Childhood Cancer Awareness Month

Be like the bird that, passing on her flight awhile on boughs too slight, feels them give way beneath her, and yet sings, knowing that she hath wings. ~Victor Hugo

September is Childhood Cancer Awareness Month. Each and every day approximately 46 children are diagnosed with cancer. We became one of those 46........ 

On August 5th, 2010, our family was shocked to learn that Trace, our 11yr old son, who had had surgery a week before to remove a cyst from his neck, was now fighting for his life against an extremely rare salivary cancer. Our world has been turned upside down and is still spinning out of control. We are headed to MD Anderson in Texas later this week to meet our surgeon, have tests done and schedule the surgery. The name of this cancer is Cystic Mucoepidermoid Carcinoma of the Parotid Gland. What a mouthful!! Please keep him and our family in your prayers as we begin this journey. We need all you can give.
