Dear friends,
Well it is currently 10 pm Wed. night and I am about to start my 5 night treatment for rejection. I have been surprisingly positive today. I thought today would be one of the hardest days for me but God has sustained me through distractions such as getting to see my little Wyatt this evening for the first time in 5 days. I fed him sweet potatoes, and tonight was the first time he said "DADA" in front of all of us. It felt so good not to miss out on a special moment like that. Being away from Wyatt has been harder on Brian and I than we realized cause we can now see that he misses us. But I have a Goal everyone....5 nights of intense treatment and then it looks like possibly home sweet home. Pray for us to get through this next 5 nights and 5days. They say there could be a lot of flu like symptoms so they have given me Tylenol, and Benedryl 30 min before my treatment just to help... but then again most people get through it just fine. So i guess we shall see. I feel so close to each one of you its almost strange, hearing from so many of you I have not seen or heard from in years. But just knowing you are there and you are praying is doing more than you could ever realize for me and my whole family... So remember I am shooting for being home for Christmas. That's one of our prayer goals ok, well I gotta start the treatment. I love all of you and your comments are still holding me up so please continue.
I Love all of you,
Bethani Roam
PS. Sis. "P" Please don't stop doing what your doing for me.

Good to hear the hope in your words. Still praying...God's will, will be done. I am thankful that we can know that.
Keep faith and we'll keep praying for you all.

How wonderful to read a note by you, Bethani! Tonight at church we had focused prayer for you, and some people came up afterwards and told me that they wanted to continue praying for you so they want me to keep them updated. So just know that there are numerous people here in Hawaii that are bombarding Heaven on your behalf! Love you...SoShawna Gray
Dear Bethani,
I will pray specifically that you complete this treatment with minimal side effects, and get to go HOME for Christmas with your guys.
Thanks so much for the update. Hang in there - this too shall pass.

Bethani and Brian,
It is so good to hear from you. Keep being brave, and get yourselves home for Christmas!
May God put a hedge around you like He did Job. And may He take joy and pride in your strength, faith, and courage at a time when it matters most.
Merry Christmas!
Bonnie
Bethani - I am glad you had a "positive" day in spite of yucky treatment. We are continuing to pray for you and hope you do get to go home for Christmas. Since Christmas is so close, we will let Santa know that he needs to check the hospital if you aren't home. Either way, Santa won't forget you. You said it is a five day treatment. Does this mean you will finish the regimen Sunday or Monday? I hope the nausea subsides, the treatment is successful, and you have a blessed Christmas with your little man Wyatt. You and Brian deserve the best. I love you!
P.S. If you feel up to it, the next time you are online click on my name and you can see new pics of my kids at my blog. www.janaallard.blogspot.com Maybe it will keep your mind distracted from the treatment and its side effects. I pray the side effects are minimal or none at all.
We love all of you and are holding you close to our hearts in prayer.

Hi Bethani,
I just wanted to check in and let you know that our family and our church is still praying for you. I love you very much and miss you! Ive wanted to post on here and let you know Im thinking of you but Ive been going through my own little trial with Kyla being sick and havent had a second. So the minute I got some free time I decided to sit down and send you a note to let you know I love you and Im praying for you constantly. Like Ive said before we've seen God's healing power in Kyla's life several times and so I know first hand that he can and will do it for you. Im glad you got to spend some time with Wyatt today. That's one lucky little guy to have parents as awesome as you and Brian. We love you guys! Can't wait to see you!

Dear Bethani,
I couldn't sleep. So much on my mind I guess. You're one of those important thoughts!! I think and pray for you through out the day. My heart leaped when I opened your blog and saw a message from you . Thank you sweetie for sharing with us. I know all of us that are reading your blog will pray for your return home for Christmas. Stay strong! "He wouldn't take us this far to leave us!" I love those good ole' faithful songs some are referring to. All the scriptures, poems, songs, and words from the heart tell us how many poeple care and love you and your family. Your special Bethani!!
Love and Hugs!!

howdy from TX sis Bethani,
Gods going to be with you every step of the way! You hang in there you little trooper. You will be home in no time...being a sweet wifey and mommy to your guys. Just know we love you and keep you in our thoughts and prayers each and everyday. You and your family mean the world to us. Honey I'm so sorry you have to suffer with this sickness, and if I could I would take the place for you. You've always been such a sweetie to me. Love you sweetie.

He Sis. Bethani,
I am praying that you have a good, restful night in spite of the meds. I am thanking God for bringing you this far and for the hope that we have for tomorrow! I know that God is right there with all of you, blessing you all inspite of the way things appear. Just want you to know that my love and prayers are with you. ~ J
Good morning, Bethani
Not only is it wonderful when God miraculously heals a body, but that He gives man the knowledge and skills to help someone through such a situation as yours is a distinct blessing. The gifts and intellect your doctors possess is only because of God's love for humanity.
We're still praying for you here in Lake Havasu, and several times a day I check the internet to see if there is an update.
I love your mom and dad and pray God's strength for them also...and of course for your husband. Little Wyatt? Sounds as though he's in good hands, and he won't remember a thing about this time of being separated from his parents.
Bless all of you.
Shirley Buxton
Bethani,
A post from you is such a treat! I could hear your voice as I read your words. May God bless and keep you.
Much love,
Jill
Bethani:

Bethani,
Seeing you and your little one at Camp Meeting was so nice. When this happened, you have been on my mind every day. We have prayed for you and your family and I know that God is with you during this difficult time.
Keep smiling and remember that you are loved by many.
Love Ruthie Amundson (Baglin)
Wassup!! It is dumping like crazy here in Tahoe, Tressy and I took the day off. You can't work on a ski/powder day. I believe there's scripture for that somewhere. Anyway, we know you will be home for Christmas, it's where you belong! We love you guys and are praying for you daily.

