I Made It To the Sixth Day!!!

No more meds after today for 15 days. Yay! Today Kolby mostly slept. When she did wake up up she felt nauseous and didn't feel very well at all. She does not have that much energy and she is very, very tired. Kolby is looking forward to the next two weeks with no required meds. It will be nice for Kolby to feel normal again for a little while. She definitely needs a break emotionally and physically. This disease is very draining and depressing, not only for Kolby but for her whole family. We try to stay as positive as we can, but it is still very difficult at times. It is very difficult and draining to watch a love one suffer so much.

Kolby's blog background was changed (thanks to Taralee Truman! Thank you!) today to accommodate a third column for the t-shirt pictures. Remember, anyone who made a donation and received a t-shirt please take a picture and email it to my mom at dmcjpc@gmail.com
I want you to be apart of my blog and my journey to recovery. Thank you!!! Also, anonymous...we are all out of Keeping Kolby bracelets. I would like to purchase some and I know you want to stay anonymous but please somehow let me know how to get some more. Thank you!

    I am SOOO happy that you are to the "no meds" part of this round. I really hope you can start keeping some food down! Earlier this evening I was {happily} telling Tom that you won't have to take meds for a little while :)

    You are very welcome! I was thrilled to be able to make some changes to your blog. Adding your 3rd column, making your header, changing some colors around and spiffin up your blog were MY PLEASURE! It's my little way to do something for you because it kills me that I can't lighten your load any other way. I know, silly, but still, I'm happy I could do something for you :) Glad you like it! ...You chose a cute background for me to work with ;)

    The blog looks great! I am so glad you get a little time off Kolby. I hope your whole family gets a break from the physical and emotional drain of chemotherapy. Much love and every prayer.

    I will take care of getting you more bracelets. I will order them today. So glad to hear so many people want them and are wearing them. Mine doesn't come off - even for weddings!! (I went to one over the weekend):) Kolby I hope soon you are feeling better and can enjoy the next few weeks with no meds. You are still and will be, to the very end when you beat this ugly disease, in my thoughts and prayers daily!

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...
