Ian’s Cancer Story & Updates

On July 29th, we were called in to the pediatrician’s office to talk about the results of the MRI our oldest son had the day before.

Life, as we knew it, changed on that day…

But one thing didn’t change. The Lord, and His perfect love, is a constant, sometimes the only constant- as the old hymn says, “Yesterday, today, forever, Jesus is the same!”

We’re trusting and leaning on Him, His grace, and His mercy as we walk this hard path with our son. We thank you all for your prayers, and thank Him for you, His people, and the way He has been using you to bless our family!

Pediatricians, MRIs, and Neurologists, Oh My!
The brief story of the day we learned that something was wrong.

Optimistic {About a Brain Tumor?!}
Hearing the words mass & tumor, meeting the neurosurgeon, being given such hope for a very different outcome…

No More Tumor
Surgery day, it was long, it was surreal, and did I mention it was long?

Hardest Birthday Ever
The day the word Medulloblastoma sucked the wind from our sails, my birthday…

As If Brain Cancer Wasn’t Bad Enough
Hearing the word Medulloblastoma is hard, SEEING Posterior Fossa Syndrome is harder, much, much harder…

How you can help-

Pray, pray, pray… and if you feel so inclined, please consider ‘attending’ the Pray for Ian Williams! facebook event. At last check, there were 34,056 people ‘attending’, representing so many of our states and several countries around the world!

After several people asked about helping us with expenses, we did set up a FundRazr app on facebook. Thank you so much to those who have blessed our family in this way, really, thank you so much!

Praying always! You should consider making (having someone make) a button. I’d gladly put it on my blog to remind people to pray. Would even make one for you but I do not know how! Keep your eyes on Jesus!

You are far from an “ordinary” mom. Your faith is amazing. Your strength, God given. You are a wonderful example to all moms out there. I am humbled reading the accounts of your son and his ongoing process of healing and recovery. Keep up your faithful walk with our Lord and Savior. May God bless and heal Ian quickly and amaze those around you.

I found your after your comment left at We are That family. I will be following you now.

I just noticed these updates don’t show up in the RSS feed. I will make it a point to check back more often.
You and your family continue to be in my prayers.

I check this site everyday. What a God filled family you are. I know you are so busy, but please give us some updates on Ian so that we can pray specifically for his needs. I follow and pray for Ian and a little girl named Kate every day. Stay strong, God is good.
