Hope, Faith, and The Grace of God

You'll never believe where we are going... Your prayers and faith have made it possible for my little family to be together in our own home tonight.

Jace received chemo this morning, and we were discharged after they observed him for a few hours. We will be giving his meds to him over the weekend, and won't go back to Primary Children's until Monday. That means four nights in our own beds. Sooooooo...all of you faithful followers....is now a good time to ask you to let us rest? Heheh. We want to see all of you so much, but Jace is officially immuno-compromised. That means, his immune system is not capable of functioning properly. We have to keep him from being exposed to any kind of infection or sickness.


With that said, let me express our deepest, most sincere thanks we can offer. We know it is through the entire community of family, friends, Hibbard wards and others, HK, Madison School District, and everyone else praying, that our little Jace isn't sitting in a hospital bed right now. We have a long road ahead of us, but we know with your support we are going to win this battle with Leukemia. (When I get weak and have days of doubt please remind me how strong I'm feeling now. )


This morning the Salt Lake Fire Department came to Primary Children's Hospital for Jace. They let him get in their truck, start the engine and blow the horn. As he sat in the driver's seat I thought of all the effort the firemen made to get to the hospital, and I knew I could times that by ten to compare it to what is happening in our own community. Thank you, thank you.

When Jace climbed out of the fire truck he looked west over Salt Lake. He reached his arms up for me to carry him, and as I gathered him he whispered in my ear, "Mom, look at the view." I nodded with tears in my eyes knowing his sweet spirit will carry him. The view is sometimes clouded with hospital walls, but not tonight. Tonight we will be home...and very grateful.
