Getting Pampered!


Kolby had a hair appointment today. She was spoiled for over an hour getting her hair cut and styled. Vicki was so good with Kolby. She spent a lot of time with Kolby and made sure her hair cut was exactly what she wanted. Kolby is very picky with her hair. We kept telling Kolby that one of the things we wanted to do with her once she felt better was to get her hair, nails, and toes done. We still need to get those nails and toes done. Kolby...you deserve to be pampered these days!!!
Right now her dad is taking care of her and getting her ready for the night. He is getting her meds and mixing up her special mouthwash cocktail (Benadryl and Maalox). She is having a little melt down, her throat hurts really bad, she has a bad headache and she needs some great TLC. Her dad is the best medicine in the evenings. I am so thankful for him and his magic touch with his baby girl.

    Hey Kolby, my name is Jamie Dean. My parents are friends with yours and I just recently got home from a bone marrow transplant myself. If you're up to it I would love to talk with you. No one will ever know exactly what you are going through but I can deffinately relate. Sometimes it's nice talking to someone who's been through it as well. My number is 702.354.6983 and I just added you on Facebook :) You seem like a strong girl with a great support system so I have no doubt you'll be just fine. Keep your head up Kolby! You already have sooo many people praying for you.
    Love, Jamie

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...
