This is What Caelan Thinks of Cancer!
"Let me taunt you some more!" Caelan says in his best French accent like the soldiers on the wall in Monty Python and the Holy Grail.
This picture was taken about a month ago, but it perfectly displays his attitude. He had chemotherapy yesterday and returned home today. He is doing great, although in the past, he has run a fever within 24 hours of his chemo treatments. We are praying and thank you for all of your prayers. God is answering. He and Mom returned home this afternoon. He is playing with cars and Erika is taking a nap - spending the night in the hospital is exhausting. The doctors feel like he is doing well. He has now had 4 of the 48 doses of chemotherapy and 2 of the 4 major treatments that he will have. He still has not thrown up or shown any ill effects that we were told he would have. My wife even asked today if they were sure the chemotherapy was strong enough! They assured her it was. We continue to praise the Lord and look to Him, though this continues to be stressful and difficult at times. But, God has been so faithful - and so have all of you. Grace and Peace to you all!
One more thing: You would think we could comb his hair, wouldn't you?
Praise God he is doing so well!! He is just precious. Will continue to pray for each of you.

It's 10:30 pm here, which means it's about 12:30 in the afternoon on Wednesday where you are. We just wanted to send a note of thanksgiving for what our Father is doing in Caelen's life...and yours. It is such a joy to see the Creator's work in Caelen's eyes and face. Your friendship is a blessing. We are praying!
And, please tell your wife that I (the Mrs) miss her more today than I ever have, and that's a lot! She has always been one of those friends that touched my soul deeply. Life in CA would not have even come close to being the same if she and I hadn't shared it together. Erika, I love you and am grateful to call you sister!
