Hi Everyone,
Hope you all had a great weekend. Today we went shopping for Litttle Charlies birthday and got some cool gifts. It's hard to believe our baby boy is going to be one! We will probably celebrate his birthday on Saturday with just family. It should be fun. Charlie is hanging in there. He still gets headaches everyday and still has some neck pain. I know I have said this before, but it amazes me how strong Charlie is. He is such a strong person that he is the one encouraging me everyday. I admire him and love him so much for the person he is and for his courage. Right now we all feel kinda scared. We are hoping and praying that Charlie gets a match soon. We want him to get better ASAP! Please keep him in your prayers and please pray for encouragement at this time. This is a short post tonight but I will post more tomorrow. You all have a great Monday! Good night

Day 51
Hi Everyone,
It's the weekend. Yay! Today me and my mom cleaned the apartment and said good bye to our first place. I'm happy that it's over with and don't have to worry about it anymore. Charlie had an ok day today. He had a headache and an upset stomach earlier, but is feeling better. Tonight Charlie and I had a nice date night. My mom watched little Charlie and we went to Outback. We love that place. I love getting out with Char and it gives us a moment to forget about his sickness. Not much going on today. We are just hanging out and spending time with little Charlie. Little Charlie's birthday is right around the corner. It's hard to believe that he will be 1. Charlie will most likely be in the hospital on the day of his birthday, so we are going to celebrate it early. Please keep Charlie in your prayers and please pray for healing. God has a perfect plan and a big picture for him. It's hard to understand why, but this is where faith comes in. We really appreciate the support and prayers during this time. I will write more tomorrow. Hope you all have a great Sunday! Good night

Day 50
Hi Everyone,
Every day that I write the blog, I write what day it is. It's day 50 today and I can't believe it. Charlie has been undergoing treatment since June 10th. Even though it's been almost two months, it's hard to believe that Charlie is battling Leukemis. Charlie is fighting as hard as he can and will conquer in the end. Right now we are praying for a match for Charlie. It is very important that he gets a transplant due to his Philadelphia chromosome abnormality. Please pray for this. We will know more in the next couple of weeks if there is a match in the registry. Charlie is feeling ok today. He got out of the house for a little bit and enjoyed the fresh air. His neck has been bothering him all day. The neck pain is probably from lack of movement in the hospital. Today there was a cool article in Charlie's home town paper. His friend Cassie submitted an article and was published in the Lompoc Record. If you would like to check it out, I will post the link below. Cassie and Charlie's good friend Jenn are in the works of a fundraiser in California. They are so awesome for putting a fundraiser together. We are so blessed by everyones generosity. This week we will enjoy the company of Charlie and I will keep the updates coming. I hope you all enjoy your weekend.

Day 49
Hi Everyone,
As you all know, Charlie is home from the hospital. We are so happy that he is home now. Everyone seems to be a little down today. We are still bummed about the boys not being a match. We we so hopeful that our minds got us thinking that he would be at the City of Hope this month. It's so easy to feel discouraged, but we are going to get through it. The next step on our list is to find Charlie a match. They are in the process now looking on the registry to see if he has a match. We would be so greatful and happy if there was. We won't know for another two weeks. Charlies appointment got moved up to August 5th. We are hoping that Charlie will be home for Little Charlie's first birthday on August 19th. Right now we need prayer more than ever. Please pray for a match for Chalie, and please pray for us to be encouraged and hopeful. I know there are so many of you that would like to be tested. I'm not sure where you go to be tested, but I will find out more info. We will probably have a bone marrow drive to help Charlie find a match. Thank you for all of your continued prayers and love. Please keep it coming! We truly love you all!

Day 48
Hi Everyone,
Today wasn't the greatest day but it was at the same time. The good news first. Char got to come home today!! We are so happy to have him home. The bad news... The boys were not a bone marrow match. I thought I was prepared for the results to be a yes or no, but I wasn't. When Charlie told me I just broke down in tears. I feel so sad that they wernt a match but know that we will find Charlie a match very soon. They took more blood from Charlie to see if anyone in the bone marrow registry is a match. This could take a few weeks. Please be praying for that! I know most of the time I say that Charlie is doing good. Don't get me wrong. He is doing great, but he is definitely feeling a little down. He is hanging in there. Charlie will have to go back August 11th for a check up which will determine when he goes back for another round of chemo. We are all feeling a little down and sad that Charlie will not be getting a transplant as soon as we thought. It's so easy to get down and feel discouraged with all of this going on, but we gotta push through it. We all seem to be on edge, but this is when we have to take a step back and realize that we need to take things day by day. Please pray for Charlie and for all of us to relax a little. God has a big plan and a big picture. I am praying that in His time we will know. I pray for patience and encouragement right now. We love all of you and thank you for your prayers and daily encouragement. Until tomorrow, good night

Day 47
Hi Everyone,
It's been a good day today. Charlie is most likely coming home tomorrow. Yay!! We are so excited. We are still waiting for the lab results as they have not come in yet, it has been two weeks. Please pray that one or them are a match. If they are not a match Charlie will have to return to the hospital for another round of chemo. Charlie is so happy to be coming home and has a positive attitude. I told him all about last night and how it was a big success. He gets so emotional hearing about how many people want to help and everyone that supports him. He is so lucky to have such great friends and family. We couldn't do this without you guys. Charlies counts are going up and is no longer neutropenic. Praise God! Please continue to pray for Charlie and for Gods healing hands to be placed upon him. I can't say thank you enough to all of you who support us! We love you all.

Day 46
Hi Everyone,
Today was an awesome day! Tonight was the spaghetti dinner at Macaroni Grill. There was an awesome turn out. The dinner was delicious and the company was great. We are so thankful for the Mac Grill Ohana to do this for us. We raised a lot of money that will help tremendously with medical expenses. Charlie is doing good today. I was able to get a spaghetti dinner to go and brought it to him at the hospital. He really enjoyed it. Charlie's counts are going up and could be home very soon. We are still waiting on the bone marrow results. We are so anxious to know. Charlie will be getting platelets tomorrow and possibly home on Wednesday. We thank you all so much for the suppport and for everyone who came tonight. We love you all!!!!
