Good and bad counts

Specific prayer request of the day:  Pray for Julia's infection to be identified quickly and for the treatment to be swift, effective and easy on her. Pray for her counts to recover exponentially so that she can spend some time at home with her brother and sisters before her next round. Pray that at her next scan that this ugly cancer will be gone and we can have our angel back!!!
Please pray for my three big kids as the go back to school tomorrow. Give them peace and comfort
*also pray for our roommate the type of cancer she has has never been seen before anywhere in the USA. Its a mutant type cancer that's completely unknown and she is 4.


From Grandpa Dave:
-Talked with Rachel a few mins. ago Juls was resting Doctors say this is best thing for her right now. Hopefully they will find out soon what bug she has so they can give right med. to heal it. She did wake up for a little while and was sitting up she gave Rachel her big smile, she has that smile that can brighten anyone's day. Rest little one so your body can heal and I pray that Rachel and Richie can also get some rest, I know there is no comfortable place to rest in those rooms. Give her a big hug and a kiss from Paw Paw Dave and out stretch arms around the rest of you too. The kids are sleeping and doing fine!!!!!

From Momma:
- Tonight I ask that you continue to pray for Julia. Pray that her infection and fever go away. Pray that her ANC counts go up to 1500. Pray her mouth sores are healed. Pray that she can have a few good days at home with her family before her next round of chemo. Pray that at her next scan that this ugly cancer will be gone and we can have our angel back!!!
I'm exhausted but my faith is not!

-Juls is watching a movie and I was running my hands through her hair when I noticed I had a hand full of her hair in my hand. She didn't even notice....most of you know her curly locks just came in this past year. It just broke my heart to see it in my hands. I knew it was going to happen...but I'm still not prepared

- I just love this picture it was taken on the 13th of august
Look at her beautiful curls

-Pain meds kicked in!!!! She is on 2 hefty pain meds 2 different mega antibiotics and regular fluids. Her blood work came back positive for a fast growing bacteria not sure what kind yet. This is the first time shes been awake all day and first smile

- So Julia's ANC which is what fights infection is 0. She cannot leave until its up to a healthy level which may mean another transfusion. She has an infection somewhere and is running fever. She cant leave until all those things are taken care of so looking at a week maybe longer! She cant eat cause her mouth hurts so bad. They are giving away her a drip of pain meds. Please pray for her. And the rest of my kids....I miss them like crazy

-Poor baby her fever is 102.0 not good


Amazing fundraising update from Josh
THANK YOU SO MUCH Josh Wagner and all his derby buddies, Macon County Demo Derby, and Macon County Fire! Here's a couple amazing notes and a prayer from him:

~ As I truck out to Kansas tonight I pray in the name of Jesus that lord you lay your healing hands upon miss Juls and take the infection out of her body so when she wakes up in the morning she wants to go to the garden and do crafts and her blood count hits 1500. So she can come back home . I have faith in your healing powers. Amen~

-We were able to sell 22 stickers which was $355 dollars . And the benefit raffle plus the fire boot brought $3,012.00 with that totaling $3,367.00 . Plus we are suppose to receive a check from a local Macon, Missouri business with a undisclosed amount. I will be presenting this to the Stone family this week . It was a amazing weekend . All for you JULS 

-I just wanted to say this weekend was awesome !!!! Very emotional but awesome . Team Juls .... I thought derby season was gonna be over in two weeks but looks like I'm gonna build a car just for Juls for 2013 Blizzard Bash in Topeka Kansas November 15-17 (we added this to the events!)

We currently have 35 states, 1 U.S. Territory and 6 countries praying for Julia. This is completely amazing and we appreciate every bit of it more than we could ever say, but we'll say it again, THANK YOU!
From Saturday before the fever, Juls with that trademark grin, healthier times are ahead!
