Just two short years ago we spent Thanksgiving in the hospital, struggling to hang on to hope that Natalie could get through this. Look at us now!! Thanksgiving 2011 is AWESOME!! We thank our Lord and Savior everyday for what HE has done for our family. HE healed our daughter!! We give Him all the glory and are so grateful He loves us and hears our prayers. If your battleing something, call on Him. He is there and loves you too.<br />Please remember to be thankful this holiday season and put a smile on someones face.

We haven't stopped smiling. We have been celebrating in both Arizona and Colorado and tell just about everyone we come in contact with what an amazing GOD we serve. We give Him all the glory and praise and KNOW that HE is truly the Healer in all of this. Natalie is feeling great and has a smile like no other on her face all the time. She is so awesome, we couldn't be more proud. We so look forward to what life has in store for Natalie. We know she is going to do big things and change even more lives then she already has.

She got her last bone marrow and spinal tap and they called and told us there is no signs of cancer. We can not express the joy in our hearts for this wonderful news. It has been a long hard two and a half years. We had many incredibly hard days and shed more tears then we ever thought possible but by the Grace of GOD we made it. WE MADE IT!!!! We promise to be a light unto the world and do whatever we can to help anyone that ever endures this beast called cancer. If you have faith in God then never give up and pray, pray and pray some more. God hears us and answers us!

Her ANC (immune system) was to low the last few weeks so they held all chemo until yesterday. Sometimes I think your body just flat needs a break. Natalie got her drivers license on September 13th. She passed with a 100% which makes us very happy. She is loving driving herself around. She drives her and her brother Wyatt to school now and that is awesome for me. 10 months from tomorrow is the finish line. We will be DONE and by the Grace of God, Natalie will be healed FOREVER.Sharon Erwinhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15883215865911416245noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7107279832286610391.post-12483625455057157152010-09-04T21:01:00.000-07:002010-09-04T21:12:14.473-07:00Hey everyone~ <br />I'm not sure if many people still read this but I thought I would update it for those who do. (: I can't believe that August has already came and gone. I am enjoying school and have made many new friends. <br /><br />This Thursday my mom and I fly out to Arizona. My birthday is on Sunday and her birthday is Monday. We are going out so I can see all of my friends and get my license. It's crazy that in a week I can get my license. (: I can't wait to see everyone there. Hope everyone is doing great! <br /><br />Nat.Sharon Erwinhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15883215865911416245noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7107279832286610391.post-24790242930749992962010-08-13T12:36:00.000-07:002010-08-13T12:43:57.173-07:00ONE YEAR LEFT OF TREATMENT!!Some days it felt like this journey was never going to end. Most days now it seems so normal and sometimes for a quick second we forget it's not over. Today marks one year to go. Natalie has completed one and 1/2 years so far and on August 13th, 2011 she is done. Studies have proven that it doesn't do any good to go longer, by that time it should be gone forever. We pray daily it is. We pray Natalie's next year is great and healthy. She has so much to offer this world. I think even if she wasn't my first born, special gift from God I would think she was an amazing person. She has lots of work to do here and I know God has great plans for her. One month from yesterday she gets her drivers license. Whoooo hoooo. She is so excited. She is doing really well with her treatment and we really like the doctor here. We miss everyone is Arizona very much but are loving living in Colorado. <br />We ask that for the next 365 days you keep Natalie in your prayers. 100% cured! That's what we ask for and trust that is what He will do. Love you all!Sharon Erwinhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15883215865911416245noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7107279832286610391.post-91910156710328287502010-07-14T13:09:00.000-07:002010-07-14T13:19:54.228-07:00Hey guys~ <br />It's Nat. I thought that I would update the blog this time. Summer has gone by so fast, but I have enjoyed it very much. We got back from Illinois last night. We all had a great time seeing all of our family there and being able to spend time with them. It is definitely good to be home though. <br />I am looking forward to starting back to school here again. I miss my friends back in AZ a lot though. Hopefully I can make a lot of new friends to make this school year pass by quickly. <br /><br />I hope that all of your guys' summer is going great! <br />In God's Hands<br />Nat.Sharon Erwinhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15883215865911416245noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7107279832286610391.post-37856618204930851552010-06-04T18:56:00.000-07:002010-06-04T19:03:14.988-07:00Let Summer Begin!For a change we are excited for the summer weather this year. So far it has been in the 80's here and that is sure nice for this time of year. The kids and I have been enjoying the community pool. Natalie is going to be very busy this summer. She flew to Arizona Wednesday with my mom to surprise her best friend. She is staying there for a week and visiting lots of friends and then Ashley is coming here to stay with us for eleven days. We are excited to have her. Natalie misses her so much so it will be great for them to have all that time together. After she leaves me and the kids are going to Illinois to visit Gene's parents for a week. Unfortunately he can't come with us because he doesn't have any time off work yet. Natalie is feeling great and maintenance has been good to her. She looks amazing! We hope you and your family are doing great and as always, thank you for continuing to pray for a complete healing for Natalie. <br />God Bless you all!Sharon Erwinhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15883215865911416245noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7107279832286610391.post-64270009396919771772010-05-15T15:13:00.000-07:002010-05-15T15:21:53.051-07:00Boxes are Unpacked!Hi everyone ~<br />Sorry it has been so long since our last update. Been super busy with the move and getting everyone settled in. <br />Everything went great with the sale of our house and the long road trip to Colorado. We really like the house here and are happy with the neighborhood.<br />The kids are all doing better then we could have hoped for. They have made some good friends and seem to be adjusting great. We all miss everyone from Arizona very much. <br />Natalie has been doing great. Her doctor here is really nice and has made the transition good for us. We loved her doctors in AZ so they do have some big shoes to fill. Maintenance was rough getting going but things are going great now and we are so happy for that. Natalie's hair is growing in super cute and she has gained all but four pounds of her original weight back. Praise the Lord, she is doing great!Sharon Erwinhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15883215865911416245noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7107279832286610391.post-91909896934047863422010-03-19T21:13:00.000-07:002010-03-19T21:26:56.306-07:00Colorado Here We Come!Well the countdown begins. 12 days until the Erwin family moves to Parker, Colorado. I am looking forward to change and having a nice change in seasons. I will miss everyone here so much! The Caron family is throwing a going away party for us on March 27th from 3-8. It's come and go. There will be a grill so if you'd like to bring something to bbq and a dish to share, feel free to do so. I hope you all can make it. <br />~Sorry it has taken me so long to post something new. I have been feeling great so I wasn't sure what to post. I hope everyone has a great and safe spring break! <br /><br />In God's Hands, <br />Natalie<br /><br />(If any of you need directions to the Will Rogers club house for the going away party, you can contact my mom at 480.888.1373 or 480.650.4217)Sharon Erwinhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15883215865911416245noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7107279832286610391.post-40682214820190764252010-02-16T09:20:00.000-08:002010-02-16T09:22:17.729-08:00SlideshowHi,<br />I just wanted to let you all know the slide show is posted at www.Londonsrun.org<br />It is really neat to see all the "Team Natalie" presence there.

