I haven't signed here for a very, very long time. But, you guys have a special place in my heart because you are a "Duke" family. I saw you and walked with you at the Rainbow of Heroes Walk. Garrett looks wonderful and it's so awesome to see the success stories with all the sadness that goes on. I will continue to pray for the Lord to keep His healing hands on Garrett and the rest of your family. Blessings to you. Thank you for visiting and signing my page too--it meant a lot to me when you did. I wanted you to know.

Hi! I have read a good portion of your journal. My 2 year old son, Taylor, is day +10 after an auot. stemcell rescue. He was dx stage 4 neuroblastoma on 10/10/02. It was very helpful to read through your transplant days. Our counts are slowly coming up, I sure hope we do as well as your precious son. God bless you all.

Hi! Ya'll,
Glad to hear everyone is doing well. We are very mindful
of "PaPa" Mr. Frank Drew. He is by far one person who you
can go to for the right advice ( even if you don't agree with what he tells you, however He's right more often than not)He has such a great sense of humor. And knows more about
movies and history than anyone I've had the honor to meet.
Although for the ones that have'nt gotten to know him I suggest you take the time and do so. Your life shall be greatly enriched. We love you Mr.and Mrs.Drew and pray for your return back home to Rains, S.C.

Happy New Birthday Garrett!!! It is hard to believe that a year has already gone by since we met you and your wonderful parents. We can still see you peeking in Ryan's window and blowing him kisses. We are sure those kisses helped Ryan do so well. We also can still hear your snorting sounds you made as you walked up and down the hallway. Of course, I think there was a lot of basketball talk being heard as well. It is so nice to see how wonderful you are doing,Garret. You are such a special little boy as well as a lucky little boy to have such super parents. We want to wish you and your parents a Blessed Thanksgiving!! We will keep your grandfather in our prayers as well. God BLess

Garrett, Melissa, and Thomas-
Thank you so much for thinking of our little Cam during (and now after) transplant! You all are the sweetest family and we want you all to know how happy we ran into you all and little Garrett on our first trip to Duke way back in March . . . I always feel like you all were sent by angels to bring us hope when we were unsure of everything in the beginning and you always have a way of uplifting my heart. We are always so happy to hear of Garrett's good health and are so glad that darn virus wasn't too bad. We only wish we all lived closer so we could get together. Keep up the good work, Garrett! Cam sends a great big high five! We send tons of love as always!
Love, Michelle, Erik, and Cam

Hi Everyone,
It must be very nice having visitors. Katie too gets tired of playing with just us. I am glad that Tommy has a good class that certainly makes leaving for school every morning a lot easier. The pictures are super, we can't believe how big he is getting. He is turning into quite the young man. We think about you always and you are all in our prayers. Ryan currently is suffering another setback but we know with the help of God, he will too get over this. Lots of love! Give Garrett a huge hug from Ryan!!

Dear Melissa, Tommy, and Garrett,
Thank you, Melissa, for talking with me on the phone. I was able to find the website! If I had not seen the little foster child and her foster Mom from Aynor- I would not have known. God works in mysterious and challenging ways. I must say that it is not hard to tell that Garrett is Tommy's son! I guess you guys will be doing what I will be doing tonight.....Go TIGERS!!!! BEAT GEORGIA!!!! I will keep you all in my thoughts and prayers as God will be a very "present" help during these times. May you each take care of one another, and I wish the best and I am sure you will continue to blessed!!!

Hi Garrett Tommy and Melissa:
My cousin Faye Joye let me know that Garrett is having to undergo more testing. Just wanted to let ya'll know that I am praying and thanking God for remaining faithful to you and keeping all of you in His glorious care. I hope that the next journal entry will be great news that the neuroblastoma is not back and what they have seen is benign. Tommy, thanks for doing Mama's taxes in April and I enjoyed our talk. Your faith is a wonderful testimony. This is a good website. Mama had a page when she was recovering from her amputation and she received so many encouraging notes as Garrett has. I will add Garrett's name to our prayer list at church(New Hope Christian Fellowship in West Columia, SC)

We had our Relay for Life this past weekend and Garrett was very well represented. In my Rainbow of Hope, I showed everyone Garrett's picture asking them to say special prayers that all the upcoming tests come out ok. Garrett's luminaries lit bright all night and every time I walked by them, I asked God to hold you guys real tight.

