Dear Friends and Family,
 We hope this note finds you all happy and healthy.  We would like to thank you who: kept us in your prayers; helped us out financially with Seth’s medical needs; and have been there with a shoulder to cry on or an open ear. We would also like to thank those who have done any of the other precious little things that have helped us reach this point.
 Seth is doing wonderfully.  Last month we packed up all the pumps, IV tubing, extra bandages and medications and took them all back to the hospital.  That week Seth got the lines used for giving chemotherapy and IV nutrition taken out of his chest.  It was a great feeling seeing Seth on his way to being a regular little kid again!
 Seth’s test results still show cancer in his bone marrow (75 cancer cells per 1 million healthy cells); however, the cancer doesn’t seem to be spreading and all of his tumors are gone.  Praise God!!!!!!!!  Up to this point we have done everything we can medically for Seth.  Seth will not be eligible for another transplant for 1 1/2 years.  All we can do now is pray and wait.
 Seth is a busy little guy.  Even though he can’t see, he walks and runs through the house just like any two-year-old.  He’s discovered how to get into the toilet, and loves “car rides “ and “stroller rides”.  He can repeat just about any word you ask him to, but only when he wants to of course.  His favorite word is “NO”.  Sammy and Seth love to wrestle one another, and they are both getting used to having their little brother Colson around.
 Kale and Keely are doing well.  They have more to be thankful for each day. Kale has a new job working for Monaco in the Spokane Valley. Our new edition, Colson Ray sleeps most of the day.  Keely’s left work to become a full time mom.  Sam started gymnastics.  We are very thankful for our friends and family. Thank you again!  Please keep Seth in your prayers.

LOVE US,
 

Kale, Keely, Samantha, Seth, & Colson ;<)
