Home for a Few Weeks!

As Thanksgiving approaches, our hearts are overflowing with gratitude. EvanMarie is home until the first week of December! After crushing cycle three of chemotherapy, she’s earned a little time to rest, play, and just be a kid. Her jungle-themed hospital room, with Gerald the giraffe, was the talk of the entire floor! Every nurse, doctor, and visitor commented, and it brought so much joy to what could have been a heavy week.

Now she’s back at Braes Meadow until December 3rd, when we’ll head back in for her fourth cycle of chemo. For now, she’s soaking up the goodness of her own bed, her siblings, her friend Ollie, and the warmth of our nightly dinner and prayer, all the simple, beautiful things that we have so often taken for granted in the past.

Her nausea has been tough this round, as the doctors predicted, so we ask for your continued prayers that she can hold down food and water and regain her strength in the coming days. Even through the intense chemo and all the nausea that follows, she still keeps us laughing, and keeps showing us what courage looks like. 

She is our favorite superhero now and bravery is her superpower. We are so thankful for this time at home, for the love that surrounds us, and for YOU, our community. 

​Glory to God in all things, for the struggle, for healing, for laughter, and for every moment of grace along the way.
