Christmas Eve

Today was a very good day for Everett.  He got his second dose of Chemotherapy and his third dose of ATRA (all-trans retinoic acid).  He got a big boy bed and we ditched his 'iron crib' with the bubble top.  Santa Claus comes tonight to our very tiny Christmas tree.  Hopefully the presents will be here in the morning. 

All is quiet in the hospital.  The only ones left are the ones who will not be making it home for Christmas.  We ask that you say a prayer for all the kids in the hospital that won't be able to go home for Christmas.  Some are here without their parents and some are in far worse shape than we are.

Mom, Dad, and Grammy are watching classic Christmas cartoons and winding Everett down for the night.

We wish all our friends and family a Merry Christmas.  Enjoy your time with your family.  We love you and God bless all of you.

Love,
Val, John, Everett, and Grammy (Maxine)

  3. God bless you with strength that you will need to get through these difficult times! I posted a prayer request on my FB page to get all the help we can from the Man upstairs! Merry Christmas and God Bless.
