First Cardinals Game! 11/22/15

First cardinals game! Thanks Andre for the tickets. A little VIP treatment.

Grateful 11/20/15

Today Iam thankful for specific blessings in my life. One is the blessing that Mason's counts are good and he was cleared to travel home for Thanksgiving! He is still on chemo but doesn't have to be back to Houston until after Thanksgiving. The other two blessings are my children. With so much focus on Mason, I rarely comment about my beautiful, tender hearted, warrior of a daughter that I have. The last 3 years of her life have been nothing short of terrifying. Filled with so many unknowns and so much heartache along with so many blessings. Not only did she have her mom battle cancer but now she worries about her brother and his fight. Even though she may not physically be diagnosed with cancer she feels every pain and suffering as we do. She is stronger than any 10 year old girl I've ever met and Iam so proud to be her mom. While her dad and I travel back and forth to Texas to be with Mason she often stays in Arizona with her aunts. I know this is hard on her and there are many days she just cries her heart out, but she picks herself up and keeps going and fighting right alongside her big brother. Madisen you amaze me! You are a special daughter of God and Iam so happy I get to call you mine and you chose me to be your mom. IU


Baybrook Ward 11/18/15

Thank you to the Baybrook ward youth for welcoming Mason with open arms. Even though Mason has some physical limitations, he never allows that to dictate his happiness. He isn't the least bit afraid to go and meet new people and have fun. And as his mom I couldn't be more thankful to kids that love and accept him no matter what. Nothing about what Mason is going through is easy and these new friends have made all the difference. There is so much good in this world!



Switching Donation Site to YouCaring

We are switching our donation site to YouCaring, they have less fees. Mason is still out in Houston and has 5 more months of treatment out there. His deductible will start over in January and I don't need to go in details of how financially draining this has been. The good news is he is getting chemotherapy treatment that his doctors believe will be effective and he is tolerating it pretty good. 
Thank you for your support and love. He knows people all over the world are praying for him.

Addis Faith Foundation 11/8/15



One of the Foundations that have helped us is Addi's Faith Foundation. They held an annual run and Mason was one of the kids that was spotlighted through them. They made this awesome poster all about him and they are displayed during the event each year. Jesse and Mason were able to get onstage and thank everyone for all their support to us and many other families fighting through pediatric brain cancer. We couldn't bear these trials without the amazing people that have so selflessly given us much needed support and prayers. We love you ALL!
