Today Was A Great Day!

Today was a great day! The night before Kolby had her chemo treatment she asked her dad to give her a father's blessing. It was a beautiful blessing , asking the Lord to watch over her and give her the strength spiritually as well as physically to handle the effects of the chemo, and that the side effects would not be as hard on her. We sure are thankful for the power of prayer and for father's blessings. Today Kolby had no side effects from the chemo treatment yesterday. We know the effects will probably still come, but we know that the Lord will bless and watch over Kolby. Kolby slept most of the morning after taking her first round of meds. Sleep is good. Later that afternoon Kolby decided to go out to dinner with my friends and I. I was thrilled that she went. Becca her friend went with her mom, and she was able to visit with her while all of us "moms" sat around and visited.
Kolby was also able to enjoy the evening with some dear friends. Dallin and Rachel Jenkins and Becca Mohler came over and played games all night with Kolby. It was so nice to hear them laughing and hanging out. Thank you Dallin, Rachel and Becca for coming over and keeping Kolby company. She really enjoyed your visit and hanging out. You were apart of making her day a better one! Thank you so much! She needs more nights like this one.
Tomorrow will be a new day.....and I sure hope and pray that it is as good as this one.

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...
