Blessings

Chemo in the morning in Santa Barbara, and my little sister and grandparents are coming along with my parents and me. No marrow biopsy's tomorrow, just chemo and my family is getting their blood drawn to be tested for the Monosomy seven gene and to see if their bone marrow matches mine. Emma is excited to join my journey tomorrow and has been kind enough to allow the doctors to draw her blood to try and help me. Now not too many six year old sister's would do that, and she fully understands the circumstances of everything that goes along with this. As I write, I am sitting by the pool eating ice cream listening to my favorite music relaxing with a nice breeze and the warm sun on my back being with family. Now that is one pretty darn good way to spend summer days, it is unbelievable how great the timing was of the purchase of our new home considering everything. God really gave my family and me so many blessings, it is remarkable and hard to comprehend.

  1. Hi Cuteness,
    I know how anxious everyone is to get your results from tomorrows testing. It has been heavy on my mind, I continue to pray and pray and pray. I had such a good time last night with our family. I have always been thankful for our close family but even more so now. Of course you know how amazing you are and that I love you but there it is again...

  2. So, if they have the gene they can be potential donors? Emma is so sweet, but that comes from having sweet, sweet sisters as examples. =)

  8. Dear Village Idiot,

    I love you so much Noel. Reading this makes me wish we could've taken you and Rilah to the lake this summer! We went with Carly, and let's just say your best friend Riley is a dork :) Everytime i hear that annoying little cherry song it makes me thing of you and Riley on the bus. Volleyball is going to be so different with you you there!<3 But I have set a goal for us: to win league, for you. I can't wait until I'll be able to see you! (whenever that is! :p) I miss you and you're in my prayers every night (yes, I am praying now) Everything you are doing and saying so postively is so inspiring and I love you so much!<33333333

    Love, Nico (:
