We hope that this update finds you well and blessed.  Tomorrow is a very special day in our lives.  Tomorrow marks one year after we discovered that Erin Hope had cancer.  We're updating you so that you can join with us in celebration of a years' journey that has brought much sadness, yet so much joy. 
 
We never dreamed that so many would be so kind and concerned for her and our family.  We never knew that so many would be so dedicated to take her needs to the Lord Jesus in prayer.  And, we never before truly realized the mighty power of a loving, living Savior that has been by our side and leading our paths down this unforgettable journey.  Thank you so much!!!
 
Thanks also goes to the gifted doctors, nurses, therapists, and others that were and are still involved in her care at the Brenner's Children's Hospital, which is a part of North Carolina Baptist Hospital.  Miracles do happen there!
 
Erin Hope will have another CT scan this coming Tuesday.  We need for you to pray diligently that this scan brings good news.  We would like to see that the cancer lesions are gone, or at least not any worse.  We have really been concentrating our efforts on Erin Hope's nutrition to build up her immune system so she can fight this. 
 
School starts this next week for Erin Hope and her sister.  Please pray for their safety.  Erin Hope also is at the point to where hearing aides would be helpful to her in communicating effectively.  She will need a comprehensive hearing exam sometime in the near future to more effectively evaluate her needs.
 
Thanks again to all of you for praying.  May the Lord Jesus bless you and keep you in these days.  He is worthy of all our praise!
 
God bless you!
 
God is good...ALL the time!!!
 
Stand Strong!!
