HI EVERYONE,
I JUST WANTED TO SHARE WITH YOU ALL THE BEAUTIFUL EXPERIENCE WE HAD THIS MORNING AS WE WERE LEAVING TO COME TO OAKLAND TO BEGIN CIARA'S TREATMENT. WHEN WE DROVE UP TO MELANIE AND KEVIN'S HOME WE WERE AMAZED TO SEE THE MOST PERFECT RAINBOW THAT WE HAVE EVER SEEN--SO VIVID AND COMPLETE AND IT SEEMED TO BE RIGHT OVER THEIR HOME. IF YOU DON'T REMEMBER, MELANIE ALWAYS LOVED RAINBOWS AND EVEN AT HER WEDDING SHE HAD ALL THE COLORS OF THE RAINBOW AND WHEN SHE AND KEVIN WALKED OUT OF THE CHURCH THERE WAS A BEAUTIFUL RAINBOW IN THE SKY THAT DAY ALSO. IT HAS BEEN THEIR SIGN THAT GOD HAD BLESSED THEM. YOU CAN IMAGINE THE JOY AND COMFORT WE FELT THIS MORNING--IT SEEMED TO TAKE AWAY THE STRESS FROM ALL OF US AND CIARA WAS SO HAPPY -- AS A SIGN THAT WE ARE NOT ALONE!! THIS WAS CIARA'S PROMISE.---
CIARA'S SURGERY TO PLACE HER BROVIAC AND DO A LUMBAR PUNCTURE WENT WELL--SHE IS SO TUFF--AN IDEAL PATIENT!! TOMORROW SHE WILL HAVE AN MRI AND THEN THEY WILL BEGIN THE CHEMO IN THE AFTERNOON. I WILL FIND OUT MORE ABOUT HER CHEMO SCHEDULE AND WHAT WE CAN EXPECT FROM THAT.
WE HAD ANOTHER GREAT SURPRISE AND BLESSING TODAY---WONDERFUL FRIENDS OF MELANIE AND KEVIN'S HAVE OFFERED A HOME FOR THEM TO USE WHILE CIARA IS HAVING HER TREATMENT AT OAKLAND.
IT IS LOCATED IN MORAGA-A BEAUTIFUL PEACEFUL AREA NOT TOO FAR FROM THE HOSPITAL. WE HAVE BEEN SO BLESSED WITH SO MANY OFFERS TO HELP FIND A PLACE TO STAY AND NOW THIS!!!!! THANKS TO ALL WHO HAVE BEEN HELPING!!!!!
I TOOK THIS PICTURE AS WE WERE GETTING READY TO LEAVE THIS MORNING--IT DOESN'T DO JUSTICE TO THE BEAUTIFUL, VIBRANT COLORS OF THIS RAINBOW-- BUT LOOK AT THE SMILES--THEY ARE BRIGHT!!
Sydney, Caleigh & Giana were off to school for Pajama Day, and Ciara was off to the hospital to begin her fight. Life can feel so cruel at times like this. I love this picture...so much love between all 4 of these girls!
