Conquering Neuroblastoma

“Faith in something greater than ourselves enables us to do what we have said we'll do, to press forward when we are tired or hurt or afraid, to keep going when the challenge seems overwhelming and the course is entirely uncertain.”
President Gordon B. Hinckley

November 22, 2007 Update



Not much to report today. Lukas FINALLY woke up from surgery yesterday! He is still kind of sore, but he's been up and out of bed being held, and also jumping around in his bed. Tomorrow starts chemo, so we don't want visitors until further notice. We have also decided that we don't want children up here, due to the fact that Lukas' immune system will be shot. We don't want to take ANY chances with him getting sick.

Also, my sister-in-law is ordering bracelets. The silicone ones. They will be gold to represent the color for Neuroblastoma and childhood cancer with blue and silver to represent coping with cancer... She is going to put "Lukas 11-19-07" (date of diagnosis) and on the other side "This SUCKS!" because it just does. She wants to sell them for $4 to help Kurt and I with expenses of meals and gas back and forth from the hospital and such. But, what we don't use, I want to give to Relay.

If any of you are looking for something to do to help us, PRAY!!! And, if you are able, please go to the Temple for us. I don't know when we'll be able to go in the near future, so if any of you can do that, we would appreciate it more than you know!

That's all from us for now. We'll give another update further into this, I just don't know when. Thank you all for your prayers and visits and thoughts and gifts.
