Good news!!! 🎉 We get to space out scans. 🙌

The neurosurgeon said there was some growth, but it was small. He also said it could be up to five years before the next surgery, which somehow feels way too close and like an eternity at the same time. It’s a weird tension to live in.

God is good, and we are deeply grateful.

If you’re praying with us, pray we can “be where our feet are.” That we stay present and don’t feel like we have this huge count down clock running in the background. Pray that we love the people God has placed closest to us well and that we don’t borrow worry from a future that isn’t here yet—especially about surgeries that aren’t today’s assignment.

Thank you for walking a long side us! Your support and prayers are truly a gift! We will trust, He will provide!

It’s scan day. Memorial Hermann before sunrise it is!

Which means a little anxiety is along for the ride.

That’s one of the long-term souvenirs a brain tumor leaves you with. This is just part of our normal now, living with a tumor, routine MRIs, and knowing future brain surgeries are likely somewhere down the road. It hit me yesterday when Hayden asked me if more surgeries were in my future. We were honest and said yes but we hoped it’s many years down the road. I could hear a shift in his tone when he asked us how long before?! We’re so grateful for where I am. The residual damage could be so much worse but there are moments when anger and sadness creep in when this whole thing is still part of or normal conversations and our kids worries. Just keeping it real. We can love Jesus and still hate brain tumors right?!

So, today’s plan….coffee and chick-fil-a ✅ ✅, MRI ➡️ walk straight over to the neurosurgeon so he can read it with us in real time. No waiting, no spiraling (okay, less spiraling).🤷🏻‍♀️🤣♥️

We are as emotionally prepared as caffeine and chicken minis can make a person.

If you think of us today, we’d love prayers. Pray for peace, calm hearts, and good news. We truly feel like things will be stable.

Also, this weekend Josh and I had the privilege of speaking at a marriage conference. Truly such a gift—one we don’t take lightly. God is faithful in the big moments and the scan days, and sometimes He lets them happen in the same week… because he knew we needed it.

So, we are grateful, a little nervous, very caffeinated and fully trusting. We will keep trusting because we know He will provide!

Another day in the books…..

We are back in a week and a half for my scans and two weeks for Hadleys treatment. It’s been busy but God has been good!

We came. We coffee-ed. We boba tea-d. We snacked. We saw doctors, did appointments, labs, infusions, crafts, and Chick-fil-A….AND we conquered…ish. Well, we finished and that counts right?!💪 We’re back in two weeks for another marathon treatment day. 🙄🥴❤️‍🩹

Now these girls are campaigning hard for a Target run as a “poke prize” and payment for their troubles today. 👀😂🤷🏻‍♀️ So… does mom get a prize too? Asking for a friend. 👀🙄😶‍🌫️🤣

Now off to survive Houston traffic home. Thanks for the prayers, we felt every single one. ❤️ We will trust, He will provide! kkhent

Still going, gracious I love these littles!

We’re doing this thing, y’all. Medical appointments all day, but somehow we’re also running a craft table and a fast-food operation. Hobby Lobby ain’t got nothing on us!

10/10 multitasking. 2/10 energy. Only a few more hours left to go on this infusion then we are DONE!

We will trust. He will provide!

Pray for our girl....

Hadley is officially **down for the count** today.
Treatment side effects showed up loud and uninvited a day later than expected and they’re being pretty wicked. She missed school today and if you know her, you know THIS IS A BIG DEAL! She LOVES school.

She’s bummed and rightfully so. She's missing game and a performance for cheer she worked hard for and that stings. There were tears. There was disappointment and there may have also been a mother/daughter trip through 7 Brew this afternoon when things got a little too heavy and she needed to get out of the house. Hello sweet and salty for mom and Mango smoothie for our girl!

If you’d pray, we’d appreciate it:
• Pray these side effects pass quickly
• Pray her body rebounds sooner rather than later
• Pray she’s back on her feet doing what she loves again soon

This part is hard but we’re holding steady and trusting her body will catch up. Thanks for walking with us through the messy middle. 💛 Her 13 year old heart still wrestles with it more on some days, today is one of those days! We will trust, He will provide.

Long day ahead, prayers appreciated….