Sweet sweet Bethani: You are such a trooper. Our prayers are reaching heaven for sure. Oh...and WOW !!!! I felt the spirit of God when I read Sis. P's prayer for you and the family. What a dynamite prayer. It's right on target. That is my prayer for you all too. So sweetie...go into those treatments with knowing God has his arms wrapped around you.
I'm so very happy about little Wyatt showing off in front of you all...Dada !!! And what sweet words that is...our Dada (Father) in heaven is watching over you. And he cares about you just like you care about little Wyatt. We love and take care of our children and that is how God feels about us. Call His sweet name..JESUS..just like our children call to us when they need us. Jesus loves it that you are calling to Him and depending on Him. He wants to show His power in all this. He has and will do more. There will be sweet Victory soon. I'm praying that you will get your wish of being home for Christmas. I love you and your sweet family. It was so good to read something from you. Keep on keeping on. Luv u bunches.

Brian & Beth,
We love you guys and are praying daily. Our church has been constantly praying for you and we are believing for some great miracles.
Love you all
Darin & Duana Sargent
Bethani and Bryan,
I have never met you, but wanted you to know that I have been greatly touched by your situation. Our church has held you up in prayer, and I will continue to hold you up in prayer. Just remember His eye is on the sparrow and I know He's watching over you.
God bless you,
Monica and Sam Hassas
Bethani & Brian
We will never really understand or grasp some of the happens in our lives until we reach that eternal city.
There are two portions of David in or from the Psalms. One is, “Oh Lord bow down tine ear, for I am poor and needy.” The second is a conformation that The Lord did, bow down His ear to David, “This poor man cried out and the Lord heard.” Our wonderful God is hearing your prayers and he will respond to our request of Him.
You are in our daily prayer;
Mervin & Virginia Clark
We love you! You are in our prayers!
Hi Bethani & Brian!
Just want to let you know that you are in my thoughts and prayers every day. Also, Grace Naranjo asked me to tell you hello from their family. Her mother received a liver transplant a few years ago and she is doing great. She had some of the same problems you are having but everything smoothed out and she is not having any complications and living a great life. Keep you heads up!! I will believe with you for Christmas.
Love you so much!!
Shren
Brian and Bethani,
How are you today?? I have been trying to reach you. My heart has been so heavy since this all has happened. I couldn't imagine. I can't wait to see your sweet smiling face come through the church doors holding Wyatt. You both are such a wonderful couple that when I heard that you were going through this my heart was saddened. I keep waiting to see both of you come through the church doors smiling like you always have. I appreciate your walk and integrity that you have. Bro. & Sis. Bishop I can't imaging how you feel. If theres anything you need done shopping, things done before christmas please let me know I would be honored to do it. In Jesus name you will be ALL home for Christmas.
Love,
Sis. Hurst
Bethani,
You going home for Christmas to celebrate with family will be the best Christmas present any of us could receive. You concentrate on getting well, and all your friends and loved ones will pray. Bro. & Sis. Bishop, keep wrapping those presents because your loved ones are coming home for Christmas. We love you all, the Hoppers
Bethani,
Brandon and I went on vaction this week. Out of chance, we happened upon a public computer where you could get the internet. The first thing I did was jump onto your site! :) You are not forgotten- we are all still praying for you. Little Wyatt, is so cute! Jake was getting over a cold before we left, but maybe in the next couple of days Robin can bring Wyatt over and they can play.
You sound great and positive on your blog! You will be home for Christmas! God has his hand on you...
Amy Miraflor
Sweet Bethani,
I just want you to know I have been praying for you continually as well as our church. I know that the Lord and all your angels have been by your side all these months. I can't wait till things are back to normal for you, Brian, and baby Wyatt. Your strength through this whole ordeal has continued to be a testimony of your faith in Jesus. You are one amazing woman! When you are feeling better I'll give you one of my famous messages!!! You deserve it.
Love Always,
Teri Ann
Bethani,
Although I haven't seen you in years. I have prayer for you everyday!! I believe God is working a miracle through you, i'm staying faithful.

