Maggie is no doubt an Angel for Tommy!AMEN! G R E A T news -- Dr. Conrad (Tommy's Dr who will perform his surgery at Children's) said "piece of cake!" when he looked at Tommy's foot. We were so relieved and a little doubting still after being told his foot might need to be amputated from some of those at Madigan. Based on Tommy's chemo treatment and the Dr's schedule, it looks like his surgery will be in the 3rd week of July. We don't care when it is, just glad to hear this Dr is comfortable to perform without seeing any major issues for Tommy.
Tommy will have lots of visitors and helpers in July. Daryl's sister will be here the week of the 4th, my sister will be here for the surgery, and Daryl's parents will be here for Tommy's birthday. Whew, glad that we have all this help!!
Thanks to all our devoted prayer warriors -- keep them coming please! We know we have thousands praying for Tommy and if we could find the words that would show our appreciation and affection to each and everyone of you we would. We know it's our faith, devotion and all your prayers with ours, that has given us such great news. The chemo treatments are so harsh and the side effects are so intense, it will be the same love and support you give him that helps him and us find the strength and courage to make it through them all.
Maggie is Tommy's BIGGEST fan! The love they have now is one that as parents we hope will continue to grow and stay strong as they grow older. As parents, we know it's our role to encourage that bond, and it's an awesome thing to see the two of them together. Maggie loves to mimic Tommy with what he says and does. The two have sword fights almost daily and then there's the time where they sit on the "boat" (our bed) or the "bunk" (Tommy's bed) and snuggle next to each other while watching TV together. He's all boy and she's all girl, when they are together, they pull the opposite out of each other -- that's a good thing! <><

Just wanted you all to know that St. Thomas More, in Glendale, AZ is praying for Tommy, too!
Thanks for all of the updates!
We were so happy to read about the surgeon that had positive thoughts!
Prayer is a powerful thing!
God Bless you, all!

Kim,
When you called us yesterday to tell us the fantastic news about Tommy, it was better than winning the lotto!
Indeed prayer is very powerful and the answer to all of our problems.
Our little Tommy is one in a million, and we are grateful that God has given him to our family. I know there is a very strong bond between Maggie and Tommy and I am sure it will always remain there.
Kiss them both for us.
Love,
Gee and Papa

Hi Daryl and Kim,
It was good to see Tommy up and about outside last Memorial Day weekend. He looked strong and vibrant. We've kept him in our prayers every day. Let us know if we can take your family out for for a dinner.
It has been placed on my heart to recommend to you that your Pastor or someone lay hands on Tommy and give him a blessing of the Lord before his next treatment. It will help.
Our thoughts are with your family.
