Great news!

The Allen family received wonderful news today! NO TUMOR HAS GROWN BACK!! The spot they saw on the last MRI is no longer there! There is one other area they want to watch but they don't believe it to be cancerous at this time!

Thank you all for your prayers and support!

Prayers needed this week

The week is here that the Allen's will know what is going on with the spot on Bradley's last MRI. We ask that you join us in praying that it is just a spot from radiation, however, this MRI will be done at St. Judes. The Allen's will be meeting with a team of the top doctor's in the world there as a precaution and to get to know them, in the chance that they will be needed. We pray they are not!!

Please join me in praying that the Allen family receives good news this week from the team at St. Jude!!

Merry Christmas

Hope you all are ready for the holidays and can spend them with your loved ones. I am very much looking forward to being home for Christmas with my WHOLE family. Bradley has been doing very well. He seems to be making gains every day. He has his first MRI the week after Christmas to find out if the tumor and cancer are truly gone as we pray that they are. He has come so far and beat so many odds that We believe that he will be triumphant and live a long and prosperous life. For now we are just focusing on the holidays and very thankful that we will all be together. We are very grateful to all of the people out there that in some way have helped us in time of need in the previous months. If not for your donations we would not have been able to get him all the care he needed and still be able to take care of the other kids and keep our home. We can never thank you enough, but I will try...Thank you from the bottom of my heart. Please enjoy your family's and lets look forward to a great New Year, god bless you all!

Coming home!

Tomorrow is the day that we all have been praying and waiting for for a very long time! We are going home tomorrow and should be home before the sun sets. It seems like we have been here for ever, but it realy has only been 7 weeks.Bradley will start physical therapy as soon as we get back along with occupational and speach.Bradley has been his happy little self each and every day.He is a true inspiration to alot of people including myself. My oldest son was in his first Taekwondo tournament on Saturday.He did realy awesome and at the end the presented him with a $1000.00 check for Bradley's bills.Channel 13 was there and did the story for the 6 and 10 O'clock news.It was realy cute hearing Elijah say that Bradley looks just like him.I have an interview on Thursday, so hopefully I will have a job very soon.I have been lowering the doses of bradleys meds for about three weeks and as of right now he hasn't had any in over 24 hours.He also has been getting all his food directly into his G-tube and and I haven't used his J-tube in over a month. It feels like we are on the road to recovery.Thank you for all your prayers and support over the past months.You all have helped us through a very tough time in our lives.Take care and god bless you all!

Bradley's Birthday

So sorry we haven't posted any updates lately.It's so easy to get caught up in the moment some times.You all have followed and supported Bradley since the beginning and we are eternally thankful.Bradley has been doing great!The side effects that we were told he may experience have been nonexistent.Which is a good thing obviously.We are down to our final 6 treatments...woot...woot!We can't wait to be home with the rest of the family and doing normal stuff.Bradley will start his physical, speech, and occupational therapy as soon as we return home.He has gotten so strong that I am sure he will be walking within his second week.When you stop and really think about this past year....it's amazing to be where we are right now....all the late nights filled with uncertainty.All the different doctors and nurses that we have met a long the way.All the different hospitals and beds that we have slept in.Dreaming of the day when you finally wake up in your home surroundings....for good.All of the thousands of people...praying and believing with us...that this day would come and even though this is not the end of his story.It certainly will take on a new beginning.
We love, thank, and appreciate all your thoughts, prayers, and support.You have helped us to reach god....he has heard and he is in our corner.
LOVE THE ALLEN'S