Between my 2 teams, we raised almost $8,000.00 !!!! For the entire relay, we raised an unofficial $314,000. Not bad for a tiny mountain community nestled in the Blue Ridge. I pray that one of those dollars can find a cure.

Dear Drew Family,
My name is Lauren McQueen- I met you briefly this past winter during your time at Duke as I was Cassie's best buddy. I check your website often to see how your family is doing. I want you to know that your family is consistently in my prayers and thoughts. I wanted to tell you a couple of things- first, it is families like yours that help to further strenghten my faith and relationship with God. I want to thank you for that. Someday Garrett will be able to fully understand how blessed he truly is to have parents like you. I can only hope and pray that someday I will be able to love and care for my children in the way you so obviously do for Garrett, and raise a family with the strength of faith in God as you have. Thank you for being an inspiration. I fully trust that our Lord will take good care of Garrett- you all will continue to be in my prayers.
With love,
Lauren McQueen

I hope all the loyal readers of Garrett's journal remember Tommy on that day! It's a special day as my beautiful Julie will be 15 that same day.

Garrett - Glad to hear you enjoyed your trip! Flying is fun isn't it?! I remember Sam and Matt's first flight - it was to a big family reunion in New Hampshire and the kids were so thrilled and the plane trip was so horrible with delays and an extra overnight stay delayed from weather and the kids up till 1AM and they were so excited from it all it made it one great big adventure for them rather than our adult view of a hassle! We're so glad you're first flight went well!
Tommy and Melissa - we hope you guys are there on Monday next week so we can see you there.

Hi,
The new pictures are great. It is so nice to put faces to names. Thanks so much. Hope Melissa had a wonderful Mother's Day. We enjoyed ourselves here in Connecticut only it poured. But, we are thankful to God for that also as we are way below normal. Prayers are going up every day for precious Garrett.

God Bless

Oops - I forgot to add - Matt's favorite color lately has been orange. He lives (and sleeps in) an obnoxious orange ball cap and wants me to keep washing one of his 3 orange t-shirts since that's all he'll wear. Think he's heading for a college life at UT? or where else do they have that obnoxious orange? hmmmmm? Check out the orange picture of Matt on Sam's website and you'll see what I mean!

I will bet you cannot wait to get that central line out. It wasn't easy in that heat Saturday, but I ran a race at Duke in Garrett's honor called Angels Among Us. I had a big sign on my back with your little man's picture. Lots of people asked about him. I heard they raised a LOT of money for cancer research. One day all these kids will never have to go through all this.

Hey Garrett!
What great results! You are doing so well, must be all the love from your mommy and daddy and all the great support from family and friends, and also all those prayers! My daddy and I loved seeing you and just wish we could of hung out a little bit longer...Maybe I'll talk to my Dad about getting you a really nice blue shirt like I had on, I think it would look much nicer on you than anything orangey/red with a big paw on it. Ask your dad what he thinks! Thanks for all your positive upbeat attitude and tremoundous faith, it really rubs off on us!

Hi,

The new pictures are great. The one with the shoes made me chuckle as it brought back memories of long ago when my daughter used to love to put her Dad's shoes on (size 11). You can just imagine how she trotted around in those gunboats. You are such an inspiration to all of us.

Just thrilled for all the good reports. Our thoughts and prayers are going South for all those precious children. God continue to bless you.

I am so very happy that Garrett is ready for his 100-day tests. I pray that they will all come out gr-r-r-reat. Garrett has awesome taste - all my favorites - pineapple, cheetos and blueberry muffins. Next comes the pizza, followed by chocolate ice cream ! Take care.

