Happy 18th birthday, Grace Nicole!

Two years ago, on Grace 16th birthday, we were headed to Mayo Clinic looking for answers. Grace was unable to walk without assistance, heavy tremor, jerky eye movements. Many tests, many appoinments, no answers. 2011 was a diffcult year for Grace, mostly out of school, trying intense, invasive treatment options with no lasting result. December 2011, chemotherapy treatments started which began to work for her, allowing her to walk! Symptoms returned, balance declined when the time neared for the next chemo treatment, indicating her need for the chemo. Chemo has continued every 5 weeks through 2012 – 2013, allowing Grace to be (part-time) back in school in the Fall.

Good news, dear friends!

Grace has been without a chemo treatment for 12 weeks now, with only a slight tremor and minimal balance issues.

Hallelujah!

Is she “well?” She still has a slight tremor, minimal balance issues.

What’s around the corner? We don’t know, but we are grateful, grateful for God’s favor in Grace’s life.

More good news: Grace is on task to graduate from HT High in two weeks! This is a combination of God’s grace, dedicated teachers who have gone way beyond their “job,” and Grace’s continued efforts! Hallelujah!

Again, we thank you for your continued prayers for Grace’s complete healing, for the support you have shown our family.

Hallelujah!
