CANCER FREE

What a ride the past few months have been -- but today it ended in Celebration.  Carly completed her fourth and final round of chemo last Tuesday, 16 treatments, and was retested yesterday.  Today we confirmed the results we have prayed for and she remains CANCER FREE! 

With the completion of the treatments and the great results, she was given the opportunity to ring the Cancer Free Bell at MD Anderson.  What a beautiful sound and what a beautiful young lady.

God has been our refuge during this trial -- His promises have given us strength as we placed all of our Faith in His Word.  We rejoice in all the Great things He has done for us and give Him all the Glory.  He is good, ALWAYS.

We thank all of our friends that have lifted Carly up during the past few months; knowing that we were not alone in this struggle was such a blessing.  We also thank our neighbors  for their support, meals and prayers.  A huge, special thanks to Dr. Anna Franklin and the wonderful team at MD Anderson for their guidance, knowledge and support.  We will continue to visit monthly for check ups for a year.  All of you made this difficult situation much easier on us. 

As Carly starts her healing and recovery for senior volleyball season we ask for your continued prayers -- we know God hears them.

Now that we are on the backside of this journey, I can honestly say, what we have gone through I wish on no one, but the blessing of friends, family and faith we have received during this period, I wish on everyone. 

Much love, Brad
