Hello,

I am so glad that Sarah Anne is doing so great. We are doing great too. It was so good to see the new pictures. I have to admit that it has been awhile since I have come by to visit. God placed Sarah Anne and Matthew on my mind this afternoon.

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year

Dear Sarah Anne,
I have the privilege of working with your Grandmother at Minor Elementary. You are richly blessed to have such a wonderful, smart, and caring Grandmother. Her job is quite demanding and we really don't have a clue what all she has to go through for us, but she keeps us going day in and day out. Your Grandmother is truly amazing! She loves you very much and is sooooo very proud of you. I do so hope that things continue to go well for you and your family. May God continue to keep you in the palm of his hand.

Hello to the Hicks family! I was just checking on y'all after viewing the website of boy from our Church and school. Patrick's website is www.caringbridge.org/co/patrick . He was diagnosed with Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia a couple of years ago and still has another year of treatment.
I am glad to hear you are still envolved in Church. I don't know if I have talked with you since I took over a ministry at our Church, Parents' Night Out for Special Needs Children. Once a month parents can drop off their special needs kids and siblings and enjoy at night out. We have pizza and activities for the kids. Usually John goes with me to help and the kids come too.
Well, Kate has finally finished her homework and is ready for bed so I will have to cut this short. I am glad to see that all of you are doing well. We are itching to go camping but I don't know how we will fit it in between soccer and bible study. Love,

Kristen Thompson

Hey Hicks Family!
I don't know if you remember me, but I ran a marathon in 2001 for Sarah Anne with Team in Training. I am now a speech pathologist at Children's Hospital and work a lot with hem/oc and stem cell. I saw your name on another caringbridge site and was so excited! I think of you guys a lot and have wondered how Sarah Anne is doing. I was thrilled to see her pictures and hear that she is doing so well. What a blessing! If you are ever at the hospital for a check up, look me up. I would love to see you. My office is in clinic 2 but the receptionist can page me. I will continue to pray for you all.

Hip hop, hippety hop
My “Easter Bunny” went off to the shop,
He bought me an egg and lots of chocs
And packed them into a cardboard box.
Then he wrapped it with paper and shiny string
It really was such a pretty thing.
Disaster struck when I opened the door-
He slid across the parquet floor,
He went round the corner and past the stairs
And finished up in a pile of chairs.
Of the Easter goodies not a trace,
he’d thrown them into my fireplace!
So a warning before you go opening doors
Make sure your “Bunny” has non-slip paws!





Happy Easter

With lots of love,

Everyone at Post Pals

Hi Sarahanne and family,

I came across your website while I was visiting Madison Beck's website. I have read a little bit of your jounal. I am glad to hear that you are doing good. You are a beautiful little girl. It looks like you have a wonderful family. My family will be praying for yours. We hope you continue to stay well. Our little girl, Lenzie, was diagnosed on September 7, 2005 with ganglioneuroblastoma. She is receiving chemo at Children's Hospital in Birmingham. That is where we met Madison. She is such a brave and sweet little girl. Just wanted to let you know we are thinking about you and you are in our prayers.

You don't know me, but I was reading another caringbridge site and read your encouraging words.
I wanted to let you know your page has touched me. Through your struggle you still found ways to encourage others through your verses and such. My neice is 2 1/2 and has been diagnosed with neuroblastoma. It was intersting to read your pages. It gave me an understanding of what my sister in law and brother in law and baby girl would be going through, and how much they would need others support throughout the entire journey. I don't know you personally, but find myself praying for Sarahanne when I pray for my neice, Colette. I know you understand how important it is for everyone to join together in prayer. I could tell that you are a spiritually strong family. Please include my niece in your prayers. her caringbridge website is www.caringbridge.org/al/colette.

Your family is precious and your pictures are adorable! Congrats on getting the doctor visits moved back...that is great! I am an angel through cancer warriors for a little boy named Collin (www.caringbridge.org/fl/collinburke). I found your site by looking at candles - a link from cancer warriors! I think you are a very special little girl, and there's no doubt in my mind that God has a special job for you! Blessings on you and your family.

Hello Sarah and Emma girl and little man, Jonah, Whoopieeeeeee! An update just for me and I love--no, I absolutely adore the pictures--they are too cute! So sorry about the teeth, Sarah, how do you chew up a lizard? If you need any help let me know. Emma, I bet you're helping your mom a lot with all the babysitting, huh? You're such a sweetie. I think about your family often, hope you have a great week, and Sarah, since you're so smart now, will you tell your daddy that Skeeter Bug is spelled with capital letters? Thanks a million!

Hello there, Sarah and Emma girl,
I loved your pictures! Some little girl or boy will be really proud of those locks of love...great job, Sarah! I hope school is going well. I bet Emma and Jonah are having fun at home. Now I have a bone to pick with Mom and Dad-I read the journal 2 months ago, but I had to give chase to a mouse so I didn't sign the guestbook. I realize that you probably have a purrfectly good reason, but I think it's high time we had a new journal entry. How's a kitty to keep up with his friends? Get busy! Hope all of you have a purrfectly wonderful week. I love yall, Skeetie

I pray that you will always be healthy. Jesus loves you.

Great pictures! Pretty awesome that you donated your very pretty hair, Sarah Anne. Some similarities I wanted to share: My son was also diagnosed in May of 2000 with pre-B ALL and off treatment in November of 2002. And although he didn't donate his hair just before school this year, I did! It was funny coming home from my first short hair cut and seeing that post about your donation. Have a great school year.

Dear Sarah Anne,
Wow! What an awesome gift you have given! It must feel wonderful to share something so precious to you. I am a school teacher - I teach Spanish (Hola) I wanted to tell you about two things: My niece is a 3rd grade teacher. She had long blond hair like yours. She decided she would donate her hair if her students would become strong readers. They were so pleased, that they became fabulous readers, and she donated her hair to locks of love!I also wanted to tell you about my son Andrew. He was six when he got lymphoma. He is now 14 with long curly hair! He doesn't want to cut it! Bye, Kerry

Hello to the Hicks family! It has been so long since we've signed your guestbook, but you continue to be in our prayers! We just got back from a little vacation to see some friends of our's, who just moved back home to --- Andalusia, Alabama. We're not sure if Birmingham is close, or not, but we were just in the same state where you live! Also, we had our first trip to Destin, Florida! We stayed in the Majestic Sun condos (I think that's the name -- it's "Majestic 'something'"). Our friends, from Alabama, took us! We loved it! It's beautiful there! We are looking forward to visiting again soon!

Anyway, we are very happy that things are going great for your family. We pray for continued good health and happiness. Take care and God bless you all!

Hi we were in Destin in May too- on the 26th! We stayed at Sandpiper Cove condos(where we stay yearly). It was gorgeous as usual. Your kids look great and Ashton is almost 16 months OT. I know everything you mean in you current journal entry. Ashton has some sore throat and a swollen gland or 2 and it makes me a little crazy-heehee.

I am so glad to hear things are great and BUSY!! Wow at all the hair Jonah has. Taylor had a head full, but Logan still has very little. He finally lost his stump Sunday, 2 days shy of 3 months old. Weirdo:) He hated his first tub bath, but seemed to enjoy the next one, so maybe he will like them afterall. Molly, our black lab would never have let us get a photo like yours. She was our child for 4 years before Taylor was born and she was very jealous. She never snapps or anything, she jsut steers clear. Taylor loves her, but it is only mutual if Taylor is eating:)
Well, I better run. I am so glad things are so good adn I pray that stay that way. I hope your vacation time gets here soon, sounds like you all need a little R&R. Take care!
Love and Prayers,
Kim, Jim, Taylor and Logan

Hi guys! I hope all is well in the Hicks house. We are good over here at the Watts house. We are sleeping through the night and doing fine on our new formula, but we do still have an umbilical stump!! Yes, I know it is crazy. I think he is going to show it at show and tell in Kindergarten. How are the kids? I hope everyone is doing and feeling fine. Finally, some warm weather. We are playing ball this year, so if you ever need an outing for a day we will be at McAdory ball park. I am sure Taylor would love to run with the girls. Logan on the other hand has not been to impressed with it:)
God Bless you all and Sarah Anne's continues heath.

I just got to see the pictures of the new baby, mom, and the big sisters. Kelly, I'm amazed at how much the girls look like you and Steve. Gee, I wonder where Jonah got all that hair from......
All you guys are in my thoughts and prayers. I'm so glad Sarah Anne is doing well and I pray that she stays well. Kelly, you really don't look like you just had a baby - that's just wrong! Don't worry about having a C-section, done it twice and it'll get better.
You have such beautiful family - God has truly blessed you all.

