Dear friends and family,

Beau was discharged yesterday following a successful endoscopy!

During the procedure, doctors were able to open his throat, addressing an esophageal web that had been preventing him from comfortably swallowing. He is already feeling so much better, though his throat is still quite sore and painful. We’re grateful to share that he’s able to eat solid foods again—praise the Lord!

Please continue to pray that he recovers quickly from Flu B, regains his strength day by day, and remains healthy throughout the winter season.

“Thank you” hardly feels sufficient to express the depth of our gratitude for each of you who has walked beside us through our cancer journey.

Your dear faithful prayers, your steadfast love through the heartache, and your unwavering support have carried us in ways we can not fully articulate. We truly could not have navigated these dark waters without you.

We love and appreciate you all so very much!

Dear friends and family,

We received Beau's clonoSEQ MRD test (which measures any residual cancer cells) results back after 2-years and there are still ZERO cancer cells detected!

We thank the Lord for you - our dear friends and family - who continue to love us, support us and cover us with constant prayer. We are forever grateful for you!

Most of all, we thank God for His strong and wonderful presence in our lives. We truly couldn't live (and wouldn't want to) live without Him. He really is Immanuel - God with us.

So, celebrate with us for who God is and what He has done for all of us and let's anticipate with joy more life to come from our benevolent Father as we approach 2026.

Cheers and blessings to you!

Merry Christmas! We love you!

Great news: Beau is officially medication-free! No more immunosuppressants. No more pills.

Two more months until his TWO YEAR anniversary (November 21st) being cancer free! This is a huge milestone as the majority of relapse cases happen within the first two years. Keep praying for complete, total healing from cancer.

Additionally, God, by his Holy Spirit, is continuing to heal us emotionally and spiritually, assuring us of his saving love and divine purpose in our suffering.

WE JOYFULLY PRAISE GOD for His healing, kindness, and provision in our lives.

THANK YOU for your dear prayers and enduring support and love towards us! We cannot thank you all enough. You asked, God answered (Luke 9:11-13). We are forever grateful!

On March 17, 2023, our world was rocked by the shocking diagnosis that Beau had leukemia. Our lives were radically changed. We had no idea what that meant for the future of our precious family.

Today (March 17, 2025), marks two years since that happened. We have fought, prayed, and endured through so much, and we want to take this opportunity to thank and praise God that Beau is cancer-free!

How we’re doing:
Beau is still working with the doctors to get rid of the oral GVHD (graft versus host disease). His case is advanced. Last Friday, he received a second round of steroid shots in his mouth. To the doctor’s surprise, the first round didn’t result in any noticeable improvement (highly unusual); so, he doubled the concentration this time. We were encouraged to hear that oral GVHD is temporary (not lifelong); however, we need the shots to work. So, we’re hoping and praying the increased dosage, combined with the pills he’s taking, will finally eliminate this tormenting disease.
We’re also still working through the mental and emotional trauma that comes from a battle with life-threatening and chronic illness. While the improvement in Beau’s physical health helps with emotional and mental healing, it also takes time, prayer, working through the grief process, and lots of love from family and friends like you!

Thank you for your continued prayer, love, and support toward us. You have persevered with us through these past two years and for that we are forever grateful.

Update from Anna:

Dearest family and friends,

Beau has been experiencing chronic oral GVHD for 4 months now. Every time he eats, his mouth instantly reacts with painful blisters throughout his mouth and throat. This has been especially difficult because not only has he lost more weight, but the pleasure of eating has been taken away, among other things. His doctor isn't sure how long this will last, so please be praying that we are able to find a solution that will eradicate the oral GVHD and not cause other detrimental side effects.

Whenever we attempt to answer the question, "How are you,” we struggle to find the words. We want to be honest, but we also can’t express it fully. While we have plenty to be thankful for, Beau and I are also processing through a variety of difficult emotions as we suffer on a daily basis: anger, depression, anxiety, fear, and disappointment to name a few. Cancer and chronic illness has traumatized us and tested our faith overwhelmingly, and we don’t see an end in sight. It doesn’t help that we are unable to attend church right now because the cold/flu season poses too much of a risk to Beau while his immune system is under suppression.

Please keep us in your prayers. We deeply appreciate all the love and support you have given us over these past couple of years. Your fellowship is a source of strength for us. And God is faithful. We know that and hold to that, even though we may not always feel it. Let’s keep pressing on together!

Dear friends and family!

The results to Beau's biopsy have been updated: STILL NO CANCER!!! Praising the Lord for the gracious report! What a gift!

On the other hand, please pray for Beau as he continues to get over a bad cold. We are not sure of it is COVID or not but it has been brutal on his body as it has caused some GVHD to flare up.

Please pray that Beau can get through this quickly, without any more issues.

We cannot thank you enough for your dear sweet prayers! Thank you Lord!

Dear friends and family,

Beau's bone marrow biopsy went as smoothly as possible and his blood panel projected healthy numbers. Praise the Lord!

The results take about 2 weeks to process and that will tell us if there is any cancer detected or not. We petition God for the results to say ZERO!

Please pray that the Lord will not only grant us His peace but "guard our hearts and minds in Christ Jesus," (Phil 4:7) while we wait.

The Lord continues to graciously carry us as He so faithfully does for us all. We cannot thank you enough for praying on our behalf. We love you all!

Dear friends and family,

Thursday, November 21, marked exactly one year since Beau's bone marrow transplant.

As incredibly difficult as these past couple of years have been mentally, physically and emotionally, we are so grateful that we have closely witnessed the Lord's loving kindness towards us through this journey.

One of the primary ways he has done this is through all of you. We cannot thank you enough for all your kind support and dear prayers as we anticipate Beau's bone marrow biopsy, Monday, November 25th at 3p.

Dear friends and family,

In just a few weeks, it will mark one year since Beau's bone marrow transplant last November 21st. This is a big milestone for us as the doctors have said that in the cases where the leukemia returned, the majority of them happened within the first year.

As we anticipate Beau's bone marrow biopsy on the 25th of this November at 3pm, we, and specifically Beau, are met with mixed emotions because the procedure itself is very painful, unpleasant and it brings up a lot of fear and trauma of having cancer. It takes at least 2 weeks to get the results back from a biopsy test, so waiting in that time to hear if it's relapsed or not is excruciatingly stressful. We are hoping, praying and pleading with the Lord to get the news that Beau is still free of cancer.

Even though we have made it a long way with Beau's recovery, and have been able to get back a lot of the normalcy we enjoyed before cancer, there is still a lot of trauma and grief to work through. Not to mention, he's dealing with the effects of the transplant, the side effects of the meds he's taking, and GVHD.

It's not easy but one thing is for sure: The Lord has been so good to us.

In the meantime, Beau continues to slowly and systematically wean off of his immunosuppresants (at this point, he wishes he could toss his entire pharmacy of pills in the trash).

Please pray for Beau, that the Lord would continue to heal his body, for his biopsy to show no cancer, and for our hearts as we continue to grieve the last 2 years.

We really appreciate all your support and prayers. We love you all!
