November 2, 2007

I AM IN REMISSION!!! The 3rd round did it's job well!!! Dr. Barnette called about 5:00 and told us the good news. Mom ran out of her room yelling and gave me a great big bear hug. I then started screaming along with her and when we both calmed down I asked her "Mom what is remission"? We are totally having a party tonight!!! The plan now is for some blood work this coming week and then go back to the hospital to prepare for the bone marrow transplant a week from Monday. Thank you for all the prayers and for the fast. Love, Trent.

Trent and Family-
That is the best news we have heard all year!-(Well a tie with the arrival of Emmi!) We are so happy for you all. Your family is so special to us and we are so excited that the Lord has blessed you. His love is so evident in our lives. We will have to party tonight to celebrate too! We always love a party, and wish we were closer-we would bring the balloons and cake! Tell everyone Hi and give another round of hugs from us. Gordon says to tell his buddy Nato "Hi". And Kayla wants to write to Trent so that should follow. I like the pictures of you all playing your wii- What are your favorite games? What did you do for Halloween. Well this is truly going to be a fabulous Thanksgiving. Heavenly Father has blessed us all very much. Have a great weekend!
Love ya-
Crystal, Jer, Kayla, Gordon, Ty, & Emmi

Hey guys! We just checked your blog and it made us cry...WE ARE SO HAPPY FOR YOU!!!!!! What a blessing! Have you ever heard the saying "Prayer changes things"? I have seen it in peoples homes and it is true. I know miracles happen thru prayer but also it changes our hearts and makes us closer to our Father in Heaven. Our family prays for you every day and I am grateful we can do that. We love you guys!
Love,
The Olson's (Casey and Joy and kids)

Erickson Family,

Thanks for your support it helps a lot. We are totally parting tonight. We are truly blessed! Mom got icecream, and donuts, it will be so yummy. I like boxing and the tank game the best on the wii-, we played bowling as a family and Nate almost won all of us. Did you have a great Halloween? I stayed home with dad while mom, Brad, and friends went trick or treating for me. It will be an awesome Thanksgiving. We are actually going to celebrate it early next Sunday. And we are going to put up our Christmas Trees this week. Dad just rolls his eyes at Mom but she says we are doing it anyway!! Well tell Gordon Nate says "HI" and that he misses him. Kayla I would love to have you write to me I will write you back. Well hope you are doing good.

Love Trent

Makayla,

I am having a wonderful time at home. We got out the Air Soft guns and are playing them everynight!! My Uncle and Aunt have played a few times and are now going to shop and look for air soft guns for Christmas. It is so fun, but you get welts on your body from the little pellets hitting you. How are you doing and what are you sick with? Peanut is doing fine, she is calming down a lot. How is your dog? What is her name again? Well talk to you later.

Love Trent

My mom is going to have a baby girl. She will be my only sister.

Hey Trent & family~ YAHOO!!!! We are so excited to hear your news!! We've been a bit behind with all the craziness life has to offer - so we apologize for not checking sooner! But none the less - we have been praying and praying and praying for you! Heavenly Father has heard every prayer offered in your behalf and He knows your faith too! Thank you for letting us be blessed through you! We will continue to pray for you and keep you in our thoughts! Risi & I came to visit you on her last visit to PCMC -and were sad but yet glad to find that you were sent home!! Looks like you are having a great time! Enjoying family things! And good for your mom! She is always right on top of things - but that will be so fun to get in the festive mood and be able to enjoy it! I'm really jealous! I'm not so prepared. Well, have fun get rested too! We're here for you! Tell your mom to give me a holler when she can! We love ya all! Shontell & family

Congrats on your baby sister. When is your mom having her? I was Harry Potter for Halloween. I bet you had fun being a witch. Did you get a lot of candy? Well thanks for praying for me. How is school going? Talk to you later.
