We will take it! Blessing and success come in many forms❤️

After a long day, we are home with good news but also new information we will pray on. First of all, Charlotte’s scan results are overall GOOD with no evidence of Neuroblastoma! We feel so blessed and will celebrate that! Her CT did have a new finding of an area to watch on her lower sacrum (spine/tailbone) in which at this time can neither be called a tumor nor ruled out. This spot in her bone could be damage from radiation, sclerosis, etc and may not be disease at all. Our doctors at Duke are not concerned at this time and this area will be looked at further in March when she has her next scheduled scans. We will pray that once Sloan Kettering reviews all of these scans, they feel the same way and do not feel the need to investigate this spot via biopsy. In addition, Charlotte has moderate to severe high frequency hearing loss which is not a surprise to us as we understand this to be a common side effect from all the chemotherapy. We have decided to reassess with Duke Audiology at her next clinic check up in March and see what level of support she will need but it appears a hearing aide is in our girls future. We know her little body has been through so much as it has and still is fighting this disease so the changes we will witness through scans and evaluations over the years will reflect all of that at times. So our prayers will be that the questionable spot in her bone in her spine is a reflection of something else and not metastatic disease and that Sloan will agree with Duke. Thank you for continuing to pray for our baby girl! We are in such a scary window of watching her but we feel so hopeful and blessed every single day.

I have included a picture below (ugh won’t post so I’ll try again later) of a little rainbow that appeared when I went to select my gear as we headed to Duke this morning! When I feel my heart beating outside of my chest in anxiety and the sick feeling in my stomach from worry, God often appears in those moments and unexplainable calming peace arrive. I can not explain it any other way as the moments often surpass the logic around us. So, we will keep following the rainbows as we continue this journey of complete healing for our Charlotte. And this year will be the Merriest Christmas of our lives so far. God bless you all and thank you for taking your time to care for our family

ROUND 2 under way

By -

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

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. Of c

Getting some sleep and planning on a wagon ride!

Good morning! They think we might get to a room later today! Steps closer to coming home! Her X-ray showed improvement with lung fluids. Still fighting a fever and needs oxygen. Finally got put back in solids and ate some bites of spaghetti last night. We both slept better last night too. We didn't get out yesterday so maybe today. We have a wagon and are hoping to take her for a ride maybe even to see the helicopter on the roof:) Got a little kick in the gut with some news specifically regarding her tumor genetics. I was really down and having a hard time last night. But woke to a new day. And Brian has a contact in Cincinnati who put him into contact with a leading researcher for high risk NB and after talking with him we feel better about not just our current plan here at Duke but also about all the new research that hasn't even been published yet which has MUCH better prognosis outcomes for someone like Charlotte. I really needed to hear that and the timing of this doctor
