Life sure has been busy. But the one thing I want all of you to now is that in that year we finally received our 501 C 3 status and Gifts of Gabi's Grace is a nonprofit organization. I am so proud of what we have done in the past in Gabi's honor, but I cannot wait to see what this can do for the future. We are currently working hard at planning our FIRST ANNUAL GOLF TOURNAMENT. It will be September 24th, 2011. There is much work to be done, but as soon as I have more info, other than the date I will post it! We are extremely excited about it! We are also revamping our website, which will provide all the info you will need to play, donate, or volunteer!</div><br /><br /><div align="left">Thank you again for always remembering Gabi!!

As a first time parent I was overwhelmed with the joy many of you have experienced. But I was also filled with much fear for I had no idea what her future would hold. I mean I was not scared of becoming a part of a new community but I was scared for all the unknowns of what people would say, how they would treat her, what would she be capable of on her own? It was all very honest things I feared for my child. I mean we were not gonna let Down Syndrome be what defined Gabi's future, but we were still fearful of how it could hold her back.<br />We quickly learned just how stubborn our little girl was, she had so much fight in her. Right away she was able to breastfeed, which we were told she likely wouldn't take to it for a while, because of D.S. We were told she would not develop as other children do. And up until the week before she had open heart surgery she was only one week behind from the "normal" children. I use that word very lightly, because I HATE IT!!! Who can truly define "normal"? Anyways, she had beat the odds that she was up against even as early as 5 months old, so we knew great things were in store for our baby girl.<br /><br />I want to apologize for not continuing on her legacy as I planned with this blog. I admit I have become lazy. The days seem shorter, my life seems busier, and I always seem to find an excuse of something else I should do. Well I am not going to say this part of me will change, but as much as I enjoy blogging I find myself wanting to spend all my waking moments with Kinsley, can you blame me?!?!?<br /><br />Gabi was sent from heaven I believe on short loan. I still believe she snuck away and when God did his head count he realized my little punky had gotten away so he was taking back what was rightfully his. Although I still would like to argue we could of given her the most amazing life here on earth, but God has bigger plans for her. I have come to truly believe this did not happen to us but for us. She has left an impact on my life that no other ever could of possibly done. I wasn't a bad person before, but I am definitely more giving and more thankful than I was. As parents we assume it is God's plan that we love and protect our children as he would. Well we did that and now we have a better relationship with him because of her. We did go through our times of doubt, but unless you have been in our situation, which I hope none of you have, you will never truly understand how one could not have such doubt on faith. I have come to peace knowing Gabi is with God and the other angels. I believe she is one of the heavenly hands that has played a huge role in Papa Acker's cancer miracle. He has nearly beat the odds, the doctors say he is a medical mystery...we say God and Gabi are working together and keeping Papa safe! God and Gabi also worked together in making sure Kinsley was created for Jason and I. As I have said on several occasions if it weren't for Kinsley I would be locked up in a looney bin somewhere! I like to think God and Gabi are on our side and they will work close together in keeping our family safe and healthy. We all continue to strive to be better, to serve the Lord better, and someday we will be reunited again.<br />I was always so scared of dying, but I can honestly say I am no longer scared. It is a reality of life, sometimes sooner than we plan. I know I have the most amazing little girl that will be there waiting for me. I cannot wait to hold her in my arms again. The picture above means so much to me. I know it has only been 2 1/2 years since her passing, but I forget how she feels, I forget how she touched me, to hug her and kiss her it is all such a distant memory. Nothing is worse than not remembering some of the most precious things we should cherish the most as our children grow up, or in my case as they move on to bigger and better places. I want nothing more than my heart to be filled with happiness. We were her chosen parents, whether she snuck away or not, she was ours for a reason. She and God knew we were the best for her and I thank God everyday for the days we had with her. I love harder, give thanks more, and appreicate this precious thing called life more!<br />So people live, love, and cherish those little ones and when they grow up to be big ones continue to live, love, and cherish the lifetime you've shared!