It turns out Daxter didn't end up needing his PICC line replaced and as it is working fine and Daxter was doing much better....Ben, Bailey and Daxter packed up and headed back home. As of yesterday, Daxter is now home once again. They are glad to be home again because its more relaxed and they can sleep in their own bed. As Daxter's WBC begins to climb back over the next few weeks, they are turning their attention to their first visit to Sloan-Kettering in NY. Daxter is doing very well and I am sure that God's hand is just surrounding him because he is just handling everything so well!
In the meantime.... I am working on several things at once to continue our fundraising efforts.
1) A variety show/concert sometime in Jan
2) donation cans will go up around Wellington sometime after Thanksgiving
3) If anyone knows a way or a place who would be willing to donate internet service to the Rosewicz's home so they can post and email the doctors at SK hospital please email me ASAP
Thank you all for your prayers and if you wish to or can help with anything as far as fund-raising or even if you have some ideas....please email me at Katcdh@yahoo.com
Don't forget the donate button on the sidebar! Its sooooo easy to donate that way! :)
In him,
Kristin
Be strong and take heart, all who hope in the Lord.

Eccoli
Daxter has Eccoli again. This is the infection that kept in the hospital this weekend. However this time the infection is in his PIC line and so it needs to be replaced. In order to do this, because its minor surgery Daxter's White Blood cell count must be back up. As it just hit bottom because of the chemo treatment he received, it means that Daxter will be in the hospital for several more days so that his WBC can go back up and they can replace his PIC line. Once this is done and he is released again, it is looking like they will head to Sloan-Kettering in NY. Please keep Daxter in his prayers as he fights this infection.

A hospital stay
Just a quick update, Ben, Bailey and Daxter got checked into Wesley hospital yesterday. He started running a fever and needed a blood transfusion so they admitted him to monitor the fever and so he could receive the blood transfusion. They had planned to be dismissed last night late, but sadly Daxter has another infection. So, Daxter will be in the hospital through the weekend to be monitored during his infection. He is eating well, and his stats are good but please continue to keep Daxter in your prayers.
In him,
Kristin

Now you can donate online!
Thanks to a suggestion, we have activated a pay pal donation link where you can make donations to Daxter and his family right here online using a credit card or a pay pal account. So if you've wanted to donate but haven't quite got that check in the mail, now's the time!
another note, I am working on getting Ben and Bailey a way to post to the blog from home, so hopefully they can post more!

