Praise the Lord

Audrey had routine scans and a check up yesterday. She did an amazing job sitting still for her MRI and was patient and calm with the various pokes she had.

The oncologist called this morning and Audrey remains cancer free! We praise God for these results. There is a certain heaviness that can come with waiting for the results, but a friend sent a verse yesterday and it was a great reminder of God's truth:

"Behold, God is my salvation; I will trust, and will not be afraid; for the Lord God is my strength and my song, and he has become my salvation.” Isaiah 12:2

It is a wonderful promise to know we have salvation through Jesus. We are incredibly thankful for His sacrifice and can rest in Jesus' love for us. We know He loves Audrey very much.

In the next month, we will go back down to the hospital to continue to check on the healing of Audrey's mouth. She has been doing great with everything. Audrey's endurance and character continues to show how the Lord has been there right with us.

Thank you for praying for Audrey. Looking forward to a summer building memories and exploring the outdoors :)

From the book-Treasuring Christ, by: Gloria Furman

Christ is our righteousness, and he is the same yesterday and today and forever (Heb. 13:8). So we dare not place our trust in the best day ever or the sweetest frame of emotions; neither should we tremble because we had the worst day ever or the sorest disposition. We delight in Jesus who has become to us wisdom from God, our righteousness and sanctification and redemption ( 1 Cor. 1:30). Our delight in Jesus overflows into praise, and the spirit bears his fruit in our lives so that God gets the glory.

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 ...

Jesus remains the same 💛

On June 17th, we learned that the cancer Audrey has been battling for 5 years remains, this is after 2 years of chemo, 2 courses of radiation and local surgeries to remove it.  At this point her team has said there are no curative options. Chemotherapy and radiation could possibly slow the process down, but would likely pose more issues than help. Another extensive surgery could also slow down the process, but would only further complicate Audrey's eye and nose issues. We have decided to let Audrey enjoy life without intense medical intervention. We have had some tough decisions these last few weeks, and have cried tears, but have also been at peace with the fact Audrey's faith in Christ is strong. She has even spoken about heaven and our perfect bodies 💛 Audrey has been full of energy, playing, eating well and enjoying life as an 8 year old. While we don't know exactly what the future holds or the timeline, we will rest in the fact that Jesus is the same yesterday, today ...
