How about an update on our niece, Sydney? I know some of you have been following and praying and I haven't done a very good job of updating.
She's home!!! The last I told you the transplant was done, and she moved out of ICU back to her normal room. They waited and waited for the cells to reproduce and they did!!!
And after 40 days in the hospital she made it home! She'll be in isolation at home for 100 days, since her body has no ability to fight off infections until her immune system strengthens. Please keep praying for her complete recovery.
And now check this out...
This is a billboard along on the side of the most traveled highway in Michigan!
I cannot even fathom being 9 years old, fighting cancer for the 2nd time and then seeing your face on a huge billboard. We hear she was super excited! And we're so thankful the story God has written for her is inspiring others and making a difference.
You can still follow along as her parents update her Caringbridge page .

And how about a huge PRAISE!! After all of the bone marrow drives that went on to help find Sydney a donor match back in October and November, we got word that one of the college students from Tabor (where are sweet friends held a drive in honor of Sydney) was called to be a match for someone!!! Such awesome news! I trust completely that God is using Sydney's life and story to do a good work and fulfill his purposes.

It's been wonderful following along! Awesome billboard! I wish I could do the walk but I'm out of town that weekend but my prayers will certainly continue for your sweet family. xoxo
