Off topic: Grandson Cole's test results
This is an off topic thread, but some of you know what my family has been dealing with for just over a year, and you may not check the homesteading families board for the updates.

My grandson, age 3 1/2, was diagnosed with neuroblastoma just after Thanksgiving Day of 2006. He's been undergoing very aggressive treatment at St. Jude Children's Research Hospital ever since ... just about a year and ten days since he flew to Memphis in an air ambulance

Today, all the test results are in, and he has been declared cancer free! He will be taking an oral med/chemo for about 16 months, but the main battle seems to be won.

My son is giving up Navy helo aviation and transferring to Memphis to work in the Navy POW/MIA office. Living there will facilitate the aftercare logistics.


I am overwhelmed, happy, ecstatic, thankful, and still processing the thought that Cole is fine. I catch myself saying, "Well!" Nothing else follows.
:baby04:

This is a very special day!

Rose, aka Cole's Gran

OH MY GOODNESS. That is the best Christmas gift anyone could ever ask for. That is WONDERFUL.
I have to say I give to St Jude's Hospital all the time, because of the Wonderful work that they do.

Have a Very Merry Christmas.

I haven't been around here very long and don't you guys too well, but I have got to say that I have tears running down my face in happiness for you! I have a little guy here that is the light of my life and can't imagine what you and yours have been going through this past year. Positive thoughts create positive energy which creates positive outcomes. I'm sure a lot of people have been pulling for him!

Merry Merry Christmas!

What a wonderful gift that news is, to you and to all of us who have followed little Cole's progress. Thank you for sharing this journey with us, I know I have spoken of it, prayed about it and shared the story with my kids. Cole and all of you have long been a part of our prayers. I am so happy for him! Give him a hug from this homesteading family in Kansas!
