Today is October 18, and 2 years ago today I was sitting in a doctor’s office. We had noticed a rash on Joshua’s stomach and I took him to his pediatrician to get him fixed up. The rash ended up being a symptom of a greater problem, caused by capillaries bursting below his skin because his white blood cell count was so high. His white blood cell count was so high because some 80% of his blood cells were affected by leukemia.
Today’s the anniversary, and today we have alot of hope in this situation as Joshua’s treatment continues to press on and go well. But it does feel strange to be grizzled veterans at this point, having done this stuff for 2 years. On the blog on Monday, I’ll be posting some reflections from year 2, but until then, thanks for reading and praying with us through this.

I'll never forget the day that I heard about Joshua's diagnosis. And I can't believe that it has been 2 years. I'm praying for strength for all of you and for complete healing!! I love all of you and I'm thankful to know you.
The anniversaryies are very ifficult days. Even when you celebrate the victories, you also have many memories that creep back into the back of your mind.
Prayers for you that the remaining anniversaries will gradually to be less of an emotional burden.
All our love!
