Nathan got to ring THE bell yesterday after his PET scan officially showed NO sign of PTLD!
He was declared in remission a few months ago, but yesterday, his scans came back impeccable. Truly you are cancer free Nathan!
Anak… you may not fully understand how incredibly special this moment was… even if it happened on a whim, and you wanted it as quiet as possible with just me and your brilliant oncologist there. But I am so, so proud of you.
You know Nathan, not all cancer patients get to ring this bell. My mom, among plenty others, never got to… and maybe that’s why I’m extra emotional writing this.
All that torturous pain you endured fighting severe intestinal rejection just to get through three cycles of chemo - thank you, anak, for not giving up.
Father God, thank you for your faithfulness and this incredible blessing. Even when my faith wavered, You never did. Your mercy and goodness carried us when strength and hope ran thin. May You continue to bless Nathan with better health, strength, and a bright, joy-filled future ahead as we face the daunting path toward a second transplant.
And for every child, parent, and warrior still in the fight - may the same grace, healing, and unwavering love of God surround you. May miracles find their way to you, just as they did for us.
My brave warrior… you did it. Congratulations, Nathan! We may have lost the battle with your first transplant, but you won this round of the fight!!
Prayer warriors, our deepest thanks for all these years of lifting Nathan and our family up in prayer. God bless you all.
