We were overjoyed to welcome grandma and grandpa to our home this past Thursday!!! Did you get that? She travelled... to Portland!!! Mom finally felt well enough due to the doctors orders to take a week off of chemo. It was such a blessing to be able to have her and dad visit our new home and to be able to see the grandkids doing their normal day to day stuff here at home. We also celebrated Emery's 3rd birthday with them a week early. Many of you know, but they used to come down to watch the kiddos two Fridays a month while Trav and I were at work. I know both they and the kids treasured those special trips and we've been sad to miss them these past 8 months. This video includes our time together here the last couple days.

Keep praying for mom! She returns to chemo this next week. Pray this renewed strength carries her through this next phase of the unknown. The doctor really doesn't want mom and dad to spend the $700,000+ on the stem cell transplant and so they are in communication with NIH (national institute of health) to see if they would like to conduct a study on her case to substantially reduce costs. Even though mom is doing well this week, ultimately we know that she needs healing which will not come from chemo alone. Please pray that we get answers swiftly as to whether or not NIH will cover some of these costs. This would mean that she would have to go to NIH in D.C. for the treatment. Thanks for your prayers! Keep them coming! We are so grateful to all of you!
