This is Kaitlyn at the clinic. We are so excited to be moving forward in our treatment. This last month has been hard. Kaitlyn had a rash (so I thought) on her front and back, waist area. We had already been delayed one week because her counts were low and then she developed this rash that was really hurting her bad! She normally doesn't complain even when they are poking her with needles so when she was crying out in tons of pain I knew something was wrong. She ended up getting a fever early Sunday morning and we rushed her to the hospital. She was diagnosed with shingles which is in the chicken pox family. If you have Leukemia and get chicken pox or shingles it can be extremely serious. God was with us the entire time.
They quarantined Kaitlyn and would not allow Eric or Madeline to come and see her at first. They were telling us it would be at least 3weeks. Those were dark moments! I was litterly sitting in the dark, Kaitlyn asleep in the bed next to me and I flipped open my daily devotional for that very day and it said "when I sit in darkness, the Lord will be a light to me." I felt week at that moment, I called out to Him and He spoke to me! I will never forget that moment!! God's peace continued to steal over us!! Thank you to all that heard and prayed!
Kaitlyn time and time again amazes us and the Dr.'s! After only five days she was scabbing over and healing wonderfully!! Thanksgiving day they allowed Eric and Madeline to see her and to our surprised let us go home!! It was such a huge answer to prayer! We were so overjoyed to be able to spend part of Thanksgiving at home! Just to be in our own home with our girls close by to hug and love is more than Eric and I could have ever wished for!!
This clip was just this last week when we had a nine hour day at the clinic. Christy Campo, who is a child life worker at the hospital who helps kids deal with going through a traumatic time, was sent from God! She and I went to church together in college and it is such a blessing every time we see her!! Kaitlyn adores her and in this clip she is helping her to clean and give medicine to her baby just like they do to her.....Thank you Christy we love you!! (George is the IV machine

Jesus said, "Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of heaven belongs to such as these."
Holy Jesus,
Thank you for this precious little one of Yours. Please draw her very near to Your heart and bless her with the perfect healing that comes from You alone. Thank You for the blessing she is to all who know her and please comfort her and encourage her with Your precious love.
Dear Heather,
Thank you so much for sharing with us. Kaitlyn is such an inspiration to me, and in this video clip she just amazes me by her strength, I am in awe. How much the little ones can teach us adults is unbelievable! I'll think twice tonight about what I choose to be grumpy about that is for sure! Heather your testimony about how God spoke to you directly through His Word at just the moment you needed it brought tears to my eyes and load of goosebumps! Our God is so amazing and He demonstrates time and again how near He is. Thank you for reminding me by your story. My girl's pray outload in bed each night for Kaitlyn. We love you and thank you for sharing your lives and journey with us all. I look forward to the next time I get to see you.
In Christ,
Kelly Roberts
The stories of God's grace and your joy in times of trial never end! I am blessed on a daily basis because of your family's testimony and how you have allowed God to work through ALL situations.
Kaitlyn is more precious than ever and her beauty shines from the inside out! Her joy is no doubt a gift from God and a direct result of your examples. She is and always has been such an angel, and no obstacle will get in the way of that!
May the Lord continue to bless all of you as your testimonies shine bright to be a blessing to all around you!
