I have watched friends go through abortions. I have and will always be there for them. I don't believe their decision is a good one but understand the fear of an unwanted, unplanned pregnancy. Do I support the choice? No. But if I abandon my friends because of a choice they made then I was never really a true friend. Please, know that there is help for this fear... there are options... they may be difficult options, but they wont come back to haunt you the same way is taking a life away. My friends who went through this have come to regret their decision made in the moment's of fear... and I still support them. I will cry with them, talk with them and pray with them. I will support their needs in a healthy, Godly, loving way.

But I have been thinking...

I have been following a young girl's story who had cancer... Kennedy is beautiful, strong and worth believing in and fighting for. Many of you support my sister Christine (aka Spazzz) and her fight for her life, you followed her story of breast cancer and the life that followed. What makes us support these people? Why honor their cause? So many of us "click for the cause" on the Breast Cancer Site but why? I believe this is because we see their faces, we have heard their challenges, we have gotten to know them as individuals who we think deserve a chance... Why is it we fight for life when someone has cancer but we don't fight for life when someone who hasn't even had the chance to take a breath is going to be killed?

I believe we have it all wrong... we shouldn't be choosing to save the face but instead the spirit. These aborted babies may not have a fully developed face, but I believe they have a fully developed spirit. I believe they deserve the same chance.

Do I believe that this petition will change things? I don't know... but if I don't try then I am just part of the problem... I would be the one who claims to believe but doesn't fight. If I'm not willing to fight, then what good are my beliefs?

Who is Jack Schitt? The lineage is finally revealed! Many people are at a loss for a response when someone says: "You don't know Jack Schitt."
Now you can intellectually handle the situation:

Jack is the only son of Awe Schitt. Awe Schitt, the fertilizer magnate, married O. Schitt, the owner of Needeep N. Schitt.
They had one son, Jack. In turn, Jack Schitt married Noe Schitt. The Deeply religious couple produced six children: Holie Schitt, Fulla Schitt, Giva Schitt, Bull Schitt, and the twins Deap Schitt and Dip Schitt.
Against her parents objection, Deap Schitt married Dumb Schitt, a high school dropout.
After being married for 15 years, Jack and Noe Schitt divorced.
Noe Schitt later remarried Ted Sherlock and, because her kids were still living with them, she wanted to keep her previous name. She was then known as Noe Shitt Sherlock.

Meanwhile, Dip Schitt married Loda Schitt and they produced a son of nervous disposition, Chicken Schitt.

Two of the other six children, Fulla Schitt and Giva Schitt, were inseparable throughout childhood and subsequently married the Happens brothers in a dual ceremony.
The wedding announcement in the newspaper announced the Schitt-Happens Wedding.
The Schitt-Happens children were Daawg, Byrd, Hoarse and Bull.
Bull Schitt, the prodigal son, left home to tour the world. He recently returned from Italy with his new Italian bride, Pisa Schitt.

So now when someone says "You don't know Jack Schitt", You can correct them!

Coleman's journey began Sept. 21, 2006. He and his twin brother Caden were 2 and 1/2 years old. No family ever forgets that horrible day of diagnosis and the indescribable fear it brings crashing into your life. The world you knew is a thing of the past. Everything seems to be crumbling around you. We wanted yesterday back- 10 minutes before back...but the door had been opened and there was no closing it again. Little did we know how MUCH it would change our family, but in many ways for the better. 

Coleman had begun displaying signs of dizziness. He would grab onto things for balance, sit down while going down steps, had a few tumbles here and there.  He was complaining of neck pain and would sit and hold his head. We thought maybe an inner ear infection. Our pediatrician was more concerned and ordered an MRI. Scott and I were called into the doctor office immediately following the scan. I told him as we walked through the door..."I hope our lives are not about to be changed forever."  Little did we know how changed we would be.  The news was devestating, the word tumor cut like a knife right through our hearts.  We were told to go home, pack and get to the University of Iowa Hospital (3 hrs away) where they were waiting for us. 

Things were set into motion for this new life we were about to embark on.  Coleman had a tumor the size of a tangerine embedded in his cerebellum. It was removed 5 days later and the word MEDULLOBLASTOMA became a regular part of our vocabulary. Surgery for a port was ahead and Soon saline, heprin, blood counts, transfusion, were all words our two year olds added to their vocab too.  Coleman completed a year of chemo, with very little side effects. Exactly one year to the date of diagnosis we went in for our 12th chemo stay with a routine MRI. This was relapse day, and if we thought we had fear the year before, relapse makes that seem small. Two tumors were growing in the same spot as the other, with cancer cells also in the spinal fluid.

Chemo was stopped and we went straight to radiation. Coleman did 7 wks of radiation with no sedation. Caden was there every day to talk to him over the loud speaker during his treatments. They turned it into one big party and actually LOVED going each day.

The tumors responded but had not disappeared. The doctors recommended a stem cell transplant. A central line was placed and in Feb. of '08 Coleman's own cells were harvested and frozen. He received his transplant on St. Patricks Day and spent 28 days inpatient recovering.

There is STILL one spot the doctors are monitoring closely. 
*** Update as of 8/08 Coleman relapsed 4 months after stem cell transplant with 7 small tumors found in his spine and positive spinal fluid...after much research, the Larson's have traveled to Sloan Kettering in New York to persue further treatment for Coleman.

Caden has been the medicine no doctor could prescribe. The bond the two of them share along with our amazing family and friends, our community and faith in God has gotten us through a time we wondered how we could ever get through. Cancer has changed us, we appreciate the small things in life and cherish the friendships we've made. We live each day to the fullest and don't sweat the small things we once did. Coleman has taught us all that ATTITUDE and FAITH can make a big difference in how you choose to deal with cancer. HE has taught us the true meaning of determination.  Cancer takes away so much, but it can't take away the amazing spirit Coleman has displayed each and every chapter of his journey.

Coleman says, "some day I won't need NO more meds or pokes, wight mommy? THEN I tan be NO-MAL!" Amen to that, but I don't think this kid will ever be described as NORMAL, he's way too special for that!  He and Caden are now 4yrs old, and will start preschool in the fall.

Coleman's cancer has continued to spread...Please, pray.
