Hayden & Lyric to be in the Dickson County Fair!

Crystal and I have decided to enter Hayden and Lyric into the 2010 Dickson County Fair Pageant.

Win, loose or draw, we know how beautiful our girls are. This is more about celebrating where we are now after the toughest year a family could ever have. Everyone knows what Lyric has been through but it has effected Hayden also.

We had the girls head shots taken today by Mary at Mary Davidson Photography in Dickson TN. They will have their photos in the upcoming paper.

The girls are both being sponsored by leading Country & Gospel Promotional Company, Double E Promotions. You can view their website at www.doubleepromotions.com

Just got word that Lyric's blood results came back clean. Thank you to everyone who is praying for her. We will be back in a few weeks to check again.

Clinic Vist Today

Today Lyric will visit the Vanderbilt Children's Hospital Cancer Clinic to check her blood counts for any sign of a Leukemia relapse. Please pray for Lyric that we get good results!

Thank You to Chuck Navasky and "One Less Tear"

We would like to thank Chuck Navasky, founder of the "One Less Tear" project for sending a package of really cool stuff to Lyric.

"One Less Tear" is a cancer fighting music project with some of the biggest names in music, sports, entertainment, business, and just about every walk of life that could come to mind... together standing united as brothers and sisters in the fight against CANCER.

"In August of 1999, my life changed when I was diagnosed with a stage 1 cancerous tumor on my false vocal cord. After 3 surgeries my doctors told me I was just fine. Although I asked them to treat me with radiation and chemo, they looked at me like I was the dumbest man on earth. And being one of the 'dumbest men' on earth, I listened to them... and took no treatments."

"8 months later - the doctors found a stage 3 "Un-Operable" Tumor on my true vocal cord, it was the size of a nickel. At this point - the team of specialists realized that maybe they should have listened to one of the 'dumbest men" on earth."

"Very few of them could look me in the eye as I walked out of the hospital that day. They also told me my chances of talking again were slim, and signing was absolutely out of the question."

God Bless You,

Chuck Navasky

AJPALOOZA!!!

We had a great time this weekend with the Revera family at their AJPALOOZA party, celebrating the end of their oldest son, AJ's long battle with Aplastic Anemia. During our sixth month long stay at Vanderbilt Children's Hospital, the Revera's roomed right next door to us on the Mylosuppression Unit for a very emotional month. We have prayed for this family as they have for us. One of the hardest things to face during Lyric's fight with Leukemia has been seeing other Innocent children, we have become close to, loose their battle against Cancer but we are very thankful to the Lord for restoring AJ to full health. Please check out AJ's blog at www.ajrevera.blogspot.com/ for his full story. It will touch your heart.

Below is a wonderful video that AJ's dad Greg made for the party.