<br /><br />Happy Birthday my precious punky!!! I love you forever and ever<br /><br />xoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoAngel Gabi's Mommyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09080369342880746378noreply@blogger.com7tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7911522794641129345.post-71292649054544741952009-12-07T09:26:00.003-06:002009-12-07T09:41:36.232-06:003rd Annual Santa's Little Helpers...DECEMBER 19th<div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhXVqoub3RUZJScpR7hny_sTLS0CLCJFxkEUwTTSC8F56wsCNAI8Kro7VYbvAgJBFEBeiwBDzIe3RJ5OVAmpOzeKHRyi_kdvyXstBMVRzCppaUqtL1QsPkG7fmxRsCI66VPtGH0_Ejmw4w/s1600-h/PC200035.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 200px; height: 150px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhXVqoub3RUZJScpR7hny_sTLS0CLCJFxkEUwTTSC8F56wsCNAI8Kro7VYbvAgJBFEBeiwBDzIe3RJ5OVAmpOzeKHRyi_kdvyXstBMVRzCppaUqtL1QsPkG7fmxRsCI66VPtGH0_Ejmw4w/s200/PC200035.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5412519599229835410" border="0" /></a>Last year...time to collect for this year!<br /></div><br /><br /><br />The last 2 years we have had an incredible response, we went from filling stockings the first year to filling gift bags last year. But it is all because of the overwhelming love and respect each of you have for our Gabi. Every Christmas since she has passed we have collected items to give to the children in the PICU at Children's Mercy. The way we see it, Children's Mercy gave us so such love, hope, and encouragement, during the most awful moments in our lives. That was the last place we held our daughter, the last place we hugged and kissed her. Although it is bittersweet to go to Children's Mercy, the fact is that is the last place she was and we want to give back. Now we can't do this on our own, so that is why I ask each year for your help.<br /><br />Think of some of your best memories as a child, especially those memories of Christmas. How many of you spent it in the PICU, I hope none of you! These kids don't deserve to be in the hosptial at what is suppose to be such a magical time of year. So we like to spread a little cheer and hoilday spirit. And even if it only takes them away for a second to bring a smile to faces, that is all we wish for! Donations could be anything from coloring books and crayons, games, lip gloss, hot wheels, dolls, booties, hair bows, arts and crafts...we never know the ages of the children, but it can range from newborn to 17 years old..variety is what we go for. I usually buy out the dollar spot at Target. Or if you'd rather just send a buck or 2 that works too! We only have 2 weeks to collect items, so anything and everything is GREATLY appreciated!<br /><br />Our little angel is counting on us to represent her well but we need your help.

I do apologize, I have been so busy with cheerleading and then there is Kinsley. She is slowly becoming a big girl right before my eyes. She is AMAZING!!! She is starting to put words together making little sentences. She always wants to dance, color, and play with ALL her stuffed animals. I should say carry ALL of her stuffed animals around, and if she can't get them ALL I carry what she can't. We are potty training and she recognizes most of the time when she needs to go. She is soooooo proud when she does go, and of course so am I! She just turned 18 months, such a fun age, but it's a busy age.<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgjkCB6NXv4c-Z5cn_HgST7_3f_-RwOoracSVQCUJVYCc1TV0HRfeXQqbas447HUbRTQhD6mmSf6T_C1qHdJebF5bChK6HKXOZ7wtBOh4ouNAchpXgvjHmDdNIK1UDZWB8ZIsOq7HliUW8/s1600/PA300146.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 200px; height: 150px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgjkCB6NXv4c-Z5cn_HgST7_3f_-RwOoracSVQCUJVYCc1TV0HRfeXQqbas447HUbRTQhD6mmSf6T_C1qHdJebF5bChK6HKXOZ7wtBOh4ouNAchpXgvjHmDdNIK1UDZWB8ZIsOq7HliUW8/s200/PA300146.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5406205763953599410" border="0" /></a>Gracie is staying busy with school. She has finally figured out why it is so important to do good the first time around. She has weekly spelling test and on Thursdays they have a pretest. If they get 100% they don't have to take the test on Friday, let's just say I think she has only taken one test on Friday. She just finished cheerleading for her little brothers team and now she is starting basketball. She is pretty pumped about bb, and I think Jason is more excited than ever, something he can really relate too.<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjOm0yCNyNdrZkpcpjl8xGZgTA_PIizDMfR30d6K2rquD_irMzEuc7Zt8V7FoVyGaGekUQ8LG_k8RzuIsNWyWAV4zU4gc6zj-YM1eN0MJGzq77sU_jXSv3ennbhyHnd_AZkZKmuwQkO1WI/s1600/PC200041.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 200px; height: 150px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjOm0yCNyNdrZkpcpjl8xGZgTA_PIizDMfR30d6K2rquD_irMzEuc7Zt8V7FoVyGaGekUQ8LG_k8RzuIsNWyWAV4zU4gc6zj-YM1eN0MJGzq77sU_jXSv3ennbhyHnd_AZkZKmuwQkO1WI/s200/PC200041.