blessings,

Hello Sandy and Jeremiah and Haley,
Thank you so much for creating this website so that all of your many, many friends and extended family can keep in touch with you, hear daily updates, and pray with you for Jeremiah's full healing in body and spirit. Our hearts here at Pennsylvania Homeschoolers go out to you-- I remember our very nice relaxed chat together while packing up after the Pittsburgh convention, when Jeremiah had fallen asleep in his sister's arms.... I could see your concern over him. I'm so grateful that you followed your 'mother's heart' and realized that something more than 'just a bug' was happening. God gave you that insight and the heart to see that more needed to be done. I thank God for the caring and attentive hospital staff in Pottstown for realizing so quickly what needed to be done, and for all the staff and physicians at CHOP who are involved in Jeremiah's care. I'm so grateful for all of those who have gone into the medical field, so that they can be God's instruments in helping bring about healing.

I was really touched by your stories of simply kindness and sharing going on with the other families of children with cancer-- you are able to offer one another the support born of really truly *knowing* what each other is going through. I'm sure your strength and faith has been a new pillar of hope to so many of the families that you've touched during your stay.

I was also so touched to hear that your 12-year-old daughter is staying with you-- I feel this is probably the most important 'education' she's ever received in her life.... learning what you do when faced with these extremely challenging life situations, and how one finds the strength to keep caring and giving and hoping and living and even seeing the blessings in even these difficulties-- she's learning to see God's hand in a whole new way. I hope she has ample books to read to help her during the slow times of the day, and that she's also been able to be a comfort to some of the other children staying in the floor. If she had been in 'regular' school she never would have been able to do this.

I also offer my heartfelt gratitude to all the rest of your family for carrying on with life and all that the busy spring season entails for your family. I know they probably all wish they could be with you and Jeremiah fulltime, but realize that they are needed to keep on going with the daily work that still needs to be done.

I'm grateful to hear of all the wonderful support and daily help you've had, including wonderful home-cooked meals-- none of us realize how very important these simple things are until we are in such need.

My heart and prayers are with you all, and we hope for God's presence to wrap you in His wings in comfort and peace as you face all the weeks ahead.

With love,
Susan

To all the Queens: We've gotten all our MUS materials (and advice!) from you, and got to meet you at your church awhile back when you had a speaker from AIG there. We've been praying for you since Sue Means let us know about Jeremiah, and we'll be checking back here to stay updated. You're all in our prayers -- Jeremiah to be sure, but Sandi and Haley too, and the rest at home without Sandi!

Dear Keith, Sandi, Kiley, Casey, Haley, Evan, Luke, and Jeremiah,

It saddens me to have to write to you under these circumstances, and my heart breaks for all of you. Uncle Jerry and Aunt Margie have been keeping us informed on Jeremiah's progress and reading your journal allows us to pray for specifics. Sandi, if there is anything we can do to help you and your family, please let me know. You can use us if you need a place to stay or whatever. We would be happy to have the children over and help in any way. Rest assured we are lifting Jeremiah to our Lord like the persistant widow in Luke 18, we will keep knocking and asking on his behalf. We share Jeremiah's story with everyone we can. Know with confidence that he is being prayed for from Texas(David and Johanna), to Tennessee (Julie and Brian), to Maine (Pastor Bob and Doris Hallquist), and other places. Please post on your journal things that Jeremiah likes and enjoys; books, tapes, toys, etc. We would like to send him something special. We love you and will be in touch again.
Love,
Joe, Cindy, Joey, Danny, and Tommy McClelland

My heart aches for your family as I learn of Jeremiah's battle with cancer, but my heart also knows that God hears our prayers. I want you to know I will be praying to our beloved Pope John Paul II, Padre Pio, and Saint Therese asking for their prayers of intercession for your little guy. I will be carrying all of you in my heart and will stay in touch with your web-site for news on Jeremiah. God's blessings on you all.

Hello,
I am a homeschooling mom in MD. I have been praying for little Jeremiah constantly since I read your story yesterday. I have a three-year-old little guy and my heart just aches for what you all must be going through.
I keep asking Jesus to stay very close to your son and that Jeremiah's Angel keeps him in his arms and protects him. I know that Our Lord hears every prayer and He loves your little guy so perfectly.
I am forwarding Jeremiah's page to all of my family and friends on the west coast.

God Bless you all,

Jennifer

Dear Queens,
I just found this link. What a blessing--I've been wanting updates so badly. Jeremiah and your family have continuously been on my heart since I first heard the news. We have a 3-year old Jeremiah who has a precious relationship with his 12-year old sister--God has used these similarities in our families to particularly prick my heart. I was so sorry I didn't get to see you at ORCHID! Our prayers for healing and for God's peace are with you.

Sandi, We feel your pain, we pray for God's will in all of this. It's hard to realize but He knew why you are in Philadelphia, He feels your pain also, and Only He can help all of you. God hasn't failed US yet, just keep looking to Him and He WILL see you through all this. When our son David was taken, nothing made any sense, but we had to believe that God works through all of us. We can all pray and we do, without ceasing. You've been so kind to us and we love you dearly. (Thanks to you and your kids, we have a suitable e-mail address.)

Miss all of you.

Sandi and Family,

A few weeks ago, I got your catalog and decided that you were my new favorite vendor. I was looking forward to meeting you in Worcester for MASSHOPE. Then when I heard about Jeremiah, my heart just broke in two. I have a 3 year old little boy too, please tell Jeremiah that Corbin is praying for him. I will speak to your family at MASSHOPE and I'm planning on sending a BIG order your way in July.

I've read all your updates and appreciate being able to share this info. with others in the home school community that are asking, I just tell them to keep praying. May God strengthen you for this time! We are getting a few more pictures from the children together to send to add to your collection, I remember a few years back you being so kind as to send us a package when our daughter was going through whooping cough.

Hi Sandi,
I just came to your website to purchase a few things and am overcome with tears as I read your story. I'm a nurse by profession and worked for a while on the Oncology floor at our children's hospital. I've since been home, homeschooling our 4 children. Your journal brings back many memories. It is interesting that this is the ONE floor of the hospital where people will openly talk about and seek the Lord, even in their confusion and pain. My heart is just broken for you as a mother. I pray for God to sustain you and your family. I pray that God will bless you with His Peace that passes all understanding while you are under His Providence in this way. I pray that Jeremiah will find healing under the Wings you've found refuge. May the Lord be glorified through all things and may the Lord make your family a token of His grace.

While words can not take the pain and the anguish away for your family or Jeremiah please, know that many prayers and thoughts are with all of you from our family and from others of whom I have shared your crisis.
While He may seem far away at this time, please remember God is with you, He loves Jeremiah and HE IS GOOD!

I left a message on your machine at home today (Wed. 4/27) and it looks good for Keith and kids to park and hook up at the church on Saturday night. If there are any changes I will let tou know. We are praying for you all. Also, if they want to stay with us there is plenty of room and they are more than welcome. It would be good for keith to call so I could make arrangements to meet him when he arrives. It is encouraging that Jeremiah is making progress with the staff at the hospital.

With Love in Christ,

Hi Sandi,
I'm a homeschool mom and a mom of a 10 year old survivor of pre-B ALL. I wish we did not have that in common. Please know that you are in my prayers. Be certain to keep your eyes wide open for the blessings and for the wonderful people that the Lord puts in your path.

I'm in Illinois, but I do remember that a female doctor transferred to Philadelphia Children's from Children's in Chicago. She had the best attitude and I was sad when she left. (It was over five years ago so I don't remember her name).

Blessings to you.
