Tribute to Rob Swift...RIP!!!

I WOULD JUST LIKE TO SAY A FEW WORDS ABOUT ROB... HE WAS A WONDERFUL GUY, FOOTBALL PLAYER, BROTHER, AND ALL AROUND FRIEND!! ROB WAS ONE IN A MILLION, AND THAT SMILE WOULD WARM YOUR HEART! FOR THOSE OF US WHO KNEW HIM, WE WERE BETTER FOR IT! TO LOOSE HIM AT SUCH A YOUNG AGE WAS HARD... BUT WE WILL NEVER FORGET YOU ROB!!
WE LOVE YA... SEE YOU ONE DAY SOON!
PS: SEE YA AT THE GATES...

June Fundraiser!!!

WE HAD ZACH SPENCER COME AND VISIT US FRIDAY; HERE AT VANDERBILT. HE IS NOT ONLY ONE TALENTED MUSICIAN... BUT HE IS A SUPER NICE GUY!!! WE ARE FANS FOR LIFE!!! "GO ZACH!!!" PLEASE LOOK UP HIS MYSPACE PAGE EITHER ON MY MYSPACE, OR BY:
http://profile.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=user.viewprofile&friendID=25059168
He has a new CD coming out...look for it soon!!

We are all looking forward to working with Zach and the other musicians at the Fundraiser! We will be sure to update you on everything that is going on with that event...

Jaden is still in Hospital, and we are having issues with his Philadelphia Chromosome... please pray about that!! God willing, we can work through this problem!! He is on steroids also, so his blood sugar level is wack again... and that is no fun. This medication also makes him moody & depressed, so we are trying to stay mellow and calm. ;O

Thank you again for your prayers, and support!!
God bless
Heather

Thank you to all those who are helping with the Non-Profit Fundraiser to find the cure for childhood cancer, diabetes, and autism... God bless you!!!

JADEN WANTS TO PUT TOGETHER A NON-PROFIT FUNDRAISER FOR CHILDHOOD CANCER, DIABETES, AND AUTISM. HE WANTS TO HELP FIND A CURE FOR CANCER & DIABETES THE MOST...AS HE CONSIDERS HIS AUTISM "SPECIAL"! SO DO WE...HE IS OUR SPECIAL LITTLE MAN!!! WE LOVE HIM JUST THE WAY GOD GAVE HIM TO US!!
IT IS IMPORTANT FOR HIM... THAT EVERYONE KNOWS "HE IS OK WITH WHO HE IS"!!

ANYWAY, WE JUST WANT TO THANK THOSE PEOPLE WHO ARE INTERESTED IN GETTING SOMETHING TOGETHER: TOM ROADY, ZACH SPENCER, BOBBY DEYOE, THE STANDARDS ... AND ANYONE ELSE WHO WILL, OR MAY HELP JADEN WITH THIS PROJECT! (Pics loaded funny guys...sorry!)

GOD BLESS EACH OF YOU!! IT WILL TAKE EFFORT & DESIRE TO GET THIS ACCOMPLISHED, BUT IF WE STRUM FOR THE NOTE... WE SHOULD HIT THE KEY!! ;)

FOR ALL OF YOU THAT CONTINUE TO SUPPORT JADEN... PLEASE PRAY THAT WE CAN RAISE ENOUGH MONEY TO HELP IN THE EFFORT TO FIND A CURE. PRAYERS ARE THE BEST GIFT OF ALL, AND THERE ARE SO MANY CHILDREN HURTING OUT THERE. THANK YOU!!
IN CHRIST
HEATHER
PS: I will continue to update you all on this project! Thanks you again! ;)

Blast from the past!

Dylan with Grammy DD! Rain Forest Cafe' in Nashville... yummy!

Pray for Jaden...

I will not forget; dear Lord, that you gave your life for me... even when my heart is torn, I will trust you Lord!! Even in the darkest hours... I will trust you Lord!! When my world is shattered, and it seems all hope is gone...yet I will praise you LORD!!!

Please pray for Jaden... he has a cold. We just need to get a few more days at home before we are admitted back at Vanderbilt. We are getting month by month closer to his radiation treatment. God willing... one day Jaden will look back on these times, and praise God for the strength to pull through!!

God bless you!
Heather

Holiday weekend...

WE HAD THE BEST TIME THIS PAST WEEKEND WITH FRIENDS & FAMILY!! IT WAS REALLY GOOD FOR ALAINA & JADEN, AND THEY SEEMED VERY UPLIFTED BY OUR HOLIDAY WEEKEND!! WE GOT TO PLAY GAMES, GO TO THE MOVIES, PLAY DRESS-UP, AND EAT LOTS OF GOOD FOOD. THANK GOD FOR GOOD FRIENDS!!!

JADEN SEEMS TO BE FEELING ALOT BETTER... HE IS ON A HIGH WITH HIS BLOOD LEVELS RIGHT NOW. SOON; THEY WILL START TO SWING DOWN AGAIN...RIGHT BEFORE WE GO BACK INTO THE HOSPITAL ON THE 24TH. (JUST THE WAY THE CHEMO WORKS AT TIMES) PLEASE PRAY FOR JADEN, AS HIS TREATMENTS SEEM HARDER FOR HIM TO TAKE THESE DAYS. :(

I THINK HE IS JUST TIRED OF BEING POKED AND PRODDED!! I AM SURE YOU GUYS CAN IMAGINE HOW HE FEELS? SOON; WE WILL START RADIATION...AND I AM VERY NERVOUS ABOUT THIS. THEY WILL RADIATE HIS HEAD AND SPINE... WITH HIS AUTISM BEING SO MUCH BETTER THAN IT WAS... I AM WORRIED ABOUT TISSUE DAMAGE! PLEASE PRAY, PRAY, PRAY FOR JADEN ON THIS MATTER!! ALSO, FOR ME TO HAVE PEACE WITH THIS ISSUE AS WELL.


GREG IS MOVING FROM BASE TO BASE... AND WILL BE OUT-PROCESSING HIS SOLDIERS SOON ON A NEW BASE IN AFGHANISTAN. WE HOPE TO HAVE HIM HOME BY LATE MARCH, OR EARLY TO MID APRIL??? KEEP PRAYING FOR ALL OUR SOLDIERS "OVER THERE"!!

FREEDOM ISN'T FREE!!!

ALSO...THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR ALL YOUR SUPPORT ON MYSPACE, FACEBOOK, AND THIS SITE!!! OUR WHOLE FAMILY WOULD LIKE TO THANK YOU FROM THE BOTTOM OF OUR HEARTS... IT MEANS THE WORLD TO US TO KNOW THAT YOU ARE PRAYING FOR JADEN & GREG!!!
GOD BLESS YOU!!
