home

Going home tomorrow......pretty much against dr's orders but we're not sure theres much else to do. We ask the dr's and they say there isn't anything left but wait and we will NOT do that. So we're going to go home and trust in God. We're going to do some holistic medicine, all natural meds. I will completely trust in God and know He will get me through this. God will prevail!! So keep praying please. God is such an awesome God and I know I'll get through this with Him and my family. Blessed be the name of the Lord!!!

Coing home soon.....but not for what you think

Well, we've reached a deadend to my treatment.The last case was pretty rough on me, sending me to the ICU. They're afraid that could happen again only worse. The leukemia came back or stayed around 33%. So, we're planning on going home and fighting thing this ourselvs, tooth and nail. We're going to use herbal methods and so on. We know God is with every step of the way. My sister and I have both seen double rainbows and my mom saw one the day I was diagnosed and again today. God is in contol. Keep praying. Because I am trusting in Him with all my heart. GOD IS GOOD!!!!!

Not giving up

Well, the biopsy still showed signs of leukemia.....not what we were hoping for. But, I know God has a plan and I am going to be healed. We'll find out Monday from the dr what the next step is so keep praying. I know God is healing me in His time. And I will fight this and BEAT this!!! As for the absess on my stomach, dr said it's looking much better and smaller which is good news. So, some good news and some bad news. But, we know God is still healing. So, thank you for the prayers. Keep them coming!!! We will win this!!

I'm getting a biopsy done on Thursday so pray it goes well. Once in remission, we'll do the transplant by the end of the month!! Keep praying!!

Realization's

Mom came back last night. She came after Bri, Logan, Owen and Aunt Julie were here which was awesome. It was so great to see them. Logan was so good while he was here!! I loved seeing the kids. It really brightened my day. It's nice to have mom back though too. At first, I told her she didn't have to be there, I was fine on my own. But, then we started talking and she told me some things that I wasn't aware of. Like the absess on my stomach was now being considered a tumor and the leukimia had come back again which is why I had much stronger chemo in the ICU. I guess I just didn't realize how bad it had gotten. Honestly, she scared me. But, she also reminded me that fear is not of God. So, I put thee behhind thee!! God is still right here, getting me through and He has not left. I am so thankful to still be here and am going to kick this thing in the butt!! We're going to hit remission this time and get the transplant and be cured by the grace of God!!! I have complete faith in my Savior and you should too! Thank you for your continue prayers! Keep them coming!! God is still healing and will heal until I'm cured.

Still here

Sorry it's been so long. When we came to the OSU ER, I ended up going to the ICU, which I didn't expect and kinda don't remember a few days. Apparently they moved me to ICU because the chemo they were going to start was stronger than anything I'd had before so they wanted to keep close eye on me. Well, I can tell you I dont remember a thing. I've been coherent for a few days but its been so hard to get on the computer-due to being confused for a few days, and my finger tips have been hurting because they've been testing my sugar. Fingers still hurt but not confused and able to function better =) I'm now in room 1065 south I believe. There's nothing in here to tell me for sure that's right but I'm 99% sure lol. Feeling much better. Missing my family-Bri and the kids mostly as mom and Rich have been here like the entire time-THANK YOU! So, call or text and come visit. Send stuff. Whatever you want. Getting bored but am going to be here awhile. Once my counts are good, and I'm stable, they'll do a marrow then hopefully I'll be ready for transplant!! So keep ipraying!! God is still working even when I was incohorent lol. God is awesome! =)

Quick update

Just wanted to let you know that they are ggoing to me moving me to the ICU. This will only be sure I stay healthy. This new chemo is very, very strong so they want to sure that I stay could so we can proceed with the transpant. I'm slightly nervous about gong to the ICU, but I know GOD will get through . I'll conitne to stay stong in my faith. God will get me through as He had.=) Keep up though prayers and thoughts. Sorry for the shot blog. I do no feel well. Talk to you all so!!