Okay, I am coming over. Every time I look at his picture with the two angels, I just wnat to squeeze him!!! How is he?? Sleeping all night yet. I hope so casue we sure aren't. Taylor was soooo easy and Logan is so different. He is good, but just so different that I am not sure what to do with him:) Taylor just wanted to be fed and changed then leave him alone. Logan will not burp and has already changed formula and everything inbetween. Soon he will be big and I will long for this, so I will stop complaining. HOw is Kelly feeling, great I hope. I continue to pray for you all.
Love ya,

Hi and congrats! I "met" Sarah Anne way back when she was a featured kid at MACS and have been checking here for updates ever since. I have loved seeing all the pictures you have posted of the girls and can't get over how cute they are. When I read that you were expecting a baby boy I couldn't imagine that he could possibly be as cute as your girls....and then I saw his pictures! WOW - he is just beautiful!!! What a sweet bunch of kids you have! Thank you for sharing them with all of us through your website! :)

My name is Lisa and I was diagnosed with ALL in 1979 when I was 15 years old. I am now 40, married to my high school sweetheart and have three beautiful children. I know what you are going through is so tough and you probably can not imagine life without hospitals, treatmetn and sickness, but it does get better and life returns to "normal" with time. Hang in there, there is life after cancer. I will keep you in my thoughts and prayers.

I really love the Daisy girl scout photo --- both girls are beautiful (but of course you already know that!) My oldest daughter was a Daisy last year. This year she moved up to Brownie, which means we are right in the middle of our first-ever Girl Scout cookie sale, what joy. Thin Mint, anyone????

Have a great weekend, and many continued blessings for your family!

I am so glad that we got to see you all at the Camp SAM Christmas Party (even Jonah in the oven). I would've been disappointed if I hadn't gotten to see you pregnant, Kelly. I added the pic of all the kids by the tree to Matthew's website. Check it out when you get a chance. I hope you all have a wonderful Christmas! We'll talk to you soon.

yeah sara Anne, I am so glad all went well. It was great to see you all at the Christmas party.
kely, I hope you are feeling well. I am so glad I am done!! Logan Riley joined us at 12:42 pm on 12/16/03. Dr.Berlow is our doc as well and we too had a long talk about cord banking we also used Viacord and they were great. It was so great that they covered the expenses. They send the kit to your house and you just bring it with you to delivery. They did it right after they cut the cord and then showed me the bag. Logan provided us a lot of blood!We called to tell them it was done and within an hour or so a currier came to pick it up. The dr also said that viacord was a very user friendly kit. It took him all of 5 minutes to collect. Did you have a c-section before? the first was awful, but the 2nd was a breeze. Well, a breeze compared to the first, it still hurt. I have been up way more this time around. We will be coming home tomorrow. I wish you the all the best andcan't wait to meet baby Jonah!! Have a great holiday.
love,
Kim, Jim, Taylor, and Logan Watts

Glad to hear that the 9 month OT tests were good. Always a sigh of relief is felt. So, end of first trimester ehh? Congratulations is in order!!! All the best for a smooth next 6 months for Kelly and all of you.

Hey everyone, how are you doing? Glad to see all is well there with you Sarah Anne. I hope you all are enjoying your summer/ back to school. I bet your teacher's really nice. Did I ever tell you we found some bunnies in our backyard recently. Actually, our dog did - the kids were in the pool and she was barking like crazy under the pool deck. Finally when we checked there was a bunny nest with a baby bunny in it. Then after more looking through it we found 2 more. So since I have 3 kids and there was 3 bunnies, they each named one. We left lettuce and water and carrots out there but it was never touched so we dont think the mom came back. About 2 days later we took them in to feed them and we had them a week, feeding them kitten milk from a kitten bottle or dropper. They were SO cute! They called them Jean, Robin and Nibbles. My son Gooch called his Jean, named after Jean Smart in XMen. They opened their eyes while we had them and by the end of the week we had them they were running all over, more running than hopping. My husband was convinced they were going to grow up and bite our fingers off, so we turned them over to a Childrens Museum that is a wildlife rehab center near us. I hope they are being taken care of, if they werent already released. I know the kids loved them and they really were cute!! That was our thrill for the summer – school doesnt restart here until Aug 27th so we have a little more time yet...

Sarah Anne,
Wow...first day of school tomorrow! I know you are so excited. That tree house sounds pretty neat - Ross and Laura's 2nd grade teacher had an old claw foot, iron tub in her room to read in, but I think I like the tree house idea better! Kelly ~ I know you are so thankful to be out of that 1st trimester. I remember those days very well...I wasn't sick, but slept ALL of the time.
Keep those great updates coming!
God bless,

Hey there Sarah Anne,
First of all...cute border. I love the little bears. :o) They look like a nursery border...and you'll be helping your mom decorate a nursery for a new brother or sister soon. That is such WONDERFUL news! I am so happy for all of you. I am so thankful that your platelets came back up. I know you will do great in school. Matthew gets to start school this fall too. He's looking forward to it very much, but like your parents, I am nervous... I know both of you will be just fine though! I will keep you and your family in my prayers.
Love and Hugs,
Katrina

I have been so excited reading this whole update. The news just kept getting better and better. I was so glad to read the counts have recovered that makes for a happy mommy and daddy. AND speaking of mommy what is this I read about a baby in the oven. That is great news. It would be great for a little boy to enter with all those girls, but of course another girl would be great too. We'll just pray for health for the baby and for Kelly to stay healthy. What a blessing the baby will be.

Hello girls (and Steven),
I hope you all had a wonderful Independence day! I am so sorry that I missed Sarah Anne at the clinic the other day. We had to get in and get out early to get some afternoon errands taken care of. We all (Matthew, Colin and myself) really wanted to get to see you guys. We definitely need to get together before the summer is over. We are going to be out-of-town for the next two and a half weeks for vacation!! The boys are looking forward to it. I feel certain that Sarah's platelet count will come back up soon. How low was it, by the way? Most people's counts go up and down, we just don't check them often enough to know that. Keep us posted. Talk to you soon. We love you all.

Her hair is getting darker too. Your trips sound so fun. We took advantage of the GKTW passport last summer. It was kind of fun. I am so glad that she is feeling good. Those nasty chicken pox didn't slow her down though. GOOD!!

Hello Hicks Family,
I am so glad to hear that Sarah's appointment went well. I'm sure that you are "counting down" the months as we are until they are medically considered "cured". Of course, I always trust in God's eternal promises, although that humanly fear manages to creep back in every once in a while. We love you guys and miss seeing you. You are all so very precious to us...like Steven said about the "trio" always having a special relationship, the bonds we've created as "cancer parents" are unbreakable as well. We've all been through so much together and I plan on one day celebrating Sarah Anne's high school graduation with you, and I will cry tears of joy the day she gets married (so we'd better get an invitation!!). God bless and take care and know that we are thinking of you all. Love,

We are so happy that Sarah's doctor's appointment went well and that all of her counts were in the "normal" range! We are sure that is a continued blessing for your family! How exciting that you all will be taking your first vacation with just your "immediate" family - that is something that we need to do, as well. How nice it will be to recharge and just focus on each other! We will continue to keep you all in our thoughts and prayers! Take care and God bless.

Hi Sarah and Emma girl, it's your little buddy, Skeeter Bug. Wow, what some cute Easter pictures! I can't believe how much yall grow every time I see new pictures of you. I'm still just a little kitty-cat. The Easter Bunny brought me some tartar control kitty treats. I guess he noticed that my teeth were getting yellow again. Always know that I say prayers for you and your family. I better go, it's almost time to go to work. I love yall, Skeetie

Hello! We are just checking in and see that you have updated since the last time we have visited. What wonderful pictures from Easter. Kelly, it seems that we have another "thing" in common --- the way we dress our daughters! The easter dresses that your girls were wearing, are very similar to dresses that Emily has! Sarah and Emma are so precious!

We will be praying for Sarah Anne's 6-month OT doctor visit. With her continued energy, we are sure that things will be just fine!! Take care and God bless you all!

We are after all his children and he will take care of us all we have to do is believe. I just find it hard to understand why people would choose not to believe. O.k. on to the rest. Sarah Anne, I'm so glad to hear that you are doing good. I will continue to pray that you will always be doing good. Kelle, You are a wonderful woman with all that you do.

Hello Hicks Family,
Just thinking of you all and decided to stop in and see what's new at your house. What a wonderfully fitting entry for Easter (or any time of the year). Thanks for reminding me of what a wonderful Savior we have and what an awesome God we serve. I'm glad we got to see you at the Easter Egg Hunt, but I wish we could've spent more time together. I've got some precious pictures of the kids that I'll mail to you. God bless and take care. P.S.-Still waiting to set the date for our "date"!! I know you are all so busy, but we would really love to have you over.

