"Sarah
was diagnosed with Neuroblastoma on February 23, 2005, after several weeks of intense pain and lethargy with no known cause.
Her right hip had completely disintegrated, even though an X-ray taken in January was clear. She had a large tumor in her
chest cavity, which wasn’t attached to any organs. She began chemotherapy the following week. She was unable to walk
until July, when her hip had fused well enough to support her 40 pounds. She has had 6 rounds of chemotherapy, two surgeries,
and 12 hospitalizations at TC Thomspon Children’s Hospital in Chattanooga. She had two surgeries, chemotherapy, and a
stem cell transplant at Egleston in Atlanta. She is currently
on her last therapy, which is Accutane, which we will complete in April. Right now she is well, is attending school for half-days,
and greatly enjoyed our trip to San Diego which was sponsored
by the Make-A-Wish foundation. Through God’s grace and healing, we are enjoying a sense of boring normalcy in our lives."

Ashton is 7 years old and attends Calhoun Elem. School. His family has recently moved to the Fairmount/Sonoraville
area, but kept the children in the same school to try to keep things as normal for the kids as possible. Ashton has
just recently relapsed with hodgkins lymphoma and is being treated at TC Thompsons and St. Jude. He has an older sister
and a younger brother. As you can see from his picture he's quite a cutie.....
I adopted Andruw S. from Hugs N Hope for his birthday. Hugs and Hope is a not for profit organization that supports
families with sick children through a letter writing campaign. They also send gifts for birthdays and christmas.
Andruw S. is the second child we have helped through Hugs N Hope.
Phillip needed asthma medication....so the foundation helped out!
