UPDATE: 10-11-07
Calvin called to give a quick update on Courtney. She is doing great! He asked that I convey their appreciation for your prayers. Courtney is soon going to be cancer free for five years and she is about to turn 18. What a miracle she truly is. From her family and myself, thank you and thank God.
UPDATE: 5-23-06
I just talked with Courtney's father this evening and
he said that Courtney is not feeling well.
The doctor told them that there is a possibility that
she has pneumonia. Nothing showed up on the
x-rays but it could be to early to show up at this time.
Would you please pass this on to the prayer warrior.
Thank you and God bless
UPDATE: 1-30-06
I spoke with Calvin and Connie and Courtney on the phone last night.
Courtney is doing well…Praise the Lord. She is now 16, can you believe
it? She has her learners permit is learning to drive and seems excited about
it. She needs continued prayer for her eyes to continue to improve from
the damage caused by treatments and she continues to need prayer for
some problems she probably wouldn't want me to name in this post.
We hope to get a new picture soon as her hair is really long again and
we haven't had a picture in a long time.
Calvin, Connie, and Courtney covet and appreciate your continued
support through prayer and wanted me to convey their thanks and
love to each of you….Elizabeth
UPDATE: 4-4-05
Calvin called last night to give a report on Courtney. She
continues to do well and is growing up fast. Her and her
mother just spent some time with her aunt...just the girls.
She continues to have some headaches so keep this in
prayer but overall is doing great. Keep her covered in prayer
and know that your prayers are greatly appreciated. The family
send their deepest thanks and gratitude for your prayers and
love....Elizabeth
UPDATE: 2-21-05
Courtney's dad called to give an update. She is doing very
well overall. She is having some difficulty with math in school
but otherwise is doing well. Her blood counts have been good
and they are now checking her counts every two months
instead of monthly. It has been two years since her last
treatment...Praise the Lord! Calvin and Connie send you their
great appreciation and thanks for all your prayers
for Courtney and ask you to continue to cover her in prayer
claiming her healing.
Courtney became an Auntie in December. She has a nephew,
Josiah, and she totally loves and enjoys him. We hope to post
some pictures soon of Courtney holding Josiah.
We give God praise for His touch on Courtney and thanks for
allowing us to become part of her family.
Love and Blessings,
Elizabeth

Courtney is on her make-a-wish trip to Alaska. I received this
post card today:

tomorrow, and if it's not to hot Thrusday we are suppose to go
up in a helicopter adn go dog sled riding. We're thinking and
praying for all.

UPDATE: 8-13-04
On Monday, we visited with Courtney and her family. Courtney
looks great and she is doing well. She is still having some
headaches and she needs continued prayer for her vision.
Her scans and bloodwork continue to be cancer free and give
God praise. We all went to lunch and I learned that Courtney
doesn't like salad but does like Chocolate. She is very tiny
and I had to ask her where all the food she ate went....lol.
We were joined for lunch by her older sister Candance, who is
expecting her first child. The entire family is such a delight to be
with. Mom, Courtney, and sister all have this beautiful natural
curly hair...for which I was very envious.
After lunch we returned to their home and talked and laughed
and took pictures AND...I got to see some home videos of Courtney
when she was little...We laughed so hard and I had tears from
laughing. She was so funny and as now such a total delight and
even a little sassy. We got to see mom get a little stressed on video
when the newly painted Easter egg ended up on her carpet...LOL...
It was so wonderful and we appreciate so much their gifts of love and
allowing us to be such a personal part of their family...Elizabeth

enjoying life.

appreciate your prayers for Courtney and how much your

UPDATE: 12-26-03
Well, one year ago today Courtney was diagnoses with cancer.
Praise God ... she is in remission and doing well. So much has
happened in just one year. Courtney was able to go to Myrtle
Beach on vacation with the family this last summer. She is in
school for 1 - 2 hours a day. Then a home bound teacher comes
in for 2 hours each day. In fact Courtney told me that she just took
a History test that covered 5 chapters and made a B+ on it. She
told me that she didn't even have to study for the test.
Next week she will be going into Children's Hospital of Kings
Daughters for an EEG test and then on Jan. 7th she will be
having an MRI done. Her eye sight continues to improve.
Prayer focus for Courtney: Continued healing of brain and eyesight.
Praise to God for what He has done in her life.
I will be sending updated pictures of Courtney. I am having problems
with my scanner...not sure what is wrong.
Thank you
Cheryl
