I had to check ‘YES’
Savannah has been so strong and so brave. Her recovery has not been easy. It has not gone as quickly as she or her Dad and I had hoped. There have been long nights, tears, frustration, new symptoms, unanswered questions and a lingering fear for her future. But, we always seem to be able to […]
‘Somewhere in your Silent Night’
I have been waiting. Waiting for my story to come. I have found myself discouraged on more than one occasion and have even discussed with my husband that maybe it’s ok this year to just not send a letter with the Christmas card. “How many people actually read the letters that come with a Christmas […]
“Thy Friends do stand by thee…”
D&C 121:9 They friends do stand by thee, and they shall hail thee again with warm hearts and friendly hands. Savannah has been begging us to let her go back to school. It has been so hard to have to keep telling her that her little body just isn’t quite ready yet to go back. […]
‘I knew. She knew. God knew.’
November 5, 2020 I have had a few people asking for an update on our little Savannah. There are many who are wanting to know how she is doing and many that have had questions about Savannah’s diagnosis. It has been a week now since we got the call from her Oncologist with the final […]
“Intermixed Ganglioneuroblastoma”
October 29, 2020 On October 13th, we walked into the ER with no idea that our lives were about to change. On October 14th, we were told our 6 year old little girl likely had Cancer and she was admitted to the Oncology Unit of Primary Children’s Hospital. On October 15, we met her Oncology […]
“Miracle #199”
10-28-2020 This, my friends…. this right here is what a miracle looks like. This is the result of the many powerful prayers, fasting, service and love offered on behalf of our baby girl. There is no reason why we should be wheeling Savannah out of this hospital today, but by God’s tender mercies and the […]
“Jesus is here” 10-27-2020
My baby is so beautiful when she sleeps. So calm. So peaceful. So ok! Savannah had a typical day that follows surgery. Her pain was more intense now that surgery medications were out of her system and the numbing agents had worn off. It was frustrating for her to not understand why parts of her […]
‘Watermelon and Pegacorn’s’
October 26, 2020 The phone rang early this morning just before 7am. It was the Children’s Hospital calling to ask if we could be at the hospital sooner than our original scheduled time. Of course we said yes, quickly grabbed whatever we had packed, kissed our little man goodbye and ran out the door. It […]
“It’s Gonna Be Ok”
Entry from October 17, 2020 Nothing could have prepared us. There was no warning. There was no sign marking the path telling us what was waiting for us around the corner. Savannah is healthy. She is strong. She is brave. She is happy. She is kind. She is friendly. She is grateful and she Loves […]
“Getting rid of ‘Mr. Bad Boy’
Savannah has completed her antibiotics for the kidney infection and is healed up enough that they are ready to move forward with surgery. In her appointment with her Oncologist on Thursday, options were discussed as to how to move forward: Do nothing and wait and watch the growth for changes Do a needle biopsy (not […]
