happening

This has been a very stressful week.  It has been the hardest decision yet.  We have changed our minds a hundred times.  In the end, we decided to start the TIL trial tomorrow.  

I am very sad and mad that nothing has been able to stop this tumor.  I don't understand.  What I do know is that I prayed at the beginning of my trouble to be able to try everything, and so far the prayers have been answered.  I am grateful for every chance I get to beat this truly horrible disease.  

Thank you for your thoughts and prayers.  We will be in great need of divine comfort and help over the next few weeks.  We are planning on updating the blog daily.

    Alisa, thank you for posting... praying in an organized vigil of moms in Oregon for you. Someone will be praying for you around the clock here. Praying for good sleep for you tonight... and for peace in your heart over your inspired decision... I know this is so very hard. Please try to let go and Let God for just an hour at a time and let your Heavenly Father lead you... show him your trust. We love you! Gretchen

    This will be it... what finally takes down that dreadful tumor! Just a little more fight and you so got this! You are just amazing friend. To hear you talk about the conversations you have with your cute boys and how you encourage them is beautiful, thoughtful, truthful... love it. You have such a wonderful way with them. I seriously kept thinking, they are so blessed to have you as their mother. We will definitely be sending extra prayers to you and your beautiful family this coming month. Hope your drive to Seattle went well. Xoxo
