Update 3/17/09

Hello everyone...

First off I want to thank EVERYONE from our NAC church family in Peoria, IL for all of the cards and monitary donations my mom received from you on Sunday. Many of you know that we are definitely going through some rough times right now with her being sick and not being able to work, so this lifted a huge stress off of her shoulders. I don't think I could even explain to you the glow I saw in her eyes when she knew she wasn't going to have to struggle to make the house payment and other bills this month. I, along with my mom and brother and sister, definitely appreciate all of the thoughts, prayers, and cards you have sent our way over the past months, weeks, and days. Although this is a terrible cancer and one that is yet to have a cure, my family has not given up hope and neither has she. We continue to fight this cancer and pray each and every day. If there is going to be a cure to this cancer, it is going to be God hearing all of our prayers and working a miracle. :) It can happen!

In other news...HAPPY ST. PATRICK'S DAY TO ALL! I am currently in St. Louis visiting my family (my grandma, Uncle Wayne, Aunt Joyce, and Tyler and Brittany), and my mom is in Chicago meeting with doctors, getting test results from last week's CT scan, and having another treatment. As soon as I hear from you, I will update you with the results...

All I can ask from everyone that wants to help in any way at all is to KEEP PRAYING! If enough of us send prayers her way, I think we might make a difference! :)

Thank you again to everyone who has sent cards, thoughts, prayers, money, and food our way! :)
