On Tuesday October 11, 2011 Leanne (Chin) was diagnosed with breast cancer. This blog will follow her journey. It will share the peaks and valleys along the way. But it will also serve as a way to communicate prayer requests and praises. Join us as we partner with Chin and fight along side her for she "...can do all things through Christ who strengthens her." Phil. 4:13

The meaning behind Chin ... There is a Chinese restaurant in the Twin Cities named Leann Chin. While Leanne was attending a basketball camp in middle school, a fellow camper had a bag from the restaurant. This camper made the connection between the name of the restaurant and Leanne's name. And the nickname Chin stuck!

As promised ...

Here are lots of pics of the Miller 3!

First, here is a pre-surgery picture of Mommy and Dr. Daddy.


Now for some Mommy and Leo moments




And we don't want to forget the Daddy moments



The whole family :)


I couldn't leave out the pictures of sweet Leo!

Look at that precious face!



He is on some oxygen and does have a feeding tube


Working on that sucking reflex


And for a size comparison, here is Leo next to Ryan's hand


A little update about Leanne:

With the great news yesterday that the cancer has not spread anywhere else in her body, the doctor's have changed their plan of care for Leanne. Right now they are trying some hormone therapy to slow the growth of the tumor. (The cancer Leanne has is hormone driven, so they are essentially trying to take its food away) We do know that most likely a combination of more chemo, radiation, and surgery are in the future. We just don't know when. But, like the past few months, we will trust God that He will give the doctor's wisdom to know how to best treat this cancer.

We still need lots of prayer! So please keep praying for Leanne, Ryan, and Leo:
  • Praise! that Leanne and Ryan were both able to hold Leo
  • Praise! that Leanne and Ryan have both been able to get good rest
  • Pray that Leo would continue to grow healthy and strong
  • Pray that the cancer would quit growing
  • Pray for wisdom and knowledge for the doctors and nurses that are treating Leanne and Leo
  • Peace for Leanne, Ryan, and their families as they await what the future holds for them
  • Peace for Leanne and Ryan as they head home (either Friday or Saturday)
