It is hard to believe it, but a year ago today, Allyson was diagnosed with leukemia. I can remember that at this very moment, we were in surgery recovery waiting for Dr. Rob to come talk to us about what he found. By this time, we knew in our hearts that the news was not going to be good. We had no reason to still be in the hospital if the news was good.
I can hardly think about that day and type this without getting emotional. Such a difficult year it has been for all of us…what a resilient little girl Allyson is. What a true blessing she is to the world! Thank you to all who have touched our lives this year in so many ways. We appreciate and love you all more than you know (even those of you whom we’ve never met!).
Please continue to pray for our family and for Allyson’s treatment. We still have a long road ahead of us.
