Finished!

1,209 days ago we officially began this journey of treatment for Brennen’s leukemia. Thanks be to God, Brennen took his last chemotherapy tonight and his treatment is officially over.

I can’t begin to imagine how many spoonfuls of applesauce, baby food (don’t tell Brennen), or whatever we could use to get him to take his medicine have been taken over the past 3 1/2 years. There have been many nights where Brennen has fallen asleep and I’ve had to give him his medicine while he’s not very coherent. There’s been times when he did not want to take it but ended up doing it. To think that this phase is over feels a bit surreal right now.

Thank you for praying for Brennen and our entire family. This has been a long journey but we are grateful for God’s kindness to give Brennen good health and our family strength.

Please continue to pray as the Lord brings him to your mind. There are many potential long-term side effects of the chemo including secondary cancers that we pray will never be an issue.

Oh, the depth of the riches and wisdom and knowledge of God! How unsearchable are his judgments and how inscrutable his ways!      – Romans 11:33
