Today is Jaxons seventh Birthday!! First grandchild and he is already seven!! The time does not just pass it soars by us in a blink of an eye. Last year at this very time Tegan had gone into the Doctor for her sore arm and the Doctor finally gave her an examine and found the lump on her neck. Angela called and said they were headed to the hospital for a scan of it. I had talked to Susan Young about it earlier and she had told me about her own grandson having a lump and it was nothing just something to do with the glands. I felt confident that it was going to be fine. After the scans she was going to Jaxons Birthday party and then back so the Doctors could read them. Rog and I were headed to the Temple and she said she would leave us a message when the results came back. When we got out of the temple we had a message and Angela said mom, dad it is bad they are sending us to Primary Children's Hospital in the morning!! I don't tell you this now to make you sad because we are rejoicing right now and are celebrating, that we have Cole here and that Tegan is with her little brother and seems to be getting stronger daily!!! As I sit here right now typing this I truly have to ask some days did this really happen and were we really in Salt Lake for 11 months. As we go forward it just feels so good to see this little family be so excited for day to day living. We are well aware of the changes of the the cancer returning but what we know most of all is how precious each day is for all of us. I have said many times we really don't know what is in store for any of us but what I know more than anything now is that we really can endure really hard things because of our Faith ,Family and Friends!! I have to admit that a year ago I could have never imagined going threw this and actually holding up threw it. I was thinking of all the prayers from every religion that were said in our behave and was thinking of how you will never know how each one was answered. Tegan was so afraid of strangers yet each Doctor , Nurse or staff member she never was afraid of. She hated medicine and did not want to take it and now she will be on medicine probably the rest of her life and she takes it without thinking about it. She just does it!!! When she got so burned from the radiation they said she would have to learn to swallow all over again!! She could swallow on her own when she woke up from the coma. She is having phyiscal therapy right now on her left arm and they cannot believe the movement she has because they thought that she may not beable to use it but she is and is getting better each day with it. She is playing soccer!!! Who Knew!!! The list goes on and on and I felt today the very day we found out about the cancer I needed to post a blog and tell you that a year ago the depths of despair was so strong in Roger and my heart we cried all the way back to his car and he got out and said I will go to the office and get us a plane ticket to Utah for tomorrow. We made it, we did it with the help of all of you!!! A year has pasted and we are closer than ever as a family. We are blessed and thankful for each day. Thanks for reading this journal I have written. I hope to share all these blogs with Tegan someday. Well I am going to have cake with a darling little Seven year old who has a crown on from school that says he is 7!!! You are all in my heart forever! I love you Jacque
