7. Happy Birthday Devon
A year ago I brought in my birthday in a dark place mentally with me finding out a month before that my daughter had cancer but this year/today we are in a whole different space. Last year was rough but no matter how hard it got we never folded. Now tonight with Leah in remission, I can bring in my 26th bday with all smiles and laughs. There's no gift that can top that!

8. Leah Had A Stem Cell Complication
Devon said she's doing way better now, but they're not out of the weeds just yet. "Can't really talk or smile but she wanted to give y'all a thumbs up to say she is doing better and thanks for the prayers…first time she's really been awake in 4 days so we are making a little progress 🙏🏽"

9. Prayers Up
I need some prayers sent up for Leah tonight! We hit a pretty serious complication from the stem cell transplant called VOD. They caught it early so hopefully it gives the doctors a better chance of stopping it from getting aggressive. As you can imagine our minds are all over the place but we're going to try and remain positive! #LeahStrong #WaitingForTheDayEverythingReturnsToNormal

11. Back To The Baldy
Rocking hair was cool but it was time for us to go back to the baldy! I know she wanted nothing more but to grow her long hair back but we will take a clean bill of health over hair any day! Hopefully this will be the last treatment she ever has that will make her hair fall out #LeahStrong

13. Stay Silly
Everyday I whisper in my daughter's ear to stay strong. No matter how hard this treatment starts to get, you have to stay strong and not let it get the best of you. And everyday her actions show me that she's listening. She shouldn't have this much energy to do this kind of stuff but she's a fighter and she is determined to remain her goofy self through it all #LeahStrong

17. Ready For Stem Cell Transplant
Just got to the hospital ready to start Leah's stem cell transplant. For those who don't know what a stem cell transplant is, it's an inpatient procedure that last about 4-6 weeks were patients receive high dosage chemo in order to destroy their damaged or cancerous cells in the body and rebuild new ones. It's a very serious, scary and long treatment but it is a step in the right direction. I'm definitely nervous

20. Devon Still Is Everything
A couple of days ago I found out Leah would be starting her stem cell transplant (one of the hardest treatments in dealing with cancer that last 4-6 weeks) next Tuesday, one day before her birthday. I was hurt by the news because after all she's been through I didn't want that to be the way she celebrated her bday. When I told her she would be in hospital for her bday she looked to the ground with a sad face…

21. Repeat Image To Finish The Story
& seconds later she popped her head up with a smile on her face and said, " that's ok! can we just have cake and balloons in my room?" Seeing how she handles bad news really amazes me and continues to really put life into a different perspective. Although her only wish was for cake and balloons I couldn't let my baby celebrate her bday like that. So I had to book a surprise daddy daughter weekend getaway to her face

26. Happy Birthday Leah!
I could go on and on about how much my daughter means to me but I think it's pretty apparent by now. I could write a book under this pic about how much it hurts to see my daughter getting chemo on her birthday but I'm not. Today I'm just going to be thankful. Thankful that God has blessed me with 5 years with this amazing little girl that I can proudly say is my daughter. Of course this is not where we want to be…

Leah & her online teacher getting some work done..Since she can't attend school I had to sign Leah up for online tutoring sessions to keep her up to date on her school work for when she starts kindergarten..trying it out for a week before I make a final decision on whether to do online or have a teacher come to the house..doing it online is obviously different then having that one on one feel with a teacher in person

That moment you get the best news you've ever received and don't know what to do so you just flex!! We got Leah's MIBG Scans back tonight and the doctors told us they didn't see any active disease in her body!!! We still have to wait for her MRI and bone biopsy results later this week. But the doctors feel very optimistic about them because of the results from today. So for now we celebrate!! #LeahStrong #PrayersWork

52. Kicking Cancer's Butt!
June 2, 2014 and March 25, 2015 are days I will remember for the rest of my life. June 2nd was the day doctors walked into the waiting room to tell me my daughter had cancer. It was the most devastating day of my life. March 25th , however, is feeling like the best day of my life. Today we received news from Leah's oncologist that her cancer, stage four neuroblastoma, is officially in REMISSION!
