(Chad brought this medal for Cade he won in go-cart racing, and Cade wore it every. single. day. whil we were in inpatient.)
(This basketball hoop was installed the hour before we drove Cade home and he is basically the next Michael Jordan.)
(This is Cade and Bunny happily sleeping last night in their own big bed.)
(And this is a typical glimpse of the kind of "guys' nights Chad and Cade have in the hospital complete with popcorn, football, and no pants...for Cade at least).
We are happy to say that everyone is asleep in their own beds, out of the hospital. We wrapped up our final 5 day in this protocol, and finished out the final expected hospital stay. It was our shortest stay yet, and at it also felt the most routine out of all of them. After this long, we seem to have established a great system, including the most amazing grandparents around us. Chad and I have incredible parents, who willingly do things like spend hours with Cade at the hospital helping him do EVERYTHING, and then come home to chase our girls around or help get Eden to school and back. On both sides, my kids have amazing grands. What a gift!
Ahead of us is one more intense round of treatment for Cade, followed by two quick infusions the following weeks. We are still working on timing of the next scans to determine what (if anything) happens next. At this point, we want to celebrate the fact that what seemed impossible nine months ago has actually been accomplished. We have lived through, and some weeks soared through, a long and grueling protocol. These chemo groups aren't easy, and yet Cade has handled them like the champ he is.
One of our nurses told me this week that Cade is the best patient, and it confirmed this sneaking suspicion in me that perhaps the reason all of this has felt doable is because God put in Cade a precious temperament that literally had nothing to do with me or Chad or anything else but God being kind and Cade being great. Cade does not complain. He has been through so much. Sometimes I cry just thinking about all he has gone through, and usually when I am crying about that, Cade happens by to stop and hug me or wipe my tears and tell the girls, "Momma is crying because she loves me." Which is very, very true.
I keep thinking of the phrase "the make-it-ness of God". He has let us make it this far. We aren't scraping along, (although some weeks we did), we aren't driven to despair or insanity (although I have had my moments), and we aren't limping across this particular finish line. I am so thankful for that. We prayed for that, and so many of you prayed with us. I just want to report, it's happening. God's carrying us.
We spent a little bit of time last night on our date sharing what God was developing in us, and we both have arrived at the same conclusions, albeit by different routes:
We can trust God with our unknown future. We can trust God with our son. We will never regret banking on the goodness of God. So, we are pushing all of our chips to the center of the table and going to let God take care of the fall out. We trust His goodness will see us to the end.
Even if a king has the best-equipped army,
it would never be enough to save him.
Even if the best warrior went to battle,
he could not be saved simply by his strength alone.
Human strength and the weapons of man
are false hopes for victory;
they may seem mighty but they will always disappoint.
The eyes of the Lord are upon
even the weakest worshipers who love him—
those who wait in hope and expectation
for the strong, steady love of God.
God will deliver them from death,
even the certain death of famine, with no one to help.
The Lord alone is our radiant hope
and we trust in him with all our hearts.
His wrap-around presence will strengthen us.
As we trust, we rejoice with an uncontained joy
flowing from Yahweh!
Let your love and steadfast kindness overshadow us
continually, for we trust and we wait upon you!
Psalm 33:16-22
We are still praying for
1. New lungs for Cade, which would show no evidence of any disease or even the scar tissue from disease
2. Clean scans, and peace while we wait
3. Cade's immune system to build back up quickly
4. Cade to handle this last treatment very well and recover easily
5. Cade to live a long life full of many good days
Thank you for joining us in this fasting Tuesday, and praying with us for our son.

ReplyDeleteI am here to give my testimony about Dr Anuge who helped me.. i want to inform the public how i was cured from (HERPES SIMPLEX VIRUS) by Dr Anuge, i visited different hospital but they gave me list of drugs like Famvir, Zovirax, and Valtrex which is very expensive to treat the symptoms and never cured me.
