Y'all keep Little Bubba, Grant Terrell, as well as his parents Steven and Mori in your prayers. The chemo treatments have been a little tough on Grant as of late.

On behalf of both Steven and Mori I want to say thanks to everyone who keeps praying for little Bubba. Yes this last trip started kinda shaky but ended quite well. I believe he's coming home today and I know they had a Make A Wish Foundation party celebrating Grants trip to Disney World. Both he and sissy will get to meet most of if not all their favorite characters.
You guy's just don't know how much it means to see everyone caring for my son and his family. You are some wonderful people.

From FB for those of you that aren't on there: Man, Steven & Mori, it is tough reading updates like these, sensing the heartache you guys have and the tough decisions you have to make as parents, and knowing what our little warrior is going through. He has been so brave and so tough up to this point, and we sincerely hope and pray that, no matter what the obstacle, that God will give him the strength and perseverance to battle through this. Lord you are still the great Jehovah Rapha, Lord who heals, we ask that you heal little Grants body completely. You are still Jehovah Jirah, Lord who provides, and we ask that you provide peace and comfort for Steven and Mori as they remain faithful to you through this time of illness. We ask that you provide wisdom and knowledge to the Dr's and all who work with them as your healing hands perform great miracles on little Grant. We know you are the one true compassionate, faithful and merciful God and only through your grace are we saved. Please hear our prayers oh Lord, for it is only through your Son, our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ that we ask these things. Amen

Prayers sent as I do everyday. I bust my butt in the engineering department everyday to kill cancer. I build and develop radiation machines and new cancer fighting technology. Lord, please look down on these great folks and we pray Grant and family the best.

My heart goes out to this family for what they are enduring, and prayers are constantly lifted up, as there is not a day that goes by where I don't wear my "Pray for Grant" / "Isaiah 41:10" bracelet as a constant reminder. Here is the link and the update on Little Bubba.

The first few months of this new year have been great as Grant hasn't had a "harsh chemo" since January, until last week, due to getting the trach and radiation. However, the heart sits heavy tonight as I lay alone in bed while my wonderful wife is 100+ miles away with my son due to a fever. This past week has been pretty hard on us as two weeks ago we had a happy, energetic, and playful son but last weeks chemo has hit him hard and torn him down a lot from where he was just a few weeks ago. Last year the "harsh chemos" didn't seem to hit as hard due to the fact that his condition was improving compared to how he was at the time of diagnoses. However, two weeks ago my wife and I were discussing how good he was doing and we both agreed that our son was back as he was running, playing, and being his old dare devil self but during the last few days last weeks chemo has set him back to a worst place than when we first came home after our initial diagnosis and first month in the hospital with him. Between that and the diagnoses of a sixteen year old, with the exact same cancer as Grant, that lives in the same county as us and is also kin folk to one of Mori's childhood friends these past two weeks have been an emotional rollercoaster for us.
Grants counts have dropped much quicker than we have anticipated due to radiation and likely partly due to us under estimating as it has been so long since he's had this chemo. With Grants low counts, his left leg is very worrisome as it is red all the way around and is starting to blister like a burn, which it is. His low counts could allow infection to set in which could be detrimental. In fact all of his "sites" have been painful and has shown signs of potential infection. Today he has experienced pain around his trach which is red, his port area is red and hurts, he has complained of his feeding tube hurting the last few days, and as today has gone on the redness of his leg has intensified and as I said above it has started to blister. Being at home tonight is almost as difficult as the following weeks after initial diagnosis considering how bad things could get if a staff infection sets in his leg our am other site, that they were away last week, and depending on the cause of the fever could be in the hospital until the next round of chemo next week which is also inpatient.
Lord, we are so grateful for your many blessings especially all of Grant's Guardians, whose prayers you've heard and answered. We are so thankful for the good days we've enjoyed with Grant the past few months. Lord, we ask that you continue to bless us with the strength and courage we need to get through this journey with our son. We ask that you lift Grant up with your healing hands Lord and ease his pain, rid him of his fever, heal his leg, and restore his counts so that we can enjoy time at home as a family.
Lord, we ask that you are with Paul and help him during his fight with this horrible disease. I pray that you touch this family the way that you did ours when Grant was diagnosed. Lord, we ask that you bless this family to find comfort in you as well as with the strength and courage they need to face the journey ahead of them. Lord, we pray that they receive the resources they need for their fight as this had separated their family by states add Paul seeks treatment.
Dear Heavenly Father, we ask that you are with all cancer patients and their families as they battle this horrible disease. Lord, we ask that those that know you are brought closer to you through their journey and that those that don't know you are led to you through their journey. In Jesus' name we pray, Amen.
