A special intention

​Tomorrow marks a gigantic milestone in EvanMarie’s journey.

Tomorrow morning she will ring the gong at MD Anderson, celebrating the completion of three weeks of daily proton radiation therapy. Twelve days of anesthesia and treatment in the “spaceship”, and a truly remarkable courage and joy in the hospital (see video below). We are so proud of our little warrior saint and so grateful for the incredible team that has cared for her at Texas Children’s and MD Anderson. We are daily moved to tears for the individuals who make the hope of healing possible for EvanMarie. 

Y’all, God has been present to us these last ten months, full stop. In the midst of every parents nightmare, we feel strangely fortunate to be this close to His action. Life is beautiful and sacred and needs to be lived. EvanMarie reminds us of this truth everyday. 

The road to this point has been long. Since her diagnosis, EvanMarie has endured many a variation of Neuroblastoma treatment and now we finish radiation. As I write that sentence, I’m amazed at how “normal” that sounds to me. Yet another example of Grace. Truly, God has been faithful, and your prayers and love has comforted us every step of the way. Your texts and phone calls have been our strength when it got hard. We are grateful.

But the journey isn’t over just yet.

Early next week she will undergo a CT scan, bone marrow aspirations and biopsy, and an MIBG scan to assess the cancer’s response to treatment. These are the scans we have been working toward for months. The time has come to see the results. 

Would you please pray and fast fervently with us one last time?

We are asking boldly that on July 15th, 2026 there would be no detectable cancer remaining in EvanMarie’s body. We know Christ Jesus, the Great Physician is still at work, and we continue to entrust our precious daughter to His loving care. 

Through the intercession of Blessed Stanley Rother and the Immaculate Heart of Mary, we beg for complete healing. Lord. Please heal our daughter. Your loving will alone, oh Lord.

Friends, thank you for “staying in the room” with us, through every valley and every victory. Whatever these scans reveal, we know that God has been faithful every step of the way, and He will continue to be.

Now please go pray. And let us know by clicking here.

Glory to God in all things.