Busy week for Hadley….

You win some, you lose some.

This week’s appointments were a mixed bag.

Endocrinology went well. We’re in a stable place and, surprisingly, making progress in a few areas we didn’t expect. We went from concern with her not growing at all, like NONE in the past few years, to growing 2 inches in the last SIX months! They brought her out and measured her again because no one could believe! That’s a win, and we’ll take it with gratitude.

Hematology, on the other hand, brought a curveball. We’re heading toward another iron infusion and sooner rather than later. It’s only been a few months since the last one. 🥴 Her labs are confusing to her team. Her iron serum levels are normal, which tells us she can absorb iron. We expected there to be an issue there in light of her autoimmune stomach disease affecting absorption but instead
her ferritin keeps dropping way to quickly. That pattern usually points to blood loss… yet there’s no clear evidence of bleeding anywhere. So for now, it remains a mystery.

The plan is to move forward proactively rather than wait for levels to crash. Another infusion soon is the best, wisest step, even if it’s not the one we hoped for.

Not the update we wanted, but it’s the one we have. We’ll keep doing what we’ve always done, just do the next right thing, then the next and the next! He’s always been faithful to meet us there.

Thank you for walking with us—your prayers and encouragement are a gift!

We will trust. He will provide!

Merry Christmas dear friends!

This morning is slow and gentle. 🤍
Hadley is wiped out from treatment and has slept since we got home yesterday afternoon. Josh and I rotated checking and medicating her all night. Today’s plan: We’ll keep her medicated, let her lay low, and pray those wicked headaches and body aches stay far, far away.

This morning it’s coffee in hand, a perfectly peaceful view and gratitude for a calm start to the day. We’re praying we can keep this pace slow, steady and keep her feeling well.

We are also deeply thankful for you. For your prayers, your messages, your steady presence as witnesses to our story. You have spoken encouragement in our hardest moments and celebrated with us in the victories. That matters more than you know, and we are truly grateful.

Yesterday, after a hard time getting her accessed, Hadley and I both hit a wall. A wave of grief, frustration, and anger rolled over us. We are thankful for treatment but some days the reality that we’re still here is just heavy. She cried and said, “Mom, I’m just so mad I have to be here.” I teared up and said, “Me too, sister. Me too. This is just so hard. You get to be mad.” And then we just hugged in silence.

God is still good—even when hard things keep coming. Suffering isn’t the absence of His goodness. It’s often where we see it most clearly and we did see it in small moments yesterday! He met us there and for that I am thankful! We continue to find hope in hard places.

We will keep trusting knowing He will provide. Merry Christmas dear friends!

Huge praise report — her scans show no reflux. That alone feels like a mountain moved. We’re still waiting on the rest of the results, so no real answers yet, but her team will let us know next steps.

In the meantime, we did what any reasonable people do during long hospital days: found an obscenely large little debbie, spent way too much money on snacks, coffee, and matching Christmas pajamas… and honestly? Worth every penny.

These girls were incredible yesterday… brave, steady, and full of joy in the middle of it all. Grateful for the good news we do have and trusting the Lord with the rest. We will trust, He will provide!

Hollyn is obsessed with wrapping presents. If you get one, I have NO idea what’s in it! She’s just wrapping things from her room at this point. 🤔😂😶‍🌫️

Team Fults Update: Hollyn’s Kidney Scans

Today is a long one for our girl. Hollyn is spending the day at Texas Childrens for kidney scans and a whole lineup of testing under sedation. These days are never easy, but we soften the blow with a Buc-ee’s run. She handles them with that quiet, stubborn courage that feels way too big for her little body.

We’d love your prayers. Pray for clear results, wise doctors, and a straightforward plan for what comes next. This mama heart is praying for mercy in the details and peace in the waiting.

Hadley is here to cheer her on and help her pick out post testing prizes. They’re already planning their attack. 🤔😂 because if you’re going to spend your day being poked, prodded, and scanned, you better believe you’re walking out with something sparkly, squishy, or otherwise fabulous. Priorities. 💁‍♀️✨

Thank you for loving our girl and cheering her on. We feel it every time.

We will trust. He will provide.
