Aksel turns 5 & update

My eldest, Aksel turned 5 this week.  He is a cinco de mayo baby and this was his golden birthday!  This video is a compilation from the weeks events... including his first ride on his new bike.  Aksel, Emery and Madsen miss you grandpa and grandma!  We can't wait to see you for Mother's Day!!! Madsen will be able to meet grandma and grandpa at last!  XOXO

Update:  Today was a hard day for mom, dad and our family.  We discovered that mom's pneumonia seems to have resolved, however her lymphoma has spread to her lungs.  This is evidence that the T-cell lymphoma is indeed continuing to spread.  She will not be able to come home from the hospital as she has started a 4 day intensive chemo today called EPOCH (4 day chemo, 2 weeks off).  This will not cure her, but rather we are praying that she can gain strength under this new 4 month process in order to see if she can be a candidate for the T-cell transplant.

Prayer Requests:
~ Strength for mom and dad as they are tired and mom longs to be home
~ Quality of life after the chemo would allow her to feel better in-between treatments
~ Pray she responds to this new chemo and that it would keep the lymphoma from spreading
~ Pray for all the family as our hearts continue to break with difficult news
