Praise God!

We got wonderful news this morning! Eden has less than 1% bad cells left!!!! This does not change the "plan" regarding the next couple of years; however, we consider this a HUGE win in her daily battle! Thank you for your prayers - we truly count on you in the trenches with us.

So, we are up in Iowa City now. She had chemo today and will be admitted for tonight and tommorrow. This is NOT a reflection that Eden is doing poorly, merely just part of the protocol. However, they did start a different chemo today, so we would like to ask for prayer specifically pertaining to how her little body handles this new round. (ie - no icky sickies, please)

We appreciate your prayers and God's grace. We will keep you posted. . .

  2. Hello Selena, Kurt and Lil Eden! I am in Colorado visiting Jami, Nate, Michael and of course Samalama. This last weekend we spent the day on the slopes of Snowmass skiing. It was glorious!!! As I was on top of the mountain my thoughts and a few prayers were for you!!!!

    Did you really get a BIG piano? Oh my goodness what an awesome addition to your home! Your life as Eden grows up will be full of so much joy. Music by morning and mountain biking by afternoon!

    I miss you guys! You should come out for a visit! I would love it so much!

    By the way...Eden you look so beautiful with your short curls. Now you look like my Amanda.

    Lots of love, hugs and kisses all the way from Colorado. I'll be home tomorrow and I hope we can see you soon!

    Thank you so much Kurt and Selena for your blog posts because it keeps those of us who love you informed and we love hearing the litle stories of Eden's day. "where does Daddy work...H".

I know it sounds like a long journey ahead of you, but trust me when I say that it does go fast and you will be done with treatments before you know it! Be thankful for your wonderful news and celebrate each triumph in your new journey!

  7. That is the BEST news! You and God have made our day! Keep up the good work!

    It is so fun to read the stories of Little Eden's personality and abilities out-shining the side-effects! She's going to continue to raise the "bar" very high! So we pray on!
