I just stumbled on your website. I know that was not by accident.

 Praise God.  I rejoice with you in Kaden's recovery.  We serve a Great God!!  I pray that Kaden will continue his leaps toward a full and complete recovery. I do have a prayer request.  My best friend's son, whom I've known all of his life, has been diagnosed with a spinal ependymoma.  He is 47 years old.  He will have his surgery next month.   Please pray that the tumor is benign.  Please also pray for him that through this experience he will come to know Christ as his Savior.  Thank you so much for your website.  What a joy to read of Kaden's journey and how God has brought him through so much.  I'll continue checking back on your website to see how you and your family are doing.

Any updates? I am still praying and so curious about Kaden's progress :)

Such great news all around. you all deserve it.

Gary and Tina Piercy

Dear Pauli Family,

We were so excited to read your latest update and to hear how God has been mightily at work in your family.  How we  praise God and rejoice with you over:  Kaden's saying "watermelon" clearly, his being a ring bearer along with Jace in June, the removal of his port, his being cleared for a swallow study which showed NO signs of aspiration, and his moving to a new bed in preparation for the arrival of your newest family member, baby Macey! 

Incredible!  Know you're very busy right now, but do know we are praying for all of you. May God continue to guide and strengthen you, to heal Kaden, to encourage him in his learning to eat again and to make this a time of great joy and blessing as you welcome baby Macey.

Blessings,

Jim and Charlotte Lee

The Lord said "I am your Sheppard and you shall not want"...prayer moves mountain, never stop praying, even when things gets back to normal, send up your praises.  God is good all the time, all the time God is good.

Hello Dave and Kristen, we are happy to hear that all is well with you. I am sending you information in the mail regarding the St. Jude Fundraiser on Sept 24th at Champions Run Golf Course and Dr. Merchant will be attending again this year.  We plan to have each of the families introduce themselves this year and have the kids holding a sign of what St. Jude means to them, so we really hope you can make it, 8 families in attendance would be really great. After the event the familie have suggested that we all go somewhere to celebrate, hopefully that would work for you.  Look for the information or call / email me.

I was excited to see a new update as I did my weekly check  to see how everyone is. Imagine my surprise when I saw the news of a little sister. Congratulations!!!!!! I continue to pray that all goes according to Gods plan for Kaden, and I was happy to see how good he is progressing.  I Hope school is going well for Dave & the kids.I think of you often and you are always in my prayers. God Bless you all.

Love Audra

DearnKaden and Family,

I just happened upon this site, so I don't know the details of Kaden's plight. I DO know that our God is bigger than anything! So my prayer for you is this: Kaden, God knows the plans that He has for you and they are for good and for you to prosper. He knows all of your thoughts,so believe that He cares, and knows everything that you and your family is going thru. Lift it all up to Him, let God be God and handle all of your trials and tribulations for the Battle belongs to the Lord. We don't know the reasons things happen, but we do know that we have a loving Father and a loving Son, Jesus Christ who is constantly interceding for us.So lift your hands high and praise Him for every moment that you have together. Watch and see what the Lord will do!. Amen..

I pray daily for you and your family! I know you have it in you to beat anything!

Whats up, this is ethan pauli and im wondering if ur a part of my family i havnt seen a pauli for about 3 years and it so rare to hear of one

Dear Kaden

I know that I only took care of you for a short time in your life, but I still think of you and what a little miricle of God you are to everyone around you.  I'm so glad you are doing well and continue to improve each and every day.  Even though I live in Florida now,  I've heard some wonderful stories from the Interim office.  May God continue to bless you and your family.

Hope to hear that the appt in May here soon is positive and Kaden's vocal cords and swallowing has improved even more and the trach will be out soon

Tina and Gary Piercy

I'm so happy that Kaden is doing much better!  I've prayed for him all the way for the beggining and I'm happy it payed off.  I hope Kaden gets better and better!

Dear Pauli's, My sixth grade class is praying for Kaden everyday in school! I just wanted to tell you I am praying for you're family and will keep you in my thoughts.  God Bless, Damaris Attanasio

Dave and Kristin,

You have glorified God through the entire journey of this last year!  Your declaration that "God is good all the time" has been an amazing testimony to the truth of God's character no matter what our circumstances.  Thanks for the inspiration and for sharing your story through this website.   I'm praying for complete restoration of Kaden's vocal chords and swallowing.  Love to you and all your family! 

Hey Dave, saw your picture in the Lincoln Paper on friday (2-23-07) .... so sorry to hear about your baby,,,,, sounds like things are a little better from the readings....Our thoughts and prayers are with you.....congrates on the Van.......

Tim & Cindy Bittinger,  Clarks, NE 

I received a link to your site in an e-mail about the Skittles you won. Congratulations--what a fun prize! And of course I realized that David grew up in the same neighborhood as me. (There is a small, triangle-shaped park between our houses.)

I've been struggling with what I should do, this Lent, in preparation for Easter. Coming upon your site has helped me with my decision: I am going to pray a daily Rosary for Kaden and for all of you.

