One year ago TODAY.... One year ago today, our son, Evan walked into our house and the words he spoke completely turned our world upside down. The Dr called, I have Leukemia. As I type this, I can recall so clearly the feeling of complete shock, fear, confusion and devastation that took over every part of me. The feeling of wanting and needing to breathe so badly but just couldnt seem to catch my breath. Feeling weak and vulnerable as any mother would but wanting to be strong and positive for Evan and Amanda. That was the worst, scariest day of our lives. Over the next many months, our family watched as Evans body was wrecked by back to back rounds of chemotherapy. We watched his body and spirit be nearly crushed by the overload of medicines and side effects. This was by far the most helpless feeling any of us had ever experienced. THEN... it was time for the transplant. Its so hard to imagine that the procedure that would ultimately save your life would take you so near to death first. The chemo experience had been a walk in the park compared to what his body went through adjusting to someone elses stem cell taking over his body. But TODAY.... exactly one year after being diagnosed, God has replaced that fear and confusion with joy and celebration. Today, Evan is CANCER FREE! And a couple of weeks ago we found out the Donors stem cell that he received through a transplant in February has 100% taken over his body! There are absolutely no words to describe all that God has done in his life, in Amandas life, in all of our lives. We can look back and see where God was in every single step of this journey. TODAY.... We rejoice at the faithfulness of our God. He is so good!!
