The Waldrops / Chemo and 2 awesome 7 year olds!
Pray for Denise and Abbie Waldrop. Denise has the flu, Abbie started showing signs today of being sick and this afternoon her fever started to spike and she had a seizure. Denise and Jim took her to the ER at Hendrick and they are awaiting some last test results and will probably be home tonight. The docs think Abbie had a febrile seizure. Keep them in your prayers for quick recoveries. God bless you Abbie and Denise, and Jim and Kenny stay well!

Jack's counts were good today! Huge birthday bash at chemo. Little kids everywhere with big smiles on their faces was the standard visual today! When we walked in the other chemo kids were there with bells on waiting for Jack to arrive and the party to begin. So much fun! I brought a cake and balloons and I think that the whole place enjoyed the kids birthday excitement. One older man who was sitting a chair over from Jack even gave him $5 for his birthday. He said that he has 11 grandchildren and just wanted to give Jack a little something for his birthday. Today was dreamy. Dreamy because my kids turned 7 years old. When you have baby twins you don't ever think they will be old enough that your life will slow down, that day arrived and continues to amaze me. There were times this year in prayer that I asked God if Jack would turn 7, and some days just didn't know if he would see that day. I do believe that God has blessed us all immensely with days filled with splendor and precious moments, I am just so glad that the future shines bright. From our dreamy day in our home to yours, Halleluiah Praise Jehovah for His name alone is high.

And, after knowing a heart transplant recipient who out-lived all hopes and expectations, I've seen that people that have gotten a too-close look at the alternative celebrate each birthday HARD!! Yeah! for Jack -- and his sweet sister Sophie! So glad we all got to see this day with you all!
Here's hoping that your 7th Birthday was fantastic and many thoughts of good things to come with lots and lots and lots of kisses to both of you. Lots of love to DJ, Tammy and Rob too.
We keep you and yours in our prayers daily and pray for those like the Waldrops whom we have not met but can still draw strength from knowing that we care.
Love Cindy Zac and Ben (Brisbane)
