The doctor told Haley she has non-small cell lung cancer and it is in the 4th stage in which there is no cure.. She took it as before, with a smile. I must tell you I am just sick. And how in the world does a 15 year old hear those words and smile instead of cry? I'm absolutely positive I would have been scared to death if I would have gotten news like that when I was 15. She is trusting in Jesus not the doctors. Not just with her life, but with her precious soul. And praise God for keeping her heart calm.

Our Doctor is going to present Haley's case to St.Judes in Memphis and a hospital in Huston for clinical trials treatment. If they don't feel like they could improve her chances to kill the cells than we are going to start chemo Friday.

How do you go back to work? She is going to school tomorrow. How? I just want to steal her away and go see the world with her. And cherish every second God grants us. But it just doesn't work that way.

Oh God I am weak, but you are strong!!

Our thoughts and prayers are with Haley and your family. I know she has a tough road ahead of her, but as I told Deanna, she's young and strong and has all the love and faith in the world. Please believe God will direct you in the right direction... and miracles DO exist.

God's Little Beacon of Light

I've said it from the first time I heard about Haley during this trying time...God knew Haley's heart...God knew He could trust and depend on her to show others that He is here...He is in control...He is where we all need to go when in times of trouble, in times of need, in times of joy...in all times. God knew that Haley would let His light shine bright and she has not let him down. She has shown so many people that in times like these, we just need to hand it all to Him. Like Haley told me in an email, she is not taking any glory for anything she has done, it's all God. Haley has shown me, for one, that my own relationship with God has faltered some and not as close as it should be. I know that this, through Haley allowing God to use her, has helped many others in so many other different situations. God knows all our hearts, just as He knew the heart of a young 15 year old lady. We are all praying for this little lady and know she is trusting in God's will and letting Him use her to follow through on His plans...so we, too, have to believe in God and trust Him with Haley...how could we not when she has been so adament in her trust in Him. Scott, Deanna, Colleen...all the family, you need to draw from Haley's strength...I know you are all Christians, and I for one, know that at times like this it is easy to want to fix things yourselves or to blame yourselves or find fault somewhere...know that God makes no mistakes...He knows what He is doing, and we may never know what His reasons were but Haley has put all her trust in Him so we should to. There is no way anyone could have stopped this or known this would happen. As parents, I'm sure it's going through your minds that maybe if you had done something different or whatever your thinking...stop it. Watch your daughter and draw from her strength...it's ok to be weak, it's ok to be unsure...draw from her...because God is definately with her and giving her the strength she needs...He will give it to you also. Know He is in control. Prayers are going up for you all over the country. We love you all.

Our prayers are always with you Haley--you too Scott, Colleen and all.
Your faith Haley is a light to many.
Scott, you should be proud of her--she is changing many people by having Jesus in her heart.
Stay strong and in prayer--We may not be with you physically but spiritually we are.

With that I would like to give you a piece of scripture that jumped out at me today as I was watching that beautiful video of Haley and Cassie.

Revelation 21:1-5 (King James Version)

Revelation 21

1And I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth were passed away; and there was no more sea.

2And I John saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down from God out of heaven, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband.

3And I heard a great voice out of heaven saying, Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and he will dwell with them, and they shall be his people, and God himself shall be with them, and be their God.

4And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away.

5And he that sat upon the throne said, Behold, I make all things new. And he said unto me, Write: for these words are true and faithful.

Our Love,

The Boudonck Family

Kristy, Anita, Stephanie and Greg, It's so good to read your caring posts of prayer for our Haley.
She is doing quite well after her first treatment. I understand she went to church today.
I don't get to be with her as much as I'd like to but I think about her constantly.
She is so strong in her faith and I know that will help her through all this.
I thank you all just for being here with us.

Keep the Faith, Haley!!

When my Mom first got diagnosed my Mother in Law told me about a bible verse which asks : Whose report wll you believe? Haley smiled through her diagnosis because she is trusting in God's report not the Doctor's reports. Keep believing Haley... your spirit and faith will get you through this! I am praying for you!
Stand strong in your belief!

