I was diagnosed with Stage 4 Neuroblastoma at 22 months of age. I had 5 rounds of regular dose chemotherapy, 1 round of mega dose chemotherapy followed by an autologus stem cell transplant(I got my own stem cells back). Spent a week in ICU. Followed by another round of mega dose chemotherapy and another autologus stem cell transplant. It has been 5 years since my second transplant and by the Grace of God I am in REMISSION. Mom says God allowed me to go through all of this to get some very important work done in the life of our family and our church.



Walk With Me
Take my hand hold it tight
and walk this path with me
I am too afraid to venture alone
and the end of the road cannot see

I have traveled this way far too long
and it has not been a pleasent trip
At times I am scared, tired and lost
too weak and I stumble and slip

A tender touch a loving hug
might be all the help I need
A gentle nudge full of love
will help me to succeed

Life's path is long with pitfalls
we sometimes loose our way
When we are wandering aimlessly
there's no difference from night or day

A little ray of sunshine
to lighten a troubled heart
His hand upon my shoulder
as life's journeys I embark

The narrow road has widened
the end is now so clear
With Jesus as my partner
no longer do I fear

Weston is doing very well. He is in remission going on 5 yrs. Still not saying cured just in remission. We are happy with that.

Weston is doing great in school. All A's on his report card and not having any major discipline issues at school.

Over labor day weekend Weston broke his right femur bone and had 2 rods placed. His femur is healed and the doctor will be removing the March 9, 2010. We have to be at Children's at 6am been a while since we had to do that.

Weston will turn 8 yrs old on March 12, 2010. He is excited because he gets to have a Chuck E Cheese party and an Alvin & the Chipmunks cake. Plus, he gets to hang out with all of his friends.

If you still check on him and pray for him. Thank you so much. I will update with some new pictures as soon as I figure out how to get them on my new computer.