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5406205778404558242" border="0" /></a><span style="color: rgb(102, 51, 102);">Now for the next topic at hand, 3rd Annual SANTA'S LITTLE HELPERS!!! For the last 2 years we have stuffed stockings for the Pediatric Intensive Care Unit at Childrens Mercy. We have had such an amazing response both years, so I am really looking forward to see how this year turns out. I am thinking we will deliver Saturday December 19th. That is not 100% confirmed but that is the date I am thinking will be best. That gives us 4 weeks to collect items. Remember we do not know until a couple days before what age groups we are collecting for, so it is important we get a little bit of everything. Mostly babies, a few tweens, and teens we also like to include something for the parents. These are some things we have collected in the past...coloring books and crayons, cross word puzzles, gift cards (McD's and movies tickets are great), hand held games, barbies, toy cars, lip gloss. The place I stock up the most is the dollar spot, you can find great items there for super cheap. We also accept monetary donations and then I take that and buy items suitable for the children/parents. I also like to take a tray of goodies for the nurses, so any bakers out there??? If you are interested in making any sort of donation, please contact me</span> <span style="color: rgb(255, 204, 204);">micah@giftsofgabisgrace.org</span><br /><span style="color: rgb(102, 51, 102);">It is a tough time of year for everyone Christmas can be overwhelming on top of all of our other expenses, but the think I always remind myself of is, the kids are in the hospital and no kid should ever have to spend Christmas in the hospital. So we need to bring a little cheer to their day, give them a stocking full of goodies, just let there minds be in another place for an hour or 2.</span><br /><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"><br /></span>Angel Gabi's Mommyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09080369342880746378noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7911522794641129345.post-27378475242656814142009-10-26T08:32:00.007-05:002009-10-26T09:42:29.545-05:00Stepping Up for GABI'S GRACEOur team raised $720, just $30 shy of my goal...which I was super excited about.

I figured instead of making a huge entry I would just start from the weekend. We are always on the go when Gracie is in school. But this was our last free weekend for a while. She starts cheerleading this next Saturday, which I am totally pumped about. She has been practicing really hard with her mom and me. When we practice though she asks if her motions are right and where she should be looking on certain motions...it is so cute. She actually listens to me too since I am a cheer coach.<br />So Saturday Kins and I picked up Gracie and went out to the Renaissance Festival, opening day. Gracie got to ride a pony, get a henna tattoo, and visit with Mimi and Papi....Kins and I were along for the ride. Jason had to work all day Saturday, so I have been trying to keep both girls entertained without hearing too much, "When's Daddy gonna be home?"<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhoc92w4m3HMVFIhXChl7-HQkcvUpXp2D6EgDj7aGrxE1hxVgk1h1WEdCCReHWYlEsLN65lEXwnw-kmNIs0tyXpADEFADHRKmEUXEFqDTDzxydds7wTW-vuuX_kN-MZKm3vUU5Cdh5jnjw/s1600-h/P9050107.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 200px; height: 150px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhoc92w4m3HMVFIhXChl7-HQkcvUpXp2D6EgDj7aGrxE1hxVgk1h1WEdCCReHWYlEsLN65lEXwnw-kmNIs0tyXpADEFADHRKmEUXEFqDTDzxydds7wTW-vuuX_kN-MZKm3vUU5Cdh5jnjw/s200/P9050107.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5379842177795459218" border="0" /></a><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjbfZkCKoDHxMRr2Lj0iHvnqqCV04LBc0PJjjXhBuknge-C1ewhuLSnj383NjpSEAHATaBNeQtapyWo1fwJjHAgQmcem9NNVBS503fytIV6BdhmmwuoULi9WAerzC6UWPl4Qgfvdo95Hcc/s1600-h/P9050110.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 200px; height: 150px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjbfZkCKoDHxMRr2Lj0iHvnqqCV04LBc0PJjjXhBuknge-C1ewhuLSnj383NjpSEAHATaBNeQtapyWo1fwJjHAgQmcem9NNVBS503fytIV6BdhmmwuoULi9WAerzC6UWPl4Qgfvdo95Hcc/s200/P9050110.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5379842186359023986" border="0" /></a><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiFSasoNgevcFzBj1mTAC2Cm8D314APULkmZBg4g-3MAC3uhGaA9kTkxwRyFJWbvbStXnAj8OFVFVLJwp4Te4VzZSZfjsWOkZe6_ilFHmP-X3nkJfzkfFDxxaYJzO0wODhKX1C96vIN-ts/s1600-h/P9050114.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 200px; height: 150px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiFSasoNgevcFzBj1mTAC2Cm8D314APULkmZBg4g-3MAC3uhGaA9kTkxwRyFJWbvbStXnAj8OFVFVLJwp4Te4VzZSZfjsWOkZe6_ilFHmP-X3nkJfzkfFDxxaYJzO0wODhKX1C96vIN-ts/s200/P9050114.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5379842195444727378" border="0" /></a>Then Sunday was the annual Childrens Mercy Memorial Service. It was very bittersweet, this year they dedicated the 2008 quilt. The 2008 quilt is in memory of the children who passed in 2007. I had made a quilt block in memory of Gabi the quilt was beautiful. And the most special part is Gabi and Ava are right next to each other, just as they are in heaven...insert tears here :) The quilt will be hung in the hopsital on the wall near the cashiers counter in May of 2010.

