Rhet Crushing Cancer

07/31/2026

7/31/26
Today was another answered prayer. 💛

We had Rhet’s follow-up appointment today, and we got to see one of our absolute favorite doctors, Dr. B. He had the best news we could have hoped for!

Rhet’s blood work was AMAZING. Dr. B told us that it’s actually very rare for blood work to bounce back this quickly and be completely normal after everything he’s been through. He said it usually takes at least three months, so seeing these results already is such an incredible blessing. We will be back in 3 weeks for another check up.

We do have a couple of symptoms to keep an eye on over the next little while, but overall, Rhet had an absolutely amazing checkup!

God continues to remind us that He is faithful through every step of this journey. Thank you to everyone who has prayed, encouraged us, and walked beside our family. We truly believe those prayers have carried us through.

Our hearts are so full of gratitude today. 💛

🔔⛰️ Rhet Rang The 🔔

His words! Mom I didn’t know what to do, I feel good!

I don’t know that words will ever truly describe what yesterday felt like. Between shouting to the top of my lungs, of shaking in fear!
As I stood there watching my boy walk toward that bell, my mind didn’t just see that moment… it replayed every moment that led us there.
I saw the day our world stopped on June 7, 2024, when we heard the words no parent ever wants to hear: “Your son has leukemia.”
I remembered the fear that took my breath away. That phone call at 8:18pm, The hospital rooms that became our second home. The endless spinal taps, chemotherapy, blood draws, medications, surgeries, sleepless nights, tears, prayers, and all the unknowns that came with every new day.
I remembered holding my baby while he hurt, wishing I could trade places with him. Watching him lose pieces of his childhood while somehow never losing his smile. This momma has seen more things, and has night mares , that I do not wish on any mother to go through. And will keep them to myself and never speak of them. We only speak about the positive!
Then… yesterday happened.
Rhet grabbed that bell and rang it with a strength that only God could have given him.
In that moment, I wasn’t just hearing a bell ring.
I heard hope. I heard victory.�I heard thousands of prayers being answered.�I heard God reminding us that He never left our side.
To everyone who came yesterday… thank you.
To those who took off work, drove hours, stood in the heat, hugged us, cried with us, and celebrated beside us—you will never know what your presence meant to our family. Looking around and seeing so many people there for Rhet filled my heart in a way I can’t explain. We will never forget it.
This bell doesn’t mean cancer never happened.
It doesn’t mean the fear is gone.
It doesn’t mean our journey is over.
Rhet will continue traveling to Atlanta every 3–4 weeks for blood work, appointments, and monitoring. We know survivorship comes with its own challenges, but we also know the same God who carried us through treatment will carry us through whatever comes next.
Yesterday wasn’t the end of our story.
It was the closing of one chapter and THE beginning of another chapter, that has a different for real FEAR. That will be in our life’s for the rest of Rhet’s life.
If you’ve prayed for Rhet, loved him, supported him, encouraged our family, or simply whispered his name to God when you thought of him… thank you.
You have helped us climb these mountains!
Our family will spend the rest of our lives remembering the sound of that bell and the overwhelming reminder that even when the mountain seemed impossible to climb…
God moved it.

“For truly I tell you, if you have faith as small as a mustard seed… nothing will be impossible for you.” — Matthew 17:20
From the bottom of our hearts…
Thank you for loving our sweet boy.

Last night was another mountain moved!!

06/30/2026

Tomorrow is a day we’ve prayed for, cried over, dreamed about, and sometimes wondered if we’d ever reach.

Tomorrow, Rhet rings the bell. 🔔💛

This bell represents so much more than the end of treatment. It represents countless hospital stays, chemotherapy, spinal taps, surgeries, blood transfusions, sleepless nights, tears, prayers, fear, hope, and the unwavering love of so many people who have walked this road with us.

God has truly moved a mountain.

Our faith has often been no bigger than a mustard seed, but God has shown us that a mustard seed is all He needs to move mountains. Tomorrow, we get to celebrate one of the biggest mountains our family has ever faced.

But if I’m being completely honest…

As excited as we are, this is also the beginning of a new kind of fear.

For over two years, treatment became our safety net. The hospital became familiar. Blood work, appointments, chemo, and routines became our normal. Now we step into the unknown, trusting God in a different way.

The fear of “what if” tries to creep in.
The fear of relapse is real.
The fear of not having treatment as our safety blanket is something only families who have walked this journey truly understand.

So while tomorrow is filled with celebration, it is also filled with faith.

We know the journey isn’t over. Rhet will continue traveling to Atlanta every month for blood work, checkups, and monitoring. We’ll keep praying. We’ll keep believing. We’ll keep trusting the One who has carried us this far.

Thank you to every single person who has prayed, sent cards, donated, encouraged us, loved on our family, and stood beside us. We truly would not have made it without our village.

Tomorrow, we’ll celebrate loudly.
We’ll cry happy tears.
We’ll thank God for every miracle along the way.

And we’ll continue walking forward, one step at a time, believing that the same God who moved this mountain will continue to walk with us through whatever comes next.

“If you have faith as small as a mustard seed… nothing will be impossible for you.” — Matthew 17:20