Take care and God Bless,

Tracy (Barton) Tibbels

(formerly of Wahoo, now living in Lincoln)

I received your website thru Russwood Chrysler.  My husband and I were interested to see who won the van and or skittles :-)  I ended up reading most of your journals.  I was very touched and will be praying for your family.  I have an 8 yr. old daughter, a 5 yr. old daughter and a 1 yr. old (22 Mo.) old little boy named Jaden...alot of similarities.  It really has made me stop and think of  the times Ive complained and times Ive felt so hopeless and to thank God for all he has blessed us with..  We moved here from out of state after my husband lost his job with the airlines and we just so happen to live right near Lincoln christian school.  Thanks for sharing your story and your faith with us. God Bless you and your adorable children!  

Thank You Jesus!!!!!!!

I am so happy to hear the great news, May the Lord continue to Bless you all.

all my love, Audra

 Kaden and his family are in my prayers.  

Hi Kaden and Pauli's!  Just wanted to say hi and let you know you're in my thoughts and prayers.  God bless!

Pauli's,

I enjoyed getting your Christmas letter and beautiful picture of your kids.  I just wanted to let you know that I still check for updates and am praying.  Thanks again for specifics on what to pray for.  I often find it difficult to know what to say....although I know God knows.  I speak life over Kaden's body, mind, and spirit, and declare that no weapon formed against him shall prosper.  Peace to you in 2007.  May this be a New Year and a very different year from the previous.  Love to you all!

Merry Christmas to you all, Warm thoughts of you this holiday season. I know that God Has given you the greatest gift of all, His love and Kaden here with you.  May God continue to bless you in the New Year.

With all of my Love and Prayers.

Audra

...for Kaden's complete healing, for provision of every need, and especially for discernment for Dave as he faces the challenges of a Christian jr/sr high principal.  May you see the hand of God at work through you and on your behalf.

Hi Kaden and Family,

Just wanted to send you the warmest Christmas Greetings and to say Hello! Glad things are going well for you and I hope Santa brings you some nice toys!! Remember Caleb! He'll be having scans next month.

God's truest blessings on you and your family!! I still miss that smile!!

Janett Hughes, Caleb's Mom

As the anniversary of Kaden's crisis nears, I pray that your family will be strengthened and encouraged as you reflect on the display of God's love and faithfulness during these past 12 months.  You have been an inspiration to so many others.  May healing continue.  May hope soar.  May joy overflow.  May love abound.

On a more temporal level, I pray that the financial impact of Kaden's medical needs will be provided for in such a way that you will not be burdened.  I pray that Stacea and Jace and Kaden will have the best Christmas ever!  AND I pray that Dave and Kristin will have wisdom, understanding and discernment sufficient for the living out of God's special plan for your family.

Just wanted to let you know that we were thinking of you today & sending love and blessings to all.

Kevin, Angie, Carlene & Mallory 

Especially praying for Kaden's swallowing and vocal cord healing.  Since every hair of his head is numbered, I know this need does not escape the Father's notice.  May Kaden's praise be glorious!

I came across Kaden's site via the boy you rode with on the airplane...God does work in mysterious ways.  His dad, Lyle, was a huge support to us when our 10 year old daughter was diagnosed with a medulloblastoma brain tumor. She went through 2 brain surgeries, radiation and chemotherapy as well. Praise God she is 14 now and remembers very little of it all. It is a blessing that Kaden will probably remember none of what he is going through, but will be a strong individual because of it. My daughter, Bethany, is amazing because of her experience. I know it is heartbreaking as a parent to helplessly  watch your child be poked and prodded and not be able to explain why to him. Children should be exempt from pain. But we know all things work together for good for those who love the Lord. We will pray for your strength and remind you that there are miracles still at work and many many survivors of cancer. Jenni, mom to Bethany
www.bethsplace.net

Just read the 10/17 update.  I praise our Father for the report from the Occupational Therapist.  Still praying for complete healing, restoration and developement of swallowing and all other functions.  I praise God for the "blessings from the body" you experienced down there this time.

"For this reason I kneel before the Father, from whom his whole family in heaven and on earth derives its name.  I pray that out of his glorious riches he may strengthen you with power through his Spirit in your inner being, so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith.  And I pray that you, being rooted and established in love, may have power, together with all the saints, to grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ and to know this love that surpasses knowledge--that you may be filled to the measure of all the fullness of God.  Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us, to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, for ever and ever!  Amen.

I was just thinking about you guys today and felt kinda bad that I haven't gotten in touch with you. I pray all is going well for you.  God Bless.

Hi Kaden,

I am so very glad your reports are still good and God is continuing to touch you. Isn't He So Very Wonderful?!! Hope your family is well! I'll check in on you again soon. God Bless and Keep Smiling!!

Janett Hughes - Caleb's Mom

I found Kaden's website through another child's and had to sign in a say hello.  I read through the journal and Kaden is one tough little guy that puts a stamp on the phrase, "beating the odds!"  My son, Jake, is 9 and almost 3 years in remission from Ewing's Sarcoma that he had in his skull.  We are from Omaha and were treated at Children's (Dr. Abromowitch is our oncologist), and Dr. Pucionni was one of Jake's neurosurgeons also.   Jake's odds for survival were very slim when we first found his tumor, but he is another example that miracles happen everyday.  We hope and pray that Kaden's miracle continues.  Keep up the good work, Kaden and Family!  I hope we get to meet you sometime soon!

