Holly’s Mighty Army

02/08/2026

As tonight marks one year since Holly's life-changing diagnosis at Wakemed in Raleigh and being transferred to Chapel Hill, I'm reminded of the darkest night and the brightest light that followed. While others watched the Super Bowl, I received the devastating news of a cancerous mass in Holly's stomach, and our lives were forever altered. That day was a turning point, one that led me down a path I never could have imagined. But even in the midst of uncertainty, hope shone through. Today, Holly is not only cancer-free but radiating health and happiness. Her strength was tested by chemotherapy, hospital stays, and time away from school, but her spirit remained unbroken. I'm forever grateful for the prayers, love, and support that buoyed us during the toughest times. Our cup overflows with blessings 🙏.
Sending much love and prayer 💛

Woke up to the best news!

Trump signed the Mikaela Naylon Give Kids A Chance Act! I am praying this makes a difference. Pediatric cancer is one of the lowest cancers to be funded for. Kids are having to take VERY harsh adult doses of chemotherapy because little to no work has been done to provide pediatric doses..
Unfortunately childhood/pediatric cancer is not rare. The reality of pediatric cancer has been downplayed and is disappointing in my opinion.. I pray this leads in the right direction that so many are desperately needing. 💛🥺🫶🏻

Just received amazing news from Hollys physical therapist!
Holly in the next few weeks will be discharged from services due to her amazing progress! She is steady on her feet again, able to stand up easily without assistance, climbing stairs like a champ, and able to do typical physical exercises and movements herself! 🤍
So proud of the work our sweet girl continues to do! ✨💛

God,
Please wrap Your arms around every family sitting in hospital rooms tonight.
Be near to the parents holding onto hope, the children facing more than they should,
and the families waiting for answers they never expected to need.

For those receiving diagnoses, bring clarity, strength, and peace in the unknown.
For children in beds instead of homes, fill their rooms with comfort, light, and moments of joy.
For families whose Christmas looks different this year, remind them that love still lives here —
in every hand held, every prayer whispered, every breath taken together.

Carry the weary, steady the scared, and surround each family with hope, compassion, and grace.
Let them feel they are not alone, today or ever.

Amen.

Merry Christmas Eve everyone 🥺🫶🏻 please count your blessings and enjoy every millisecond with your kids and family. ❤️

Sending much love from our family to yours 🫶🏻

Good evening, everyone 🤍
CBS 17 shared a short update on our sweet Holly earlier today for anyone who may want to watch.
We are so incredibly thankful for all of the love, support, and prayers, and endlessly grateful to God for the blessing of Holly being in remission.
Our hearts are especially with the families whose Christmas may look a little different this year. ❤️‍🩹💛
Sending much love and prayers to anyone walking through the unimaginable.

Update on Holly: 🐞 💛
She is doing great and feeling well since her port removal!

This morning the girls woke up and instantly wanted to play in the little bit of snow we do have, they are surely making the most of it! 🥰❄️

Today marks a truly incredible milestone — Holly’s cancer journey has officially come to an end, and her port has been removed. ❤️

My heart is overflowing with joy, yet as I sit here waiting for her to wake up, there’s a mix of emotions that’s hard to put into words. This journey changes you. The families we’ve met, the little warriors we’ve loved, and the precious souls who gained their wings… they stay with you forever. Once you step into this world, you never walk out the same.

But today, gratitude is at the center of it all. Grateful to God, grateful for the miracles we’ve witnessed, and grateful for the strength that carried us through the darkest, scariest moments. This road was heavy, but it was also filled with lessons, love, and unimaginable resilience.

Here’s to healing, hope, and Holly’s beautiful new chapter. 💛🫶🏻✨