Sorry! Natalie is doing really good. Getting on maintenance hasn't been as smooth as we had originally hoped but it has not been to bad. It takes them a little while to get the meds adjusted so Natalie counts have been up and down some and she has been fighting a cold for about three weeks now. We go back in tomorrow to get her checked so hopefully they will give her something to get rid of her cough. Other then that, life is good. Nat's hair is really growing back now. She is excited about that. She looks so good! London's Run was amazing! There were so many people there. "Team Natalie" showed up huge and we were thrilled to see all the orange shirts with her name on them. We appreciate everyone coming out for an awesome event. It was a blast! Well, believe it or not, we are letting Natalie and her little sister, Kendra fly to Illinois for spring break. As much as I would love to make her stay home with us, I have to let her go. She loves going and spending time with her grandma and grandpa Erwin so much. It will be hard for us. I tend to hover a little now. :-) Well, I will do my best to update this more often. Life gets in the way and I tend to forget. Thanks for checking in and praying for Natalie. We love the prayers and support so very much.

Things have been wonderful!!! Natalie is doing great and is actually spending the night with her friend Hallie tonight. First sleepover since this all started in April. Kinda weird for me but I love that she is getting back to normal. She is going back to school on Monday (another weird thing for me). She is very mixed on going back. She has enjoyed the life of getting up whenever she wants and lunches and pedicures with her mom. She misses her friends so I think she will be so glad to get back in the swing of things. <br />If you haven't checked out Londonsrun.org yet, please do. Natalie is one of the highlighted kids and we would love to see you there. It is Jan. 30th. <br />Hope you all had a very Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.