PAULI FAMILY, JUST WANTED YOU TO KNOW THAT I CONTINUE TO PRAY FOR KADEN AND WATCH HIS PROGRESS. MAY GOD CONTINUE DOWN THIS PATH WITH HIM AND MAY HE CONTINUE TO SHOW PROGRESS DAILY. MAY HIS FREQUENT CHECKS GIVE YOU NOTHING BUT GOOD NEWS AND REASURANCE. I PRAY THAT KADEN CONTINUES TO MAKE DAILY PROGRESS AND THAT AGAIN SOME DAY THE TRACH AND G BUTTON WILL NO LONGER BE NEEDED.

Dear Pauli's

I neglected to tell you that we were sorry we missed seeing you when you were in town.  We are in Western North Carolina and we rejoice with you over Kaden's good progress report.  Hope to see you during your next visit to Memphis.

Your good news is great to hear.  Charlotte and I rejoice with you.  We continue to pray for your family.  Hopefully we will see you at Central Church when you return to Memphis.

Jim and Charlotte Lee

..I am not much good at praying but will give it my best shot for this beautiful child!!l...

I am so thankful today that Kaden's scans are good and he is doing so amazing!   I just love that boy, what I think I told you all that already! 

Kristen and Dave, we enjoyed the sweet fellowship with you this weekend.  We feel blessed to know you and your family. 

This was my prayer for Kaden during his scans...

"Because Kaden loves me, says the Lord, I will rescue him; I will protect Kaden, for he acknowledges my name.  Kaden will call upon me, and I will answer him; I will be with Kaden in trouble, I will deliver Kaden and honor him.  With long life will I satisfy Kaden and show him my salvation."   Psalm 91:14 - 16

Love you all!  Missing Kaden's huge grin already!
Donna

...at the Junior High Music Concert, Mrs. Loy led us in a closing prayer, mentioning your family and others with health issues.  "Where two or more are gathered..."  Please tell Mr. Kaden that we are so proud of his courage (in a godly way :) ) and pray that his wonderful Heavenly Father will be very near to him during his tests tomorrow.  I trust that the body of Christ down there will do its usual great job of loving on all of you while you are away from home.  Grace and peace 

Dear Kaden and his very special family, I find such hope and joy in your updates.  I'm thankful for Kaden and his strength and for each of you.  Our family (zachary kennell / rhabdomyosarcoma) will also be getting scanned on Oct 18 to check for return of cancer at St Judes.  Romans 15:13 May the God of hope fill you will all joy and peace as you trust in him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit!  I love this scripture.  Where would we be without God's help?  I will pray for you next week.  Love, Lori Zachary's mom

Hey Kaden,

We will be praying for you about your tests on the 17th. We are so glad you are walking some now and are starting to get into things, cause that's a good sign. (maybe it's not so great for Mom and Dad, but you just keep going and trying) We will also be praying for you throat and vocal cords. Besides having one of the cutest smiles I've ever seen, I know you will have the best laugh to go with it!!

Caleb was just rescanned and they think he could have a new tumor or it's maybe scar tissue or something from the radiation he had. Dr. Furman told us he had no idea what it is. We have to be watching for any new symptoms or problems, but I know there are not going to be any, because God is not going to let this be a problem! He said he would know more when he is scanned again in a few months. He will continue chemo till March, then have a bone marrow transplant, then he'll go through another round of radiation on his lungs and ribs. So, he's still got a long road to hold, but God is with us every step of the way and He's the Great Physician and Healer and I know He takes care of His children and Caleb loves Him so!! (and we do too!!)

Tell Granny, Mom and Dad Hello for us and we hope to see your precious smile again in the future. God bless you all!!

Janett Hughes - Caleb's Mom

God is so good.  Think of how many times we fall short, yet God forgives us and continues to work with us and use us to spread His Gospel.  Romans 8:28 comes to mind as my wife and I pray for your family.  I cannot imagine how difficult it is to go through such difficulty, yet Jesus can speak to your hearts through the Holy Spirit and bring that peace that passes all understanding.  We will continue to pray for you. 

Dave, Kris, Kaden Stacea and Jace, Just a quick note to let you know that you are still in my prayers and thoughts every day, May the Lord continue to hold you in his loving hands.I am so happy to hear of all the Typical Kid's mischief that Kaden is up to and i hope that school is going well for Dave & the kids. Keep your faith close and God bless you.

All our love from Lex,

Audra & family.  

Hello Pauli's...so good to see you on Monday evening in Omaha at the St. Jude benefit.  Kaden looks remarkably well.  We continue to pray for his earthly healing.

Take Care.

God Bless!

Travis, Melanie and Khloie Farran

It was a great joy and privilege to meet Kaden and Kristin today.  I have seen Stacea and Jace around school.  To see you together as a family---as if the past 10 months had been normal---gives me cause for great praise and rejoicing!  The smiling faces of your three precious children, the peace in the faces of Kristin and Dave...miracles all.  May God be praised!  Kaden's big brown eyes, chubby cheeks, and ready smile would evoke praise any day but to see them now knowing some of what he has endured since last Christmas...WOW!

May God's faithfulness be your reason to sing.  May His lovingkindness be your source of hope.  May His glory continue to be your goal.   