JOY only the Lord can Bring
Kristin Here:
Ben and Bailey WILL post later today for those who want to hear from them.
However first I want to share something with you all. Through my work with Bailey, Ben and Daxter as well as the rest of their family, I have cried many tears. Tears with them as the reality of Daxter's condition sank in, tears as they started a difficult journey fighting this Cancer, tears of sadness when Daxter got so sick, tears of joy when he got better. I have also cried many tears on my own for so many reasons I can't even list them. I cried tears of joy when we counted the money after the dinner, and cried tears of joy with Debbie when we revealed the amount to her. I cried all the way back to Wichita that night because I was just simply Amazed by the love and support of hundreds of people that day. However, most of all I cried tears of Joy, of thankfulness because I serve a Mighty God, a God who loves me, and who loves this family. I cried because I had Joy that only the Lord can bring.
This week, I had another moment where I was simply overwhelmed with tears. They were not tears of sadness but tears of Joy. A moment of pure joy, joy in the Lord. A moment of thankfulness that brings you to your knees. I then had the oppurtunity to share this moment with Ben and Bailey and join with them in the tears and joy of the Lord. Let me explain what happened:
Since the beginning, I have done countless hours of research online and on the phone looking for support for this family. When they started talking Sloan-Kettering, I knew we were facing a HUGE challenge fiancially to get them there. I prayed and asked God to make a way because if Daxter needed to be in NY for treatment, then that is where he would go no matter what. My research led me to several foundations that I will be talking about over the next few weeks.
However, this moment of Joy was brought to me and the Rosewics's by a foundation that I would like to introduce to you:
Meet Devin Laubi:
Devin was born to Andrew and Robin Laubi on August 23, 1996, a perfectly healthy baby boy. He lived his whole life in the small town of Westport, MA. His community and family enjoyed watching hi grow, learn and explore his new world. Deven emulated his big brother Reid, especially in sports, which he excelled in at an early age. Devin's energetic, adventurous, playful nature endeared him to everyone. Being smart, funny, precocious...yet innocent, kept everyone entertained. HIs younger sister, Audra adored him, always wanting to be by his side, the best of friends. Devin was diagnosed on Valentine's day, 2003, at six years old with an agressive brain tumor, called medulloblastoma. The family was initially told his survival rate was 70%, which ocntinued to plummet to 40%, 25% then 3%. Unfortunately 3% was accurate. Devin slipped into a coma on Easter and succumbed to his disease on April 24, 2003.
People were very generous during his battle with this disease. Trying to put a smile on a child's face, if only for a moment to let him forget his intense pain. He would ask why people were giving him so many things. His family would explain that they just wanted Devin to be happy. One day, Devin replied that he wished he had something to give back to all these people, so here is....
his foundation....
Devin Laubi Foundation was establesed in 2004 to honor the memory of Devin. In his own, words he wished he had something to give back. Giving back to those that suffer especially children, seemed to be the best gift he or his parents could offer. There are too many large organizations strictly benefiting research, his parents wanted to directly benefit fmilies of childrne suffering through cancer treatments offered in this country.
My moment of Joy in the Lord, and the moment of joy I shared with Ben and Bailey occured when I opened a simple white envelope containing a letter, the information I shared with you today, and a check for Ben and Bailey and the praying for Daxter fund. I cried tears of joy because that check was substantial enough to get Ben and Bailey to New York by airline!
I didn't cry because of the money though, I didn't cry because they would be able to go to NY, I cried simply because I was AMAZED by the love of the Lord. I prayed and asked God to help get Ben and Bailey to NY and he answerd my prayers with one little envelope. I cried because of the generous, loving, kind, compassionate parents of a little boy that I will remember for the rest of my life, a little boy named Devin. I cried for the loss of such a sweet little boy and for his parents. I was brought to my knees the day I opened that letter, and through my tears I praised God and thanked him. The joy I felt that day, is only Joy that can be felt in the LORD.
Even more so...it was a moment that Ben and Bailey could see first hand the power of the Lord, and the hope they can continue to have in him.
So to you, Robin Laubi and to you Andrew Laubi, I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart for "giving back" to Daxter and his family. I can begin to describe the impact you have had on this family. From Ben, Bailey, Daxter and myself, we can't thank you enough for loving them so much. We can't thank you enough for taking such a devastating time in your own lives and turning it around so that Daxter can get to NY for treatment. The joy you brought to myself and this family through this support, can only be described as Joy the Lord Brings.
Robin, Adrew, Reid and Audra and the rest of Devins' family, we want you to know that you will be in our prayers and your foundation will be in our prayers daily. We know God will bless you all deeply through your work.
So, tears of joy in the Lord this week! Yes, this doesn't cover everything Ben, Bailey and Daxter will need and we will still have to keep working at fundraising but the gift from Devin, has dramatically changed the picture of NY for the Rosewicz family and for that we are grateful to the Laubi's and to the Lord.

End of Round Two
Kristin Here:
Daxter has finished the end of round two of chemo. The next few weeks are going to be difficult as Daxter's White Blood Cell Count drops to 0 again. However, we know that his WBC count will go back up again and good days will return. Please keep Daxter and his family in prayers during the next few weeks.
Keep the Faith in the Lord....
In Him Always,

Ding Ding Round Two
Kristin here:
It may be me posting for awhile because Daxter was released on Monday to go home and they don't have internet at home so they will only be able to post occasionally for a little while.
Daxter was sent home on Monday, and had scans Tuesday and Wednesday at the hospital but there are no results yet from those scans. Today round two of Chemo was started in Dr. Rosen's office and will be done all day for the next three days. So, the no visit rule is back in enforcement. After this round and chemo and his White Blood Cell count goes back up, it is looking like Daxter will be flying to new york with his parents for an evaluation at Sloan Kettering hospital which is the leading Nueroblastoma cancer hospital in the world.
Daxter is doing very well and Ben and Bailey are enjoying being home in their own bed.
In Him Always,
Kristin
PS. Please don't forget that we are still selling Praying for Daxter Bracelets!

