This time, this day, last year, 10 Dec 2007 - Deqlan had just come out of surgery to remove the remainder of the tumor, close to his adrenal gland - it was a two and a half hour wait that felt like forever, but relief to see Prof Beale come out the theatre telling us everything went well- even though he found a lot more to undo then he originally thought.
I thank Our Lord that what was left was ganglioneuroma, all dead cells . I thank You Lord that Deqlan recovered so well, thank you for the amazing job Prof Beale and Dr Welsh did , they will forever remain in our prayers and thanks, along with Dr De Jager - thank You Lord that today is another mark of Deqlan being a 1 year post chemo, residual tumor removal survivor!
Thank you to you all for always checking in on us and most importantly for your continued prayers for Deqlan, may they never ever ever end.
Please Dear Lord Jesus, have mercy on Deqlan and continue to keep him NED forever and ever and ever. Please lead all our warriors around the world to NED to.
God Bless you all, thanks and hugs for our soldier Deqlan and his very very proud parents
Mark, Samm, Deqlan
BE STILL AND KNOW THAT I AM GOD

To Our Precious Darling Deqlan,
Today is truly a day of thanksgiving to our Great God, since it was exactly one year ago today, that He, himself, used as His earth instruments Prof. Beale, Dr. Welsh, the nursing staff at Morningside and of course, Dr de Jager to ensure your residual tumour removal went exactly according to His plan.
Our Healing Saviour, THANK YOU, THANK YOU that Prof Beale could remove all but the slighest remnants of the "dead" tumour. THANK YOU that through Prof Beales expertise, he was able to prevent further complications that could have arisen due to parts of the tumour being tightly wrapped around Deqlan's renal artery. THANK YOU that YOU guided the right decision for Samm and Mark to have the tumour removed as the renal artery strangulation would not otherwise have been discovered. THANK YOU that the histology report confirmed "ganglioneuroma tissue" as this was our sign that the chemotherapy had done its job properly and had worked on Your authority. THANK YOU that Deqlan's complete recovery from this surgery was so unproblematic and just routine, even down to mild pain levels. THANK YOU that You were with Samm and Deqlan every single second in that ward during his post-operative period.
Deqlan, our precious hero, you are an inspiration to us; we have learnt some of our most valuable lessons in life at your little feet. We are so honoured to be your grandparents. Mommy Samm, the way you have faced your challenges with courage, love, devotion, faith, hope, determination, with such grace and dignity, makes and will continue to make us so very humble and so very proud to be your parents. Daddy Mark, your steadfast faith, hope, love, courage and support contributed greatly to the overall positive result in every way as you are Deqlan's hero !
Lord, You have blessed us with the greatest gift - Deqlan's NED status. It is and will forever remain our humble and heartfelt prayer that YOU will ensure that Deqlan will remain NED for the rest of his very, very, long and happy life as the little hero and huge inspiration and fountain of love, faith and hope that he is.
God bless Samm, Mark, Deqlan and Logan all the days of their lives.
Know that we could NOT love you more.
All our love,
Nanna and Grandpa
Mom/Bev and Dee
How far your little soldier has come, in such a short amount of time. Thank you for sharing precious Deqlan with the rest of us-I know my life has been touched and made better by seeing his battle against NB, and just by watching him enjoy life-made possible through your words and pictures Samm. What a great mom you are!