If I were in your place, I think I would need frequent reminders that I am not alone, that my Father is still good, that nothing is too difficult for Him, that He knows that those I love are in need of a miracle, that He is "on it."

Be ye reminded!

Praise the Lord!!  It's been awhile since I checked in on Kaden (you were just getting ready to leave St. Judes).  Wow-what progress in such a short time (it seems short to me-not you, I'm sure).  Jesus, we just thank you for what you've accomplished with little Kaden and pray that you will continue to be his Great Physician.  Amen

Kaden, as we have followed your journey, we see how much you are loved: By your parents, By those around you, By Almighty God. We trust that as you grow, you will get to know this awesome God your parents serve. And in knowing Him learn, That you are - Fearfully and Wonderfully made. From Murcia, Spain we send our prayer for you.

Strength                                    www.restrepoministries.org

Thanks for the update.  Will pray accordingly.  Your lives have changed.  The seasons are changing.  BUT...(as you know)

Malachi 3:6 states, "I the Lord do not change..."

Hebrews 13:8 says, "Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today and forever." 

I Samuel 2:2 proclaims, "...there is no Rock like our God."

Celebrating the unchanging, omnipotent Heavenly Father's love with you today!

I thank God that He has had his mighty hand protecting you Kaden. He has such great plans for your life little one. I wonder if you'll ever know how many lives you have touched & your only a year old! Will you ever understand that you are being used by the King of Kings to capture hearts? Stay sweet little warrior, and I'll come by soon to kiss on those soft chubby cheeks.

Love,

Lelia

Dear Kaden, you are so brave, and so is your family.  I met you at St Judes when my son zachary was there for a recheck.  Our God is so Big and He holds you close, and Jesus knows the pain you go through with all the trachea stuff!  Zach was in the hospital last week with a major line infection but back in school.  He is done with chemo, and we pray that he, and you, and other cancer friends keep getting stronger and better day by day.  Love you Kaiden.  Mom, I pray for you as well. Zach cried today with his PICC line change and it is so hard on me.  Love, Lori  (the Kennell's from kansas)

This morning, Kristen is on my heart.  As I consider the blessing that routine can bring with children returning to school, I am wondering if you are feeling the "craziness" of being unable to have routine as you used to know it.  The hymn, How Firm a Foundation, was a tremendous comfort and encouragement to me this morning and I pray that it will be for you to as you deal with "life."

How firm a foundation, ye saints of the Lord

Is laid for your faith in His excellent Word

What more can He say than to you He hath said

To you who for refuge to Jesus have fled

"Fear not, I am with thee:  O be not dismayed,

For I am thy God, and will still give thee aid;

I'll strengthen thee, help thee, and cause thee to stand,

Upheld by My righteous, omnipotent hand.

"When through fiery trials thy pathway shall lie,

My grace, all sufficient, shall be thy supply:

The flame shall not hurt thee; I only design

Thy dross to consume and thy gold to refine.

"The soul that on Jesus hath leaned for repose

I will not, I will not desert to its foes;

That soul, though all hell should endeavor to shake,

I'll never, no, never, no, never forsake!"

Tip of the day:  Always sing louder than the devil can shout.

And I am praying according to your requests on the updates.

Hi Kaden and Family,

We will be in prayer for Kaden and his ear and trach situations. It's a crime to the whole world if he doesn't feel like smiling because his ears hurt or he's having trouble with his trach. God is the Great Comforter and Healer and He will help you and give your parents strength to get through all of this and not let things get bad. He loves to take care of His children. This is why it's a comfort to me that I know I can call Him not only my Father, but I can call Him PaPa too. Stay safe and well and I'll keep checking up on Kaden.

Caleb is doing well and off his first round of radiation. He was elected class president and is going to school as much as he can. We are having to be really careful about this. Well, tell everyone Hello and let us know when you will be back at St. Jude. I pray the doctor's will be able to come out and say, Hey, Kaden is healed and all is well"! Praise the Lord! God bless you all!

Janett and Caleb Hughes         www.caringbridge.org/visit/calebhughes

Kristin,

Kiss that sweet baby Kaden for me!  I think of you all often and miss you, but praying for things to be normal again.  Lauren and I talk about the kids often....tell them that Lauren sends her love!

You're always in our prayers.

In Christ,

Donna

As Revelation says (in more than one place), "...This calls for patient endurance and faithfulness on the part of the saints."  May His grace enable you to faithfully and patiently endure each day---never losing sight of the glorious end of the story.  Only the timing of the end is unknown, not the outcome!

Hi Kaden and Family,

I miss so much Kaden's smile. I am so thankful it is the first thing I see when I pull up his website. We are so thankful he is doing well and you are all home safe and secure. God is so good and I know he has a wonderful work for Kaden and your family. I hope your school year goes well. Caleb first day is today, but he won't be able to go, because of being at St. Jude for check-up and radiation. (Which will be complete on Thursday) Thank you for your e-mails to Caleb. They mean a lot and we miss talking with you all. Take care and we pray for you only healing and happiness. God Bless!

Janett Hughes - Caleb's Mom

WELCOME HOME!!

congratulations on finishing your radiation!!

you are a Blessing from God!