We need YOUR HELP!
Kristin here:
I am sure most of you have heard by now that the fundraiser for Daxter and his family was a HUGE Success. We raised so much support for this family! I had tears on my way home because I was just so thankful to a mighty God for blessing the dinner and for allowing it to be such a great thing. I wanted to mention a few things, first to clarify the KAKE news article. I was not, am not a stranger to the Rosewicz's. I attend their church and have know them for awhile now. What I really said was "I didn't really know them that well OUTSIDE church before this happened." I also talked a great deal about God, and gave all the credit to him but sadly news stations often edit out talk about church and God. I wanted to clarify this simply because ALL the credit goes to God, and only God. I am sooo thankful for a mighty God who loves us so much! The success of the dinner was due to a large number of people, including Karra Atkerson, Dixie Pennigton, Suzie Arnold, Charlotte Brooks, Kim Mraz, Vickie Johnson, Jennifer Templeton and SO MANY others! It is also due to the community of Wellington and the generous loving business owners who donated to the dinner. Most importantly however, all of us Thank God for the success and Thank You for your support of this family
Next, just because the dinner is over doesn' t mean we are stopping fundraising for this family. Bracelets are still being sold around Wellington and we are in the process of developing more benefits for them. This is where we need YOUR help!
We are wanting to put on a benefit Christian concert for this family and we need artists who are willing to be a part of that. So, we are asking if you know, can contact, can ask, are a Christian band and are willing to reach out and help this family PLEASE contact me. If you know a band, send them a message. If you are a band, please pray about helping this family with a concert. If you have bands on your facebook reach out to them and tell them about Daxter and ask them to help. God will work it out but we need your help in getting the word out and finding bands who will be apart of it. It would be AMAZING if we had to have the concert in Wichita because we outgrow a venue in Wellington. So please help us by spreading the word!
Remember...in an attempt to honor and Glorify God is everything we do, we are only looking for Christian bands!
You can email me at Katcdh@yahoo.com!
Bailey and Ben most likely will post an update later today on Daxter.

Less then 10 minutes-
Less then ten minutes after I posted about Bailey and Ben's internet connection issues I recieved a text from Bailey saying they have moved Daxter BACK to the PICU (he had moved Saturday back to the reg peds floor because he was doing so well). He has been moved back to PICU because his cold has gotten serious and his heartbeat is in what is called Tachyardia or in other words it is beating WAY too fast. Please pray for Daxter tonight, as he fights this cold with very little immune system because of the chemo.
We know that God is the best immune system there is, so we keep faith and hold on to the hand of God that Daxter will fight this cold off and be just fine.
I will continue to update as much as I can through the next twenty four hours if they continue to have internet connection issues

Just a note
Hey, Kristin here.
I know you want to hear from Ben and Bailey but their internet at the hospital isn't working the best right now. I just wanted you to know that they haven't been posting because of the internet problem nothing else. I will try to have them write out their updates and I will post them.
Daxter is doing well and still fighting strong.
In him,
Kristin

I want to take a moment to thank you all from the bottom of my heart for loving, and supporting this family so much. I have gotten the sweetest, most loving emails from people all over the world to pass to Bailey and Ben. I can't begin to describe the affect and support you are giving to them. I see their faces light up when I share what you are all are doing and saying. They are so thankful and so humbled by every one's love and support for this family. All the facebook messages, comments on this blog, emails being sent to me (that i pass to them), and prayers have truly touched their hearts in such as deep way. They need the encouragement and I am just sooooo thankful for each and everyone of you because I see daily how YOU are making a difference in their lives through this hard time.