Most of the time we plugged along and tried to make the best as each day but to tell you we are relieved and thankful and shouting from the roof top just doesn't seem to be enough. Natalie completed her final big phase of this nightmare and now we move on to two years of maintenance. We know this is far from over but the relief we feel knowing that the toughest part is behind us is overwhelming. Going to the doctor once a month, wow that will be so easy. Some weeks we were there five times so once a month is going to be awesome. We are so looking forward to Natalie getting back to hanging out with her friends, getting back to school, all the things she hasn't been able to do. I would be lying if I didn't say I have thoroughly enjoyed the time we have had with her, our relationship has grown and we cherish her more then ever before. Please continue to pray for Natalie and our family. Although it will be easier, it isn't over and we covet your prayers. <br />Always relying on HIM!<br />Love ~ The ErwinsSharon Erwinhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15883215865911416245noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7107279832286610391.post-85989474904571902422009-11-29T19:33:00.000-08:002009-11-29T19:45:20.754-08:0015 DAYS AND COUNTINGWe are in the hospital right now. We came in on Thanksgiving evening because Natalie had a fever. They have ran blood cultures everyday but so far they have all came back negative. The doctor thinks the fever is caused by the Ara-C (chemo) shots Natalie was getting. She got the last one Thanksgiving day. Her counts are very low right now from the chemo too. They expect counts to drop and they should start to come up soon. We need counts to rise and fever to drop. It has been hoovering around 99 or 100 and at one point got as high as 103.5<br />Nat has been having some head aches too. This round is hard on her. The saving grace is that we have 15 more days of this phase and life should get so much better. As a mother, it breaks my heart daily to not be able to fix this. All I can do is pray that God hears our plea and heals her completely. We trust that He will. We had lots of company in town for Thanksgiving and unfortunately we hardly got to see them. We knew that was a possibility but were still very disappointed that we didn't get to spend more time with them. Next year will be better! <br />Please continue to keep Natalie in your prayers. <br />Love ~ The Erwin FamilySharon Erwinhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15883215865911416245noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7107279832286610391.post-6756607730674034272009-11-19T08:46:00.000-08:002009-11-19T08:58:05.327-08:00One week down, one to go!<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgw5lylsBXQgFyObWHvVesk8V8TPnRlpjAcT-LZlFp9g6BOVxOdjSl5PDQ26IRjvPn94No58vXyM-EQrxnZR3DmgnuMkdHHSRGW5JpFqOmfgWzFSLZFobIdAC0LBbI6Fzusk3gR_YDbNB0/s1600/Hallie+and+i+.jpg"><img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgw5lylsBXQgFyObWHvVesk8V8TPnRlpjAcT-LZlFp9g6BOVxOdjSl5PDQ26IRjvPn94No58vXyM-EQrxnZR3DmgnuMkdHHSRGW5JpFqOmfgWzFSLZFobIdAC0LBbI6Fzusk3gR_YDbNB0/s320/Hallie+and+i+.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5405857943227307714" /></a><br />I got chemo shots (ara-c shots) Monday through Thursday this week.

Today we found out that my counts are good enough to continue this phase, which means this phase will end on December 14th! I go in for a spinal tap and some other chemo on Monday. The next couple weeks I will also be getting daily chemo shots at home. We have lots of family coming into town for Thanksgiving, so please pray that I feel good and my counts stay stable while they are here. <br />I am going to physical therapy three times a week, and my feet are greatly improving. My goal is to not use the wheelchair when i go back to school on January 4th. Doing my school work from home has been very nice.<br />In His healing hands, <br />NatalieSharon Erwinhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15883215865911416245noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7107279832286610391.post-78168313211655745042009-11-03T14:31:00.000-08:002009-11-03T14:40:20.050-08:00TODAY IS DAY 16We are closing in on completing 16 days out of this 57 day phase. So far things have been going great. Natalie has had a little upset stomach the last two days and her appetite is not as good but she feels pretty good and really doesn't complain about it. She is back on steroids this week along with two other chemo's she got yesterday. She does have some hard stuff coming up later in this phase so hopefully she will just keep sailing right through. It has been so nice having her feeling pretty normal the last month or so. Her feet are continuing to improve and she is walking more and more. That in itself makes her feel better. We would love you to pray for the following:<br />1. continued success during this phase<br />2. no nausea<br />3. feet to keep improving<br />4. spirits remain high<br />5. 100% cure!!!!<br />Thank you so much for praying with us and for us.