Dear Pauli Family,

     How wonderful to hear of your safe arrival home, Kaden's ongoing progress, and God's continued faithfulness and provision.  It was such a special blessing to visit with you all in Memphis.  Please know that you continue to be on our hearts and in our prayers. 

In Him,

Jim and Charlotte Lee 

It is so exciting to hear you are back at home.  I know it must be overwhelming to now have to do everything on your own (for the most part) but you know Jesus is there with your every step and He will guide you.  It is such a relief knowing that Jesus is there.  We don't have to go on this journey on our own.  WHEW!  I don't think I could do it.

We are still praying for your family and for Kaden

Love, Ty Chris Weston and Cassidy 

PTL! You are home, together, taking it one day at a time to the praise of His glory!  I pray according to your requests and add this one:  that any suggestions from the world, the flesh and the devil that would tempt you to give into bitterness and self-pity would be put down by the Spirit within.  May your eyes of faith see the loving hands of Your heavenly father around you at all times.  It certainly is natural to be filled with those crippling attitudes.  My prayer is for the supernatural for you!

I am so glad to hear your entire family is together, safe and sound back in Lincoln.  You are a strong family!  Keep up the good work. 

Kris Lane

Thinking you might be home, thinking of the challenges of managing Kaden's care at home, of school starting soon, of the numbness (of body, mind and spirit) that can occur after a crisis like radiation therapy in another state, of just trying to live for Jesus in a fallen world......wanting you to know you are being prayed for!!!

I had the pleasure of being introduced to Kaden's prayer page from his grandparents at the Nelson Lab Trade show this week.  My heartfelt prayers go out to you and your family.

God Bless,

Vicky Taylor

Dave, Kristen, Sweet Baby Kaden, Stacea, Jace -

We miss you all already!  Glad that you were able to go home, we will continue to pray for you as you return to "normal".  Know that we are ALWAYS here for you in Memphis if you need anything!  We love you guys and enjoyed our time of fellowship with you here.  Wish we could see Kaden's precious smile today!   Keep in touch! 

In Christ,

Jeff, Donna, Lauren & Stuart Carter

Dave and Kristin,

You have been on my heart a great deal the last two weeks.  I've been praying for ALL the cancer to be removed, for ALL the Lord's plans to come to fruition for Kaden and for you, and for the Lord's Joy, Peace and Strength to surround you as you journey back to Lincoln.

The words of Psalm 86:1-7 are what I prayed for you.

Bend down oh Lord and hear our prayer,

Answer the Pauli's, for they need Your help.

Protect them, for they are devoted to You.

You are our God.

Be merciful oh Lord to the Pauli's

For they are calling on You constantly.

Give them happiness oh Lord,

for their life depends on You.

O Lord, You are so good, so ready to forgive,

so full of unfailing love for all who ask your aid.

Listen closely to our prayers, O Lord;

hear our urgent cry.

We will call to You whenever trouble strikes,

and You will answer us.

And now, I'm praising God (Psalm 145) for your return to Lincoln.

Blessings to you ALL,

Helen Fagan for the Fagan family

Am praying that your return home will be filled with joy and MUCH HELP!  May you all be ministered to by the body of Christ so that you have no lack.  Still praying...

Hello Pauli's, we are so thrilled to read that Kaden continues to do so well and that you are coming home.  We are also thrilled that your experience at St. Jude was a positive one, I certainly did not expect it to be any different, but as we know we are in uncharted waters.  As you finish Kaden's treatments we are hitting Peyton's one year of her diagnosis and first surgery.  We have come so far and too are so blessed.  We cannot wait until Kaden is rounding his anniversary.   We know that the power of prayer has gotten us all this far.

Hope to see you when you get back,

Paul and Diane Holubeck

www.caringbridge.org/visit/peytonh

Kristen, Dave, Kaden, Jace, Stacea - we miss you already!  Glad that you got home safely!  Praying that you have peace as you return to "normal".....Enjoyed our fellowship while you were in Memphis. Know that we are always here for you when you need us.  Keep in touch - and know that you are constantly in our thoughts and prayers!  Kaden and his precious smile are always on my mind!

In Christ,

Donna and Jeff Carter

Our family thinks and prays for you often.  May Kaden, and all of you, feel the peace and hope that only God can provide.  Love, Lori and Brian Kennell

My computer has been down for a week and I just got caught up on the Pauli family.  Will pray according to your requests in submission to the Father's best for you all.  Blessings, comfort, healing, safety, peace, rest, joy, provision for you all.  To the praise of His glory!

Hey Guys!!

It was a wonderful blessing to read that Kaden got a good report and you all will get to go home!! God's touch is so awesome!! Please have a safe trip home and let us know every now and then how he's doing. I'll keep looking at your website too. Here's Caleb's website address again for you:  www.caringbridge.org/visit/calebhughes    He's been having some problems with his radiation (some skin breakdown), but he's doing ok with it. They said it was a blessing, in a way, that his back is numb, because he would be in misery. They are trying different ways to get it healed up, so it doesn't get infected. If it did he would have to stay in the hospital longer for IV Antibiotics and he's not happy about that thought.

Well, God is Good and all will be well! Take care and God bless all of you!! Tell Kaden to keep smiling!!