It was so nice to see you Tommy, Bill was sorry that he missed you. I hope to see Melissa and Garrett someday as well. Maybe at clinic one of these days! I was so happy to read how well Garrett's tests went. He is such an inspiration to us all. You are all such a wonderful family!!You are doing a fabulous job taking care of him. Thank you for all of your optimistic messages for Ryan. It means so much to us to know how much you care about our son. Our two little boys are very special and God definitely has plans for them both. We will pray that Garrett's future tests come back good and that his cancer is in remission!!!! Give Garrett a big kiss and hug from us!!! I can hear his little snort right now. Sorry, Tommy, I know you tried to give us a snort when you came to visit but only Garrett can give them the best!!!!!God Bless you all

You know Melissa, it must have been faith that I just happen to bring some silly string with me to KY because when I left the house I had no idea Tommy was coming. It just seemed to easy of an opportunity to turn down. Don't worry though, we were able to capture the silly string attack on film again for the second time. Hehe I will email you copies when we get them back. Since Anthony always regretted not getting up to witness the first attack when you guys were on 5200, we couldn't let this chance pass us by. I am so glad that Tommy is such a good sport. You guys are a wonderful family!

Hi Everyone,
It was so good to see you this past weekend. It is always a highlight to our day when we are able to see you. It is definitely a lot less now that you are home during the week. But you are never far from our hearts! Our little men have such a unique bond that will never be broken!How wonderful it must be to be home and living a fairly normal life. Katie too doesn't try anything that looks a different color. My dad always said that she only eats by color!!! One definitely has to keep creative when it comes to meds. I am so happy to hear that he continues to eat well. As you described Pete and Re Pete, I could a see a vivid picture of the two of them sitting there side by side rooting for the game!!!We hope to be discharged either Wednesday or Thurday so hopefully we can see you at clinic an Friday. We will also keep your father in our prayers and pray that God blesses your family with good news. God Bless

Dear Melissa, Tommy, Garrett,
It is good to know that you guys can be back at home in the Pee Dee area. How is the little one doing? I looked at his pictures in the album. He's getting to be a big little boy. He's so cute. I hope hee can get alot better so that he won't have to be sick all of his life. I
came home today from the hospital because of my siezures so
I am really doing a little bit better. I didn't get to go to school all week long. I hope that he gets better because I don't want to have my spells all of my life. It hurts when you have seizures and sometimes I can't remember
somethings at times when I have them. Tell Garrett that I hope that he gets better. I think that his two pictures in the album with him eating the cookie and him with the clemson jersey on are two cute pictures. He's really looking great. Tell him I said hey. Maybe one day he will go to clemson and he will play basketball or football and he will be the quarterback or the starter.

It is so good to hear that Garrett is continuining to do well. It is great that he is gaining weight. He needs all the strength he can get if he should pick up a "bug', which I hope he does not. Hope he will soon be able to come home for good. My prayers and thoughts are with you and the doctors. Lynne's mother has gotten along well with surgery also. You have probably seen them. Look forward to seeing you soon.

Just to let you know we got even! We toilet papered his room while he was asleep and wrote the word "done" on his forehead in permanent magic marker so he wouldn't forget his visit!!!HAHAHA Thanks for allowing me to be a part of your lives.

It is so nice to hear that so many prayers have been answered for your family. It definately shows us along with others who's really in charge. I cannot image the impact that you have had on the people you have met. You will probably never know how many hearts you have touched and what a great a great witness you have been for our Lord. It is evident that all three of you trust Him fully and that is a blessing in itself. Continue to be strong Garrett!

Keep the faith. Love you all

Hello Thomas, Melissa, and Garrett! It's great to hear that things are still improving. We are glad to hear that Garrett's WBC is increasing. Myron and I continue to remember all three of you, the doctors, and the nurses daily in our prayers. We will also remember Garrett's friends that need God's healing hand upon them. Thomas, we miss you so much at school but I'm glad that things are going to work out for you! GOD WILL TAKE CARE OF US IF WE PUT OUR TRUST IN HIM! Myron and I wanted to wish you a BLESSED Christmas. We saw Santa and told him that Garrett had been an exceptionally brave and good boy this year! We love you! Your Tiger friends from Conway

Garrett buddy - we missed seeing you today! I kept looking at the cat and imagining your little "Mow" and wishing you were there. We must have passed each other somehow. Hopefully we'll catch you tomorrow. Have a good night and tell your mommy and daddy that when Sam is playing with the manger scene - she's even naming one of the characters Tommy! We met a little boy today who was in the fsh tank room and he also has what you did and he was there to start the process for giving his own cells. He seemed like he was a little younger than you but you guys could get to be buddies one day - you never know!

