5 little words

A few days ago, Kristina called to tell me that she had been praying for me and felt like God had given her a word for me. 5 little words.

One day at a time.

Yesterday, I walked into the bathroom at home and this little silver coin was in the soap dish. It wasn't there before.

I guess God really wants me to know to take it one day at a time :)
Cody has had a great week and I know it's only because so many of you have been praying for him. He only threw up once and that was because he was brushing his teeth which can sometimes trigger it. He's feeling really tired today, but other than that he's doing good.
It never ceases to amaze me how quickly things can change. We just found out yesterday that Cody is going to need a bone marrow transplant (BMT). Trust me, not the news I wanted to hear! We don't know ANY details at all yet, but will meet with the doctor on monday. So hang in there with us and please keep praying.
I was so full of hope that we were almost finished. Last night, I cried harder than I think I've ever cried in my life. I think there was a lot built up. I called my mom at midnight just crying and crying. I feel like I'm on emotional overload. I don't even know what to say really. I feel like my hope has been dashed. At the same time, that still small voice whispers inside of me that He is in control.
In the meantime, our move has been postponed until we talk with the doctor.

Oh, Amy! Oh, Cody! I just don't know what to say to "take the hurt away"! I know your hope has been "dashed" but this cancer journey is "one day at a time" and yes, things can change quickly during a doctor visit. Although my heart hurts for you, I also have seen many wonderful success stories with the BMT's. When these doctors get finished with all their "treatment options", Cody will be all clear of this disease. I am going to pray this weekend that the doctor sees some miracle in Cody's body that will change his mind about BMT. Amy, I am crying with you and for you and Cody. I know how "discouragement" feels and it hurts. I pray that by some miracle, you will still get to move into the cottage. I love you and am praying prayers of tears as well as prayers from my heart for you. Mama B

My Dear Sweet Amy,
I love you so much honey and would give anything in this world to be their with you and Boone. I know God is in control and he already knows whats going to happen. You just have to trust him. I know it is hard honey...but it will be ok. You need to take care of your self also. You are going to run your self down, and when Boone does get better you'll be in the bed catching up on your rest. and he'll be waiting on you to recover. lol So please try and rest a little more ok? Don't worry about tomorrow! Enjoy today that you are together. You are so special to us all. We love you both very much.

Boone and Amy, Michael said to tell you he loves and misses you both very much. He has really got close to Boone and loves him like a son. That is all he talks about that when he gets better and comes back to N.C. They are going to do some fishing, and hunting. So Boone get all the rest you can before you come back ok?
Love you both.
