Madeline has completed her first chemotherapy treatment and we got her home today around 12:30 pm. It was overwhelming for her as well as our family to see all the blue ribbons tied to trees and posts in the neighborhood. She was especially touched by all the signs welcoming her home and the expressions of love. Madey really liked the blue balloons. We want to send out a special thank you to all the members of the Creekside Ward for not only supporting Madeline but for the meals, phone calls, the kind words, and especially the prayers. We also want to thank the many others that are supporting her and our family at this time, it is a lot to take in, but we are truly grateful. We recognize that we are still in the early stages of our battle with cancer, but we feel as if we are already making progress thanks to the faith and prayers of others. We are also grateful to the coaches and players of the Layton and Davis High School girls basketball teams for encouraging cancer awareness by honoring many who have battled or are currently battling cancer. The T-Shirts and wristbands that were sold on Madey's behalf by her teammates and coaches from FJH girls basketball team were great. Madey is also grateful for the many cards, gift baskets, flowers, and balloons that she has received as well.
Baring no set backs we are scheduled to begin round 2 of Chemotherapy on February 4th. In the meantime we will continue to move forward exercising faith that the Lord will help us through this ordeal.
We also would like to let anyone who is interested know that Madey will be featured on 'Talking Sports' tonight at 10:30 pm KUTV channel 2.

You are such an amazing family and a great example to us all. With all you have done for others in the past (including our family), it is of no surprise to me to see this wonderful outpouring of love and support to you now. You guys are awesome and you are continually in our prayers.