Good morning friends,
Austin was so touched by the picture your girls brought him. And, the coloring book was a huge hit. We have your card and picture up on the wall. The picture is wonderful!!!

I wish I could have had the opportunity to speak to you when you came up, the nurses said I just missed you. Maybe soon, we can get together.

Thank you so much for taking the time to think of us. It really meant alot.

God bless you,

My Dear Friends,

Andrew and I went by to visit Austin last night...I think he has had enough of the Stem Cell Unit!!! Anyway we were playing and I looked down and saw this card and immediately recognized those blonde heads!! Andrew did too! You could barely see Sarah Annes's face and all you could see of Emma Grace was her beautiful long blond hair. They looked like such angels kneeling and praying! All I could think of was the quote..."I believe friends are quiet angels who lift us to our feet when our wings have trouble remembering how to fly." Believe me that was what your girls and that card did for Tina and Austin yesterday.

When I saw it I asked Tina if that was Sarah Anne and Emma
(before I took the time to read the card) she said, "I am not sure, I was not here when they came by, but I am keeping it close..." Please know it brought great strength to Tina and I know Austin too when Andrew began to tell them
about you and his friendship with you all.

"I asked the Lord to bless you as I prayed for you today. To guide you and protect you as you go along your way.... His love is always with you, His promises are true, And when we give Him all our cares you know He will see us through. So when the road you're traveling on seems difficult at best, Just remember I'm here praying, and God will do the rest.”

I miss you! :)
Love, Linda

How exciting!! I know you will do great in Kindergarten, although it may be a little tough for Mom & Dad to accept that you are really that big! A treehouse in your room....wow, that's really neat. I remember one of Ross's favorite classrooms had a big clawfooted bathtub in it full of pillows. It was the "Reading Tub" and the kids could climb in it and read. We miss seeing you in clinic, but I'm so happy to hear you are doing so well.

I am thrilled that is is done and you can hopefully move on to raise one of the most precious little angels I have ever met. There will ALWAYS be a very special place in my heart for Sarah Anne and your family. Even though our paths go separate ways and we don't see each other please know you are always in my thoughts and prayers. I saw this on another child's website and wanted to pass it along to you.

What Cancer Cannot Do...
Cancer is so limited....

It cannot cripple love
It cannot shatter hope
It cannot corrode faith
It cannot destroy peace
It cannot kill friendship
It cannot suppress memories
It cannot silence courage
It cannot invade the soul
It cannot steal eternal life
It cannot conquer the spirit

I am so glad this site is hear so we can check on you. I had no idea that the port was going to be taken out until I just read it!! That is awesome news Sarah Anne! We will be praying like crazy for this procedure tomorrow now that we know about it. I know it can be a little scary for you and Mom & Dad, but I just know that God is going to give everyone the peace and strength they need and all will go well. His hand is so evident in your lives! Besides worry can not add a single minute to our lives, take several away, so don't worry. We love you guys and will be praying for you!
Love ya lots, Mike, Sherri, Elise & Ashtyn

Don't look back just continue to look forward. It is the final stage of your daily reminder. I'll always remember about Holly getting her broviac removed. It was the last reminder of the cancer treatment. Reading your entry reminder me of the Holly's doctor when pulling out her broviac. With his soft kind gentle loving voice said "You better never need this again". I will pray in the morning for Sarah Anne to never need that port again.

I also can understand about going back to the surgery. Holly saw a ENT at St Louis for her ear infections. When it was time to take her back to him because of the ears were infected again. I just couldn't. It was the fact that the Same Day Surgery was on the same floor with Hem/Onc. I just wasn't ready for going back to that floor and spending any time there. We went to a good doctor closer to home. I will pray in the morning for your fears for God to send comfort and peace to you both.

May Angels surround Sarah Anne and family tomorrow.

I am so excited for you all. What a special day. I understand your emotions. We are not at the end yet, but I so understand. Taylor and I used the elevators at that end of the building a few weeks ago and he ran into one day surgery to ride a car. I walked in and all teh emotion from out initial surgery came rushing over me. I looked at every person and wondered why they were there. I thought about how far we had come. It was very scary yet special too. I realized how strong I really was, something I was sure I wasn't on that first day! I wish you all the best and pray you never need that port again. You will have my prayers Monday morning as you take that final step.
Love,
Kim Watts

Hello Hicks Family,
I'm so glad Sarah Anne is getting her port out Monday. She doesn't seem nervous about it. She told us about it last night in Mission Friends class. The other kids got antsy about it when she said the doctor would use a knife to cut it out. She will handle it fine--she is such a trooper. Spencer said a special prayer for her last night and I know he will until after he knows the port is out. I'm sending up special "port removal" prayers as well as the usual "cancer-free for life" prayers I always pray. We love you all. See you Sunday.

Sarah Anne,
I am SO glad to hear that you are finally getting DE-PORTED!!!! YEAH!!!! You don't need that old thing anymore little girl! I will be praying for your family because I know how anxious they will be. I understand completely. I just about wore out the floor in our one day surgery room pacing the floor. Van said I was making him nervous. Everything turned out fine and it will for Sarah Anne too. She's a precious little sweetheart and we love her dearly. By the way, go ahead and give her a big hug and kiss from all of us! God bless. I'll be in touch soon.

My Dear Precious Family - Maw Maw was so excited when my sweet son called and told me about Sarah Anne, our Princess. I pray for all of you every day and Pleasant Hill United Methodist Church family continues to pray for all of you. My Sarah Anne is growing up so fast and growing more beautiful every day - of course - she takes that after her Maw Maw! Maw Maw is so sorry my little Emma has infected ears again, but I'll pray and send all my hugs and kisses to soon be well. Steven, I worked so hard to put weight on you as you were so skinny, but man "Look at you now!" - so Emma will catch up, we'll just have to fix a special formula to fatten her up - just enough to look GREAT in her bikini when she reaches her teenage years! I love my granddaughters so-o-o much and as my children were growing up - my grandchildren are now, MY LIFE AND MY LOVE. God will continue to bless all of you as so many love you and send continuous prays to our Heavenly Father,who watches over all the sparrows in His World.
Special Hugs and Kisses and an extra GET WELL KISS for Emma.
Maw Maw -- Paw Paw also sends his "tickle" kisses.

Kelly, Steven, Sarah Anne & Emma Grace,

I ask the Lord to bless you
As I prayed for you today.
To guide you and protect you
As you go along your way.
His love is always with you
His promises are true.
And when we give Him all our cares
You know He will see us through.
So when the road you're traveling
Seems difficult at best,
Just remember I'm here praying,
And God will do the rest.

Your family has such a big place in my heart. I know the fact that I don't see you anymore is because you are not having to come to the hospital (thank goodness!) but I just wanted you to know that I think of you all the time and I miss you.

Love, Linda

Hey Sarah Anne,

I am so sorry your ear is infected. I am glad the doctor caught it before you started hurting from it. I hope you don't have problems with your ears like my Holly has. Holly would of had a easier time off treatment if it wasn't for those ears. It sure is awful you really need those things. Holly probably would of wanted them taken out or off.

It is hard to believe that you are going to go to school this fall. You are truly growing up before our eyes.

Love on your Grandma for me and give her a big kiss and hug.

Hi Sarah Anne, Happy late birthday!. I found your site through another carinbridge site. You are an inspiration to other kids. You show more courage then most adults do. My name is Greg, and I'm a 17 year old with brain stem Glioma cancer. I hope that you beat ths cancer and live a long and happy life. Keep up the fight and may God Bless you.

Dear Miss Sarah,
Wow....five years old. That's a BIG birthday to celebrate! I know this birthday holds lots of special meaning for your parents, so forgive them if they cry just a little. Ross would be the first to agree with you about "not having a clue" what your little sister is talking about...his little sister Laura is quite a character!
Take care and have a great day!

We are just about 6 months months behind you in treatment, so this hopefully will be our last one with things like methotrexate and mercaptopurine sitting around.

Kelly, Steven, Sarah Anne and Emma,

It was very nice to see you yesterday, even if we really didn't get a chance to visit. The clinic was a zoo!! I am so glad everything is going well for Sarah Anne. I can't believe it has already been a month since she was declared "off treatment"! Time goes by way too fast. I know this is a difficult time for you and please know you are in my thoughts and prayers daily. "I can do everything through Him who gives me strength." Philippians 4:13

I have no better way to say my thoughts for you both....
Where there is pain, I wish you peace and mercy.
Where there is self-doubting, I wish you a renewed confidence.
Where there is exhaustion, I wish you understanding, patience, renewed strength.
Where there is sadness and fear, I wish you love and courage.
Hope you have a great weekend and I look forward to seeing you all at the Christmas Party! Andrew will be there and is already talking about playing with the girls. He is very blessed to know and love such a wonderful family as yours!
Love, Linda

Hey guys! You guys are awesome for loving your Nana so much and taking such good care of her in her final years of life. What a blessing you guys have stored up in heaven already! I can't believe the kids have finally finished treatment. I can remember our in-patient visits like they were yesterday. Matthew and Sarah Anne still seem like those precious little babies they once were. Already wise before their time by the age of 2. It is so great to see the pictures of her final procedures and to know that they turned out so well. We'll count down the days until that port comes out. God bless and talk to you soon.

