Emotional Day

Kolby had probably one of the most emotional days since she has been sick. She didn't speak very much today. She cried off and on all day long. She said she didn't know why she was crying but that she just felt like crying. We all asked her what she was thinking about and it just made her cry more. We all told Kolby that it is ok to cry, and she was allowed to cry all she wanted. I left the family room for a moment and when I came back Kristi was rubbing her feet and Kylie was tickling her arm and hands. After she cried, she would just sleep. She slept most of the day. We asked her what day it was, and she wasn't sure, heck sometimes I do not even know what the day is half the time. Her dad came home, and of course he takes over and cheers her up and takes care of her. I went to see CATS with my mom tonight (Thanks to Debbie Furey for the tickets!) and when I came home Kolby was sleeping on the couch once again. So, I am going to snuggle up by her, sleep, and hope for a happier tomorrow. P.S. Jeff thank you so much for bringing Kolby a smoothie, you always cheer her up and make her giggle. You are a wonderful brother-in-law. I love and appreciate you!

    You're a dedicated blogger to be up so late posting. However, I check your blog every morning and am always so happy to have a morning update :)

    I'm so sorry that yesterday was so emotional for Kolby (and probably everybody else that watches her suffer). Hopefully, today is a better day!

    I'm so sorry it was a bad day--at least Kolby doesn't remember it. I can appreciate a girl who only remembers the food (LOL!). I am also glad you got a little break and got to see Cats! Awesome!

A little note from me, Kolby.

I want thank Kristi and Kylie for designing these T-Shirts. At first I didn't want my name on the shirt. I really do not like having the attention on me. But, after I saw them I really liked them. Thank you Kristi and Kylie. Also, thank you so much Vicki and Dale for making the t-shirts, you did a great job. I just love them. Thank you!!! This has been really hard on me. I wish I felt better and I want my healthy body back. I miss hanging out with my friends and doing the things I like. I also do not like it when I feel sick. The blisters in my throat and mouth are gone right now, but when I take chemo again I know they will come back. It has been nice feeling good these last few days. I haven't had to have chemo this week because of the scans. It is such a good feeling to feel good again. I never really appreciated my healthy body till now. The chemo makes me feel horrible. I have no energy. I feel nauseous all the time and I get horrible headaches. They hurt so bad. I get s...

Keeping Kolby

Kolby’s website was originally named so appropriately by Sarah Barlow, one of our family’s closest friends. I think that more than anything it describes this strong selfish desire we have… not to lose our daughter in this battle with NHL cancer. Today we won another round in that fight. We got some results back from the cancer center today that had a lot of positive in it. Kolby’s new MRI and PET scans indicated that the cancer is on the retreat. Her tumors have reduced in size significantly as seen in the MRI photos, and the cancer cell activity has also dropped significantly. This is a good indication that the chemotherapy treatment is having a positive effect on her bone lesions and tumors. She still has mild patchy areas of disease on her sternum, anterior right first rib, anterior left 5th rib, in her lower vertebrate, and in her pelvic area. These areas still lit up on the PET scan, but the activity was greatly reduced. There was one area on her on her right first rib that has mi...

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...