So glad you are feeling good enough to spend some time with your lil guy. My heart goes out to you missing your baby. I pray God gives you strength to get thru this. And a VERY SPEEDY recovery! Home for Christmas never sounded sweeter I'm sure.
Love and Prayers

Hey girl, we haven't seen you in years, but this kind of thing seems to bring people together and it really has a way of making us all stop and be thankful for our good health! Our church has been praying for you and your family.....Your baby has a strong mommy, and thousands of people are praying for her...
Hugs to you, your husband, and your little man.
Dear Bethani,
I have only recently met you and your mother in Bakersfield. After reading your Wednesday post I have to tell you that you are really an inspiration! I know your challenge is great but our God is so much more! Our prayers are with you and your family.
Priscilla Carrasco

Wow.
I go to work not knowing you wrote this, and by the time I get here the comments section is longer than the human DNA genome written out in longhand.
But you know, it takes a special knack to be 35th. Go ahead and prove otherwise, all you previous 34. No really.

Exeter is with you Sis. Still praying and believing!

Bethani-
I am so glad to hear you are felling good today. I am always praying for you and your family. You will be going home for christmas! Thank you for keeping up with the blog, we check it everyday. I love you very much. SarahAnne
Bethani, all of us at my job are praying for you. This has touched our hearts in more ways than you can imagine. There is also a little 5 month old baby girl who they just found out had 5 brain tumors. All cancer. Her future looks very bad. The parents haven't decided what treatment to choose, cause any of them are horrible for the baby. So we pray for you and her everyday.
WE love you even though we hardly know you.
Tell Brian that Eddie and I are holding him up in prayer as well.
Love you. Barb Burlison
Bethany, Brian, Bro & Sis Bishop and Bro & Sis Roam;
This is Bro Adair. I have not commented out of lack of love and concern but rather to give my space to others. We started another fasting and prayer chain on Tuesday night at Bible Study. Bethany and Brian, we love you very much. Bro & Sis Bishop, we love y'all very very much and you know you can call on us for anything you need at any time. Bro & Sis Roam, we pray for you also, and are glad for our acquaitance over the many years.
To all, Remember God is Large and in Charge.
Love and Prayers,
The Adairs
Brian and Bethani,
Woke this morning with you heavy on my heart and this precious old song came to mind... "Peace, peace, wonderful peace coming down from the Father above..." I am praying His peace will be your gift today! You are always in our prayers and we love you all so very much!
Natalie
Good morning Brian and Bethani, Thank you Brian for keeping us so updated on all that is happening...and Bethani it was so nice hearing from you. Just know you are not going through the next few treatments alone. There are a lot of people loving you and praying for you as you work your way back to a healthy body. You are all awesome and we love you so much. May God continue to bless and restore you.
My Love, Aunt Sharon
We continue to pray for you daily and you are always in our thoughts. We believe and know that God is a miracle worker! We are praying for a blessed Christmas with your family.
We love you!

You two are never far from my thoughts and in my prayers. It was just a year ago that Charlie and I were going though a rough time of our own. But as I look back I see Gods hands carrying us though as he has been and will continue to do so with you. we send our love
Charlie and Donna Hayes
God's grace is amazing. One doesn't realize just what it is or means until one suffers great need. During my battle with cancer in 2004, it seemed at times that I was securely wrapped in a blanket of God's peace. No matter how bad the news was or how endless the medical procedures were, God kept me safe. Bethani, God is keeping you, He is holding you securely in His strong arms just as you would comfort Wyatt.
We are praying daily for you.
Clayton and Janiver Brown
Bethani, its great to hear from you! You are always in my prayers. Have a wonderful Christmas!
Love, Vanessa
Bethani, Brian & Family-
You continue to be in our daily thoughts and prayers. May God be will you and bless you during this holiday season.
Love,
Josh, Candace & Little 1 on the way
Brian & Bethani,
WE BELIEVE! God's got it all worked out! Good days and tough days, smooth times and bumps along the way....but you are in God's hands all the way through this time in your life! We believe God for your complete healing! Praying in Torrance!
The Saiz's
Bro & Sis Roam,
We have read all the updates and have not forgotton you in our daily prayers. God trust you with this thorn, for He knows that through it all you will love Him and Trust Him and continue to live for Him. Just keep going. It's going to alright.
Be Ye Blessed,

Hi Bethani!
Its very good to see you posting youself! I wanted to let you know that you are on my mind day and night since I heard about your situation. You know I had a serious illness in 2004 and although its completely different than yours, I too had to go through various treatments with obnoxious side effects, God brought me through it and gave me strength and peace beyond measure. My 1st treatment was awful and I prayed for God's help and every treatment thereafter was miraculously painless and without the terrible side effects.
Its amazing how the family of God binds together to pour love out when one is facing troublesome times.
I know you can feel the uplifting prayers and the support from your friends and family.
I am still praying for your complete recovery!
I love you and hope to see you sometime soon!
Kari Morgan(and Doug, Elise, Chandler, Caeden and Ava)
Dear Bethani,
I was so glad to read those precious uplifting words from your own thoughts!! I am so very proud of you Bethani!! You have grown into such a coureageous beautiful young woman and it is so hard to not think of you and my girls as "our little girls'". I am so amazed at how time flies by!! I used to babysit you and now you have a baby of you own!!
I think of you and aa of your precious family daily and I hope to hear that you are already with your family at home by the time that you read this!! Have a Wonderful Christmas with your little Wyatt!!
I love you!!
Kim Stovall
Bethani,
