Up and Down!

I haven't updated Kolby's blog the last couple days because Kolby has felt so good and was back to her old self. She even hung out with her friend Gabby Newman the last couple days. When Kolby hangs out with her friends her attitude is so much better and she acts like her old self. John and I have also been able to sigh a little relief these last few days. I cannot express enough how wonderful it is for Kolby to feel good. She even mentioned to us yesterday that it will be so nice this time next summer, and feeling wonderful all the time. She really misses feeling that way on a constant basis.
Today she woke up this morning with a slight fever. 99.1 As long as she doesn't reach 100 then she can stay home. Once her temp reaches 100 we have to take her to the emergency room. She also woke up not feeling and looking too well. Her tummy hurts and she is upset and just wants to stay in bed. She really isn't complaining to much, but she does want John or I by her side. So we are taking turns, giving back rubs and foot massages....doesn't sound to bad. But it really does help and it takes her mind off of her troubles. It is the least we can do for her.
I have been busy mailing off t-shirts. There are even orders from people that we do not know that read her blog. I cannot thank you enough for making a donation to "Keeping Kolby!" Kolby loves seeing the t-shirts going out! It is exciting. The bills are starting to roll in, and it is so nice to have the extra funds to pay them right away. We cannot tell you enough as a family how thankful we are for all of you. We know we are so blessed. Money and bills are stressful enough, and with the Keeping Kolby fund, our stresses are eased away. Thank you....Thank you....Thank you! Also, please, please, please take a picture with your shirts on and email them to me at dmcjpc@gmail.com or text them to me at 702-596-3262. We want you to be put on her blog so she can be reminded how you helped her through her journey of cancer. Thank you!

  1. I am so glad Kolby (and the family) had a little reprieve for a couple of days and I hope the fever leaves soon!

  2. Sometimes friends/family can be the best medicine! I'm so happy that you're feeling a bit more like your normal self. Keep laughing!

    I wish we could see into the future :) With all of our possible change going on, I keep saying that. haha. I'm happy to hear the possitive attitude of "it will feel nice this time next summer to feel wonderful". Keep up that kind of attitude Kolby! That is the kind of attitude that will help pull you through. You're amazing!!!!!

    I can't wait to get our shirts. Brinley is quite anxious too :)

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

ONE YEAR CANCER FREE!!!

I am beyond blessed! I finally hit my one year mark on May 22, 2012. After going through chemo for a year and waiting for the those cancer cells to be gone, I have been free from it for a whole year! I cant even begin to tell everyone how excited i am! For my one year, I did some of my favorite things. I went to lunch with Kylie at Panda Express, Outback for dinner with my dad and Gabby and then went and got ice cream at Baskin Robbins! :))