God's Peace - Haley

Haley, I have been living with this for almost 3 years now, they found it one an x-ray on 26 Dec 05 when I was deployed to Qatar with the Air Force Reserves - it was officially diagnosed as Adenocarcinoma with BAC features, Stage IV, on 22 Feb 06. I started Chemo on 23 Feb and have been going ever since - but my greatest weapon has been my faith in God and all the prayer support I have - I think that is what really keeps me going - my favorite bible verse is Philippians 4:6 "Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your request to God" I really don't worry about my cancer or anything for that matter - I turn it all over to God and He takes care of it. Another favorite saying I have is "If God brings me to it He will bring me through it" He has so far been with me every step of the way - I have never felt alone, I always feel like He is right there. I pray that you will always have peace and feel His presence.

God's peace - Pamee

Hi Haley and family,

My name is Kevin Brumett. I was diagnosed with Non-Small Cell, Large Cell Carcinoma, Stage IIIa/b in August of 2007. I was 29 years old. I read that your oncologists are going to test your biopsies for the EGFR mutation. That is good. Tell them that you also want them to test for EML4-ALK and KRAS as well. If they do not have the capabilities to test for these other mutations, then contact the Dana Farber Cancer Institute or Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center in Boston, MA. They can and will test for those mutations. They tested mine and I do not have the EGFR mutation, but I do have the EML4-ALK mutation and have been on a Phase I clinical trial drug produced by Pfizer Pharmaceuticals and it is working. The key to defeating this disease is to get the specific targeted therapy for the turmor type that you have present. If you or your Dad have any questions, please contact me. My email address is kevin_brumett@yahoo.com.

Stay Strong,
Kevin

Hello, Haley, Scott, Julie, Aunt Shirley and everyone else!

Dear Scott, Haley, and family,
Haley - you and I have never actually met but I am your father's 1st cousin and I live up here in the frozen tundra of northern Illinois. Scott and Julie, wow has it been a long time since we've seen each other. We were all very sorry to hear about the fire, Scott. I want you all to know that through all of this my husband, Shane, and I have been praying for all of you and believing God for complete and total healing for you, Haley. We also submitted the information to our church's prayer request site on the web so our whole church is praying for you all as well. I know my brother Rick has his church praying for all of you, too. Haley I just wanted to tell you that you have been such an inspiration to me. At such a young age and going through all of this and your faith in God is so evident and your strength in your belief in Him and His Word is so awesome. I love all those pictures of you, especially the ones with the crazy, rocker hairdos and stuff. My friends and I used to mess around like that, too. Like one of the other comments said, Gods Word says that 1 can put a thousand to flight, and 2 can put ten thousand to flight, and you have thousands of people that love you and are praying for you. The Bible also says that when 2 or more are gathered together in agreement, anything they ask in His Name, He will do for us. In my human mind I cant comprehend everything that you guys are going through, but I know that God's Word never changes, that His promises are yes and amen, and that what the devil means for evil, God will turn it around. I know you all must have so many unanswered questions as far as what you have prayed about. The biggest one being "Why?". I can't tell you those answers but I can remind you that God said He would never leave us nor forsake us and nothing, absolutly nothing can separate us from the love of God. Our prayers are for the quick manifestation of Haley's healing, peace for the whole family, and wisdom for all the health care professionals involved in Haley's care, and restoration of your home. The other night I was laying in bed and thinking about life in general and the things God's children go through and God gave me just a short saying but it is powerful. "Sometimes, you've just got to hold on with all of your might, sometimes, you just have to realize that God is on your side, and yes, you will survive." Haley, Scott, Julie, Aunt Shirley, and everyone, we love you, we are praying for you, and know that you are never alone! God Bless!

Hi Scott, Coleen, Haley, and family,
I could not believe it when Jim called to tell me about the fire. It took the whole day to wrap my mind around it. I do not know why this is all happening, but I know God is still in control and loves you all very much. Don't forget he says we are the apple of his eye. It may be hard to have people say things to comfort you now, hard to hear in your pain, but He is the only comfort we have to offer. I can't even begin to imagine how you must feel. But, know you are in my prayers and I have many friends and family members who are lifting you all up in prayer daily. We will keep it up until the Lord heals all the hurts. I know Jim talks to you often, but I don't so I wanted you to know I , with countless others, are lifting your names to the Father many times a day. God does hear, and will answer in His way, and His time.
I love ya,
Tammy
