Michaela and family,

This is a survivor page; there's no new disease here. Don't think it, expect it, except it or speak it. This little princess is going to be just fine.

I pray the Lord Jesus speak life and health back into this situation and into Michaela's body. I pray you give wisdom to the doctors to identify and treat this condition today.

I ask for agreement in prayer that peace and comfort come to the family as they wait for the results that match the Lord's report. Lord bless them this moment with a peace that surpasses all of our human understanding. Shine your face upon each of them as they seek the comfort that only you can provide.

Remind them father: "I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me." John 14:6 You created us all, you know the number of hairs on our heads and the paths we will take. Order our steps to you for life and life more abundantly.

I pray in the name of Jesus.

Jen, Try to take deep breaths and go through your daily routines till those Feb. scans. Odds are pretty high that it's NOT cancer. But after going through what you've been through I know (first hand) how hard it is to stay focused on the "odds". I would think that if those growth injections were going to cause anything it'd take alot longer than this...wouldn't you think?

I know that the next scan date seems like forever away but it'll be here before you know it and you'll get the "good" news that you are wanting.

I'll be watching for updates.
Hugs

Punkin, what arre you trying to do to us? You know no matter what happens we are a very strong family and we can beat anything. I pray for you and your family everyday. You are my lil punkin and nothing is going to take you down. Love you much. By the way Jen, I would like a phone call when these kind of things happen, now since we don't have our daily e-mail chats. Call me any time but expecially when something like this happens.

Darling Michaela, You don't know me, but I am a nurse from Texas, who met your mom and dad on the Internet. Your mom gave me your web page address, and now that I have read all about you, I feel as if I might know you. You are beautiful, and I am so proud for you and your family, that you have been able to beat this cancer! What a long road it was to get you to the end, but it all paid off, didn't it? You are an incredible inspiration to others and I know that God has such a special plan for you in your life. I am so proud to know all about you, and without my ever seeing you in person, or hearing your precious voice, you have touched my heart deeply. May God forever hold you in his arms ever so tightly, and bring only sunshine into your life every day for the next 100 years! All my love, Patti

Let me just say that I know what you are going through & my prayers are with you all. My daughter (now 5) was diagnosed at the age of 3 as well. She was a perfectly healthy 3 year old & she started dropping things on the floor. We immediately took her to the doctor & they said that nothing was wrong. Within the week she got so bad that we took her to Children's Hospital where she was immediately admitted. Lindsey is currently in remission (thank God) after a year of chemo & radiation. However, due to the cancer Lindsey now cannot see. We do an awful lot of praying. We are currently searching for eye doctors that might be able to help her. Please keep her in your prayers that we will be able to find help for her soon.

Her illness started in Feb of 99 and ended when it claimed her life Oct. 14, 1999...It was very fast and aggressive and it attacked the brain stem. She was only three years old.

Hi Michaela and family,
Just wanted you to know I'm cheering for you guys today! I hope everything goes well for you! I found some more jokes, these are from kids that were sent to the Rosie O'Donnell Show. Here goes: What is the tallest building in your city? The library-it has the most stories. (You gotta love that one!) What's the easiest way to get on tv? Sit on it. (Don't try that at home) Ha ha ha.

Good job Michaela! I knew you could beat this if you kept up your good spirits. I'm truly amazed at how you bounce back after your counts were so low. One left. I can't believe your pain and suffering is almost done. Just think, though, of how much your parents have learned and how they and most of the rest of us have realized NEVER to take life for granted. I love you sweetheart.

Reading your mother's journal entries has helped a lot and given us hope. Michaela, you sound a lot like my niece. She likes McDonalds and Rugrats too, and is fiesty. Hang in there, you are almost done. My prayers are with you and your family for a quick recovery.

We offer Emotional, and financial help; as you well know one parent needs to quit their job and the expenses just seem to grow. I love my job and These families I have been working with all these years have become a part of my own family.

I know its tough to be sick like you are. My husband Randy has cancer, and he has to have chemo treatments. He gets pretty sick too. The few days after chemo are no fun- but we always remember its only for a few days and when he feels better- we go and do something fun! You should try it, it makes us feel better! I'm hoping that you get well and stay well- Take Care and God Bless you! TERRI

I am so sorry I missed you at the airport. I've been very busy getting ready for Christmas. I hope you'll be able to come over on Sunday and watch the Vikings game with us. There will be LOTS of food! Kayla is very anxious to see you. She told her teacher that "Today is the day Michaela comes home". She even told it to our neighbors! Take care sweetie!

Greetings. So glad to hear all is going well. Thank goodness. Glad to hear you have made some new friends and can network with others in similar situations. Also, good idea to print out the guest book and stuff. Hope you took some pictures in Boston too. It will be good to have this later on when Pooh is older. My daughter, Holly, had extensive hip surgery from ages 3-7 and we kept a scrapbook for her from the beginning. She recently thanked me for it because parts of it she couldn't remember. (She's almost 21 now.)

Say Jenn, I talked to someone from your office this week. They said if you need more hours, they'd be glad to donate more. What a great group you have up there.

Will continue to remember everyone in our prayers and send lots of love and hugs. Thela

Hello everyone. I printed out the questbook, which was 22 pages long, and put it in Michaela's baby book. I deleted it and we are going to start over! Thanks for all your comments.
