We arrived in Birmingham to get blood and platelets. Rachael has been experiencing some skin irritation issues and not feeling her best, so hopefully, the medical team will administer the necessary medication to facilitate her recovery prior to returning to Texas. Send prayers and cross fingers we don’t have to be admitted. ❤️

Rachael saw the white outside and was convinced it meant playtime. She was a little disappointed to discover it was ice and not snow but it still made the sweetest picture. Today, I’m counting my blessings beyond measure. Our baby is home, safe and warm, surrounded by food, love, and comfort. She’s happy, playing with her besties, and feeling well enough to just be a kid. I can never thank God enough for days like this. 💛

Sibling love. Grateful for these two boogers! ❤️ Rachael is still not eating so please send prayers our way for an appetite. She will not eat a single bite of anything. 😞

RayRay was feeling sluggish and not quite herself today, so I called in her emotional medicine — the twins!

And just like that… she came alive.

Kids need other kids. Play, laughter, connection — it’s not just fun, it’s healing. When you’re walking through something as hard as childhood cancer, the importance of that kind of joy becomes crystal clear. 💛

I've taken a brief break from posting to focus on embracing the ordinary moments in life. Thankfully, Rachael has been feeling remarkably well over the past few days and is truly enjoying her time at home. We had a blast at bingo night at the Mexican restaurant, she met her new homeschool teacher today, and she's currently having the time of her life with her two favorite cousins. While she's still struggling with eating, we're utilizing the NG tube every night to ensure she receives the nutrients she needs. On a lighter note, John Collin seems to have developed a fascination with her feeds and I can’t keep him from drinking them all up. (Those things are crazy expensive too) 😳.

RayRay may not be eating much right now, but don’t let that fool you, she’s apparently running on pure vibes and determination 🤣💪Still has enough energy to hop on this little toy and spin like she’s auditioning for the Olympics. This is a win in my eyes except I really need her to hang on to the calories and gain some weight.

I hate bringing bad news to start the New Year but today we learned that Rachael’s leukemia percentage was higher than the last few months of biopsies. It went from 0.9 to 7%. It has been much higher before and we still have it under control but we were really hoping for no disease so we could transplant her and be cured forever. It’s not Gods timing so we will keep pushing through life the best we can.

Is that what you think it is? Why yes, that is the NG tube she literally got today that took an extra 5 hours and an X-ray to get. She wasn’t home for 30 mins and it got hung on the cabinet door k**b and came right out! Lord help us. 🤦‍♀️

Today, as a mom, I feel torn and overwhelmed with guilt. I chose to go to work instead of going with my mother-in-law and my baby to the hospital to have her NG tube replaced after she threw it up last night. Choices like this weigh so heavily on my heart.

I carry the insurance and benefits for our family, so quitting my job simply isn’t an option. I have to keep showing up, keep performing, keep succeeding—because that’s who I am. I’m blessed with a workplace that truly takes care of me, and the last thing I ever want is to let them down. So I push myself to the limit, trying to juggle this impossible idea of “work-life balance.”

But let me be honest about how hard this really is.

I have four children. One is battling cancer, while the other three are playing sports, growing up, and just trying to be normal kids. I need to be with Rachael. I need to be at work. I need to be home with my other babies, my husband, and my household. I’m being pulled in every direction, all at once.

The weight of this life feels unbearable some days. I can’t keep up. There are always bills to pay, insurance companies to fight with, endless doctor appointments, laundry and cleaning that never stop. Grocery shopping, cooking, feeding everyone, haircuts, dentist visits, games to plan for and attend, illnesses to manage, and medications that must be remembered morning and night.

It’s constant. It’s exhausting. And some days, it feels like too much to carry—yet somehow, I keep going.

I luckily have a support system in my family and many outside friends and community that support me and for that I am grateful.

Please continue to pray for our strength and energy to keep up. If only I was as strong as my RayRay!!!

There is something so special about God placing friends in your life who walk similar paths and hold your hand through the hardest, scariest moments.

It was a long and tiresome day at the hospital, but seeing RayRay want to stay and run the halls with her friend reminded us that joy still finds its way in.

Tomorrow, RayRay will undergo her biopsy, and while this can be a daunting experience, I'm feeling a sense of calm and reassurance tonight. I'm choosing to trust in a positive outcome, but I also know that regardless of the result, I'm not alone in this journey. With my faith and the strength of my brave daughter, I'm empowered to face whatever comes next.

“For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind.” 2 Timothy 1:7
