Amnesia

Ok, I have to hurry and write a little blog. Kolby woke up this morning and she told me that she does not remember anything about yesterday...except that her dad made her a chicken pot pie last night for dinner....go figure! She even asked me if Jeff and Kylie came over. Which they did. The doctor gave her a new nausea pill and it had an additional perk for anxiety...well it totally knocked her out, and it could have caused her to be so emotional. So, I think we'll stick with the old meds. Kolby even told me that she wanted to go lay out on a float in the pool today. So Yeah!!!! She still has a head ache and we hope the watermelon and toaster strudel she just ate will stay down!

    That's probably kinda scary for her to have been so out of it. Even if it's the meds, it's still a scary thing, I think.

    Taralee....I know exactly what you mean. When she lays there and sleeps so much I can't help but to think that she is slipping away. She is so pale with dark circles around her eyes. You only see people look like that on the movies right before they die. I watch her chest move up and down and sign a huge relief. You just never know. Life is so precious....so when Kolby has a good day....or even a good moment it is time to celebrate. I know our prayers are being answered with every smile on her face. I love you Taralee!
    Love ya,
    Dana (The momma) :o)

Father's Day

Today was a great day for our family. Kolby went to church. It was a challenge , but it was really important for Kolby to go to church today with her dad. She got up, got ready and she looked beautiful. I really wish I would have taken pictures of the girls with their dad, but we were in such a hurry to get off to church that I forgot. Next time I will for sure. She was pretty emotional at church. It was a lot for her to get ready and go to church for the first time in a while. She wanted to arrive a few minutes late, and leave a few minutes early. It is really hard for Kolby to see people, only because of all the different emotions she is feeling right now. She gets very emotional when people hug her and express their love and support. She loves it, but right now, she cries every time she has a new visitor or sees people. So, please do not get offended if Kolby is quiet when you see her or visit with her. It's just how she is right now, and that's ok . Everyone deals wit...

A Very Generous Gift!

Brinley Truman, an eight year old girl in our ward and a dear friend of our family over heard her parents discussing Kolby and their desire to make a donation to "Keeping Kolby." Brinley asked her parents, Tom and Taralee, what they were talking about and Taralee explained to Brinley that they were going to donate money to the Cramptons because they wanted to show them that they love them and also because all the medicines and procedures that Kolby has to have cost a lot of money. Brinley told her parents that she wanted to give her money too. She went into their kitchen, climbed on the counter and got her money off the top of the fridge. When she got down she handed her mom 5 one dollar bills, 4 nickles, and 7 pennies. Her mom told her that she didn't have to give her money and that they would donate money as a family and Brinley said, "No, I want to use this!" Taralee told her that she should keep her money since she doesn't get money very often and they d...

Met A New Friend!

Kolby went to her weekly doctor's appointment today and as soon as we got there Dr. Kline came right out in the waiting room and told Kolby that there was a 15 year old girl who was just diagnosed with cancer and she was having a really really hard time. He asked Kolby if she would go back and talk to her. Kolby met McKenzie. She is such a darling girl. McKenzie was just diagnosed with brain cancer two weeks ago. She was very quiet and we could tell that she was scared and uncomfortable. She is just beginning to lose her hair and Kolby chatted with her about her experience. Kolby told her about the Wig Cottage and a few web sites with hat hair. McKenzie seemed a little uplifted. Kolby also told her all about her experiences the first few cycles and how much better it does get. Kolby also learned that McKenzie has to have chemo and radiation everyday for 30 days and it really made Kolby appreciate her 21 day cycle. The two were able to get strength from one another. I was really pro...
