This without a doubt is one of the toughest journal entries I have ever had to write. I wish I had the words to make this easier. Our lives and world has been one of ups and downs over the last two years. The hope, love, and grace we have seen as we have walked this journey have literally carried us through all that we have faced. Hannah Grace is truly a miracle in everything that she is. God has been with us from the day we found out that she had a brain tumor and continues to be with us.
Hannah Grace's MRI did not come back with results that we had hoped for. The original tumor has begun to grow back as well as several other spots on the brain. Relapse or recurrence just don't seem to be words that fit with what seems to be going on. We are devastated, crushed, and broken. However, we serve a God that can still mold and make us into the vessels that He would have us to be.
Words don't come easy without tears. The ones that have been on this journey with us seem closer than family. We will need all of you over the next few days and weeks to come. We know that God is able and whatever lies ahead He will lead and guide our steps. Continue to believe with us.
In Him,
Jarrod, Marci, Hannah Grace, and Chandler
Psalm 147:3-5
3 He heals the brokenhearted
and binds up their wounds.
4 He determines the number of the stars
and calls them each by name.
5 Great is our Lord and mighty in power;
His understanding has no limit.

I just wanted to say that Hannah Grace's parents are so thankful for all the prayers that are going out on their behalf...I was just thinking yesterday that I reported here last July 4th that it was the first time we had Grayson, Elijah and Hannah Grace all together in the same room since the whole ordeal started! It seems like only yesterday, not a YEAR AGO yesterday!! Hannah Grace has been through so much..we wait and we pray for God's will to be done for her...
Yesterday a very different series of events took place that was SO much different than last year! Plans had been made for Grayson's family to meet with Hannah Grace's family to celebrate a little bit..well it turned out that she was very sick when she woke up and there was no celebration...in fact Elijah's dad picked up a prescription for Hannah Grace in Birmingham..which is a 4 hour drive from here (Dothan AL).. It was a prescription which could not be filled locally! Elijah's dad brought the medicine from Birmingham to Montgomery, and my son who is Grayson's daddy, met him there and brought the medicine back here to Hannah Grace's daddy! WOW!! That all happened as if that was just part of a day's work! God is so good!
So we didn't have fireworks or cookouts here, but one day we Will celebrate! Either in this age or definitely in the next!!
So let us keep praying..not only for those who are sick, but for each other! I used to laugh at my sister who recently died, she always used a little "tearful tyrade" when her girls would fight among themselves...she used to tell them "Girls! Be sweet to each other, love each other! Because..we're all we've got!" Well folks it's nice to know that in God, we're NOT all we have!!" We love each other, and yes sometimes we don't get along so great, but we ARE ALWAYS here for each other!!
I love you so!!
Kathy :-*
PS...I'm sorry I'm such a rambler! But at least I know you love me! ;)

Kathy, was really upset at the news of Hannah. Yet, I don't think I could bear to read about her anymore if she has to go through more of what she has already went through. Whatever God has in store (and i pray still for a cure) I will try to trust. For Hannah's family I pray peace. Judy

Last night we had a prayer vigil for Hannah Grace and her daddy said the most touching thing...
We need a miracle here, the doctors can't offer anything it's up to God..then he said, "If nothing else whatever God's will is for Hannah Grace we know for sure our little girl is loved, by all of you and people all over who don't even know her!"
After several days of just really being in and out, she was sitting up eating and playing a little with some toys! that was the sweetest thing in the world!
There were well over 100 people crowded into the living room in the kitchen, and even standing outside to join in the prayers for this little sweetie...a great thing was I got to see and hug Elijah! I hugged his mommy and as we cried together she said, "This is just too close to home!" God has been good! Elijah, Hannah Grace and Grayson all went through brain tumor surgery around the same time and only Grayson's was benign....but we all stood together there thanking God for the many blessings our families have received!!
I just have to keep thanking you guys for always praying with me!!
:-* :-* :-*

What a ray of sunshine through the stormy clouds! :D Still praying!

