A Good Day!

This morning started out rocky, but after her chemo treatment and a 4 hour nap & several cat naps, Kolby woke up in a good mood. No throw up, no tears, and a few smiles. So, tomorrow we'll shoot for a short walk down the street. John made her favorite dinner...noodles in sauce and bread sticks. She ate the whole plate full. She didn't even complain when she had to take her meds. I am proud of you Kolby. Today was a good day! :o)

    Hi Crampton Family -

    I just stumbled onto your blog while checking up on the Trumans and their blog :) What a wonderful way for you to document this journey and keep others updated on Kolby's progress.

    I am so thrilled that today was a good day. What an encouraging post! I pray that the good days will soon outnumber the bad.

    Kolby and your sweet little family are an inspiration to all! We love you dearly and share in your heartache on the bad days and your joy and hope on the good days.

    With Love,

    Leah Whipple and Family

    Dana! You are SUCH a pro! I LOVE that you're posting and letting us know about the yummy dinner John makes! Seriously better than the Del Taco we scored. So glad to hear that you're having a good day, Kolby! and here's to many, many more of them.

    I'm so glad this blog has been set up. I'm not sure if you guys even know me that well, but I knew Kristie and Kylie in HS. And we all were in the WS stake and saw each other at camp and school and such. Anyway, glad to see today was a good day. Be strong, Crampton family. Many prayers are being sent your way. :)

    Kolby,
    I'm a distant cousin. We just heard from my parents and wanted to let you know you're in our prayers. May God bless you and the family, and provide you comfort and strength.
    God Bless,

    Dear Johnny, Dana & girls...especially Kolby!

    "Consider it pure joy...whenever you face trials of many kinds, because you know that the testing of your faith develops perseverance."
    ~ James 1:2

    This bible verse has served me well many times!;) We know all too well how hard life can be rocked through childhood illnesses such as cancer. We appreciate a blog like yours because it gives us not only a window into what direction this journey is taking your family...but also allows all of us some direction for specific prayers for you. Kolby, my young girls and I will follow your blog and without a doubt learn about your perseverance, your courage, your resiliance, and your faith in God. What a blessing you will serve to others. WE LOVE YOU!

I just caught Kolby updating her sticker chart. I cannot believe that it is almost filled in. She is so excited, and she is in such a good mood. Her spirits are high and she is feeling fantastic. She only has two more chemo treatments left, and seven more weeks of weekly doctor appointments. Kolby hasn't been missing as much school, and life for her seems to be slowly but surely going back to normal. There are even days that we do not talk about "cancer"! She is busy right now coaching Powderpuff Cheer. She has been a busy busy girl. I just love seeing Kolby so active and wanting to do more and more. Woo-Hoo!

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 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...
