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

6 month MRI

She’s a pro at this now and doesn’t even flinch when they start her IV. 

Her MRI and bloodwork were this morning followed by an appointment with the oncologist.  All her bloodwork looks wonderful (white blood cell count was great) and kidney function is perfect too (checking because of the meds she’s on.) However her MRI showed no significant change in the tumor.  Not what we were hoping for but also not bad news either.  

We are so grateful that she’s feeling well and we’ll continue to trust God and His plan.

6 months


 6 months feels like a lifetime ago but also feels like yesterday.  It really is crazy how quickly your life can change in a blink of an eye.

I had a conversation with Hope the other day.  Anyone that knows her knows that she is my worrier.  Well, she told me...

"Mom, I was never worried when I was in the hospital.  I felt so calm because I felt Jesus right there with me."

So thankful that we serve such a mighty God because I too felt Him with us and it was all the reassurance I needed.  I even text one of my friends the morning of her surgery to tell her that I could literally feel Jesus right there next to us.  It was the best feeling in the world.

Please keep the prayers coming.  MRI is Wednesday and we want more good news!

Summertime

Kids are officially done with the school year. Johnboy finished up his sophomore year and Hopie girl is finally out of elementary school. 

Both kids are doing great. Hope had another EKG and ECHO last week and all looks good. We also had an appointment with Dr. Shafron and he is VERY pleased with how well she’s doing. Next MRI is on the 22nd and we’re praying for more good news.