I hope you know how much you have touched my life. Your family is so strong and God has blessed them all with the wonderful gift of you. I hope to one day meet you without your mask so I can see that big smile. Tell your Mommy & Daddy that they have been just great to my sister Nancy and Ken and Samantha. You all share a special bond that no one else can really understand. Have a joyous holiday season. I am headed to Durham to visit Sam and Matt for Christmas. Oh, one day when you are all better, you are invited to my house to go sledding with Sam and Matt (and me of course).

Folks, it is great pleasure that we say Thank You, Lord, for being so near to all of you. We also thank Him for sending His son at this Christmas Season! We should never forget, without Him we would have no reason for the season. Always put Christ first, then the other things will fall into place. He has promised us that He will never forsake us nor leave us- We sometimes stray from Him, huh? We must be careful to give Him all the honor & Glory! Garrett, we are soooo thankful and we love you dearly!!! Please hurry home cause about time for Santa! We can celebrate the new Christmas if we need too; okay? You are worth it all!!! Love you all- MaMa & PaPa

Hey Garrett and gang- I dread going back to work on Monday because the halls are going to be so quiet and dull. Cassie and I will have to cause our own trouble without Garrett around to help. Think Cassie will sit in my lap and help me chart? I am so glad that Garrett is doing so well. His spirit was the best medicine for us all on 5200. It is amazing the impact that such a small child (and his parents) can have on people. I wish you all the best of luck. You better come back and visit us! You will remain in my prayers. :)

Let me tell you...it is really strange on 5200 tonight (and really quiet). I miss you guys already, but am thrilled that Garrett was able to leave so soon! He is the cutest, sweetest boy in the world and I miss him already. I wish I could have been there today to throw confetti, but I guess Amy and I got to celebrate in our own way at 6am, huh? Tommy, I hope you are not mad anymore! You guys made the biggest impact on this unit in the shortest amount of time. I feel extremely blessed to have been able to know all of you. You have taught me a lot about life from your short stay here. OK...enough mushy stuff! I can't wait to come visit you! Please let me know if there is anything you need! Love you guys!

Hi to Little Garrett and Family,

I am Pam's mom, Ryan's grandma and I took a picture of Garrett when I visited Ryan. He is sooo cute. I'm so happy for you all that Garrett is doing so well. I show everyone Garrett's picture along with Ryan's and we are all praying for him. I wanted to write sooner but had the address wrong and finally got the correct one from Bill.
Now I can check on Garrett and Ryan every morning. We feel so fortunate that God is listening to our prayers and taking care of these little guys who have gone through so much.

Garrett, Mommie & Daddy!!!! We love each of you very much. We were estatic when we saw your WBC was 1.3 today. All I can say is- God is soooo good!!! If we would return only a small portion of that goodness to Him!! We only need the faith the size of a mustard seed to remove mountains!! So often we do not keep that faith. God says in His word that He will never leave or forsake us- We stray from Him!!! It is my hope that everyone who reads this will always keep these thoughts in their heart!!! Garrett, when you grow up, you'll understand a little better. For now, just trust in what Mommie & Daddy tell you- They love you so much & so does everyone! Be a good boy so Santa will come back to see you Dec. 24th. May God's richest blessings continue to be upon You! Our Prayer is GROW CELLS GROW!!!! WE LOVE YOU, MAMA & PAPA

Thomas, Melissa, and Garrett,
I just found out about your web page and I signed the guestbook the first time before I had checked out everything that you have on it. I really enjoyed reading your journal entries and finding out about Garrett's progress. I just returned to school last Monday and emailed you at school to tell you how much I appreciated the gift that you sent me when Rilee was born. I really appreciated you thinking of me during such a special time. I finally asked Anna if you were at school because I had not received anything saying that you had checked my message and she told me about the things that were now going on with Garrett and today she sent me the web page address. The stem cells are absolutely a miracle. When Rilee was born we collected the core blood and they are now preserved in a stem cell bank. I am so glad that things are improving with Garrett. I know that it has been an up hill struggle but with faith, prayers, and patience anything is possible. I just wanted you and your family to know that I am thinking of you and that you are in my thoughts and prayers. Give Garrett a little kiss on the forehead for me and tell him that another prayer has been said for him today.
Love,
Heather and family