The girls are doing great. Jason and I are doing great...we celebrated our 2nd, 3 year anniversary. If that confuses you it's because in June we got married at the courthouse and then in September we had a ceremony to exchange our vows in front of all of our loved ones! So that is why I say our 2nd, 3 year Anniversary!<br /><br />I have been taking pictures like a crazy woman...is that any different than any other moment in my life. If you don't take pics how do you capture those moments you wish you had your camera??? I will have to download them soon and post A LOT!!!<br /><br />Step Up For Down Syndrome Walk is coming up soon, so be sure to sign up.

That day was the worst day of our lives, we couldn't get to the hospital fast enough. Our hearts and minds raced as we drove that horrid 15 minutes to get to her. Gabi had been doing better, or I should say she was maintaining. But I think she was just holding on for us. She needed to reassure us we could move forward with our lives. That is when we conceived Kinsley, definitely our life saver!<br /><br />As we rushed into the hospital up the elevator for what seemed to take an eternity to go up 2 floors, the doors opened, we signed in, approached her room and we knew what was in store as soon as we saw her. Gabi had retained so much fluid she was so Pink and Squishy...she looked as if she would burst if she held onto any more fluids. It was the most awful feeling in the world, knowing there was nothing Jason or I could do to comfort her. We discussed our options with Dr. Teeves and proceeded with dialysis...we feared this because there was only a slim chance this would do the miracle we needed. As Dr. Teeves did her thing she felt a bit of relief it worked a little. So for the next 12 or so hours we watched and waited by her side. We called our family and our pastor for the most dreaded call of all. They needed to be there with Gabi what if this was it. Our family had been our biggest support while watching us and Gabi over the past 7 weeks in the hospital.<br /><br />They all rushed in and we waited. We prayed, we cried, we told Gabi we knew how much she fought and it was ok to go into God's hands now. Those were words you NEVER want to tell your baby, but what choice did we have. She wasn't getting better, we truly felt she was suffering and that is absolutely not what we wanted for our baby. In the wee hours of Aug. 20th 2007, as I held my baby for the very last time, we said our final prayer and said our good bye's and Gabi returned to God and received her wings. How bittersweet that moment was. There is not a day that goes by I don't relive those final moments, it is not the way I want to remember my baby, but those are are final memories and how do you not remember that? Our Gabi changed our lives forever. We found the true meaning of life, we love harder, we give more and we are better people because of her. As much as I would change to fix her and bring her back to live with us much much longer, I know God had a bigger better life planned for her and that is where she belongs. It is taken me a long time to realize and agree that that is the truth and God really does know what he is doing. But given the situation how was I to think anywhere other than with her parents is better for her. I trust in God and what he does for us. And yes I said FOR US, 2 years ago I'd of said he did it to us not for us, but that is simply not true. He does things for us, we just have to learn from it and move forward.<br /><br />Thank you God for bringing Gabi into our lives! I wouldn't change a thing, she defined life for us and that we will forever be thankful for. Please keep her safe and we do look forward someday to being with her again! And thank you for Kinsley she has given us the strength to continue to keep going forward with life. And thank you for Gracie, she is such a strong little girl. She has been through so much, but we continue to see her blossom into such an amazing young lady. We are truly blessed and we owe it all to you!<br /><br />With that being said, I declared August 20th as NATIONAL PIGGIE TAIL DAY!!! Please show your support and wear piggies in honor of our precious angel Gabi. Most little girls love piggies, so it isn't that hard. The only thing I ask, please take a picture and send it to me. It is such a great way to help us get through the day! Thank you and God bless you all!!!