We are!Today is day 55. So far, so good. Natalie is feeling good and going strong. We went to physical therapy today and they are so pleased with her progress. She is walking so much better. We are all super excited about that. Her stomach feels good so far and all is good. They told us that her counts would drop after a couple of weeks so hopefully we can get through that without an infection and just plug away. Please pray that she has no big side effects and gets through this easily. She so deserves a break. She has had some rough times and some big side effects. Please pray ~ No fevers. Fevers mean hospital stays and we have had enough of those. If all goes well, and it will, then 57 days is complete on December 14th. Sometimes during the phases if your counts are too low they hold the next chemo until they come up so we have to pray she stays on track and it will be a MERRY CHRISTMAS at the Erwin house.Sharon Erwinhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15883215865911416245noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7107279832286610391.post-87925432515730120592009-10-14T19:59:00.000-07:002009-10-14T20:09:57.988-07:00No News is Good News!Sorry it has been so long since my last post. We have had a wonderful couple of weeks. Natalie has felt great. We increased her physical therapy to three times a week and you can sure see improvement in her walking. We are anxious, and nervous, and excited, all rolled up into one for the phase to start on Monday. This phase will last 57 days and believe me there will be a countdown chart hanging in the Erwin house. We are so ready to be told...."Natalie is now on Maintenance." Can't wait for that. They say life should feel pretty normal then. Hair grows back, feel good, back to school, normal stuff. SOOO EXCITED! This has been a long journey but we can now see light at the end of this horrific tunnel and it feels good. We trust God to see us through and are excited to see what is next for us. It has got to be good, right? Thanks for praying and we ask that you pray now for October 19th to go smoothly and the following 57 days. We ask for Natalie to have little or NO complications or sickness. She gets a spinal on Monday and starts all the new meds. We pray that that goes smoothly and Natalie comes out smiling! Thank you so much for your faithfulness. We couldn't get through this without you all.<br />Love the ErwinsSharon Erwinhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15883215865911416245noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7107279832286610391.post-27989921658730712502009-09-30T09:00:00.000-07:002009-09-30T09:24:27.527-07:00Oh What a Relief!This past week as been so great. Natalie has been feeling really good and we are so glad. She even had chemo last week and she has it again tomorrow but she has been feeling great. She soooo badly needed this. We all did. We are wrapping up this phase and we will be starting the final phase soon. Final before maintenance that is. We still have two years of maintenance left. Thank God that is only once a month and they say you go back to normal life as you knew it and it doesn't really effect your everyday living. We are ready for that! The phase we are getting ready to start is called "delayed intensification". It is similar to the first month of treatment. They hit you pretty heavy so it is supposed to be one of the harder phases. We will just wait and see because so far the phases that were supposed to be easy have been terrible so we are hopeful that the hard phase is going to be easy. Nat handled the first month really well, the only reason we were in the hospital for most of it was her pick line kept getting infected. If we can stay away from infections in her port, hopefully she can sail right through. <br />We met with her school yesterday and got "homebound" set up. We are going to do that until after Christmas break. That will get her through the next phase and lighten her load. We are hoping after break she will be good to go back to school and start living her normal life again. So, if you will, please pray things keep going great like they have been for the past week and that we get through this next phase with flying colors. No fevers, no nausea, feet get better, smiles stay bright and life will be good. Thank you all so much.Sharon Erwinhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15883215865911416245noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7107279832286610391.post-26846441956839865002009-09-22T19:12:00.000-07:002009-09-22T19:25:09.836-07:00HOME SWEET HOME!We finally got to come home today and I can't begin to tell you how happy we are. Being there for almost two weeks is way to long. <br />They did an ultrasound on Natalie's stomach to make sure all is well there and thank God it is. Her pancreas is irritated from one of the chemos but it should get better within the next 4 - 5 days. She hadn't eaten much for over a week so introducing food to her system again is rough on your organs. We just have to watch what she eats and take it slow. We had to promise the nutritionist at the hospital that we would give her two Jamba Juices a day for the next few days so we know she is at least getting 600 calories just from those. We go back to the doctor on Friday for a check up and are hopeful all counts will be normal again and we can move forward and GET THIS OVER WITH!Sharon Erwinhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15883215865911416245noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7107279832286610391.post-53259116821381247632009-09-18T15:12:00.000-07:002009-09-18T15:19:33.485-07:00INSTANT REPLAYWe are back in the hospital less then 48 hours later. Pour Natalie had a horrible day yesterday and couldn't keep anything to eat or drink down. We brought her in this morning and she already got a bunch of hydration and they are going to have a GI doctor check her out and see if there is anything else going on in her stomach. She looked like she felt and that was horrible. It is so hard to watch. <br />We are asking that you pray for the following:<br />1. Natalie feels better quickly <br />2. The GI doctor doesn't find anything serious and whatever it is that it is treatable fast and easy.<br />3. That she gets an appetite (she has lost way to much weight)<br />4. That God keeps her spirits high <br />5. Strength for her parents. <br />Thank you all so much and I will keep you posted.Sharon Erwinhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15883215865911416245noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7107279832286610391.post-67054778312392595672009-09-16T19:46:00.000-07:002009-09-16T19:51:45.915-07:00PRAISE THE LORD FOR HE IS GOOD!Happy to report, we are home. Natalie woke up today feeling much better and the doctor shocked us when he said we could go home today. Needless to say, we were thrilled. Now we just need to make sure Nat drinks and eats enough at home. SO...please pray for me and Gene. She gets a little irritated with us when we harp on her about eating and drinking. :-) We go back to the doctor for a count check on Friday and then boom right back at it. Monday she gets a spinal tap and more chemo. UGH! On the bright side, less delays mean the sooner this will be behind us. Thanks for praying! We love you!Sharon Erwinhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15883215865911416245noreply@blogger.com0