Kelly and family,
I am so glad to hear of your great news! I haven't checked your site in a while, but have thought of you often recently because I knew you were nearing the end of treatment.

Wow, what a great feeling to be on the road to putting it all behind you! (I totally understand that fear of being off treatment, though. I felt that way when Gerry was going to be off for only 6 weeks. Treatment is a strange security blanket...but I guess cancer makes for strange bedfellows!)

Anyway, I am so glad that God is answering your prayers and I will keep praying for continued blessings for your family.

Love,

I love to nap, it gives me plenty of energy to chase rats and squirrels...and grasshoppers. Well you have a good time at school, Sarah and learn all you can, then you can teach little Emma when you get home. Well yall have a good'un and come to see me sometime. Love ya, Skeetie

The service was wonderful. Steven, your words really hit home!!(with me AND with Andrew) He made a few comments on the way home that proved he really got a lot out of it....which is a great compliment/accomplishment for keeping an 11 year old boy's attention.
We love you and will ALWAYS have you in our thoughts and prayers. We look forward to growing up with your precious girls.
Love,

Hi sweet little Sarah Anne and family. I read today's post with tears of joy in my eyes. I am sooooo happy for you. I am very proud of how well you have handled this last 2 1/2 years. This morning when I was praying for you, I was reminded of the first time I met you. It was at the church picnic when you were 2. Cassidy was only 5 weeks old and you came up to see her. Your mom came up to make sure you were not disturbing us and you asked if we could pray for the baby. Your mom said a prayer for Cassidy and you were on your way. You took a little piece of my heart with you that day and you still have it. You will still be on top of my prayer list every Wed. morning. You are a very special little girl. You have touched so many lives. I love you! Mrs. Tracey

Congratulations!! What a relief you must feel for finally completeing your treatments. It must have been a tough road at times and you seemed to have handled it with grace and courage. My wife and I also have a daughter recovering from cancer. She was diagnosed with a brain tumor one year ago and she is now doing very well. We know some of the emotions you must be feeling. The good Lord works in wonderfully mysterious ways!! We will be praying for Sara Anne's full recovery.

Yay Sarah Anne!!! Whoopeeee! NO more chemo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I am so happy that you can now say you are all done with this! Don't you worry about a thing (I do realize that I am stating the impossible but...) Those test will come back free and clear and you will be on your way to a new normal. Life OT is difficult to get used to. Brianna has been OT over 1 year and we are still getting used to it and sometimes all it takes is just "a moment" to take you right back there. But you will adjust! Try to enjoy the end of treatment for what it is, and not let the fear overwhelm you. Looking foward to seeing you on PED ONC SURVIVORS- it is not as active as ALL-KIDS, but the same support is there. Oh, BTW Love the Disney pics! Glad you had fun!
hugs, Heather and Brianna Kline

Congratulations to all of you as Sarah Anne completes treatment. I will definitely pray for her that she never has to fight cancer again. Although Hillary is far from end of treatment, I think I will feel just like you. As a CK parent, I think we will always have that fear in the back of our minds.

I love your wish trip pictures! It looks like all of you had a great time!

ENJOY being off treatment!!!

As I read your journal entry tonight, I too cannot believe it has been 2 1/2 years since I met your family. I remember so well the day I stuck my head in your hospital room and asked if you wanted to attend a scrapbooking class. I don't know if you knew, but it was my first time to come around to the rooms and I was so nervous! When I saw you both sitting there with your little girl, I thought to myself...I am not the nervous one...they are! I will never forget that moment. Then, what I consider a lifelong friendship began. As I have said so many times to you (and will continue to say!) your precious family has touched my life (and my family's) in so many ways!! You will always be in our prayers and I hope that this bond we share will last for many, many, many years to come. (I plan on Sarah Anne and Emma being counselors at Camp SAM one day!!!)
Love, hugs, and smiles!!!

I hope you guys had the complete fairy tale on your vacation. I know those Make A Wish trips are amazing. You guys deserve a fabulous family time together. It sounds like we were gone at about the same time. We left on October 3rd and returned on the 13th on a sort of Make a Wish trip of our own. Their isn't really an organization for adults, but some very generous anonymous benefactors made it happen for us. We had a wonderful trip (details on our site), and it was exactly what we needed it to be. I pray that yours was, too.

Your family remains in our prayers as you mark time until the end of treatment! Go, Sarah Anne!

Love,

You don't know me yet, but I look forward to meeting you and Emma and your Mom. I am your Dad's English teacher at Southeastern Bible College. Your Dad is a pretty good boy most of the time. Just kidding! Your Dad is a great man, and it is obvious that he loves his little girls. Our class has been praying for you. Maybe you and Emma can come visit our class one day soon. I would like that very much.

I also have a little girl named Sarah. She is 17 and probably almost as sweet as you! I hope you have wonderful, fun trip with your family next week!

God bless you,

Then on to Mickey's House for a week of fun! I can't wait to celebrate the end of both of our treatments. It's been a long road and it definitely would not have been as bright without you and your family. You know that you are a blessing to me! Love,

Hi Sarah Anne!

I just wanted to wish you a great trip to Disneyworld! I am sure you will all have a wonderful time. My daughter Isabelle and I bumped into Cinderella in the elevator of her castle in May... I have to say she is as nice in person as she is in her movies. How exciting that she has invited you to her castle for breakfast! Enjoy!

I was forwarded a message from my friend, Maria, with regards to "extra" scrapping supplies & tools....I will be gathering up some stuff and sending it to you soon... However, on a different note, I am a mother of a special needs child. And although, my daughter does not have to undergo any treatment, etc. as Sara is having to, I know how difficult it is to see your child in pain.

My daughter, Vanessa, was born premature @ 28 weeks weighing 2lbs. 7oz, with a hemerage in the head requiring a VP shunt, which she still has. Doctor's told me she wouldn't walk, talk or see. I am happy to say, she does all of the above! At 10 days old she had surgery for your intestines weighing 1lb. 10 oz. Me and my family being of a Catholic/Christian faith, put her in the Lord's hands and if you've ever watched the movie "Simon Birch" you know the Lord puts our children where they are at for a reason...he knew what wonderful parents you would be for Sara and her needs!

Vanessa is now 20 (August 10th) and began her second year of college today (08/19)! Although, she is in special courses, she is succeeding!

Know, that Sara will be in my prayers as well as you and your entire family!

I look forward to keeping up on Sara's progress and I will e-mail you when I ship the scrapping supplies to you! You are wonderful to bring so much brightness into the lives of others.....you are a blessing.....May the Bless and keep you! Suzanne Olguin :o)

We pray for you and for Sarah Anne, for continued healing and strength for your family. We can only try to imagine what a tumultuous mix of emotions it must be to be nearing the end of treatment. We pray for your peace and joy, and for wisdom for you and your medical team. Know that we are thinking of you.
Love,
Laura and Gerry Kimes

NOVEMBER 6th! Wahoo! It is marked on my calendar! Going OT is scary of course...but it is SO great to see them get their energy back and be their "true" selves. No more steroids! That is the BEST NEWS! I will be celebrating with you on that day! God bless dear Sarah Anne with remission forever.

I want to see some of the "new hairdo" photos! Your girls could never have a bad hair day, though....they are so precious. I know the thought of going off treatment has to be a little scary, but just think how far you've come. I'll be praying that God will wrap His arms around you and carry you in the next phase.
God bless,

Hello....
Wow.... what a wonderful update..... You will love Disney!!!!!!!!!! I can't even begin to describe how much fun Emma had at her trip. And an official end date too..... I am also nervous about Emma ending treatment. She has only 15 days of treatment left and is scary... but like you said.... we will count on The Lord ..... He has gotten us this far and we are counting on Him to completely heal Emma and Sarah Anne. Your precious family will remain in our prayers.....
Love and blessings to you all.

I remember so well cutting my own hair. It tickled my neck. Girls will be girls. Holly cut her bangs really short one day just playing with the scissors. I hope their hair could be repaired nicely.

