Our Family Healing

 Adam's Recovery



Adam was in a serious car accident in Reno on March 8 sustaining a broken femur and a crushed hip.  He spent two weeks in the hospital and a week in the Physical Therapy Hospital. 



We brought him home with us to Entiat Washington where he continued his recovery.  He became bored enough to ask Mom to teach him how to quilt.  Here he is finishing up the binding on the quilt he made.

Bryan's Recovery

Bryan was diagnosed with ALL (Acute Lymphocytic Leukemia) in April and was immediately taken to Virginia Mason Hospital where he began a very aggressive regime of chemo therapy. As you can imagine this was a shock to his family but Allison has been by his side every step of the way. Margo was able to fill in when Allison needed to stay home with the boys and to work.

 

Bryan always wins at Spite and Malice!


 

He has to be very careful when his white blood cell counts are low from the chemo. The prognosis for recovery is very promising.  Apparently patients who complete the treatment regime for ALL (Acute Lymphocytic Lukemia) have a 90% chance of being cured!
