It is really difficult to condense two and a half years into a few pages but here goes...
​
Testing began in January of 2014. After many doctor visits and many tests, MRIs, CT scans, etc., the results were in. On February 24th it was determined he had Ewing Sarcoma. This is a rare cancer found in the bones. The doctor said he would have to do chemotherapy 3 times per week for 6 months. Depending upon how that went, he may have to have radiation and a marrow transplant. 

We kept running into closed doors and brick walls in Texas. We called Jayd's childhood Doctor back home to see if there was anything he could do.

Missy shared with me that Dr. Mike had gotten back with her and had spoken with the Dean of Vanderbilt. He also spoke with the Doctor that heads the group that deals specifically with Ewing Sarcoma. 

We found out later in the day that Vanderbilt already had a case file started for Jayd and a nurse assigned to him. 

Quite a bit took place getting them to Tennessee and the preliminary appointments. On March 6th it was determined the bone marrow was saturated with the cancer. He had a port put in and began an aggressive chemotherapy treatment.

On March 9th Missy and I had some really good conversations on our way home. She had shared with me a revelation God had given her. She said that years ago, after Jayd was born, she gave him and his future to the Lord. This came to her mind as she was praying recently. The Lord caused her to realize that Jayd is His and that He loves Jayd far more than even we, his parents, do. She said that even though it hurts to think of Jayd having to go through these chemo treatments, she has such a peace. She knows that God has some purpose in this and something big to show Jayd and Jacee, as well as all of us.

We had such a good prayer that night. Missy really cried out from her heart. From a mother's heart to God's heart for Jayd's healing and God's will to be done...