After about 2 1/2 years, I know November will be here before you know it. 3 month!!! I can't give you any good advice. I feel sometimes I have failed at being strong off treatment. I'm like a puzzle. I keep getting torn apart. Just remember that God has always picked up my pieces.

Praying in Missouri!!

Kelly,

Thank you for visiting our website and for your kind words. It is amazing how God works to put the right people in certain places sometimes. I read your guestbook entry last night at a time when I felt particularly weak. When I feel that way, which is usually only when I let myself get too tired, I go to the site for inspiration and hope. I found such comfort in your words last night. You hit the nail on the head when you spoke of being brave all day and sometimes terrified at night. Fear and dread can creep up and threaten to take over when I'm tired, but knowing you understood made me feel better.

I love the quote you gave - "I will not live dying, but will die living." That is exactly what we try to focus on doing - living. Gerry and I have had 17 wonderful years together, and don't plan to waste a second of what we have left. (We also plan to be living, shouting testimony to God's miracle when He heals Gerry!)

I see from your site that Sarah Anne is doing well and is well on her way with her miracle. Our family will keep your family in our prayers as we all navigate this strange path. Like you, we try every day to be open to God's plan for us. I will check your site often as I follow your progress and am inspired by you.

How fortunate we are to have found each other and gotten a second chance at our schoolgirl friendship. Strange and wondrous blessings come from our situation everyday. I think girlfriends help make the world go around - I'm glad to have you back in my life. I still remember trying to balance my crazy self on your stilts under the streetlight outside your house late one night in about the 6th or 7th grade! I also remember spending the night and you trying to get your hair rolled before your mom figured out we'd been up all night or something like that! You had that long beautiful hair. Sweet memories.

I hope you and your sweet family have a blessed week and I will look forward to talking with you soon.
Love,
Laura (Renno) Kimes

Hello Sarah Anne!
My name is Lori, I'm a chemo-angel and I just dropped by to say hello.
You know, my 5 year old son decided to ride his bike down the hill next to our house. He was pretending to be one of those fancy bike riders on TV. He crashed right into the house next to us. Boy was I scared. He was ok too, just like you. You kids sure like to keep us Mommy's on our toes!
All my best!

Hello Hicks family,
Just stopped in to see how everything was going. Love those new pics! You have such a beautiful family! And Sarahanne is almost done with her chemo. Huray!!!!!!!!!!!!! Glad things are going well and they you guys are enjoying your summer. You mentioned long term side effects- Has Sarah anne ever had the neuropsyche testing done? It will give you a better picture of whether these issues are chemo related or not. Also, it is good to have a baseline done for future reference. The tests aren't to bad- Brianna has had them done twice now and said they were kinda fun. Let me know if you have any ?'s about them. Unfortunately POG 9605 was pretty toxic before they changed the TIT and added the leukovorin. Gotta run.
Hugs,
Heather and Brianna Kline (ALL-KIDS)

Just stopping by to check on you and say "HI"!!!
I wanted you to know that you are ALWAYS in my thoughts and prayers. You are such a precious family and I know I have told you many, many times...I am truly blessed to have you in my life. Life can be such a challenge sometimes. I will be in clinic this Wednesday and will come find you.
Andrew went to camp today (for 2 weeks) so he will not be with me. Please know you are in his prayers too.

This is my wish for you tonight. I have said this before too, but wanted to repeat if now....
Where there is pain, I wish you peace and mercy.
Where there is self-doubting, I wish you a renewed confidence.
Where there is exhaustion, I wish you understanding, patience, renewed strength.
Where there is sadness and fear, I wish you love and courage.

May God give you each a great big hug!!!

What Gorgeous girls!! Wish I could fly Kelly up here to take pics like that of my boys. Checking in and seeing how everything is going. When you were talking about the cognitive effects of the chemo. I, too, notice some things with Nick. Nick has one more year before the big K. He will start his 2nd year of preschool in the fall. I am hoping that 2 years of preschool will help him keep up with the rest of the kids.

Take Care....and always thinking of ya!

Hi Sarah Anne
Hope you had a wonderful July 4th and you and your family had lots of fun. Fireworks are so pretty aren't they !They kinda scare my friend Petey though because he doesn't like loud noises too much. Drop by and visit Petey sometime he has some really neat pictures in his album you might enjoy. And there are also some stories about him which may make you smile. The stories are in the Christmas section mostly. There is also a story about a raccoon which is kinda neat The stories were specially written for my grandchildren but I know they would love to share them with you and Emma Grace. Maybe your Daddy can bring you girls by to visit when you all have time. Tell your Daddy to just click on this link http://www.slimsplace.com and you will find us.

Petey and I are sending you a great big hug from Canada.

Hi,

You know I use to worry alot of the late effects. I learned about all the chemo's Holly was on. I know that they can cause so many problems with the heart, lungs, liver and development. I still continue to pray for total body healing. I trust God that His healing will be totally. There is a great site on the web with the chemo's broke down. I'll try to email to you soon. In God We Trust. I am so happy that Sarah is doing so great. Not to much longer and the chemo monster will all be over.

Aloha, Sarah Anne and family! We've been traveling for several weeks and away from the computer. So happy to read that Sarah Anne is doing well. I relate to your fears of cognitive effects resulting from chemo. I think about it often but, like you, am just relieved that she's doing well and is with us. We have had a very "interesting" trip so far - are in NY via HI, CA, FL, GA, and have just finished a trip up the coast including an unexpected hospital stay in PA due to a fever - (IV antibiotics and still not sure if it's bacterial or viral) - also she fell off the bed at my mother's house and fractured her wrist so we got to visit the ER in S.C. But happy to report that she is doing well and we are going to see fireworks tonight. Steve - I think you are on the ALL-KIDS support group - can you say "HI" for us and let them know she's well? I sure do miss my support group. Love the new pictures of your beautiful girls. All the best for our babies. Will check in again when I can. Have a great 4th!!!!

HI guys, glad to hear all is well there!
Before Ron starts kindergarten this fall, I had him tested by the school. His speech was fine (he had been in speech therapy up until 3 years old) but he tested behind in pretty much everything else. His sisters started Kind. knowing how to not only write their names, but the alphabet & counted to at least 25. He mastered his name a few months ago. Counting - forget anything past like 5. Even the school said, there is no way to tell if its just him, or chemo related, UNLESS the kids are older & already in school and suddenly start faltering, there really is no way to tell.
So they feel he is NOT behind enough to need any special ed, but they are gonna red flag him to keep an eye on him & intervene asap if he starts falling behind the other kids... But you are right, it is pretty common to have neurological/cognitive effects.. we may never know if our kids' potential has been altered, but you know what, who cares? Our desires for our kids are SO different from the "normal" parent as it is, they have the luxury of ignorance.

Hello Hicks Family,
I just love the beautiful b&w pictures of the girls...they look so sweet in their little dresses. Now I'm jealous, Mr. Steve. Van would be too if he saw them! I better not show him or he'll get ideas. I was going to try to get some b/w of the boys at the beach, but they won't compare. Those sweet little girls are too precious. Anyway, just wanted to let you know that we were thinking of you. God bless and take care.

Hello Hicks Family,
I'm glad we got to see you yesterday, Kelly...but I'm sorry we'll miss Sarah Anne on Wednesday this week. Give her a big hug for us. Can't wait until October...we are going to have SOOOOOOO much fun at Mickey & Minnie's house!!!! I hope Sarah's counts inmprove next week...I suspect that nasty Vincristine for starting Matthew's decline a few weeks ago, coupled with a viral infection. They have been through so much, but the end of treatment is in sight!! Thank you so much for your support this past week. We really needed the encouragement, especially when the talk of the dreaded BMA came up! God bless and take care. You all mean the world to us! Love,

Hey,

I'm jealous Ken wouldn't let us have any Krispy Kremes. We are going to STL the next two weekends. I'm going to get us some Krispy Kremes. Ken just doesn't know it yet. HA HA I am sorry that Sarah Anne got sick on the way to your weekend at the lake. I feel for little Emma too. Watch out for the ticks. They scare me so bad. Happy Birthday, Steven. I hope you enjoyed your day with your girls.

Aloha, Sarah Anne and family. Love the new pictures! Sarah Anne's hair is sooo pretty! Nettie is also on 9605, week 72, and she only now has a nice head of hair, however short. We are on Pred. this week so we're trying to take it easy and just hang out. I'm glad Sarah Anne doesn't have to endure anymore Vinc. - I'm assuming she's done with the steroids, too? It must be such a relief. I'm praying that she continues to do well. Looks like she had a great time at camp. ALOHA!

