This is the amazing journey of our two miracles. John Craig was born on November 30, 2005 at 24 weeks and 5 days gestation. He weighed 1 pound 8 ounces and was 12 inches long. John is a true miracle and an inspiration to all that meet him! Hope Amanda, our perfect little girl, is currently recovering from two brain surgeries to remove a 6cm mass from the center of her brain. Hope represents everything good in this world and she too is an inspiration to all.
For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you a hope and a future.
Jeremiah 29.11

Final Results

Today was a good dayπŸ™πŸΌ



We got the final pathology report back today and it verified the initial findings that the tumor is a pilocytic astrocytoma grade 1 (if you’re going to have a tumor this is the one you want). The plan remains the same to start an oral targeted therapy drug in January, which will last approximately 2 years.  The goal would be to reduce the size of the tumor over that period of time. Trusting Jesus and His plans. 

MRI is scheduled for 6am tomorrow morning. Pray that her ventricles have shrunk and her spinal fluid is being absorbed normally by her body. If all goes well the drain will be removed from her head and we’ll be able to move out of the PICU and onto a regular floor. One step closer to home.
