Tomorrow is Day 1 of Radiation





Hello everyone!! We have had a very uneventful weekend--just the way we like it! D has been having fun just being himself and he got to play with Mema and Papas and Auntie Ariel on Saturday (my mom and her husband and his daughter). And while they were playing with Dylan, mommy (that's me!) got to escape to get a pedicure (my form of relaxation) and a much needed nap!!
Tomorrow is Dylan's first day of radiation. He will be having two sessions tomorrow, the first at 7am and the second at 2pm. He will be getting anesthesia before each session, so it's going to be a LONG day! And then we will repeat that for the rest of the week. Please pray for Dylan because they do not do radiation on infants his age very often. Pray that the radiation does it's job (to kill the cancer cells) and spares his body from its harmful side effects. We are trusting that God has given the doctors the wisdom on how to take care of Dylan, even though some of the processes are scary. We our on our knees every night praying that God heals our baby boy and we thank all of you for joining us in our plea. He is the world to us and anyone who is a parent can understand the way we feel! Please continue to pray for wisdom for the doctors and for patience and peace for us. We love you!!

Under His Wing,
Michelle, Erik and Baby Dylan

  4. I have to tell you, your blog has touched my heart and makes me realize that when i think my life is rough, I just come on here and realize it's not at all. My son who is 9, enjoys looking at pictures of Dylan, he says he feels so bad for him, it breaks his heart! Thanks for your story, and sharing it with me!