Good Morning Garrett,
I hope you sleep good for (esp.) your Moma. She is kinda like me. She needs her sleep. I went and road horses yesterday. God's presents was all around me. It will not be too much longer now before you can go and ride with me. I would love to have 2 little boys rideing with me. (you and Frank) I love you and I am proud of your cell growth. Ask the Dr. to check it again. I bet it is even better today.
Be sweet and remember we love all of you......

Hello to all!! I just checked the site b/c I came by today with my sister and everyone was asleep. I wasn't going to wake you up, but thought I would atleast tell you I tried. I hope all had a great weekend. My sister and I shopped til we dropped on Saturday and did a little more today. She leaves in the morning, but my mom will be here on tuesday for business. We got the tree decorated so I'll have to take pictures to show you. I'm working for 4 hours Monday night so I'll see you then. Give the little piggy a kiss for me and I'll see you tomorrow.

YEA Garrett - we knew you'd be growing those cells soon! Yea! We're proud of you... Tonight after you came by and said "Na-Na" to Sam, she said she thinks we could do a play about the baby Jesus and she could be Mary and Garrett could be the baby Jesus and she would sing Away in the Manger to him! I didn't have the heart to tell her that he wouldn't lie still in a manger for more than a minute he's so active! Hmmm - I didn't ask her who Tommy would be - one of the 3 Wise Guys (I mean Wise men) maybe? You guys are doing great - all of you.
We love you!

Garrett, you are one of those blessings. You, your strength, and your family's faith have blessed so many lives during the past months.

We are still praying & will continue to do so. Garrett, I hope to see you on Thursday. Tell Cassie maybe we can see her also. Our prayer is that God will continue to guide the Drs., Staff etc. Those cells can not help but grow with God in command and all that prayer power that has been sent up for you all!

Hey Garrett,
I love seeing you walk by my room everyday, waving and blowing kisses. I wish I could get up and walk with you someday, but I'm still little. My mom and dad tell me what a special little boy you are and how upbeat and happy you always look. I know my parents are praying for you and all the other kids on the floor, GROW CELLS, GROW!!

Maybe, someday when we get older, we can go to a really good school my dad went to. Its called UCONN and they have a really good basketball team!!! Hope to see you soon when you walk by.

Garrett, Mommie & Daddy, I am still dancing the Grow Cells Grow dance. We missed you all a church today. I missed Sunday School because Bradford Gardens called me to Aunt Margaret- Her back was hurt. Garrett, keep a close watch on Cassie! It should not be long before those cells realize who is in control & begin to grow. God is in control & I fully believe He will see that they do grow! Let me know the exciting news when it happens. We miss all of you so much. Your "Tigers" finally had a winning season, Garrett & that's probably 'cause you put on that tiger suit for your picture with Morgan, I think!!!!We love you and will check on you tomorrow. Our prayers are for you & "those cells"; OK?

Garrett and Family,
I met ya when i came to visit my sis' cassie. I am praying for all of you all down there. I really appreciate what you all have done for my family. It is always good to have people to talk and relate to when you are so far away from home. Garrett you are a little ladies man you are going to have to teach me some of the tricks to get the girls. Thank little Garrett for making my sister smile and laugh thats what i do when i am around.. of course till i bug her to much then she yells at me. You have a very loving family and it is nice to see messages from them. Garrett keep taking care of cassie and those silly nurses down there.
Thanks for everything. Grow CELLS Grow !!

Thomas, Melissa, and Garrett,
I have just found out about your Website. Isn't it wonderful what technology can do? What is even more wonderful is what God can do!!! You're in my thoughts and prayers so often and I have great confidence that one day you will stand on the mountain and look down and realize how strong these valleys have made you. I pray that your dark days will lighten very soon. God bless you all! If there is anything I can do (other than pray), please don't hesitate to let me know.
Love you!! Mary
