Round 3: get out the way

-



Good evening everyone! So it’s been a while since my mom let me write to y’all (that’s how we say you all down here in LOUISIANA)! Well I just want to share some amazing news.
So as many of you all know my last series of test in early February went well. I mean my scans were negative, no lesions in my brain. That yucky mass that was in my groin, vanished. I mean who would have thought? If you recall a special doctor who does radiation therapy had come to talk to my mom during our first stay. No need for that, praise God. Also my bone marrow has been 🥋👊🏽cancers toosh with the help of the medicine and with God by my side!


Well some of you may know that I was admitted this past Tuesday, right after my big sister Emelia’s birthday. Plan was for 5 days of chemotherapy. Only 2 medications this time (cytarabine: 2/day and etoposide: 1/day). I was a little worried that my body would be overwhelmed with all the medicine, and we would be here for a long time. Guess what? We are going home today 🎉🎊! God poured his blanket of protection over me, like Daniel in the lions🦁 den. 
My parents are packing up to get ready as I write...well I’m actually sleeping. 
I am also excited because I just turned 9 months! Can you believe it? I’m sure my parents weren’t thinking about that moment. Just taking things day by day, with my leukemia that is.

So as if on que, I’ve thrown up. 🤮 quite a lot. So they gave me some medicine and I fell asleep. Again? Yes that’s what we babies often do: eat, 😴 and 💩. In my case there is also a lot of 🤢🤒😷🏩
Well my siblings came to accompany me home, they sure were happy to see me! As was I. Currently I am hanging with my mom. I’ve thrown up a few more times since we have gotten home. This means changes of clothes. 
My prayer is this
Jesus, may I not feel so sick that I don’t eat. May you keep my body strong. I know that my numbers may go down, but protect me from outside illness. Amen

    Psalms 42: (8) By day the Lord directs his love, at night his song is with me, a prayer to the God of my life.

    You are Emerson life and we come to the giver of life that preserve life. That you would give Emerson an appetite to eat and gain strength to fight off anytime thing that would try to harm his body.

    That you cause his body numbers not to go down. You created these jar of clay from dust and you cause all things to function in these bodies. You spoke life in these bodies and every function to your likeness.

    Thank you for perservering his little life for your glory.

Caution, this post is real, as they all are. However it may make some of you uncomfortable.  Have you every watched Moana? There is a scene where moana is after Maui. Well in the middle of the night as she is voyaging there is a storm, she ask the water to help. She wakes up ship wrecked on an island and is upset, because she believes she is off course. She realizes she landed on the island where Maui has been. Well let me give you a better picture. The disciples sitting in a boat, and there is a bad storm. All the while Jesus is asleep. WHAT! The disciples in fear of drowning awoke Jesus.  “And they went and woke him, saying, "Save us, Lord; we are perishing." And he said to them, "Why are you afraid, O you of little faith?" Then he rose and rebuked the winds and the sea, and there was a great calm. And the men marveled, saying, "What sort of man is this, that even winds and sea obey him?"” ‭‭Matthew‬ ‭8:25-27‬  Since Emerson was diagnosed I have held on ...

New Beginnings...

So as many of you may know our family is not on any sort of social media. However since the birth of our 3rd child, Emerson Daniel, this past summer, I wanted an opportunity to keep those whom are close to use up to date with our lives. As you may come to notice that I will be writing a lot about our youngest as we have been given some medical mysteries with this guy. God has and always been faithful to us during this time. Now I am hoping you will be patient with me, as this whole blogging is fairly new to me. As you will see there are pages, with specified topics. However new updates should show up on the main page when you check in. Please do not hesitate to leave messages, and above all prayers. In Christ The Calderons

Good morning.  I want to only place thoughts in my head and my heart that are going to leave lasting memories. This is sometimes hard to do. I’ve realized this as I walk with Christ. Many assume that oh those Jesus loving folk got it all together, they just call on His name and blessings rain down. Well yeah that’s true...but even the most righteous have to go through trials and tribulations. I mean have you heard of Job, he got his world turned upside down. Watch to find out about Job So is everything Emerson going through fair? As his mother I would say absolutely not. Do I believe there is a greater purpose in all of Mac’s suffering and his road to recovery and being rid of this leukemia? YES! So despite my flesh wanting to yell from mountain top of how unfair this all is, my spirit desires that I continue to trust in Jesus and his plan for my son. Now that doesn’t mean I disregard treatment or forsake the wisdom and knowledge of the     medical staff. I kn...
