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!

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

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

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
