Cuddle or cry

So this past week has been filled with celebration. 

✅no more chemo for Mac

  *emerson rang the bell

✅1st birthday celebration

  *drive by parade was sort of rained on by Cristobol, but we had a lovely group pass through!

 *ladies from child life @ the hospital, sang for him and got him a balloon and a cupcake that sings

  *another sing along celebration @ the clinic with cupcakes (carrot with cream cheese frosting) courtesy of Dr.V!







I must say Emerson’s brows would have told you a different story of his lack of enthusiasm at what was going on. Overall those of us who could share in physical celebration, rejoiced with him. Many of you shared your thoughts through WhatsApp and some even sent letters. 

It has been overwhelming the outpouring of love and support. I mean we have been receiving it from day 1, but this past week has been so joyous. Though I did not doubt the Lord’s capability to heal my son, I was not full of joy when I saw Mac suffering. The long days and nights of side effects and symptoms of chemo. The only thing he could do was cry, and so I held him. During the 2nd round, which was the worse, there was a long period I dare not touch him. He was fairly well sedated and his skin was burned and his mucosal lining was shedding! No mother should ever have to experience.

Though now I’m in a pickle! You see the truth is Emerson is a tad bit spoiled, I mean I can’t blame any one person, for I’m included. Thus kid loves to snuggle, I tell you! He loves to have you close. Now many who know me, mom yes I know, I don’t really like being touched. Currently we are in the situation that you can’t put him down. 

I set a timer and sat next to him for almost 35 minutes 😭. It was not constant, it was like a waxing and waning. I pick him up, he stops, five minutes, attempt to lay him down again, right back hollering😲.

 My current state is I’m laying in bed with Emerson being cuddled by the birthday girl, his mere-mere.


So I think we may need to create a sign up sheet for cuddles with Mac. I am sure it will fill quickly. Needless to say I have a sweet boy who refuses to sleep solo. 


Thank you Jesus for sweet boys. I did not know so much love could come from little packages. You knew what you were doing giving me my three little ones. I can only pray that the love I give to them is as unconditional as your love for me. In your precious name, amen

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

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

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 know that God ha
