Have you ever had the realization that certain challenges in your life prepared you for a bigger challenge? This has been a difficult week for my family, but in the midst of all the pain and confusion I had the realization that some of my struggles over the years have prepared me for this ultimate… Read more »

Hi Friends, Thank you for all of your prayers and thoughts!  I truly believe they have brought us strength and courage.  Ever since Andrew got out of the hospital a couple of weeks ago he has been quickly getting better!  He is on oxygen, but is slowly using it less and less.  He is writing… Read more »

It’s been a wonderful couple of weeks.  I went home to Dallas to meet adorable baby Brooks (my cousin’s 4 month old little boy), visit my grandmother in her new nursing home and spend quality time with my family and friends.  Going through everything we’ve gone through over the last year has made me so… Read more »

Last week was a breath of fresh air.  My sweet dad came in from Dallas to drive Andrew to M.D. Anderson pretty much the entire week.  This gave Ellie a normal schedule and me some alone time to get rejuvenated.  When I was little I would play Barbie’s most of the day with friends and… Read more »

I’m just gonna lay it all out there. This past week really sucked. Maybe it’s just as true to say that my attitude about last week really sucked. Once I heard the doctor tell Andrew he had another tumor in his brain and we had to start whole brain radiation for the next twelve days… Read more »

Hi There! Whew, things have been pretty cray cray for the Heards this past week.  Which is really nothing new.  I feel like I tell you this every week.  We thought we had a week off from chemo so we planned a trip to Dallas for Andrew to come speak at Liberty Christian School (my… Read more »

Hello Dear Friend, You may have already heard the good news, but in case you haven’t here it goes.  Gamma Knife worked!!  Andrew went from 12 tumors in his brain to 1 (which we believe is still shrinking).  Having this surgery work could possibly give Andrew way more time!  The spirit and energy around our… Read more »

Hi Friends! I’ve missed telling you stories about my crazy life J   I’ve been out of cyber world for a couple of weeks for good reason.  I’ve been enjoying a NORMAL (somewhat) life with my family!  I haven’t been this happy in a long time.  We had three weeks away from M.D. Anderson while… Read more »

Holy Moly! I seriously don’t even know where to begin.  I’ve spent a few days rolling around ideas in my head of how to express my full gratitude to the amazing community of Cuero, TX (aka fighting gobblers) and everyone who helped and participated in the benefit this weekend.  I’ve come to the conclusion that… Read more »
