It's definitely the small miracles in life for us right now....like seeing Eli smile for the first time in a week (I thought I was going to burst) Or Finally having a bm!!! The tube worked, although it took about 8 hours vs. the two or so the doctors predicted. Even now, a full 24 hours later, we are continuing the laxative through the tube because it seems he still isn't quite done. The tube really isn't bothering him at all, what a trooper this little guy is!!! Eli wasn't back to normal by any means, but we definitely saw more of him today than we have in a while. Tomorrow we will get another round of chemo. Eli is beginning to really lose his hair...then I know there will be no more denial about what we are facing...that sounds strange to say, but somehow every now and then I still feel as though this will all be some big mistake and we will go back to our normal lives sometime. Again, thanks for everyone for all of the support and prayers....I feel as though I am beginning to "stand" again, and I know that is in a big part due to you.

Maria,
I'm so glad you are are feeling strong enough to "stand" again, but if you ever feel the need to lean.....I'm only a phone call away for anything you may need. My cell is 813-0850 if there is anything I can do for you, John or the boys. And don't worry, hair grows back!
FHS,

Maria, I am so inspired by your grace, strength, and compassion. You are truly a rold model for others striving to live a Christ-centered life. We are so blessed to count you and your family as friends, and pray every day constantly for you, John, Eli, Jake and Sam. May God continue to be with you as you walk this road and rest assured you are never far from our thoughts and hearts. God bless you all, Laura Graze
