Welcome Friends and Family


I do want to start by saying thank you! I know your support and prayers have given me the strength I need. We are all very grateful to have so many people praying for us everyday! I know at first everyone was calling and wanting to know what happened? The problem was we still didn't understand what had happened. It all happened so fast. So...I do apologize for not communicating but, it was very difficult for me. It seemed the only time I knew what was going on was when I was explaining it to someone and it was like the nightmare kept repeating over and over as I would explain it. Then we began to have many people ask us what we needed. The problem with that was we did not know what we needed. I know my answer usually was prayers and that is something we can always use. I tried to email friends but, even that was hard. For those of you that know me I am blind without my glasses, and crying plus typing at the same time is practically impossible. So I hope this page can keep everyone stay informed and updated. Thank you for all your support, prayers, cards, and gifts. Soren was very happy with all his new fun toys, this really helps him stay busy playing all day. It is very comforting knowing that so many people are there for us!

BACK ON TRACK!

Hello, we are happy to inform you all that Soren is back on track. His counts went back up to 1150 from 150 that is so good. Of course they could always be higher at one point they were 5000 (just to give you an idea of how they fluctuate). We are so happy because it has been about three weeks with low counts and that means no Chemo. His infection did set him back so we are very excited that he can begin his chemo and continue on in his consolidation phase of chemo. He was feeling much better he had a good day at the clinic he let his favorite nurse Kim access his port like a big boy! This is another blessing as well. It usually takes all three of us to hold him down. I wasn't able to go to the clinic today because I had to work but, Soren called me and was very proud of himself that he didn't cry. So that made my day. So now that he is back on track he is able to move along and finish this phase of his chemo which should last about a month. A special thanks to all who are praying for him please continue to pray for him as he is still being treated with intense chemo.
