Mr Trouble

Everyday is truly an adventure with Emerson. I mean from when I learned we were expecting him (during surgery for my broken fingers). How about when Manny told me he was having a little brother, when we shared that he would be a big brother again. Oh yes, how the ladies in the clinic would fight over doing an ultrasound to find out what we were having. 

I can honestly say that Emerson doesn’t always follows the plans for the day during his treatment. There is always something interesting that happens. 

Well yesterday was quite a day. The temporary line that he has in his chest just decided to stop working. Of course it stopped, literally right before Emerson was supposed to start his chemo for the day. You see at this point Mac has had two repairs to this line. Both Dr. V and I were really pushing for a new line, in the previous week. Well actually I was pushing for it during our admission after the relapse. At that time though Emerson was having frequent low grade fevers. 

Well today was quite eventful. Well not too much. Emerson slept very well last night, taking up much of the bed. I was unable to feed Mac past 10. Well I am so grateful for Ayeya as she came to the rescue. If I can’t feed this kid, there is no way I wanted to hang around.

So I headed out to spend some time with Manny and Mia. Emerson didn’t get down into the procedures until 3, and finished up about 6. God has been so good, with no complications occurring. Currently just a really sleepy baby. 


Father God we are so grateful for this day you have given us. You had a hand in protecting Emerson with the procedures he had today. I ask for rest and restoration to his body, and that the new line functions well. Watch over him as I worry about fevers. May there be no cause for additional medications. 

We pray this in Jesus name, amen

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...