Clay, Janett and Caleb Hughes, your friends in Arkansas

Prayers are still coming from Lexington, and Thanks be to God for the "GOOD" MRI. At the end of the month the girls and I are participating in the Dawson Co. Relay for Life. I am going to walk in Honor of Kaden and his brave battle, and there will also be a Luminaria in his honor. My the Lord continue to watch over you all. Much Love, Audra, Kevin, Jason, Kayla and Julia.

His power has given us everything we need for life ....2 peter 1:3   Dear Dave, Kristen, stacea, jace, and Kaden....we are thinking of you alot and praying for each of you that peace and joy may be yours.  We are at our hospital in wichita getting a blood transfusion this morning.  Zach was initially pretty angry about it, but is doing better.  We went outside and played in the dirt during his cross and type and it really helped him feel better to play and get dirty.  Brian and I have read your story and think you all are so strong, and know that the Lord has given you the strength that you need.  I often think of Jesus holding zachary close to his heart and now I also think of him holding Kaden as well. Think on today only, look at the joy of the moment.  God reminds us not to look into the future and it is wise instruction.  Use your energy for now, God is in the future and is preparing you for what lays ahead.  We love you with Christian love, Lori, Brian, Zachary, and Joshua Kennell from Newton Kansas.

Although it has been too long since I have sent well-wishes, please know that I am continuously checking for updates.  There are hundreds of prayer warriors that I alerted months ago, and they are still praying for Kaden and your family.

The grandson of friends here in Dallas is going through a similar battle as Kaden.  Thomas' ependymoma was found around the same time as Kaden's, and the two boys are only a few months apart in age.  I often read many similarities between Kaden's and Thomas' struggles on the websites for both babies (www.thomasbickle.com).

Continuing to pray for you all as Kaden finishes radiation, heads home, and school resumes.

Just wanted you to know that you are all still in our thoughts and prayers!

 May God continue to uphold you in the Palm of His Hand. In Christ, Kory and Jane

Kaden, Dave, Kristin, Stacea and Jace Grandma misses all of you very much.  I think about what you are doing and Kaden's schedual at the hospital several times a day.  It is taking me awhile to get into a new routine at home.  Dear Lord,  I ask you to keep Kaden healthy for the remainder of his radiation treatment and that you will spare his little brain from any damage so that he can grow into a normal little boy.  Please permanently destroy the tumor.  Give the family rest and refreshment during this time.  I thank you that your are in control and that your will will be done.  I love all of you very much.  Hugs and Kiss from Grandma.

I've been thinking of you a lot these summer days and praying that God is holding your family securely in his hand.  God knows all and sees everything.  We can't understand the journey at times but He knows it all.  How wonderful it is to read about the progress Kaden is making and your faithfulness to trust Him.  Take care and God bless.

Dave, Kristin & children,

Wanted to remind all of you that we are praying for you often.  Our girls often enquire about how Kaden is doing and remind me that "God loves Kaden very much".  May ALL of the prayers said for you sustain you and bring you peace.

Kevin, Angie, Carlene & Mallory

I love to look at Kaden's face on this website and read about how great he is doing.  It makes me smile.  I am continuing to pray for Kaden and the Pauli family daily.  I am so thankful of how well he is doing and his progress.  I hope that I will be able to see him before "ya'll" leave Memphis.  I am so proud of him.  GO KADEN!!!

When "my head is tired and my heart is sore" (as Twila Paris says in one of her songs), I am comforted as I remember that we already know the end of the story of our lives and IT IS FANTASTIC!!!  An old Amy Grant song says, "In a little while we'll be with the Father.  Can't you see Him smile?  In a little while we'll be home forever, in a while.  We're just here to learn to love Him and we'll be home in just a little while.  Days like these are just a test of our will.  Will we walk or will we fall?  I can almost see the top of the hill and I believe it's worth it all...."

May you be helped and comforted in every way by our Savior.

With everything your family are enduring right now,, as you are all together for the 4th of July, We hope you enjoy the fire works and hope they can take you out of the moment of hospitals and radiation, if only for a few minutes..

we will continue to keep you all in our prayers

Gary and Tina Piercy

  Dear Pauli family,               Thursday June 29th

Tonight I am praying endurance for you ... that God will give you strength to follow the race that He has set before you, for HE is the author and perfector of our faith.  I am also praying that God will change your course SOON and that it will no longer involve the path of cancer.

In His love,
Gretchen Garrison

Dave and Kristin   

We are Praying for you and the Family  Everything is going to be fine keep On praying and have faith.. 

I prat for him all the time

Dave and family...our prayers are with you and our hearts go out to you at this time in your lives!  Your story is proof that God does perform miracles, and that everything is possible through prayer.  Blessings to all of you!

Patti (Ridgley) Bomgaars and family

Guess Dave, Stacea and Jace got back tonight from Memphis.  Since "He that keepeth Israel neither slumbers nor sleeps..." I know that He is watching over his Pauli children right this very minute.  For dear Kaden and his mom, I pray for comfort, strength, grace, hope, and healing (for the "K man").  For the road warriors, I pray that the world will seem much smaller to you as you consider it from the perspective of your Heavenly Father...so the distance won't seem so long and your loved ones won't seem so far away.  As you "count it all joy..." I pray that a spiritual calculator will be provided because your "various trials" are adding up!!!

