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.

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...
