Frothy
Oh my, where do I begin? So I truly cherish the ability to quickly give updates via social media and ask for specific prayer requests and the immediate response from it that’s so incredibly important. Buuuut that being said, this entire journey really is so much bigger/ deeper than that. And it’s an ever changing…

Deception Island – it’s a place
I’ll be honest. I’ve been really down since arriving home from the hospital. I often feel lonely. I’m surrounded by wonderful helpful amazing family and giving people, but I still feel so alone somedays. I hate that most of my conversations are about cancer. Ugh. It’s hard bc people Just CARE.. and I get frustrated…

Redefining beautiful
I haven’t blogged much because well, that takes time and time is fleeting. Every day requires so much of me, mentally, physically, emotionally that even if I do have time, I choose sleep. 😜 But there’s one thing weighing on my heart tonight that I felt like I need to write about. It’s super raw…

Clarity !! 💜
Paul and I have each taken a learn, research and understand everything approach to Carson’s diagnosis. We’ve amassed an immense amount of knowledge and have found the more we know the better equipped we are with questions. But neither of us like to operate under “inside the box” constraints. It leaves us somewhat frustrated with…

Our 3rd round of chemo got off to a bumpy start. We thought we were supposed to go in for a PET on the 19th and then be admitted that same day for treatment. To my dismay, I got a call on the 18th from our head oncologist asking why our PET scan had been…

Tests into Testimonies
Stem cell collection. Quite the Frankenstein like procedure. This machine quite literally takes your blood OUT of your body, collects your cells and puts the blood BACK in your body. It’s quite terrifying for me to look at, can you imagine how a 3 year old might feel? Yep, well she felt it. Not to…

Round 2
Round two of chemotherapy went much more smoothly. Everyone on the oncology floor is more familiar with us and vice versa so it seemed to flow a little better. They let us do her vitals, so they just left a machine in our room. We would take it every four hours and write it on…

A PARADE!! Carson’s Crew Gave us a Parade
I’m in absolute shock and awe. The parade organized and given to us today for Carson was incredible!!! She LOVED IT and said, “I love this, I want them all to stay!” Ya’ll, I just don’t even have the right words to express our gratitude right now. It’s been an hour and I’m still crying.…

Soaking up the Time
I’ve taken some time off from updating because I’m trying to soak up all the time we have at home. And sleep!! I didn’t realize how dang tired we really were until we got home. It’s like all the adrenaline and fumes we had been running on finally exhausted themselves and all we’ve wanted to…
