"It has been A LONG time since I have posted an update on Adler's page, but I just personally wanted to let each and every one of you know how grateful I am for the countless ways you have shown your love and support to Adler and to our family since Adler was diagnosed in May.
Today was a big day. Adler got his last dose of chemotherapy in the course of his treatment. Maintenance will include chemo...but PRAISE GOD THE HARD PART IS OVER!!! Leaving clinic today (in record time by the way) was surreal. When we arrived I had tears in my eyes because I could see rounds occurring on the oncology floor. It took me back to May and those hours that WE waited for all fifteen of those people to come to Adler's room to visit us. The waiting, the uncertainty, the terror in my heart, the calm knowing God would be with us. Today I cried all the way home because I am so thankful to God for the bold ways God has demonstrated His presence with us. Adler said, "Mom, it's okay to cry. It's not good to try to hold it in." Ah the lessons he has learned. God has preserved Adler every single second of this ordeal, and today has been full of reflections of what is behind us. I haven't done much looking forward in 2010, and I haven't felt much like looking back...but today I've done a little of both. I wish I could look each of you in the eyes and tell you personally thank you, thank you, thank you. Thank you for being God's hands in action. Thank you for lifting us up in constant prayer, for crying with us on those hard days, for celebrating with us on days like today. You have loved us through each step of this journey, and I wanted to let you know that my tears of joy today were tears of gratefulness to God and to you."

What a courageous family. What Christian soldiers they are.
I've said it before and will again... they put me to shame to live their faith so strongly in the face of such adversity.
Lord, continue to minister to these great emmisaries of your Kingdom. Amen

With tears in the eyes and humblness in the heart...

We/I should be the one thanking you. For when those days came along that we all have, all I had to do was to come here and see all those who really had troubles in their lives and family and I would have to fall on my face before our Heavenly Father and beg for forgiveness for feeling sorry for myself. When I would pray for Adler and his healing I also would pray for your family as I knew you all were living in short clips of time. I have seen this played out before in others. I know that God don't give this stuff to everybody because, like me, they don't have the tuffness to cope with it. Your family has lifted my spirits many of a day when I needed it because of being in prayer. The Lord always blesses me when I forget about my little world and reach out to and for others who need it more then me. So again I say thanks for being there for me too. Someday I will get to meet Adler and see the work our Father has begun in him thru this. Phil 1:6 Being confident of this very thing, that He who has begun a good work in you will complete it until the day of Jesus Christ. Thank you and your family for sharing Adler with us here and thank you for allowing us this peek into you family.......Dusty

Ma'am, I went thru cancer with my mother, grandpa, and my mother in law, and the best thing I can say is keep positive and keep up the prayers and support. It sounds like you had a great day after alot of hard times, and I'm truly happy for you and your son!

Here's the latest update from Adler's dad, praise God.
The reminder tonight was the power of God. Adler and I talked about what a difference a year makes. A year ago he was in the worst of his chemo and was a sick little boy: no hair, could barely get out of bed. Today, a full head of hair, full day of school and he gave me 100% effort and kept up with every kid in basketball practice. To God be all glory and praise.
This post isn't really an update on Adler but rather a chance for me to reflect and share my joy in the Lord and His Majesty. Maybe these group visits are here for me as a reminder of just how Great our God truly is.
Christmas is coming soon. Prepare Ye the Way of the Lord, and Be blessed by the Lord as you prepare for the celebration. As always. Much love you.