I can almost see it

The stomach issues are getting better, PTL. The anti-biotics as well we the pain pills seem to be doing there job. So, I'm praying that it will go away. Had the bone marrow biopsy yesterday. Painful as always but I made it through with my mom and God by my side. Today the doctor came in to give us the results and unfortunately, they were not good. The cancer is back. Honestly, all I wanted to do when he told me this news was to grab him by his doctor's coat and shake him as hard as I could and just scream at him. WHY??? WHY ME???? WHAT DID I DO FOR THIS TO COME BACK???? YOU'RE DOCTOR-FIX ME!!!!! But I didn't, I just sat on my bed, silently listening to what he had to say and trying to not look at my mom because I know she was crying and that was something I didn't want to do. So, I start chemo again tomorrow. 5 straight days of even rougher stuff then before. Once I've completed that, the doctor said we should hopefully be able to proceed with the transplant but we need to make that I'm healthy and the cancer is NOT coming back. So, more prayers!! We serve such an awesome God and I know He is going to heal me 100%. There will NO more bumps, NO more hills, and NO more mountains. I will get through this with everyones help and above all, God's help. Below are some lyrics that kinda fit. It's by Miley Cyrus, who I'm not the biggest fan but oh well =)

The Climb


I can almost see it.
That dream I'm dreaming, but
There's a voice inside my head saying
You'll never reach it
Every step I'm takin'
Every move I make
Feels lost with no direction,
My faith is shakin'
But I gotta keep tryin'
Gotta keep my head held high

There's always gonna be another mountain
I'm always gonna wanna make it move
Always gonna be an uphill battle
Sometimes I'm gonna have to lose
Ain't about how fast I get there
Ain't about what's waitin' on the other side
It's the climb

The struggles I'm facing
The chances I'm taking
Sometimes might knock me down, but
No I'm not breaking
I may not know it, but
These are the moments that
I'm gonna remember most
I've just gotta keep goin', and
I gotta be strong
Just keep pushing on, but

There's always gonna be another mountain
I'm always gonna wanna make it move
Always gonna be an uphill battle
Sometimes I'm gonna have to lose
Ain't about how fast I get there
Ain't about what's waitin' on the other side
It's the climb

There's always gonna be another mountain
I'm always gonna wanna make it move
Always gonna be an uphill battle
Sometimes I'm gonna have to lose
Ain't about how fast I get there
Ain't about what's waitin' on the other side
It's the climb

Keep on movin'
Keep climbin'
Keep faith baby
It's all about, it's all about
The climb
Keep the faith, keep your faith, woah

update

Still in the hospital but thankfully, they've figured out what it is. It's a golf ball size abcess on my stomach. They don't want to do surgery cause it takes to long for my body to fight off the infection. The other option was to stick a needle in it to drain it out. But, as of today, they decided to treat it with antibiotics and pain meds. I'm feeling a little better but not 100% yet. I'm praying this goes away quickly so that the transplant doesn't get delayed. As of right now, it's delayed but I haven't heard how long. They're doing another bone marrow biospy on me tomorrow, which I'm not looking forward to it but again, I know it's needed in order to make sure everythings still going as planned. So, keep those prayers coming. Satan keeps trying to throw up road blocks but with God and the power of all your prayers, we just keep knocking them down. And we will continue to do so!!!! Keep the faith......Win the fight.

Slightly early arrival to James......

Well, after attempting to deal with my stomach pain, I finally said enough is enough and had Richard, my step-dad, bring me to the OSU ER. And it's a good thing we did. Apparently, I have an abcess on my stomach the size of a golf ball. They don't want to do surgery as that would delay the transplant quite a bit, so they're looking into anti-biotics and possibly draining some of it out with a needle. I'll know more tomorrow morning. It has not been a fun night/day. We got to the ER at 5pm Monday and didn't get into an actual room until 7am Tuesday. I've had like no sleep....I'm so exhausted. They've done a ton of tests and I'm not even sure if they're done yet. But, as long as they figure out what's wrong and fix it quickly, so we can stay on track with the transplant. So, keep those prayers coming!! Right now, my pain isn't too bad but they're trying to keep it under control. I'm definitely ready for the pain to be gone for GOOD!!! And to move onto the transplant stage. But we can't do that until this infection is gone. So, I'll keep posted. I know I haven't blogged much but between the pain and my internet at home being temperamental.....it's been rough. Well, I'm so tired I keep dozing off in front of my laptop. Keep praying!! God is still working, even with all of these speed bumps the enemy keeps throwing in my face. God and I will prevail through it all!!!
