Isaiah 53:5
"He was pierced for our transgressions,
He was crushed for our iniquities;
the punishment that brought us peace was upon Him,
and by His wounds we are healed."

John 10:10 "The thief does not come except to steal, and to kill, and to destroy. I have come that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly."

James 5:14&15 "Is anyone among you sick? Let him call for the elders of the church, and let them pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord. And the prayer of faith will save the sick, and the Lord will raise him up."

Wow, it has been almost 8 years since we have updated this page! Thankfully, all is well medically for the boys, so there isn't much to report. Because of the distance to Duke, we have been going for the post BMT checkups here in WI. All the tests continue to show a strong immune function and full engraftment. :) Thomas is a senior in high school and is excited about going to college next fall for Game Art and Design. Nathan has an audio engineering degree and lives in Chicago, working many jobs, both freelance and commercial. Kaitlyn is married and teaches kindergarten in the Chicago suburbs. We downsized to a nearby lakeside cottage over a year ago and have enjoyed the views, wild life, kayaking and snowmobiling activities. :) Soon we'll be celebrating 13 years since the BMTs! Because the boys have been healthy for so long now, it is sometimes surreal looking back over our medical journey...but we will never forget God's faithfulness and people's kindness.

With grateful hearts,
Matt & Lisa