So, from me personally, and I know from Ben, Bailey, Daxter, Grandma's and everyone one of their family, THANK YOU! The Lord is working in amazing ways.

My Prayer
Father in Heaven, Thank you for this day and thank you for the many blessings. I pray now for Daxter, Bailey, Ben, Debbie and all their family. Daxter is starting chemo now, and I have comfort in the fact that you know this, and you know the outcome. I pray for your hand to be on Daxter and his family through this difficult time. Give them the strength and peace they need as they start this process. The Bible says that I can put my faith in you and trust in you with all my heart and I shall do that. I ask that you guide and give wisdom to Daxter's doctors, nurses and hospital staff as they begin to fight this cancer. Be with Daxter as he starts this process and Lord, I know you will will be done. I ask you in your son's name to heal baby Daxter fully from this cancer. Take it from his body and let it not return. I ask for prayer for all the thousands of people praying for Daxter right now, and over the last few days. I pray that as they walk this road with Daxter and his family, that they may be blessed in their own lives. I ask that you give strength to those that are struggling with this and I pray that this will bring those that do not know you, to accept your son Jesus Christ as their personal savior. I ask for strength Lord so I can continue to do what you shall have me do to suupport this family in their time of need. Lord, I ask all this in the name of you son Jesus Christ.
Amen
Trust in the LORD with all your heart
and lean not on your own understanding;
2 The LORD is my rock, my fortress and my deliverer;
my God is my rock, in whom I take refuge.
He is my shield and the horn [a] of my salvation, my stronghold.
Amen
Trust in the LORD with all your heart

25 Worship the LORD your God, and his blessing will be on your food and water. I will take away sickness from among you,Psalm 18:2
2 The LORD is my rock, my fortress and my deliverer;
my God is my rock, in whom I take refuge.
He is my shield and the horn [a] of my salvation, my stronghold.

Just some quick Notes
Hey everyone, its Kristin writing. I will write from time to time when Bailey and Ben need to get out updates and can't write or I want to share fundraiser information. For those of you who don't know, I am visiting them twice a day and trying to meet their needs so they only have to concentrate on Daxter. I am also answering questions, heading fundraising stuff, and updating you when they can't.
Bailey and I talked just a bit ago on the phone and she asked me to post a few things.:
1.) That starting tomorrow morning, they are asking for no visitors in the room with Daxter. He will start chemo tomorrow and they want to minimize his exposure to any outside illness. Visitors are welcome to go to the hospital and see the family and Ben and Bailey will be ocassionally coming out to talk. They just are asking for the next 48 -72 hours that no one visits Daxter. I am sure you will understand how important this is. I will not even be going into Daxter's room as of tomorrow and will do my visits in the waiting room. Thank you for your visits and love.
2) Daxter's eye has stopped dialating and they believe the tumor behind his nerve has grown into the optical nerve area. They will be seeing a eye specialist sometime today about the possibility of removing the tumor because of this. They are asking for specific prayers for this situation.
Praises:
1) Daxter is off morphine
2) They did not have to sedate him like orginally thought
3)That he is under 1 because this cancer is better treated under 1 year
4) For all the love and support they've gotten
Prayers:
1) Daxter's electrolytes/sodium levels
2) Guidance for the doctor's on the eye tumor
3) chemo preperation
Lastly, I wanted to share because I have gotten so many emails and messages on facebook asking. Yes, we are gearing up to do some fundraisers for the family. We are in the process of accessing their needs and organizing ourselves to better meet their needs. We have many ideas and will be sharing that information shortly. Please send all donations to the sidebar addresses. Baily, Ben, Daxter, and their family as well as myself and all the members of First Freewill Baptist Church of Wellington thank you all for you love and support of this precious family.
All questions, concerns, comments, ideas, etc. can be left here or can be emailed to me at Katcdh@yahoo.com
Thank you all for your overwhelming response on facebook and this blog. Please continue to pray and spread the word. We have faith in the Lord, our God who knows Daxter better then any of us.
In Him Always,
Kristin
