Going Strong

I am sure that many of you are following Colten's journey on his Caring Bridge Journal, but I felt like we needed something new here.

Colten continues to make progress on his journey to Kick Leukemia's Butt. He has had a couple of viruses that have come up since the Bone Marrow Transplant, but the doctors assure the family that it is all normal. He is still on steroids so he remains a little puffy, but all seems to be going well.

In the last couple of weeks, I have found myself trying to remember everything that is good about our lives. It is the season for believing, having faith and being thankful. I hope that everyone continues believe that Colten will win his battle and that his family will soon be all together again soon.

Continue to send prayers to the Cowell family, they feel them every day. We are all believing that they are helping Colten get better and helping his family remain strong as they face daily battles that those of us out here can only come close to trying to understand.

With lots of love and faith heading down to the Southern part of the state.
