New Year, Fresh Start

I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas.  We were very busy but took some much needed time to spend together with family and just the three of us.  I think everyone was much more at ease after receiving the good news from her pathology report.  We actually got two weeks off from the doctor during break and Calleigh had a two week break from therapy.  I just let her rest.  She works so hard everyday I felt like she deserved time to rest and continue to heal.  Calleigh had a big Christmas.  I don't think Santa realized how much he had brought her until he unpacked it from his sleigh.  Her favorite Christmas gifts were Wonderheart CareBear and Hungry Hungry hippos.  She's enjoyed playing with Play-Doh and princess legos since Christmas.

We were all ready to say goodbye to 2014.  This has been the hardest year of our entire lives.  I hate this year with a passion.  I grieve. every. single. day for what it did to Calleigh.  But I also celebrate how our faith in God is stronger, our marriage is stronger, and our commitment to beating this fight is resolute.  With all hopes our chemo journey will end this year in the fall.  

Calleigh will go into the hospital next Monday for her 3rd round of chemo.  This will be the first B round she will get.  She will be in the hospital for at least three days.  Please pray for her that she remains calm and for us that we can comfort her and keep her entertained.  She gets tired of staying there and wants to be home.  Please also continue to pray that this posterior fossa syndrome will be resolved this year.  I am claiming that she can be fully restored and I am drawing a big circle around her issues and giving them to God.  

We read this Sunday and it is so true.  He goes before us in all things and will make a path.  I know we would not be here and most definitely Calleigh would not be here without the grace of God.  He has his angels surrounding her and carrying her through.
Please continue to pray for us as we get back into the routine of school and then for Lance as he begins traveling again in February.  Please pray also for us all to remain healthy, but especially Calleigh so that she is not compromised more than necessary.  Happy New Year!