Mom thank you SO much for emailing me and taking time to reassure me
Let me ask you
has she had any other problems after the bout with ebv? Ron has NOT had a fever at all
he looks better than he has in a LONG time
but then again he has been on antibiotics for 20 of last 30 days due to suddenly recurrent ear infections..and we arent even sure if it IS indeed EBV. I am just glad it is not a relapse, but I dont feel a weight is lifted off like I should, its weird...
My husband thinks I am nuts (over reacting)
but once they tell you your kids name and cancer in the same sentence
its pretty darn hard to relax from there on in!

Kelly and family, Just wanted you to know I stopped by. I read your email this morning and I will respond to it when I get a chance. (BTW Kelly, we met on the CKMB). Sarah Anne is beautiful! I'm so glad to hear things are going well and the end of her treatments are in sight. I can't even begin to imagine traveling the road you have. I know from reading several of your journal entries that God has blessed you with a beautiful family and wonderful friends and support system. I said a prayer for your family this morning and will continue to pray for your family and keep you in my thoughts. Lynne (nujlh or CKMB)

Hey guys,
Just thinking of you all and hoping the prednisone week is going well so far. I am so glad Sarah's treatment went well yesterday. It's like a weight is lifted when that last big dose is over with. No more! Matthew didn't fare so well. I had to bring him back in today for cultures. Neutropenia and fever don't mix, as you know. Please pray that his counts will return to normal...now I'm the one who is stressed this week! Ugh...I know that you know the feeling. God bless and take care.

You have a beautiful daughter - the light of Christ gleams from her eyes. I work with Brynne Bivens, one of the girls running in the marathon for your child. I find it amazing that she is doing so well. We work at the National Multiple Sclerosis Society and although these diseases are very different, I talk to many people that deal with trying situations. I find it amazing that you have had so much strength during this time in your life.

May you continue to have faith and may you continue to see His hand in your life.

God Bless You and Your Family.

I too have 2 daughters: Ellie (4 1/2) and Anna (almost 2) and my heart goes out to you Kelly in all the strength that you have.

What a touching journal entry. I can very much agree with how God has seen us thru also. I can not imagine not being able to depend on Him during the last 2 years. I am so thankful that we do not have to go thru this ordeal alone, we have Him to cast all our cares on. We are blessed to have met your family, someone who can relate to our cares, concerns and fears. We keep your family and precious daughter in our prayers and hope you continue to do well.
God Bless,

Hi,

I loved the soccer pics. Sarah Anne looked so cute sitting between the other team.

Believe me, you are about to enter another season. It was so hard at times to get the fear to step aside. Holly is now one year cancer free off treatment. I don't know how many times we had CBC's because I wanted to know the counts. I can't say there hasn't been times of being scared, but everytime the doctor told us that it was just a normal childhood illness it made me alittle bit stronger. Just remember that ER's are the worst. They don't know your child and they sometimes over kill and it seems to be hard. or it was for me.
I still ask how'd you get that bruise? Which I know Holly is older and easier to talk to. I also know that Sarah Anne is probably alot stronger then most children her age and can tell you by detail where hurts ... If you ever have a question that I can help with e-mail.

I love to come by and visit. I bless you with a wonderful soccer season and spring.

Hello.....
Glad to hear all is well, and Sarah Anne is feeling better. I agree with your fear of finishing treatment. Our Emma is finished in August and although it is exciting, it is also very frightening. I guess the worry will never end. Take care. Your family is in our prayers.
Love,

Hicks family,
Congratulations of week 100!! I love marking those weeks off the roadmap, don't you? Glad to hear camp was fun, even if a stomach bug was running rampant from what I hear. And again, thank you so much for putting our prayer request out there. We know He is in control and have total faith in Him. Maybe I wish He didn't trust me so much sometimes, though! :)

Sarah Anne,

It's so wonderful that you are on the countdown to being off treatment!!!!

I love the soccer picture of you sitting in the middle of all those cute guys! You remind me of my daughter. Most of her best friends are boys. As a matter of fact, she went to a birthday party tonight and was the only girl there. It didn't bother her in the least!

You and your sister are beautiful! Do people ever ask if you and Emma Grace are twins? But, of course, you are older and taller, so maybe not. You are a well-loved young lady - you have had over 18,000 people sign your guestbook! That's amazing! You are in my prayers!

Aloha, Sarah Anne and family. Hope you all had a nice Easter. We had a beautiful one and Nettie had a blast hunting eggs. So glad Sarah Anne continues to do well and tolerates her procedures with such grace and courage. Steven, I know what you mean about it being sad. They should be fighting it because it's not normal. It's like they're resigned to it. At our clinic they call Nettie their "model patient" because she never puts up a fuss about shots, port access, etc. and she usually sleeps through the spinals. At home though she puts up a major fuss about the most minor boo-boo - those kinds of things are still a big deal to her. At least a little scrape is something I can actually do something about. It sounds like you are having a great soccer season. My 8-year old son plays and Nettie can't wait to play as well. I think our programs here only start with age 4. Our next duty station in Georgia has 2 soccer seasons so both kids should get plenty of opportunity to play. Good luck against that purple team!

You and your sister are soooo cute! Your birthday is around
the same time as Mari's. She had a Scooby Doo cake, but she
likes princesses too. mari and her sister Emi, also like
to share a room and they have bunk beds too. It's good to
hear your counts are better. mari's CBC's are all low.
but she acts like nothing is wrong. take care and give everyone hugs from us.

Remember, each day is a day that God has given us, and each moment of that day is in his hands. Sarah Anne (Emma Grace too) is God's little Angel & he will take care of her. If there is anything ever at all that I can do to help, my dear friends, please call on me!!

BLESS YOUR HEARTS!! (I just had to say that!) I am so very glad for you that the prednisone week has ended. My goodness. I trust that this next week will go by with any injuries!...no more car wrecks, and for pete's sake, be careful with that hammer! Matthew got a bump on his head last week and it still hasn't completely gone away. Of course, I thought of you guys and have been over-obsessing (what else is new, right?). We will look forward to seeing you Wednesday with great visits for both. God bless and talk to you soon,

Hi Hicks gang!
Sounds like y'all have been pretty busy....I'm so glad no one was hurt in the accident! We'll be praying specifically for Sarah's counts (how are her liver tests??) and for little Emma's eye (that sounds like "pink eye" to me).

God bless,

May God bless each and every one of you, remember: A merry heart doeth good like a medicine...but a broken spirit drieth the bones. OOXXXOO's, Skeetie

Hey,

I know and feel exactly the same way. I am so in love with Jesus, because I had to totally rely on Him. I was a Christian before Holly got sick, but I'll never be the same again. I worship him all the time. God is the only thing that got Holly through everything. I saw so many miracles in her life. I know Holly is just one of many Jesus's modern day miracles. I saw God heal her when Doctors couldn't explain why she was getting better. I know. God did it. God gives us these trials to make us rely on Him. F. R. O. G. -- Fully Relying On God -- God doesn't always come when we want him, but He'll be there right in time. I know that if God calls her home. Then she is in a better place and I have learned a great lesson on love. I enjoy everyday I have to spend with her. Counting down our two years of clinically cure. I don't really feel I need that, but I would like the Doctors to give me that in writing.

Holly and I continue to pray for Sarah Anne. We will pray for her liver levels tonight specifically.

I am glad that you had a wonderful Thanksgiving. We went and let my mom and family do all the cooking. I got to rest. I am glad that things are still going good for Sarah Anne. I continue to keep her in my prayers.

Hello girls ! What cuties you both are. My (almost) 5 year old son has ALL too. He was diagnosed at 3 1/2. We are in long term maintenance now and have just about 2 more years left of chemo. I wish I knew why so many kids are affected with things kids should NOT have to deal with, but I pray all of you have quick and permanant remissions. And I hope you and your family have a healthy and happy holiday!!!

Hello there Hicks Family!
I am ao happy to hear that you are all doing well and that counts are good. I will be praying for no chicken pox as well! I hope you had a very blessed Thanksgiving and I am doing the "Happy Dance" as your countdown til the end of chemo begins. Only one more year. You will be very surprised at how fast it will go. Brianna is almost 5 full months off treatment and I still can't believe it.
Oh and by the way, you have the most beautiful pictures on your site- I love them! Sarah Anne and Emma Grace are simply darling little angels. I wish everyone from All-Kids could get together in person some time and meet. Wouldn't that be fun!
Well I have to run-training to do!

Hi,

Holly got chicken pox and shingles together back in February, 2001 with good counts and she did fine. They put on some IV med to help dry her up and was fine in about 3 days. I continue to check on Sarah Anne and glad to read that she is doing great. God is so good.

