Today, Magnolia started Cycle 5 of chemotherapy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

It feels like another mountain to climb, but we are walking into it with hope, faith, and confidence that God is holding every step of the journey.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our surgical team has prepared us by explaining that these next two chemotherapy cycles may be especially challenging due to Magnolia being a liver transplant warrior, her little body has already endured so much, and these treatments may now be harder on her than before.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Even knowing that, we choose faith over fear.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We firmly believe that God has far greater plans for Magnolia\u2019s life than we can currently see. Time and time again, He has carried her through impossible moments, and we trust that He will continue to strengthen her through every treatment, every lab result, and every difficult day ahead.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If Magnolia could put this journey into words, we\u2019re pretty sure she\u2019d flash one of her beautiful smiles and say:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI\u2019m doing it with a smile because cancer isn\u2019t going to kick my butt\u2026 I\u2019m going to kick cancer\u2019s butt!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

She continues to remind us what courage looks like not because she isn\u2019t facing something hard, but because she faces it with joy, resilience, and a smile that points us back to God\u2019s goodness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Please continue praying for Magnolia as she begins Cycle 5 that God would protect her, strengthen her little body, and allow these treatments to accomplish their purpose. We believe the best chapters of her story are still being written, and we can\u2019t wait to see how God continues to receive all the glory through her life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

Hoy, Magnolia comenz\u00f3 el Ciclo 5 de quimioterapia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sentimos que es otra monta\u00f1a por escalar, pero la enfrentamos con esperanza, fe y la confianza de que Dios est\u00e1 guiando cada paso de este camino.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nuestro equipo de trasplante nos ha preparado, explic\u00e1ndonos que estos pr\u00f3ximos dos ciclos de quimioterapia podr\u00edan ser especialmente dif\u00edciles. Debido a que Magnolia es una guerrera de trasplante de h\u00edgado, su peque\u00f1o cuerpo ya ha soportado much\u00edsimo, y estos tratamientos podr\u00edan ser m\u00e1s fuertes para ella que antes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Aun sabiendo eso, elegimos la fe por encima del temor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Creemos firmemente que Dios tiene planes mucho m\u00e1s grandes para la vida de Magnolia de lo que hoy podemos ver. Una y otra vez, \u00c9l la ha sostenido en medio de momentos que parec\u00edan imposibles, y confiamos en que seguir\u00e1 fortaleci\u00e9ndola en cada tratamiento, cada resultado de laboratorio y cada d\u00eda dif\u00edcil que venga.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Si Magnolia pudiera poner en palabras este proceso, estamos seguros de que nos regalar\u00eda una de sus hermosas sonrisas y dir\u00eda:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“\u00a1Lo estoy haciendo con una sonrisa porque el c\u00e1ncer no me va a vencer… yo voy a vencer al c\u00e1ncer!”<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ella sigue record\u00e1ndonos c\u00f3mo se ve el verdadero valor, no porque no est\u00e9 enfrentando algo dif\u00edcil, sino porque lo enfrenta con alegr\u00eda, resiliencia y una sonrisa que constantemente nos se\u00f1ala la bondad de Dios.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Por favor, contin\u00faen orando por Magnolia mientras comienza este Ciclo 5. Oren para que Dios la proteja, fortalezca su peque\u00f1o cuerpo y permita que estos tratamientos cumplan su prop\u00f3sito. Creemos que los mejores cap\u00edtulos de su historia a\u00fan est\u00e1n por escribirse, y esperamos con ilusi\u00f3n seguir viendo c\u00f3mo Dios contin\u00faa recibiendo toda la gloria a trav\u00e9s de su vida.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
