HOPE.LOVE.FAITH

Tomorrow is a big day. Huge.

I should be sleeping… but I’m so nervous I can’t. We check in to Sloan at 9:30. Ronan will have anesthesia, they will do bone aspirations from the front and back, and then the CT scan.

Please continue to send great thoughts his way. I know the scans are going to come back with amazing results. I have faith that what we are doing is working. Ronan is so strong — he is going to beat this disease, and we will never look back.

Tonight, I took a step back and looked at my family. I know this is my blog, and I sit here and talk about how hard this is on me… but I hope you all know that I understand this is hard on our entire family. Sometimes I feel selfish going on and on about myself, but talking about how deeply this is hurting everyone else is almost too much for me to bear.

It is evident that everyone is hurting and suffering from this. It breaks my heart to watch my family go through it — to see how scared and sad they are. Everyone puts on such a brave face, but when I step back and observe certain moments, it hits me like a slap in the face.

I wish I could take away everyone’s pain and sadness. I would give anything to have my three boys home with Woody and me, all under the same roof, everyone healthy.

I am hurting — but so are so many other people.

I am trying my best to be a good wife, mom, daughter, friend… sometimes I don’t even know which direction to turn. It all feels overwhelming. I’ve been doing a lot of talking with Quinn. I miss Liam, who has been staying with Mimi and Papa. I hate that because of this disease, my three little guys can’t be together the way they used to be.

Tonight, I am just sad.

But tomorrow, I will be brave.

I love you all. A special I love you tonight to one of my favorites, Liz. You know why. You are the truest of the true.

Please continue to send extra love tomorrow for our little Rockstar. I will update you as soon as I know something.

Thank you, all.

    Yes, most of all have faith…because…that is what Jesus is going to be looking for when He comes back..so girl…you…are on the right track! Keep that faith…I know it is hard…the faith of Jesus…the faith He had in the Father when He was in the garden just before He headed for the hardest thing anyone could do. Just know that Jesus went through what you are going through…agony…He truly cares and is to be trusted.

    Mia,

    You may not remember me, and that’s OK. I’m Alicia (Cary) Schwab. I’ve been reading your blogs through Jen Woodard. This is not something I’ve felt strong enough to share with everyone as you have. But as I read your post I can relate somewhat. My Husband was diagnosed with Cancer a couple months ago. It’s not by any means to the level as your little boys. But all your feelings I have had as well and sometime…..at least for me l know that if it’s normal that makes me feel better. We are at the 3rd week of his treatment and have three more to go. I hoping to be stronger then I have been this past week. It all just builds and builds…..I just wanted you to know I’m inspired by you. You are amazing….. for your Ronan and your family. I’m thankful you’ve had the strength to share this. It’s helped me. Just keep doing what you’re doing….

    Your blog is inspirational for me…and raw…and smacks me with reality of life. It is LIFE that will sustain and remain and conquer all things. I admire you and your family. This ugly thing called cancer will die. Your loving family will thrive…ALL of you! Together.
    This is the season of MIRACLES, LOVE, HOPE, FAITH, JOY, PEACE. May all good things come true for you and your family!
    Prayers are ongoing for your family.
    Merry Christmas.

    Maya,

    We are praying that the tumor has shrunk a great deal. We are also praying for Ronan’s doctors and medical staff and your family. Lean on the Lord, He’s stronger than all of us.

    Enjoy each moment of Christmas that you can.