Hello Pauli family. You met me yesterday with my parents Jeff and Donna. I loved playing with your children and getting to know both of you better. Please keep in mind that I'm available anytime to babysit your children. Feel free to call me anytime, please. I would love to help in any way possible. I'm looking forward to spending more and more time with all of you. You're amazing people. Kaden is in my prayers everyday, and I know that God is going to work a miracle. He's an amazing God, and He wants to give you the desires of your heart. Remember, God is in control. I love you all, and you're in my prayers. Have an amazing week. Hopefully, I'll see you soon.

In Christ,
Lauren

Romans 12:12
"Be glad for all God is planning for you. Be patient in trouble and always be prayerful."

Philippians 2:15
"Among the people of the world, you shine like stars in the Heavens."

Dave and Kristin,

I have been studying Job, and I have been blessed by knowing just how much God cares for us.  Even though he was totally dismayed and depressed, Job still knew that God watched over him; "But he knows the way that I take," Job says.  Be encouraged!  God knows where you are and all that is happening to you and to little Kaden. 

We continue to pray for your whole family and for Kaden's total healing!

Nora Sandine

Dear Pauli family,

Thanks a million for your updates.  I just wanted to let you know I'm still praying and speaking life over Kaden.  In my devotions today, I was reminded that God often brings victory even when the battles look impossible and overwhelming.  Life is God's inheritance for Kaden.  God Bless you all for glorifying God as you go through this difficult process.  Much love.

Just a reminder that your Heavenly Father hears and cares...

Still praying according to your updates (thanks so much for those)

Moment by moment acceptance of God's will and the grace to accomplish it tests the "spiritual muscles" used in letting go and accepting.  I pray that yours will be strong!!!  Even though He has proven Himself so good and able, it is still hard for me to just accept and cooperate in some areas, especially when it comes to my children.  Therefore, my prayers for you are from a heart that would fail miserably in this area were it not for the gracious work of the Holy Spirit.  May you be strengthened, encouraged, protected and provided for in every way.  May He be glorified!!!

Kaden's story is so inspirational!  Thank you for allowing us to read it.  You will be in our prayers.  You sited my favorite verse numerous times in Kaden's journals:

Matt 6:34  Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself.  Each day has enough trouble of its own.

This is so true.  Keep the faith and stay strong and pray often.

God bless,
Kelli Wallace

Kris, Dave, Kaden, Stacea and Jace.  You are all in my prayers and my thanks to God for every obstacle you have overcome. Kris, thank you for sending me this link, I will look for updates often, Keep the pictures of your beautiful family coming, exspecially of Kaden with his binky, he reminds me so much of you when you were just a little older than him.Although we don't see each other often I hope you know how much I love you all. I know that God will continue to bless you according to his plan.

Audra

I don't know how difficult this must be for you.  You inspire me.  How does this work?  We're suppose to encourage you - and I'm the one receiving the blessings!  Thank you for encouraging me each time I read your updates.  It is a privilege to pray for all of you.

Blessings and love.

Patty Nun

We praise the Lord of all Grace for the good news about Kaden.

We pray that Kaden would be fully healed, God's Will would be done and God is glorified.

Grace and Peace to all of you in Kaden's family,

With much Love,

Mark, Leora, Tim & David Loos

Just wanted to let you guys know you are in our prayers and we appreciate you taking the time to keep us updated on the web site, it has been a long battle, but your family has been an encouragement so many times for us as you endure it.  Thanks and we will continue to lift Kaden and the entire family up to our Lord.   

Jesse, Seri, Addison, & Jakin

Dave & Kristen,

We wanted you to know you are in our daily thoughts and prayers.  Your faith will continue to help you through this difficult time.  If we can do anything for you, please let us know.  We will continue to follow Kaden's progress.  God Bless you all!

 We are still praying for you constantly.  I pray your family time together while undergoing the first days of radiation are a blessing to you all.  Kristin- Stay courageous.  I know it's scary to think of all the consequences of radiation but remember always that Kaden is a gift from God and we need to accept whatever it is that God is setting before us.  We love Kaden, as well as your whole family, unconditionally, and will do whatever it takes to help you through all of this.

  Our special prayer this day is that Our Heavenly Father will grant healing on Kaden and give him the strength and stamina to undergo radiation and keep is overall health well in order to withstand this process to his body.  We ask all things in HIS glorious name.  Amen.

Our family was inspired by a note from Lincoln Christian School about having a lemonade stand to raise money for Kaden.  Today, we enjoyed doing just that. 

With the assistance of friends and family, Hailey, Matthew, Taylyn, Melanie, Dylan and Riley - we worked (and played) together to raise $18.26 for Kaden.  It was so fun to watch the kids really enjoy helping someone and having a meaning for their afternoon.  They felt useful and helpful.  Many of our customers said they planned on checking out Kaden's website.

Our bible verse this week at VBS was...

            1 Corinthians 16:13,14  Be on your guard, stand firm in your faith,be men (and women) of courage, be strong and do everything in love.

We think this verse applies to your family and we are all thinking and praying for you all.

