PZ : The Hope we have

The past few days have been a whirlwind of emotions, information, tears and joy. 

From the moment our Doctor called us and told us to go to the hospital to meet with the pediatrician, we knew something big was up. 

When the pediatrician said we would be taking Jax to Children’s Hospital via the ferry, we knew something big was up. 

When the same pediatrician came back and said the Medi-vac Helicopter was going to take Jax to BCCH, we knew something big was up.

When BCCH told us the blood work showed Leukemia and needed to be confirmed by bone marrow biopsy, we knew something big was up.

When BCCH told us that it was confirmed that Jaxon had full blown Pre-B A.L.L, we knew our lives would be forever changed.

And I in no way want to downplay the roller coaster of emotions and pain that this had been, but through it all we have been told what was happening and what was going to happen to make it better. I hope you realize how freeing that was for us.

We knew what Jaxon’s problem was.

We knew we were in the best place we could be (BCCH) to treat this disease.

We know that his chances of having a full recovery over time is very high.

We know that God and His people have been overwhelmingly supporting us as His Church through and in all of this.

We ALSO know that many, many parents do not know. They don’t know what’s wrong with their kid. They don’t know who’s going to have the answers. They don’t know what treatment will look like. They don’t know what kind of impact this will have on their normal everyday lives. They don’t have family to support them. They don’t have friends to support them. They don’t have the family of Christ to support them. They don’t have Christ to be their cornerstone; their rock; their everything.

Today, please pray for those who do not have this hope.
