I have been looking back at past blogs of what we were up to a year ago. My heart goes out to that family, but then I think wait, that was us!! I was so stressed I couldn't even talk or think right, but I think of all those people we have met through this trial who struggle like we do to fight for our childrens life and how they have given us strength. The nurses who, bless them, do what they can to make life a little easier. The doctors who know, who have studied and gone through schooling for protocols of cancer, relapse and transplants. For family and freinds who pray and do all they can to help. For my little family, who have struggled so hard to be strong with only one parent and who were scared for Chloe and couldn't see her everyday. My heart is full for all of you.
Chloe is doing well and although this GVHD is a beast to get rid of she is fighting, and I am amazed at her strength. I am thankful for that mother who donated her sons cord blood eleven years ago to give my sweet chloe a chance at life. A long road is hopefully coming to an end. Cancer does not beat us, and although I am sad that is has taken some of her "normal" life away from us, we are stronger, smarter and know how precious life is. So to my girls and my boys who have had one of the hardest years of our life...we made it 365!!!

I hope you are enjoying your celebration trip together! I can't imagine what a year (or two or three) it has been. You have all been so strong and great examples to us. Each of you have been committed to the fight and the way you have handled it is inspiring. We continue to pray in your behalf. Chloe, you have a story to tell...one of courage, faith and amazing strength. We can learn a lot from you. Wishing you even better days ahead.....The Eskelsons
Wow! 365, I am so happy for you Chloe and the rest of your family as well. This is a huge accomplishment.
