Welcome to Nathan and Thomas' web page. It has been provided to keep family and friends updated about their bone marrow transplants that took place on April 15,2005 at Duke University Hospital in N.C. Their sweet sister, Kaitlyn, was the donor for both! We are excited about this curing their primary immune deficiency, X-linked Hyper IgM (XHIM). Thank you for visiting our page...your prayers and guestbook entries continue to carry us through this journey.

Superchick ~ We Live
There's a cross on the side of the road Where a mother lost a son How could she know that the morning he left Would be the last time she'd trade with him for a little more time So she could say she loved him one last time And hold him tight But with life we never know When we're coming up to the end of the road So what do we do then With tragedy around the bend?
We live we love We forgive and never give up Cuz the days we are given are gifts from above And today we remember to live and to love
We live we love We forgive and never give up Cuz the days we are given are gifts from above And today we remember to live and to love
There's a man who waits for the tests To see if the cancer has spread yet And now he asks, "So why did I wait to live till it was time to die?" If I could have the time back how I'd live Life is such a gift So how does the story end? Well this is your story and it all depends So don't let it become true Get out and do what we were meant to do
We live we love We forgive and never give up Cuz the days we are given are gifts from above And today we remember to live and to love
We live we love We forgive and never give up Cuz the days we are given are gifts from above And today we remember to live and to love
Waking up to another dark morning People are mourning The weather in life outside is storming But what would it take for the clouds to break For us to realize each day is a gift somehow, someway? So get our heads up out of the darkness And spark this new mindset and start to live life cuz it ain't gone yet And tragedy is a reminder to take off the blinders And wake up and live the life we're supposed to take up Moving forward with all our heads up cuz life is worth living
We live we love We forgive and never give up Cuz the days we are given are gifts from above And today we remember to live and to love

Hi, everybody!
I know it's been a LONG time since I've updated.....there's not much to report, except boring NORMAL stuff, since the boys are cured, on no meds and not needing any medical help....PRAISE GOD!!!!!! We're staying busy with school, church, friends and family....and Little League just started.
The boys' BMT anniversary is coming next month....it'll be 3 YEARS! Thank you to all who've supported us through the hard times....it's so good to be on this side, looking back with awe and wonder that we got through it. Jesus carried us on the wings of people's prayers.
We hope all is well with your family. Our Duke friends remain in our hearts and prayers.
By the way, Kaitlyn changed the video and song for me above.....check it out!
Living, loving, forgiving & never giving up~ Lisa
P.S. Have a Happy Easter soon! Be sure to celebrate Jesus, Who gives life to all who will believe.
