A little "Hi" from Kylie

So, I went over to my parents today to visit Kolby and my mom. I got there and Kolby was still asleep! That crazy girl can sleep till 12 in the afternoon! I used to be able to do that in high school and during the summer, but being pregnant it's a lot harder! I love sitting there with Kolby, even when she does sleep all day long. I didn't get to see her yesterday, and I hate the days I don't see her. So I made sure to come by today and hang out with her for awhile. I was talking to her about her "wish" since she gets to make a wish with Make A Wish Foundation. I asked if she made a decision. She told me no, she hasn't. I asked her why not?! She said she wants to do something that the whole family can be included in. There Kolby goes, trying to think of everyone else instead of this one wish for herself! I told her we can always do things as a family. That she needed to think of this wish for HERSELF! I love her so much. I sat with her and told her to lay down and I tickled her back for about 20 minutes. It's amazing how when you get your back tickled everything on your mind goes away. I wish i could take everything away from her and have her enjoy her summer and hang out with her friends. Hopefully she will start having more energy so she could come hang out with us all. Today mom and I got in the pool and Kolby said she'd come lay in the raft but she was really tired.. I got pretty sun burnt. Maybe next time I'll put sun screen on. Kolby and I said we will compete this year to see who can get a tan the quickest or the most tannest! Kolby will probably win because she tans so easily! I just want kolby to know how much I love her and that I'm always thinking of her! I love you Kolby! I'll see you tomorrow!!

    Kylie, you are a wonderful sister. I am so thankful for you and Kristi and for the service you so lovingly give Kolby. I do not ever have to ask you to do anything, you just know what to do. I love you very much. Thank you for being such an amazing sister to Kolby, especially during this difficult time in her life.

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...
