Another one down

Audrey left this morning for another round of chemotherapy. Her lab work looked good, so we thank God for that. She had a CT this morning in preparation for radiation therapy. All went well and Audrey continues to be in good spirits! The plan is for Audrey to go back to school tomorrow. She is looking forward to getting back to see her teacher and friends.

Next up will be another chemo infusion Monday, January 10th. Audrey has another MRI scheduled for Tuesday, January 11th in the morning. This time the plan is to complete it without anesthesia! We appreciate your prayers over this. 

We will be heading down to Cincinnati on Sunday, January 16th. The plan is to be down there until late February. 


We cannot express how our faith in God changes everything. We know Jesus has conquered the world and we have peace in that. While we may have trials, we can find our strength in Christ Jesus. This is a process and we are thankful for how God shows us his faithfulness through it all. There are many ways we have witnessed this ourselves.

We Walk By Faith

 Audrey is continuing to hold on with the strength that is left. She is tired, weak and sleeps most of the time. We can continue to praise God she has no pain. Audrey has her routine, though most of it consists of sleeping. She enjoys a little chocolate milk, a yogurt smoothie, some applesauce and maybe some small bites of food here and there. With that said, eating and drinking is becoming more difficult, but Audrey manages with some assistance and help.   Benjamin, Hannah and Emma continue to do well with this season we are in. They display loving hearts, asking if Audrey needs anything, praying for her and just sitting near her. We are so grateful for the tenderness they show Audrey and the peace they have knowing Audrey will likely be with Jesus soon.  2 Corinthians 5:1- 10 For we know that when this earthly tent we live in is taken down (that is, when we die and leave this earthly body), we will have a house in heaven, an eternal body made for us by God himself an...

Eternal Perspective

 We have officially returned from Michigan and we were incredibly thankful for this time together as a family. Overall Audrey had a good time. Audrey has dealt with some bleeding over the last few weeks around the tumor site. We have added some medical intervention, which seems to help. She is also dealing with some difficulty sleeping. Hospice care will now make weekly visits with the advancement of the tumor. Audrey's overall energy has decreased quite significantly over the last week. She still enjoys order and her schedule :)  Audrey is still pain free, so we can rejoice in that. She is eating and drinking normally, another praise. We are fixing are minds and hearts on Christ Jesus, remembering this is all very temporary. Death is something we will all experience and for those who know and love Jesus as the personal savior will experience the ultimate peace in eternity with Him.  It is important to us as followers of Christ that we highlight this truth because we have...

He is With You

 About a month has passed since our last update-Audrey continues to do well despite daily challenges. The cancer is continuing to spread, unfortunately this is something we can see visually. The tumor is now covering nearly her entire left eye and continues to grow outward. Audrey has not complained to this day. Her strength is inspiring to say the least.  Audrey will have another nasal endoscopy this upcoming Tuesday. We are thankful this will likely relieve her sinuses. We are still under the impression nothing can be done externally. Palliative care has visited to simply put eyes on Audrey. We have been incredibly thankful she continues to have no pain. We have even visited with a social worker who has helped make a meaningful craft to build memories. Audrey continues to play outside, make beautiful drawings, go on walks, rest with Coco, read books on the couch, play Zelda and Mario Cart with her sisters and the list goes on. SO thankful for that. We have decided to pursue ...
