Sharing Updates and Rallying Support for Millie's Fight Against Childhood Cancer

10/14/2025

Today marks the start of Millie’s big treatment that she receives every 12 weeks. She had her spinal chemo, more chemo through her port, and will continue her daily oral chemo. This also begins her 5-day steroid pulse. Please keep our girl in your prayers. These steroid days can be especially tough on her little body. 💛

After today, Millie only has two more spinal procedures before she rings the bell in April! 🔔
When she was first diagnosed, 2.5 years of treatment felt like a lifetime away. But here we are, finally nearing that finish line. Millie’s journey is never lost on us, and we are endlessly grateful that she is here, thriving, and continuing to shine so brightly.

Please continue to pray for her strength, healing, and that her cancer would never, ever return. We are holding tightly to gratitude and hope as we finish out this chapter strong. 💕

Millie has been discharged!! 🎉🙌🙏 She will be on at-home IV antibiotics for the next couple of weeks. Her port will stay accessed, and Eric and I will be giving her the meds here at home. We’re so thankful she can finish the antibiotics from the comfort of home.

She felt SO loved during this stay. Her school family went above and beyond to support her with visits, cards, and thoughtful gifts. On top of that, the therapy dogs, amazing nurses, and wonderful doctors truly make her days brighter. 💛

We are beyond grateful for all the love and prayers that have surrounded Millie and our family these past few days. Every bit of encouragement has lifted us up and helped us to survive another inpatient stay.

Coming home is the best feeling, though OU Children’s 10th floor sure makes it hard to leave.

Our sweet Millie girl has been admitted for a blood infection. She is in such great spirits and has one of her favorite nurses💕 Please join us in praying that the antibiotics do their job quickly and wipe the infection out. We also ask for prayers as we navigate all the moving pieces that come with an inpatient stay. Thank you for lifting her up — your love and support mean so much to us! 🩵

It has been awhile since I’ve posted—so here’s an update on our Millie girl. The duality of these pictures speaks absolute volumes. Almost exactly a year ago, Millie was in the toughest part of her entire treatment plan. She lost all her hair. She battled a terrible case of mucositis. She was inpatient for two weeks because her ANC was completely depleted at zero and wouldn’t rise. She had no immune system and we were in total isolation. Her platelets bottomed out. We were truly in the thick of it. A deep valley filled with tears and pleas to God.

Fast forward to the second picture: Millie standing with her kindergarten class, singing and signing Jesus Loves Me in front of the whole school. She adores school. She LOVES her teachers and her friends so so big. She is absolutely thriving. Typing this brings tears of joy because in the valleys it’s so hard to ever imagine a mountaintop, but here we are. She made it. God is so so faithful. 🥹

I’d be lying if I said I never wrestle with fear. The urge to wait for the other shoe to drop is always there—the next fever, the next hospital stay, the next suspicious test result. Trauma makes you feel like something is lurking, ready to pull you back into the valley. In those moments, I remind myself to speak life into the darkness. To remember that no matter what valley comes, God will see us through. He’s done it before, and He will do it again.

Thank you for your love, support, and prayers. I could write a novel about all the ways God is moving in our lives right now—but for today, I’ll let these two pictures tell the story. 🥰

Spinal procedure day for our girl! 🩺💉

Millie did amazing today. Based on her labs, one of her chemo medications is being increased. Today included a spinal procedure with chemo, another chemo through her port, and tonight she begins her steroid pulse. Please continue covering our brave girl in prayer. 💛

🩵 Pray for strength and peace during this week-long steroid pulse. The steriods are so necessary but are both physically and emotionally exhausting for all of us.
🩵 Pray that her cancer would never ever return.
🩵 Pray that her chemo would have maximum effect with no lasting side effects.
🩵 Pray that any remaining cancer cells would be completely destroyed.
🩵 Pray for her sweet heart as she continues to navigate this journey.

Millie has been going to counseling and recently shared with her therapist that when she feels nervous, she remembers: “Jesus is always with me.”😭🥹 She’s only five — and she gets it. I wish she didn’t have to, but she does. We were never promised an easy life, but we were promised we’d never walk it alone. And that promise has carried us.

We’ve soaked up every bit of summer we possibly could, and it’s bittersweet to see it winding down. In just a few weeks, both Millie and I will head back to school — she’ll be starting Kindergarten, and I’ll be back in the classroom.

When I was interviewing for jobs, I was always upfront about Millie’s diagnosis. I told every employer, “We’re a package deal.” At my final interview, while I was explaining her treatment journey, the school owner stopped me mid-sentence and said: “Say no more — we are a family first school.” I knew right then and there this was the place for us. Please pray over our school year and that Millie would have the absolute best year in Kindergarten. My mama heart cannot handle that she will be in Kindergarten but I am so grateful that she is here, and that she will be right down the hall.

Thank you for continuing to send all the love, prayers and encouragement. Only about three more cycles until Millie rings that bell! 🔔
