Fasting Tuesday Week 4 & Video Devo

Hospital stays are so useful in reminding me why normal life is so stinking awesome. Good coffee, time with Chad before and after kids wake up or go to sleep, making meals, having to do laundry, etc.  We got discharged last Tuesday night (OF COURSE it was on a fasting Tuesday)and our hearts are still pretty happy about it.

Cade is doing SO well! We even woke up to him spreading out a long line of triscuits on the ground at 6 am, so you know he’s back in action. We are incredibly thankful.

We begin another 5 day this Monday, so we have a few prayer points, and a quick video devotional because it is Tuesday and we love our fasting Tuesdays around here.

1. Please pray Cade would enjoy his time swimming, running and playing this week and would be able to be as all boy as possible.

2. Please pray his kidney and bladder and body would be prepared for this reduced dose of chemo next week. Pray the reduction in the dose results in less blood transfusions, less platelette transfusions, and NO INPATIENT STAY.

3. As always, please pray that the chemo is a tool in God’s Hands to target any remaining cells, and that God blocks it from harming any other part of Cade’s body. May Cade eat, live, and play full of life!

Thank you so much for praying with us!

    Inspiring and encouraging video. I am still praying for Cade, and all of you. I love listening to you both, and seeing your beautiful faces; so full of Gods light and love; and hope. Blessed be God, and his holy name. Father, hear the prayers of your faithful ones. Continue touching Cade with your healing mercies, with the Blood of Jesus, through the power of your Holy Spirit. May all of this bring much hope to others, and ultimately glorify you, Father. In Jesus name. Amen.

FEASTING TUESDAY #23: Those Who Dream

We are so thrilled to share with y'all the good news from this week's scans. We explain at length in the video we made, and share some other cool stories. The bottom line is that Cade's four new lung nodules we saw on the scans in August were completely gone- and based on some new findings our oncologist feels confident it is the result of an infection and not the disease. We are not doing surgery, we are done with chemo, and CADE IS GOING TO SCHOOL! We will re-scan in three months to check on the scar tissue to make sure it is not growing, and to monitor him. We are so thankful to have this break, and we are hoping you fully celebrate with us. Our minds are still pretty blown- we had an emotional whiplash of a week last week, and I am personally still very much processing and absorbing what all of this means. In essence, I feel like I am emerging from hiding with my family, and it is amazing how many new decisions need to be made. But this is what relationship with J

Week 6 Chemo

Cade is doing great! I've been drinking up these precious, normal life days in all their fullness. It's amazing how this whole experience has increased our capacity to feel joy. In every sense, we are more aware and alive to the gift of life. We are still completely amazed at how unscathed he was by this past five day treatment. We are praying fervently that all of the treatment went straight to all the cancer, and his healthy cells stay healthy. Thank you for praying with us.  Cade has a chemo infusion tomorrow at 12 pm EST. As always, the chemo prayer points we initially wrote are  here . Below are some verses we prayed last week over Cade throughout his infusions, and ones we will also be praying tomorrow.  1. Please pray that this chemo would be a tool in God's hands. Psalm 119:91: "All things are your servants." I love this simple verse. When I read it last week I got excited. God is just SO in control of everything. Even in the crazy book o

Fasting Tuesday Week #22: The Shadow of the Most High

This week is scan week, and I know people must be praying because the peace we both feel is ridiculous. Cade has enjoyed a week of being so normal- running, playing, sweating, soccer, playgrounds. All of the things I once took for granted feel like a privilege and a gift. Thursday morning we will go in for a chest CT scan and a meeting with our oncologist. If the spots remain, we will have surgery in the next two weeks to remove them and get pathology. Everything hinges on the results of the pathology, and we are praying that every single cell is dead. We got to spend time with friends on Sunday night celebrating how faithful God has been through this process. It was so encouraging, and so good for me to stop and look back and realize all that God has done. It reminds me of the story where Jesus healed 10 leperous men and only one returned to thank him. I want to be that one. I want to always be willing to recognize when miracles have happened. Some days it feels like life can be
