A Merry Christmas

By -
Charlotte woke up to a beautiful Christmas morning with her daddy. She has improved so much, they took her off oxygen today! What a gift!

We have more gifts from God then we can count at the moment. One of the biggest gifts are Brian's mom and step father, Schuey and Neal, who have devoted themselves to our family this year and without them...We don't know what this journey would have looked like up to this point. And this Christmas, they selflessly helped with many of the details so we could provide our children with some normalcy at Christmas. Even yesterday, since Charlotte has improved so much, they came to sit with her so Brian and I could take Taylor and Parker to the Childrens service at our church, and enjoy dinner together at home. We even squeezed in a little present time last night before Brian came to stay with Charlotte. And although we woke up in separate places, apart from each other Christmas Day, the JOY was stronger then ever. Charlotte is doing it. Our family is doing it. And later this afternoon, after enjoying Christmas morning at home opening some gifts and playing, I brought Taylor and Parker with me to Duke to switch off with Brian and have some time all together. They played, we opened a few more gifts together, and we felt the biggest gift of all surrounding us. This life. This amazing, uncertain, passion filled, joyful, and beautiful life. Thank you God. Thank you Jesus. And we are sending our wishes for each of you to have a very Merry Christmas full of joy and peace and love.

A moment all together on this Christmas

Christmas Eve morning Charlotte got to visit in her room with Santa. And she liked him!

My friends Jaime and Esther came by to visit Christmas Eve morning and got to be here for this special moment. Thanks for the pictures and video!

Christmas Day wake up with daddy! And Santa came while she was sleeping!

Duke donors have been beyond generous. Several people and various groups have bought very generously for Charlotte and her siblings. We are so humbled. Here is a sweet picture of Charlotte cherishing her first bible someone put in her stocking❤️

ROUND 2 under way

It was exactly 4 Monday's ago. We left our pediatrician and ended up here at Duke Children's just about this time of day where we were about to receive Charlotte's cancer diagnosis. It was any parents worst nightmare as we came to learn and understand this diagnosis. It feels like 4 months ago. We are still coping and feeling our way, but never in a million years could I imagine being in this "place" that we are today, emotionally and spiritually. We are still coping and going through the grieving stages, but hearing the news today that Charlotte is healthy enough to begin round 2 was great news. A couple weeks ago, hearing that your child needed chemo was gut wrenching but today it is music to our ears. It means Charlotte has recovered from round 1 and is ready to continue to fight and heal while we all cheer her on. Her spunky spirit is back. She had a wonderful, restful weekend home playing with Taylor and Parker and also getting to see some family and a few f...

A fresh start for round 3

You know those weekends that you just don't want to end? The ones you want to freeze in time? It was a simple one and usually not even worth a mention. Because all we did was spend time together playing at home, saw some friends and family, enjoyed each other, just low key fun and quality time. It was just one of those weekends that we all usually take for granted and really WE SHOULD. I mean, as parents, yes, we all try to soak up the sweet moments and memory making times with our children. But we shouldn't have to relish every moment where our children are feeling happiness. We shouldn't have to soak up every day we can all be together. Or embrace each day our child feels healthy enough for normal play. No one should have to live their entire lives living in the sweet moments for fear it could all be pulled out from under them. But we are learning that this is our new reality. That the normalcy we use to take for granted is now precious time because as we travel down this...

Reliving June 13

Today in 2019, was probably the hardest day of my life. You might have thought that would have been the day she was diagnosed or maybe that scary time we had during Charlotte’s transplant, but it was today. We snapped this picture below waiting for Charlotte’s doctors to come into her examination room during her standard check up at Duke. Mere minutes later, we saw more than the normal 4 feet in front of the door (the oncologist and NP that would see her). When the door opened and child life was there—Brian and I instantly knew. Child life had come to distract Charlotte so we could talk to her doctors. The world went into slow motion and I don’t know how I didn’t hit the floor if I’m honest. Brian’s face instantly drained of color. We knew immediately her scans had shown her disease, her cancer, had returned.  After all she had been through, all we had seen, all we had survived as a family…this day drained the hope out of me and I can still have a visceral response remembering it. ...
