Sharing the news (from FB 4/18)

This is not the update I wanted to give. Adeline is inpatient at McLane Children’s Hospital with a preliminary diagnosis of leukemia. We will spend the next few days with more sophisticated testing to “give her cancer a name” so we can most appropriately treat it. She is scared. We are scared. Today we grieve, tomorrow we fight. 

And this is me being completely transparent: over the last 2 1/2 years, Todd and I have individually (though concurrently) had a deconstruction of faith. We recognize and embrace that we are surrounded by faith-filled family and friends. We are grateful and encouraged to know that our friends will be praying for Adeline and our family. But, though it may come from the most sincerest intention and faith-filled sentiment, please know that I’m not in a place to hear things like “God’s got this,” or “God knows how strong Adeline is” etc. Thank you for loving us and our sweet girl and for supporting us in this fight.
