Day 7...God is in control

-

 


Of 28...

Good morning everyone. I want to first give praise and honor to my Lord and savior. At the beginning of this week I knew not what to expect from our visits to the clinic, deciding to start new medicine and awaiting labs. God has been faithful. 



✅we have had to use minimum of pain medicine (narcotics)

✅we get to prepare, and then actually give this chemo at home. 

✅this evening will be day 7 of chemo, and overall Emerson has been tolerating

   *this word tolerate (verb), defined as: be capable of continued subjection to (a drug, toxin, or environmental condition) without adverse reaction; allow the existence, occurrence, or practice of (something that one does not necessarily like or agree with) without interference.

     -not sure how accurate that is. He has 🤮 during his dosing of chemo this evening. That was followed by episodes of explosive 💩.  Despite all of this. I believe we can all agree that Emerson is a fighter and my hero.

✅a lot of resting is going on. Though myself can’t seem to rest

✅I’m sure there is a leak in Mac’s g-tube, as his dressing and onsie is often soaked through. I’m not so afraid of the g-tube though, just need to make sure he gets all needed medicine. 

All reasons to shout praise to God!


Though I desire to share with you all that our Tio Tino, sadly passed.


He was surrounded by his sisters, one of whom is Ayeya, brothers, children, and nieces/nephews. This is what I had prayed for. Thought there is great sadness when there is a loss of someone you love, there is also a sense of peace as he suffers no longer. I know my own kids will miss him. He was very sweet and kind to them, they will forever remember ‘ha ha ha digo yo’!




Father God, as we continue to journey in this time of hospice, may we find comfort in you. This world is not our permanent home, and until we see you I can only hope we seek you. Lord thank you for the life of Tio Tino and the joy he brought. Thank you for the family that loved him and surrounded him during his last moments. May we gather more around loved ones, no matter the circumstance. May you continue to watch over Emerson giving his medical team along with us knowledge we need to provide the best in his quality of care. We love you, and pray this in your son 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...