<br /><br />email it to: micah@giftsofgabisgrace.orgAngel Gabi's Mommyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09080369342880746378noreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7911522794641129345.post-65090122175878698682009-08-14T10:18:00.005-05:002009-08-14T10:49:39.714-05:00Oh Me Oh MyThings have gotten super busy around here and school hasn't even started! Last week my squad took 4th place at our regional competition. I was very proud of them, some tough competition out there. We will be competing mid November for the state tourney. I have high hope for them, but we have a lot of work to do in preparation for that. Our football season is about to begin, which I look forward to. Kearney is very well know for there athletic achievements, among other things. So I think Jason will even enjoy attending the games :)<br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEglqrO1o57dbg4EyMnv9FPKhBj5RjIbBVcKzHqSPfYHlvt1py4jlhjPehwGetwkuPraiCD8ZHxHKnPFaRCv74mqqUkOVHV6DyH7xxHFoB5rdc_yblQP3R7EvbSGN_Hr0TKLjiiYnhQL38U/s1600-h/P8070084.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 150px; height: 200px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEglqrO1o57dbg4EyMnv9FPKhBj5RjIbBVcKzHqSPfYHlvt1py4jlhjPehwGetwkuPraiCD8ZHxHKnPFaRCv74mqqUkOVHV6DyH7xxHFoB5rdc_yblQP3R7EvbSGN_Hr0TKLjiiYnhQL38U/s200/P8070084.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5369844718080762674" border="0" /></a><span style="color: rgb(153, 51, 153);">All decked out for the Regional Competition...check out her shirt...GO BULLDOGS!!!<br /></span></div><br />Gracie spent her last day with us on Wednesday.

Some of her newest words are Mema (finally, poor mema thought she'd never say it), puppy, bath, back pack (strange huh, she loves Dora, so that's where that one come in), potty, and pee pee. We are slowly working on potty training. I know it is a bit soon, but really who say when is too soon??? I am so proud of her too, she does an excellent job considering how young she is. We have a great little pee pee/poo poo dance...which she thinks is GREAT!!! I am a little frustrated though because I have been looking for training pants, NOT pull ups at the stores and they have plenty and they do make them in 18 months, but apparently they do not believe there is much demand for them, so they do not have them in stock. I will have to order them online...oh well! She is one of the friendliest toddlers I know, she says Hi to EVERYONE! Loves blowing kisses and has even flirted with a few cuties! She continues to dance her little tushy off, she LOVES music!

My grandparents live in AZ and they are going on a little get away so we figured we better take advantage of them being so close. We are really looking forward to it!

We have participated the last 2 years in KC's Annual Buddy Walk in honor of our little angel, Gabi. Well here I go again asking for you to open your hearts, join our team! It is $20 for an adult and $15 for a child, which includes a t-shirt. The day is filled with fun, tons of activities for the kiddos, lunch is included, and a walk for a WONDERFUL cause. They have changed the name this year, STEP UP FOR DOWN SYNDROME WALK, not quite sure the reason behind it. Anyways that doesn't matter, the fact is there are thousands of families that need your support. So, mark your calendars for October 24, 2009 to join us for a walk that is very special to our hearts. And even if you can't walk you can still be a part of our team. Simply click on the link below and you can see how. Thanks so much! And we look forward to you joining our team!!!<br /><br />1st Annual<span style="color: rgb(102, 0, 204);"> </span><a style="color: rgb(102, 0, 204);" href="https://www.syssolutions.com/kcwalk2009/Main/MyTeam.aspx?Reset=Y">STEP UP FOR DOWN SYNDROME WALK</a>, team GABI'S GRACEAngel Gabi's Mommyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09080369342880746378noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7911522794641129345.post-55200642161788639812009-07-10T08:56:00.001-05:002009-07-10T08:58:13.919-05:00Pics BELOWSo last week I started to post pics and forgot to finish.

