She is not yet herself, but this afternoon, the pre-chemo Keira showed her face. We saw a glimmer of the careful, laughing and overly curious little girl that crawled through our house before this mess began. After 3 days of fussiness and other more unpleasant experiences, it was a relief and a joy to see little Keira Grace waving her rattles around and trying for long periods of time with such a serious demeanor to open a pink plastic egg. That is the little girl who regularly owned our home prior to her chemo treatments, the girl who almost got lost under the weight of toxic chemicals they had to pump into her little body.
We are so thrilled to say that Keira really had a few good hours today. Little by little she seems to be winning this battle. We only pray that she continues to overcome and that she might be out of the worst of the side effects for now.
We continue to ask for your prayers and we continue to believe that God hears His people when they pray. Thank you so much,
Jason, Erin & Keira

Jason, Erin & Keira -
Thank you for allowing others to follow your journey. I am a friend of Mel Bush. I have a daughter that turned 1 March 9th and my heart breaks that you have to endure such a trying time. I will be praying that no matter how good or bad the day, you remember who your God is and what He can do. For me, that would be the hardest as the day to day hardships surrounded came and went. You are doing a good job. For some reason, I feel like I need to say that again. You are doing a good job... balancing, loving and enjoying each day. Keep going and know that the God we serve is looking to give you blessings, just like you are looking for opportunities to bless Keira. Thanks, Kate
Dear Bowmans, I think of you every day, and try to pray every time you come to mind. You are showing all of us what it is like to endure, to truly trust God rather than just talking about it, and what love really looks like. If you have this much passion for your little girl, just think about how much a perfect God cares for all of us! Give Keira a kiss from me.
