At the Awards Ceremony last night I guarantee that Sarah was the only student who was waiting for results on a polyp biopsy.
We were hoping we would have heard yesterday so that she could relax and enjoy her evening . . .
but she still radiated calm and peace despite what was hanging over her head.
And the results?
The polyp biopsies were NORMAL!
Normal. Isn’t that a beautiful, beautiful word?
And isn’t that a beautiful, beautiful smile?
Thanks to everyone who has been checking in, praying and keeping us in your thoughts. We are one happy Smith family today!
(By the way, I’ll post later next week about the honors Sarah received last night.)
Neuroblastoma and colon polyps – has anyone ever suggested testing for mutations in the APC gene? It might be useful info for Sarah, her doctors, and the rest of your fam. Just a thought from your friendly genetic counselor!
Jamie,
That’s very interesting; I will pass that along to Sarah’s oncologist and the doctor who did her colonoscopy. Nice to have a friendly genetic counselor on board! 🙂 Thanks!
Yay! Yay! Yay! Thank you, God, for yet another miracle. Rejoicing with u!
Normal is AWESOME. So glad that the Smith family received such great news. I also have to add that Sarah is just naturally beautiful, inside and out.
So very glad to hear this.
Yay yay yay! So thankful! Praise The Lord. Sarah is so amazing and you can SEE Jesus shining through her.
Praise The Lord. What more can I say.

Thank you EVERYONE for your generous spirits, your rejoicing hearts and for joining us in our celebration and thanksgiving .There are few folks better than Smithellaneous folks!
By the way, the photos from last night are not from her official graduation; last night’s event was just an honors ceremony. Her official “Put On The Graduation Hat Day” is June 14. (Stockpiling Kleenex now.)
WONDERFUL, WONDERFUL!!!! Couldn’t be happier for Sarah and for her family.
When I saw the small picture of Sarah at the top… I thought all that hair up on top was definitely a new and quite different style for her. Then in the larger photo. I saw that there was indeed another head claiming the topknot!!!
looking forward to hearing about her honors… I’m guessing the “Bestest” there is, that’s for sure!!!!
Yes! I think those results deserve a celebration of some sort. Knowing Sarah a new book and a quiet spot woudl be the perfect way to celebrate that news.
Yes!!!
Hooray! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!! So glad and thankful to read this wonderful news! !!!!!!!!!
Thanks for sharing the good news. Sarah is amazing, but you know that!
God is amazing. So happy for all and the pictures are great. Sarah looks beautiful with that smile even though she had not heard the “normal.” Praise God for His blessings. Looking forward to graduation and all the fun with it.
I have a great and lasting affection for normal! So thankful for a good report. And so proud of the beautiful graduate!
