Welcome to Xander's webpage. Xander is 6 years old and has completed treatment for Stage 4 Neuroblastoma at Children's Medical Center in Oklahoma City. He was diagnosed in June 2004 at the age of 2 1/2. Xander had 8 rounds of chemo, surgery to remove his tumor and a stem cell transplant. Xander is in remission as of 4/4/05 and has completed 6 months of oral chemotherapy . As believers in Christ we know that prayer is powerful and we ask that you join us in praying for continued healing for Xander and strength for the journey ahead.
On February 22, 2007 Xander had a tumor removed from his abdomen. Praise the Lord it was completely ganglioneuroma,dead neuroblastoma.
Xander began 3 weeks of radiation on April 16, 2007.
Xander completed radiation on May 4, 2007 and on June 15, 2007 received news that the radiation was successful. Praise the Lord!!

Hope everyone made it out to vote today!
Just wanted to let you know that Xander is doing great. He will have a complete round of testing done on November 18th and 19th. Bone Marrow, MIBG, and CAT Scan! Please begin (or continue) praying that all of these tests show no evidence of cancer in Xander's body. We are so ready for complete healing.
I love this time of year, as the leaves are falling from the trees, it gets dark early and as Xander would say "it's time for chicken n dumplings"!!
Some have asked "when is the baby due?" We had an ultrasound last week and were told June 1st!! Yeah for a summer baby. Although as most of you know our summers are insanely busy with Super Summer, Falls Creek, VBS and countless other youth events. Isn't it great to know that God's timing is ALWAYS perfect!!!
