The Beginning Is The Hardest

Written by Mardon Hickford. Posted in Mom's Blog

We’re still here… tomorrow will be one week. We’ve now spent 19 of the last 25 days in TCH. The days are dragging and Jake is so puny and blah. They did an ultrasound last night to check his belly becuase he was complaining of tummy pain. GOOD NEWS… nothing new! Today they are doing another CT since he’s had fever for more than 5 days.

It’s “standard and precautionary” but they want to see if there is infection or fungus – eww – that could be causeing his fever. All standard things from wiping out the immune system. He’s still neutrapenic and we are on continued lock down. There are two notices on our door reminding staff of his condition – they are to enter in plastic gowns and gloves. Reminds me a little of ET. It’s for his protection but also for the other children on the floor. Since he has a virus, he’s contagious and that can be dangerous.. They say the first round of chemotherapy is often the worse becuase it is such a shock to the body, especially the doses and longevity that he was on the pole. Some have said each time will get better, some have said that each recovery is different. For now, I’m praying that the first is right… that this will be the worse… all other’s will be better.

On a lighter side… thank God for good freinds who bring chocolate cake and wine! Last night Michelle brought much needed giggles. Thank you also to Tracy King for the delicious cake and Amy Gross for the Kung Fu Girl… you girls rock! Today, Pastor John visited and it was nice to pray and just talk. What a blessing our church has been for us. Charlie’s mom also came to visit. It was short but sweet and I am so thankful for these little things. (BTW I really need a good workout… they need to give us one of these unoccupied rooms and let us moms do a little Beachbody workin’ out!) 🙂

    Martin,

    My name is Jeff Fisher and i work with your mom. She a very special lady whom i am blessed to have crossed paths with. Over the past month we have joined you in praying for Jake for a complete healing; your family for strength; to be comforted by a Holy God; for wisdom that only comes from the God who created all things; for Peace that surpasses all understanding and that all your needs will be met as you goes through this chapter with a precious little boy.

    Our heart hurts with yours and we will continue to lift you up daily. On a side note; my Grandson (age 9) and i pray every night for Jake before putting him to bed.

    Jeff and Shela Fisher and Mitchell

    Hey mama! First, I am so glad that you guys have a blog now…this will make it much easier for those of us that are tracking what’s happening. I have shared the link and know that my friends who have been praying and asking about you all will be visiting your site often and leaving messages of hope!

    Second, I had wondered whether you were having workout withdrawals 🙂 I am prayerful that you will be going home sooner than later, and that you’ll be back into “beachbody” mode before too long!!! Something to shoot for, right?!?

    Big (((hugs))) and lots of love to you girlie – keep the faith and rest in His arms…

    My dear Mardon how I keep your family and little Jake in my prayers! Pray is powerful and I pray our Father’s words back to Him and plead for healing. It is okay to cry when you pray; it is okay to shout to Him with your worries; He is always there, always listening, and always loving us. We will not stop asking and pleading with Him for healing!! We are prayer warriors for you and for Jake. Please know my thoughts and strength are with you! Love, Laura

      Thank you Laura. I know you have walked this uncertain and scary road. A freind recently told me something similar. She said Jesus wept, it’s ok for me to do the same. He cried out for mercy and I can do the same. Thank you for your prayers and sharing Jake with so many. Love and hugs to you, dear friend.