I do apologize though! I hoped you figured at this post, NO NEWS IS GOOD NEWS :)<br /><br />As for Jason, the lump IS benign. The thyroid specialists wants to see him in 3 months, just keep an eye on it. No need to go in and remove it, many times they will shrink on there own and absorb into the body. So that is what we are praying for. Worst case, they go in and remove it. Jason already feels like it has gotten smaller though.<br /><br />As for Fred, his prostate cancer IS localized, which means it did NOT spread. That is not only wonderful news, but a medical mystery to the doctors. He was diagnosed 2 years ago, and at that point is was a level 10, which is the worst level you can be diagnosed with, the odd were not in his favor. Well with the grace of God, a very special guardian angel, and endless prayers he is still going strong and kickin the cancers butt. Although he will never be 100% can free, he still has many years with us with proper care. For the next 8 weeks he will be going through very intense radiation, with hopes of knocking out the prostate cancer all together. I just wish the doctors would of thought of this months ago. All I can say is everything does happen for a reason and we are blessed that God is allowing him to continue such a courageous battle! As I told my FIL, God has others plans for him and that is why things are happening the way they are. That and he has 3 grandchildren to watch grown up!<br /><br />So all and all things are looking up for the Ackers! Thanks to all the prayers you sent out for us, PRAYERS DOES WORK! Please continue to keep us there, we are still not in the clear, but definitely in a better place than we were.<br /><br />With that being said, <a href="http://bryantsfamilynews.blogspot.com">TUCKER</a> needs our prayers. He has had a rough couple of days. His family is exhausted from all the excitement and could really use some encouragement! They are fighting hard for their little guy and when set backs happen it breaks your heart. You question the doctors, the nurses, yourself, even God. And although it is not right to question those people it happens and until you are in that situation you may never understand. But with that being said please pray for Tucker and not only him his entire family, they could use some good news!<br /><br />We love you Tucker! xoxoAngel Gabi's Mommyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09080369342880746378noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7911522794641129345.post-80773831569328516912009-06-30T14:18:00.002-05:002009-06-30T14:28:19.382-05:00Here's the latest...Ok so Jason's specialist say he is almost 100% is it benign, which is excellent news. Confirmation will come no later than Friday. He said if it wasn't then his whole neck would be swollen, which it is not...THANK GOODNESS!<br /><br />Now as for Fred, his x-rays showed no signs of colon cancer, FANTASTIC!! Now the tricky part, his prostate is extremely swollen which is causing his problems down below. So they are going to run more tests on Thursday, to see if the prostate cancer is still locallized, which is what we pray for. If that is the case, then they can attack it with more chemo and radiation. Now if it is the alternative and it has spread then they can only give him pain medication to ease the process.<br /><br />Now I am feeling VERY optimistic. He has been doing great other than the bladder and back problems. We have a very special guardian angel and she has been pulling lots of overtime working with Papa and keeping him safe. We also have an amazing Lord above that no matter what the challenges are we face as a family, we have become not only closer with each other but our faith goes stronger each day. We will all go at some point in time, and it is comforting knowing we will all be together again in heaven, but I do pray we can live life together here on earth for a very long time.<br /><br />Please please continue to keep us in your prayers!<br /><br />Jump on over to <a href="http://bryantfamilynews.blogspot.com">Tucker's Blog</a> as well, he is slowly progressing in the right direction, but as I have said before he has a long road to full recovery.

So anyone who has been following our blog is aware that my Father In Law has irreversible prostate cancer. It has been nearly 2 years since the initial diagnosis. Since then he has had many aches and pains, been through chemo, numerous medications, THE WORKS!!! Well he has been doing better, the cancer has been controlled and has not spread any other places. Well, he has had severe back pain, and had some troubles doing normal daily things. He saw the oncologist earlier today and he has been ordered to have x-rays tomorrow to see if it is colon cancer. SERIOUSLY...this has been tough enough on the ol' man, I pray this is not the case. But I figured a few prayers couldn't hurt. As soon as I know something I will post, but our family will be saying our prayers tonight. <br /><br />It saddens me that we even have to reach out for more, but God knows whatever it is we CAN handle the news. Papa, hang in there you got3 grandchildren that need you to be strong and continue to keep fighting as hard as you have...give it hell ol' man! Gabi will be holding your hand tomorrow...WE LOVE YOU!!!<br /><br />And one more request, Jason had his annual check up a couple weeks ago with the oncologist, and his thyroid is enlarged. He had an ultrasound 2 weeks ago and they want to do a biopsy, which is suppose to be tomorrow. I say suppose to be because the doc's office said it's a consultation but that is not what we were originally told so who knows. Every year at the annual check up the oncologist looks closely at his heart and thyroid, these are the 2 areas of concern for long term side effects from his chemo.<br /><br />Well, it's getting late and Jason is waiting on me to start a movie, so I best be scootin.<br /><br />We appreciate your thoughts and prayers:)<br /><br />Good Night!Angel Gabi's Mommyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09080369342880746378noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7911522794641129345.post-36299219849476421882009-06-29T11:01:00.010-05:002009-07-10T08:55:41.919-05:00Bump, Set, Fountain...I started this post last week and forgot to post it...oops!