Tonight as I sit here in the hospital watching my husband come back from his bypass surgery, I am sick at heart to have to tell you that Hannah Grace is slowly losing her battle..she has put up a brave fight against this monster cancer and God has brought her back from the very edge of death so many times in the last 2 years, but even knowing that God is the only one who knows when we will die, we can't help but ask Him to give her more years with her family..It appears from the natural that she is at the end of her fight and her life..Please keep her family in your prayers..They are accepting God's will for their precious little girl, but I know their hearts are crushed and breaking..my own heart is breaking, but I have to fight back my tears, because I don't want to tell my husband what is happening..I'm trying to keep him as stress free as possible..but just please lift this family up in your prayers.
We don't know why, but we do know God is over all things.........

Words elude me Kathy. God bless you and your family.

It was more than sad reading about Hanna's new state. Her father's letter was a testimony of their faith and such a sorrowful letter it was. May God Himself console them.
-
Kathy,
Yes, we DO love you. Praying, praying, praying for little Hannah Grace and her family.

I am always overwhelmed at what God can do and what strength children have! Days ago Hannah Grace was given 24-48 hrs to live..and here she is nearly a week later and she is still holding her own...I haven't seen her, but she's still hanging in there...God is the only one who knows!! Keep praying for her family..they just take each day as it comes and are thankful for every moment with their little girl!! She has some good days and bad days, but she is still fighting!!
Thank you guys for always praying!!
Kathy ;) :-*

My heart is breaking. I am so sorry Kathy. :'( :'( :'(

kathy,
i just now saw this most sad news about hannah grace. i cannot imagine the horrible sadness her family is feeling. i wish i could give them each a hug. and, i wish i could have given that brave little girl a big hug. i feel like i have lost a family member. her life brought us together in spirit through prayer, and her death brings us together in the knowledge of the true gospel of Jesus Christ, and, that one day all things will be made right. i ask God the Father to hold up hannah grace's mother and father, and all of her family. may the comfort that ONLY He can bring, come to this family. this young child's short life was purposed and planned by Father God so long, long ago. and, He's not through with her yet.

Claudia, you are SO right!
The community around her has been amazing! Her parents have shared all the good and the bad with us through the entire journey...
Here is part of what her daddy posted this morning...
"We have an inscription on our wall in our living room that says this...
"We do not remember days. We remember moments."
Just as James 4 tells us. Life is but a vapor, we are here for a little while and then gone. Marci and I have been taking time this week to go through and gather together pieces of those moments to try to honor the life that Hannah Grace lived. Not only do we want to honor the life Hannah Grace lived, but give glory to the God who gave her to us.
Emotions come and go accompanied by tears that can sometimes appear at the smallest thing. We take one day at the time and are so glad of the memories that we do have of Hannah Grace's life."
Here is a video her daddy put on You Tube..this family is so extraordinary! You would have loved them as I do if you had ever met and spent time with them....Please continue praying for them..Her funeral will be on Thursday afternoon....

To All,
No words, just tears in my eyes and prayers for all. What an inspiration and what hope we have in the life of this precious child. My Hannah and Grace Anne have just left our home after a Sunday visit and how thankful we are for their blessings in our lives. Her Dad's testimony is very special and his hope is a beacon for all of us.
In HIM,

I wanted to tell you a little story why Elijah and Hannah Grace have been so special to us..Aside from the fact that they were in the hospital at the same time Grayson was in there..but here is the other reason..This may not seem like so much to you, but for some reason we feel God had His hand in this..When my daughter in law was pregnant with Grayson, they had picked out a name for him had he been a girl..this name was Sarah Grace.. They named him Grayson so his name would have grace in it..they knew that since the pregnancy had been unplanned and a total surprise that God had "graced" them with this child..
The second special part of the story is that they chose his full name to be Grayson Elijah Anderson! Therefore we all felt that God had somehow made us all know that Hannah Grace was to be a special child from the day we learned about her met her and we knew instantly that Elijah would be the same to us! We met Elijah in the PICU that very critical first night of Grayson's brain surgery..as we sat near Gray's little crib with all the monitors on him..Elijah's parents came up to us and said they were praying for Grayson and then I went over to where they sat with Elijah, not knowing at that time he had brain cancer..I can't tell you how I loved Elijah and his parents from the first moment I saw them!! This is a journey we have all taken together...we pray together, we hope together, we mourn together and we leap for joy at the smallest milestone along the way! This is why I have always had a special connection to Hannah Grace and Elijah..just wanted you to know!
Kathy :-* :)
