Feeling "Down" These Past Few Days!

Kolby has been in my bed for the last few days. She hasn't felt that well and her energy level is pretty low so she hasn't done much of anything lately. It makes me feel bad because she plans on doing things (like going to student council) and then she just can't. When John took her to her doctor's appointment her blood work was pretty low. The oxygen level in her blood was pretty low too and that is why she doesn't have the energy to do a lot of things. She has been pretty quiet and emotional. She is back on all the meds after her chemo treatment....and she really dreads these days. Once again on this roller coaster of a ride Kolby is "down" right now...and we are looking forward to the "up" days! Love you Kolby!

    So sorry that things have not been going well for Kolby. Just a few more days and then you'll be over the latest chemo hurdle.

    Hopefully, Kolby feels well enough to come for Austin's baby blessing in the morning. We're looking forward to seeing the whole family :)

    Lots of love,

    The WHOLE Whipple Family

    So glad you were able to come to church for the blessing. I wish I could take away your pain...I truly do. Just know you are in my prayers and thoughts always.

I just caught Kolby updating her sticker chart. I cannot believe that it is almost filled in. She is so excited, and she is in such a good mood. Her spirits are high and she is feeling fantastic. She only has two more chemo treatments left, and seven more weeks of weekly doctor appointments. Kolby hasn't been missing as much school, and life for her seems to be slowly but surely going back to normal. There are even days that we do not talk about "cancer"! She is busy right now coaching Powderpuff Cheer. She has been a busy busy girl. I just love seeing Kolby so active and wanting to do more and more. Woo-Hoo!

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 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...
