Well it is hard to write this post, at least I did not think I would be writing it so soon. Jared's mom's cancer has returned. We found out today. She went in for her regular monthly check up and her counts were off. The doctor went ahead and orderd a bone marrow biopsy for today and checked her into the hospital. We received the results this evening while we were up at the hospital with her. The leukemia is back. She will begin 7 days of 24 hour chemotherapy tomorrow morning. They will do a follow up bone marrow biopsy in about 2 weeks and if it is clean they will begin building her counts back up so that she will be ready for a stem cell transplant in 6-7 weeks. She has already had her healthy stem cells harvested so they are ready whenever her body can handle the transplant. Unfortunately, she will not be able to have this transplant done here in Jackson and will have to go to UAB (in Birmingham) to have her transplant.
Please keep our family in your prayers as we battle this together. We know that the Lord is control of every one of our steps and has each of us in His arms. Please pray for Debbie, for strength, comfort, peace and for the ability to fight this disease. Pleae pray for Stan, that he will be able to offer her the comfort she needs and that he will have peace and strength as he battles with Debbie. Thanks so much for your support and prayers.

My heart aches with all of you. Our God is an awesome God and most certainly is in control. We will continue to lift you all to the Lord.
I am so sorry and please know that we are praying. Let us know when she is in Birmingham. We would love to help any way we can. If y'all come and need a place to stay, feel free to call us.