Hi All, If Sarah Anne had to get exposed to the pox, it's good that it was during a time of high counts. I'll say a prayer that she does not get the pox! Kyle's brother, with whom he shares a room, got the flu (diagnosed by his doctor) the past two winters, while Kyle was on chemo., and Kyle didn't get it, so you never know! Congratulations on the new baby cousin! When he gets old enough to be aware, he will really respond to his cousins - they like little people like themselves! Have a good weekend, your friends up in PA, Sue and KyGuy

I can't believe that we have LESS than a year left! YEE-HAW!! We are looking forward to the Camp Christmas Party. Will you sit with us again so Van can get a chance to snuggle Emma?! (baby girl envy). Talk to you real soon. God bless.

Dear Hicks Family you all are in my prayers, here is a special prayer for all of you:
An Irish Blessing
May the blessing of light be upon you,
Light on the outside, Light on the inside.
With God's sunlight shining on you,
May your heart glow with warmth like a turf fire
that welcomes friends and strangers alike.
May the light of the Lord shine from your eyesLike a candle in the window Welcoming the weary traveler.
May the blessing of God's soft rain be on you
Falling gently on your head, refreshing your soul
With the sweetness of little flowers newly blooming.
May the strength of the winds of Heaven bless you
Carrying the rain to wash your spirit clean, Sparkling after in the sunlight.
May the blessing of God's earth be on you.
And as you walk the roads,
May you always have a kind word for those you meet.
May you understand the strength and power of God.
In a thunderstorm in winter.
And the quiet beauty of creation
In the calm of a Summer sunset.
And may you come to realize that,insignificant as you may seem in this great Universe,You "are" an important part
of God's plan.
May he watch over you
and keep you safe from harm.
God Bless

If you go to clinic early on Wednesday morning, we might get to see each other again! We are scheduled to go in at 8:30 am to see if my counts are good enough for chemo. I didn't have to get a bone marrow "aspawashun" today because my counts had gone up a little...yeah! I hope I get to see you...love,

SARAH ANNE, Blessings on you in the Lovely Name of the Lord Jesus. You and your sister are very pretty. Hope you are feeling better. I have two grandchildren in Arkansas who are recovering from a nasty bout with the "C" word, but the Lord is faithful and they, as well as you, are healed, in Jesus Name!! I know you are as loved as Elijah and Hosanna are. Always remember that Jesus and momma always loved you.
In the book of Esther 4:14 it says "who knows if you are come to the kingdom for such a time as this?" We seldom know why things happen, but we can be sure that "all things work together for good to them who love God and are the called according to His purpose" BLESSINGS ON YOU AND YOUR FAMILY IN THE NAME OF THE LORD.

I am writing to you from Children's Hospital. Matthew's fever is gone, but his counts haven't budged from their low points. Everyone is certain that this episode is viral (the "chemo" dance, right). I hope Sarah's prednisone week goes well. We REALLY miss seeing you guys at clinic over the past few weeks. Hope we get back to "normal" soon. God bless.

Matthew's rbc dropped dramatically this week for some reason so he's really worn out and pale. I'm praying he'll be back to "normal" by next week. I'm glad Sarah is feeling well. I'm praying for a healthy, uneventful Fall and Winter!! God bless.

I saw a poem I wanted to share with you...it is titled "God's Rainbow".

Rainbows appear after mighty storms, when things look their very worst.
Just when the skies are darkest gray, look for the rainbow first.
The rainbow is a sign of God's promise, that he will guide us through any storm.
That he will see us through all our troubles, no matter what their form.
So when you feel battered by life's storms, and you are filled with doubt and dismay.
Just remember God's rainbow is coming, it's ony a prayer away.

You are such wonderful parents and even though this journey is not what you had planned... you have so many who love you and want to help support you. You are an inspiration to me and your friendship has taught me so much about life. For that I am thankful!
Love, Linda

By the way, he said to tell Sarah, "Thanks for the dance!" We are due back in clinic tomorrow, so I guess we'll see you Thursday evening at the Light The Night Walk. God bless.

Hi Sarah Anne and family..
What a wonderful website...I LOVED seeing pictures of you and your baby sister - you are as beautiful as I knew you would be.
Keep an eye on that mail box - and never forget that you have an angel watching over you and praying for you. You are going to have such a wonderful blessed life. What fun you have to look forward to - especially once you are all done with your treatments.
Remember.... there is ALWAYS a rainbow after the storm! Your rainbow will be the biggest, most glorious rainbow the Lord has ever created - and it will be all for you.
Love and Hugggggggggggs

Dear Hicks Family,
I'm enclosing a poem that was given to me and thought that you would like it:
I said a prayer for you today, And know God must have heard. I felt the answer in my heart, Although He spoke not a word. I didn't ask for wealth or fame (I knew you wouldn't mind), I asked for priceless treasures rare, Of a more lasting kind. I prayed that He'd be near you, At the start of each new day, To grant you health and blessings fair, And friends to share your way. I asked for happiness for you, In all things great and small, But that you'd know His Loving care, I prayed the most of all.

I believe this sums up how we feel. May the stars whisper your name each night, and bring you closer to health with each new day.
Love, Laura and Randy

YOU ARE A SUPER STAR!! What a big girl you were today for your back stick! I believe that God himself is holding your little hands when you have to get all of this yucky stuff done. Because of your amazing faith in Him, you are one of my favorite heroes, little girl. I am so glad that we got to see you and your family today. You are special friends and you are very close to our hearts. WE LOVE YOU!

She started planning her party two weeks ago. I think she's pretty excited. You keep being strong and brave(I saw your hospital pictures) Your pictures always make us smile. Give your family a hug from us. Bye

hey hicks family! This is kellie picone from camp smile-a-mile. I hope that sarah anne and your whole family are doing great! I just had to tell you all about a recent experience I had. I participated in the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society's Team in Training marathon in Anchorage alaska on June 23. It was an amazing experience and people from all over were rooting little sarah anne on! All of the members of the Tuscaloosa team had pictures of Sarah anne attached to their jerseys! Your little girl reminded thousands of runners and walkers what it was that we were running for! Our nationwide team raised over 7 million dollars for Leukemia research and patient aid. The "purple army" is doing its best to get rid of this dreadful disease! I just wanted to let ya'll know that Sarah anne was with us as we put are bodies to the test in Anchorage. But we never forgot that our pain was nothing compaired to what you all have gone through! God bless Sarah Anne and the rest of your family. I am so thankful that we have an awesome God who heals!

Dear Hicks' family,

Have a WONDERFUL time at the beach! I'm quite jealous...we don't go on our vacation for 3 more weeks because Ross is still playing baseball!! I hope that Emma's arm is doing better, and am so thankful Sarah Anne had a good visit. You are right....we are really blessed to have such wonderful doctors and nurses at Clinic 5.

God bless,

I am so glad you came to visit Holly's site. Your faith for the Lord shows through your writings. Jesus love his little children. I liked what you wrote about God wants us to be like Jesus. I will have to use that. There was a time in the hospital Holly and I would sing "He's Still Working on Me". I will continue to look in on Sarah Anne.
Have fun at the beach.

Hi, Sara Anne. I just read all your updates. I have to admit, it has been a while since I have had time to do that. I can't wait to see you on Friday. I know you're probably not excited about the "Big Day", but I will try to make it go as smoothly as possible. I have missed you the last two weeks with my trips to Camp Smile-A-Mile and Sunshine Kids. I spent two whole weeks away from home doing one of the things I love, spending time with kids with cancer. I really missed my wife and two little girls, though. I'll see you Friday. Love, Richard (your favorite Nurse Practitioner...I hope).

Hello to the Hicks family,
I'm glad to hear you are back on track. Mari just
finished her two week break from everything, and we
go into the hospital tomorrow for 3 days of Chemo.
Mari had nurse maids elbow just before she turned
two. She did the same thing as Emma. Mari didn't
cry, I just noticed after her nap she wasn't using her
right arm, after 6 hours with the clinic and the ER
they were able to fix it. I've been following the fever
scare on the all-kids list. I'm glad it's gone. We wish
you the best for your vacation, Dex and all. Take care.

Yippeeeee!!! We are so happy to hear that your counts were up enough to restart chemo! Emma just finished her last dose of steroid for this month and she has been kind of grumpy. We hope you have a wonderful time at the beach and that you don't get too grumpy. We are also praying for Emma's elbow. Have a wonderful, well deserved vacation.

