WE JUST MET WITH THE DOCTORS AND THE SCANS WERE GREAT!!! I felt I was having an out of body experience while they were talking to us about the tests. I was so scared oh me of little faith!! You would think I would learn from all the blessings we have received and all the prayers. To say we feel blessed is an understatement. Thank you a million times over for being with us this whole time. You will never know what all of you have taught me about true love and compassion. I will always be forever changed by this whole experience. A friend of mine who lost her Husband last Jan. sent us quote right when we found out about Tegan and it went like this" Life is not about waiting for storms to pass its about learning to dance in the rain!!! We have truly tried threw all of this to look for the good in each day and to really dance. Needless to say right now we are truly dancing!!! Today Tegan had to wear a gown from the hospital for her scans. Her mom got her new hot pink shoes and so after the scans she would not take off her stunning gown. We have been up and down the hospital and she does not care that she has been mooning the country!! Tomorrow the tubes come out!!! A week later she will get to do all that she has not gotten to do!! Every three months she will be rescanned. Angela asked tough questions. The Doctors said in the first 2 years there is a greater chance it could return but because of it being in the shoulder they really don"t know as this kind of cancer is usually in the brain or the kidney. She advised her parents to live each day with Joy and to let Tegan live each day as a little girl who has been such a brave little fighter. Doctor Wright could not say enough about how strong Tegan was and that they never dreamed that she would endure all she did and have the results she did. I have said many times that this little girl has taught me more this last 10 months than I have learned my whole life. I want you to know that I will keep you posted from time to time on her. I really cannot even imagine not being connected to all of you by this blog. We look forward to great adventures ahead of us. We will get her home and get this new little brother here and I will get home to Maryland with my sweet Husband. I sure want to take time to thank our other children and grandchildren and there wonderful spouses who have been with us every step of the way and have never once said mom do you have time for us!!! I am humbled by the realization that we really are getting her central line removed tomorrow!!! No more tubes to flush! Thank you all!! It seems like such a small word to say. I love you Jacque

We are so happy for all of you and can't wait for you to be home for good. I can picture Tegan walking through the hospital in her gown and it makes me smile. Thanks for helping my testimony grow through your experience.
ReplyDeleteI can't stop boobing - such great news. Can't wait to have you guys back. WE LOVE YOU!
ReplyDeleteI can not tell you how happy I am for you. I am just so happy. I kept checking the site so nervous and anxious and when I read the good news I literally cried - what a blessed day. I will once again thank god in my prayers! ENJOY!! Love, Mary, Joe and Maria
ReplyDeleteTegan miracle has come full circle... GOD is so good, and he answers prayers!! We are so very happy for Tegan (and all of you.)I still have goose bumps after reading your GREAT news. ENJOY every moment with each other.

Thank you Heavenly Father! How blessed are we that we have a Father in heaven who knows us personally, who loves us, who walks beside us in our darkest, lowest hours and who has loved and watched over our little Tegan all these months and who gave her the strength she needed to fight the good fight. Tegan "put her shoulder to the wheel" and completed her journey back to health. Jacque and Angela - I can't wait to get my arms around you. You will forever be my heroes. I know the doctors did what they needed to do (and did it well!) but I know that the love and devotion you as mother and grandmother gave Tegan has brought her to the wonderful place she is today. Without your 24-7 loving attention I doubt that she could have maintained the strength her battered little body needed to endure her treatment. What a wonderful day this is!! Prayers have been heard and answered. Enjoy all the wonderful days you have ahead of you and let the veil drop on the past 10 months. All my kids send their love and best wishes. They were all waiting for my phone call with this glorious news!
ReplyDeleteCrying happy tears right now. I just read an article in the March ensign called Enduring Well - I was thinking of you guys and then I checked in on the blog and here was this fantastic post. Thank you both for sharing Tegans story with all of us. We love you guys. Happy Happy Day - she has angels watching over her and they will keep on watching. We all will.

We couldn't be more pleased and excited at this wonderful news. We have always believed in miracles but to witness such an amazing one is so humbling and fantastic. We are so grateful for answered prayers, honored fasts, and delivered blessings on behalf of Tegan and your family. Thanks you for letting us be a small part of your experience. Thank you for your incredible example, we admire you all so much. Next mission--get ready to welcome that little boy.

Hello Sister,
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad to find this blog and found out that your lil granddaughter Tegan is doing great. Before I left MD, I wanted to help at the fundraiser the WP1 did, but unfortunately I had to move before that date. But I left some stuff to Roz to be sold at the sale so in a way I'm glad that I was a tiny part but a part of the millions help you'd received. :) This miracle gave me a big hope. My family went through allot last year but knowing that our Heavenly Father is always there for all of us who believes in him is the greatest blessing!
I am so happy to know that the tubes are out from Tegan now...I'll come visit this blog again to see the progress of her precious life. :) I'll send the best wishes to all your family from GA.
Sincerely,
Mayumi Napoletano
I so thankful that your prayers have been answered. We have all prayed so hard for Tegan. We miss you. Take care. love, Tracy and family
ReplyDeleteWow! That is such incredible news. We used to live in the ward and have been following little Tegan's journey. Your sweet family has been in our thoughts and prayers. We are overjoyed to hear of this much-deserved news. Tegan truly is an inspiration! And I am so glad that she gets to be a kid again (and a big sister).
