Little Knox Bridges Taylor and I would like to send out our gratitude to all who have sent cards, love, prayers, and financial support. We have been overwhelmed by the support we have received and know God has truly blessed us that Knox is such a special part of so many lives. To all of you who either played, donated, or helped put together the golf tournament in honor of Knox, thank you so much. We could never express how much this meant to us.

We would like to tell you a little bit about Knox to those who may not know him. Knox was diagnosed with cancer, ALL leukemia on April 5th, 2010, at eight months old. Because of his age, it is considered Infant ALL, a rare form of leukemia which requires him to be an inpatient for most of his treatment. His treatment is scheduled for two years but with every setback it will add weeks. Knox went to the pediatrician’s office to follow up on what we thought was constipation and allergies. Within hours and a blood test, we were sent to Egleston Children’s Hospital in Atlanta with the prediagnosis of leukemia. Taylor and I were sure they had made a mistake, that our baby boy could not have cancer. Once we reached the hospital they took us back to a room, drew blood and returned with the horrible news that Knox has leukemia. Taylor and I began to question what did we do wrong, why our baby, how can we make this better. The doctor explained to us during this emotional roller coaster that Knox was very critical, that they needed to get him to ICU right away and begin treating the disease. At that point I could not feel; I was numb, and words seemed to be the same: cancer, cancer, cancer. That was all I could hear. I went to the bathroom and began to pray asking God to help me out of this dark place. Taylor too was broken. He had finally had his son only to have him taken at such a young age. We both were no good to each other or Knox. Then God showed up, picked us both up, gave us His strength, and He is still carrying us.

Taylor and I cannot to this day explain how different it was when God rescued us. We had both given up and felt that Knox was going to die, and we could not do anything about it. Since I had just lost my father to cancer June 25, 2009, I felt there was no hope. With Knox being so young, there would be no way he could battle this disease. God then took all that away and began to give us knowledge. The doctors at first gave us only bad news, but once God was involved they began to give us the hope we needed. A friend who as a child had leukemia called Taylor and helped him understand more about the disease. We were comforted by so many of you back home with phone calls, emails, texts, and face book telling us that you all were praying and believing that God would deliver us. The journey has been tough, and we know as we battle this disease that we will have many bumps in the road, but with God carrying us we have no doubt that we will make it to the “cure.” Please continue sending prayers up for Knox and know that we are so blessed to have such a great community helping us through this time in our lives. “God is Good.” The Bridges,

Taylor, Tina, Karlie, Morgan and Knox