Hi Sarah Anne, We hope your fever goes away real soon.
Mari had one a couple of weeks ago and we had to spend 2 nights in the hospital. Her heartrate jumped up to 220 at its highest and
she needed oxygen the first night. They think it was from the
Dexamethasone. But she is doing ok now. She had a unit of
blood last week because her counts were down, but she's back
at school (not my idea, hers and the doc's) Tomorrow she will go
to the zoo with her class. A very special thing happened a couple
of weeks ago. Mari was selected to help celebrate a very special
little girls birthday. Her name was Molly now she is referred to as
Angel Molly. Her family and friends donate all the presents that
would've gone to her to a child with cancer . It was the birthday
party Mari should've had if we hadn't been in the hospital. We've
been blessed to have met so many wonderful people since dx
especially precious little girls like you. You stay strong and hang
in there. So many people are thinking of you and praying for you.

My big brother decided to see if a popcorn kernel would fit in his ear...it did, so we had to go to Children's yesterday and get it removed by an EMT in Clinic 4. I went ahead and got my shot since we were already there. I hope your visit went well today. Are you going to Camp this weekend? If not, we will miss you terribly.

Sarah Anne...I was so excited to see the picture of you in the Barbie jeep. You have told me so much about it, so it was great to see you and Emma in it. You are such a precious little girl! I loved playing with you and the rest of the gang and look forward to playing again. You have such a wonderful imagination...Madeline, Madeline!(Do you remember singing that?) I promise next time to have the TV ready so we can watch movies too. Be sweet to your Mom and Dad ...for they love you so much!!!
And to you Kelly and Steven...even through this difficult time always remember how truly blessed you are. Just look at those smiles in that Barbie jeep. I know that my life is more blessed to see them! Love, Linda

Hi, Sarah Anne, This is Mari's mom. We wanted to say Thank You!
for visiting Mari's web page. It sounds like you had some fun recently at camp. Kelly and Steve, we're praying for you all. I can't
count the times that I wished the doctors would come back and tell
me that all Mari had was ITP. I know a couple of people with children with this condition, I'll see what I can find out. Take care of yourselves. We'll keep in touch.

I am sorry I didn't notice my typo on my earlier guestbook entry. I am sure you know that I meant to say "Hang IN there" instead of hang it there. I am thinking of Sarah Anne constantly. That is what I do when things like this happen. I pray the BMA will be negative and I will try to find some info on ITP as well to help you out.

More pray-ers for you from a friend of Shelby Batley's mom... I also had a friend whose son had osteogenic sarcoma who is doing great now. All those medical terms are hauntingly familiar, but becoming "just a memory" now for us. This mom would dream of and long for the days when things would be "normal" again and those days are finally here. My prayers are that you too will see your daughter running across the yard with her friends, just being a kid and think back to these long, tough days and say, "remember when...?"

you've been having fun with your sister. Mari would like to know
if Sarah Anne like to color. Drawing and coloring are her favorite
things to do. Please visit mari's page at caringbride.com/or/marisjourney. We hope everything will go well
next week when Daddy is away. Our papa just came back from

April 18th. I can't wait to give you a tour. Andrew say's "Hi". He said to tell you a runny nose is much better than vomitting!!! So if you need some help let him know! Call me and let's meet at the park (if it ever stops raining!!) Love, Linda

Dear Steven and Kelly,

It was a pleasure visiting your website for Sarah Anne. Your simple telling of your story, laced with your great faith was a privilege to read and I thank you for putting it on the web, where another will be encouraged. I absolutely loved the pictures you chose! All 3 are very sweet, but it was the middle one that had me really chuckling, as my 17 yr old daughter just dyed her hair a peachy orange and I remember the days when shocking hair color was simply a clip on! I look forward to visiting you again.

Sarah Anne,
I pray that by now, Friday, you are home. I was sad to read that you had to be admitted. But sometimes the hospital is the best place to be when you have low counts even though it is tough on the family. I pray that it is viral and that you don't have to have your port replaced or anything. I will check back soon sweetie.
Hang in there everyone!

Hello Hicks Family...I am so sorry we missed you today at clinic. You know how we like to get "in and out" early. We certainly missed your smiles...and the prednisone grumpies are almost over. Matthew was throwing a fit today at my church and I was beginning to lose patience when our dear, sweet maintenance man said "At least he's here to do that"...and I thought how true. Every moment, no matter how frustrating it might be, is PRECIOUS! We love you guys. Stay strong and keep the faith, because God is faithful.

Hello Sarah Anne, Steven, Kelly, and Emma,
Just a note to say Hello, and that we are praying for you. We pray that you have a good week and that the drugs only do what they are supposed to do, and there are no side effects or pain. Our Emma gets "the works" for the next 8 weeks. We have had a little break (interim maintenance) for the last 8 weeks and have been spoiled. She gets a spinal tap tomorrow, and will start on the steroids for too. 7 days on, 7 days off, then 7 days on again. She calls them the "wukky medicine". We pray that you get through your week of "wukky medicine" with no pain or grumpies. Take care. Emma sends a hug!!
Love, Your friends,
Tammy, Ron, and Emma Hall

Hey Sarah Anne, My little girl turns 4 today and she wanted you to know that she prays for you every night at bed time (her name is Ashlyn). I know for sure that the Host of Heaven rejoices over the prayers of Children. So every night about 8:30 remember that a very sweet little girl like yourself is lifting your name before the Lord, and that Jesus is sending bands of Angels to minister to you and your family.

Hi! I found your site thru squirrels nuts. My grandson Chance has the same diagnose as you. I wish you a speedy recovery and may your days be filled with sunshine. Chance was really young when he was first diagnosed. He will soon be undergoing a bmt in OK. (Feb.2nd) It is very rough and all we can do is take each day and value it for the moment.
Chance has a website. It is http://members.tripod.com/~mistamar2u/EnterChancezBattle.html I am hoping that people in the same situation of ours drops by, as his parents read the guestbook (prayerbook)whenever they get the chance! Peace and hope and faith be with you!

Sarah Anne, Hi, you have never met me but I have been praying for you almost every day since last Spring. So has my church and my family. Your mommy is my cousin, though I haven't seen her in a very long time, but she is very special to us. You are an incredible and super girl! I know Jesus loves you so much to let you be such an important part of encouraging others. Thank you for being a good example of how we all should be. My little girl, Allie, wants to play with you! I guess she is your second-cousin, huh? Let's do that. Kelly, I love you, and am so sorry I haven't been in touch before now. I can assure you, however, that there hasn't been a day that your family hasn't been on my mind or IN MY PRAYERS.

Kelly, I found your webpage on our dear friend, Claire's! My son was diagnosed with ALL on Jan. 18, 2000. Claire and her mom, Lynne, have been our most ardent supporters. Sounds like you all have had a tough winter, but things are pulling together now...it is a rocky road with some easy times and some rough ones, but we all grow through this experience. I have two other children and I have watched them grow and mature into wondeful boys through this. They are far more compassionate and sensitive than they ever might have been. I am proud of who they are becoming and how they support their little brother though I know at times this is harder on them. Ben is in the best possible hands, so often I worry about his siblings. We are just trying to get through it together. The online support network has been incredible for me. I wish you and your family the very best and will now include you in our prayers. We will continue to check on you and feel free to check Ben's site. Ellen

Kelly, I went down and found Sue's name so she must be the connection. Yes it sounds like our roads are very similar. It is a long road and 2 1/2 years sounds like forever but it isn't! We are into single digits with the number of clinic visits left and only 3 spinal taps to go. It always helps to find others out there who are traveling this road. If ever we can do anything just let us know. Lynne

I'm a friend of Rob & Amy, and have followed Sarah Anne's progress with much interest. I just read in the journal portion of the website how much you want to keep Sarah Anne's immune system strong. Have you heard of Juice Plus+ Gummies and Chewables? These are doctor-recommended natural immune builders for children--and they really work!! The benefits have been proven with scientific research. This coming Tues. evening (Nov. 14) there will be a presentation at St. Vincent's about it. I would be happy to give you the particulars. Please contact me via e-mail or at (205) 836-0772!

Hey Guys!!! I'm sorry today was a little rough. You're so sweet to worry about me when I know how much you must worry about Sarah Anne. Don't ever worry about making me nervous during procedures. I'm so used to this kind of stuff that it comes natural. It's not always easy and I really hate to do it to the kids but I know how important it is. That's what keeps me going. Anyway, I'm so happy that Sarah Anne is doing so well. I feel lucky that I get to "take care" of her and you guys.

I have just prayed through the items you mentioned in your update. I see God's hand so clearly as He has led and sustained you. I know what it is to hear those little comments like, "Now I can run and play." I have had those little tears well up in my heart through these years with Lucy. But praise God, His economy of life events uses every minute of all we go through as precise building blocks to conform us to His image. He wastes not a thing, but uses it all. God was good the day He revealed Lucy's and Sarah Anne's troubles, and He is good today as He brings you to the end of this section of treatment. He may change His tools, but He never changes His goal of conforming us to His image. Thank heavens. We send our love and continuing prayers!