Friends of Kaden,

Dylan, Riley, Hailey & Matthew Andelt, Taylyn Davey, Melanie Seaman

Hey Guys,

I just wanted to let you know I was thinking of you and praying. It was so nice to meet you the other day. You've got a very handsome, VERY STRONG little man and we're BELIEVING with you for his MIRACLE! Please feel free to contact us if there is anything we can help you with while you are here in Memphis.

Take Care .....

Love, Tonya

Dave, Kris, Stacea, Jace and Kaden,

Please know that you are not forgotten through this long trial.  We pray continually for all of you.  Praise God for His faithfulness and the strength that only He can give!

Pauli's,

We continue to pray for Kaden and will stay in touch via this site.  I will pray hard that he stays healthy throughout treatment.   I was always afraid Peyton would get sick and then she would miss a day of radiation b/c they would not be able to sedate her.  She stayed healthy all the way through as I am confident Kaden will too!  We leave for Peyton's Make a Wish trip to Disney World on the 12th, so we will all be thinking of Kaden on that day.

The Holubeck's

Dear Pauli family:

Just wanted to let you know that yes you are away from us physically, but not spiritually or prayerfully.  That's the wonderful thing about the universal church. We continue to pray for you all.

Vicki Davis

Dear Pauli Family,

We are so glad that you have contacted us.  Please know that our dear friend and fellow St Jude mom Brandi Beamon will be at the hospital tomorrow night to welcome you.  The Beamon Family is deeply committed to the ministry and mission of Habitat for Hope, and in Brandi you will find a sister in Christ as well as a friend that can help you walk the road that is St Jude.  We will be lifting your family and Kaden in prayer and petitioning for his TOTAL healing.  We will meet you soon, when we land in Memphis!  God bless you and your sweet family. 

Love, Mylissa Horrocks

Kristin, Kaden, and Grandma Pauli

May God go before you and prepare the way for your trip to St. Judes.  May He be praparing Kaden right now for a healthy response to the treatment he will receive.  May He pour PEACE AND BLESSING upon you as you are away from family and friends.  Know that no distance will seperate you from our thoughts and prayer, though!  We continue to pray for HEALING for this dear child of God.  We are thankful for his birthday.  The pictures are so darling.  You can't tell he's been through all that he has.  What a TROOPER!

I will continually be praying for you!  Go in peace! 

Marleta

We will be praying w hile you are traveling for your safe travel, uneventful travel, comfortable trave for kayden.. and for God to give your family patience, peace, and comfort during this trying time.

You are all so brave!!!

Tina, Gary, Cooper and Bella Grace Piercy

We commit to pray for Kaden and your family while in Memphis and that Kaden would be healed and doctors be given wisdom.

Wayne, Cori, Karissa and Kyra Boesiger

Dave and Kristin, I wondered which choice you would make.  Feel comfortable with your decision as St. Jude is truly a wonderful and inspiring place.  We are here for you if you need us, certainly call if you have any more questions about St. Jude.  We will be praying for Kaden and we will want to see you when you return to catch up.

Diane

You will all be in our constant thoughts and prayers.  Kristin, Dave, Stacea, Jace, and especially Kaden,  we pray for safe travel for everyone involved.  We pray that God will handle your fear and give you the peace of mind that only He can give.  Kaden- We especially pray for you that you have the strength and healing that it takes to rid your body of the rest of the tumor. We pray that God will hold your family tight and give you the reassurance you need right now.  We love you all and will do whatever we can to help ease your burden a little.  Stacey and Ernie

Dearest Pauli family...As I read through your updates, it brings back such a flood of emotions for our family.  Our daughter, Khloie reminds us a lot of Kaden.  When I was reading about his low oxygen level and you guys going home on oxygen and a stats monitor, I can remember how extremely overwhelmed we were with our "new normal".  If you recall, Khloie has a trach, shunt, G-tube and central line...just like Kaden.  We too pray that the secretion issue will resolve itself and both Khloie and Kaden can enjoy the taste of "real" food again.  The joy of toteing around a suction machine and spare trachs tends not to last real long.  We will be back at St. Jude for another scan on June 19th and hope to meet you in person.  Kaden sounds like a real trooper.  St. Judes is a wonderful place! 

You will all remain in our prayers!

Take Care and God Bless!

Travis, Melanie and Khloie Farran

Dave and Kris,

You guys are the most amazing people I have EVER known! Your love and devotion not only to each other but to God are so awesome. You have a beautiful family and God has blessed you with a wonderful and encouraging circle of family and friends as well.

I haven't been real good about praying for quite awhile but when I heard about Kadens problems I  started to pray for Kaden and your entire family each and every day...and it seems to be helping! It has really hit home 'cause of Jackson just being 6 months old and wondering if I would be as strong as you guys are. Again, you are an amazing couple.

Keep up the good work Kaden! Jackson wants to play when you get to feeling better and get back down here to Bluffs.

Always thinking of you...

The Mitchell family

Happy Mothers Day!

Hi,

I'm sure you've been through very VERY hard times, along this journey, wheather you know if your son is going be ok and other things. You should read Isaiah 41:10&13. It helped my mom on a hard time and it can help you!

Praying for you,

Haley Osborn

Pauli Family,

       We became aware of Kaden through an FCA prayer request email. I check Kaden's website daily so my family can pray for him
