Kolby just finished her last pills for this chemo treatment! Yay Kolby!!! You survived another round of chemo and all those pills. You sure are a trooper. Your family is so proud of you and your positive attitude. Going back to school on Monday shows your dedication to school and your responsibilities. You so could stay home and take advantage of the fact that you have cancer, but no, you get up each morning at 4:15 a.m., go to seminary with your dad at 5:15, then school and come home, sleep for a few hours, and then get up again and do homework for a few hours. We never have to tell you to do anything....you just do it. Your amazing Kolby.
The last few days have been difficult because our sweet 10 year old dog, Kosmo, has developed serious health problems and is in a lot of pain. The girls have been discussing the fact that we may have to put him down. Kolby's sisters were telling me that it wasn't good to let him be in pain, and that we needed to really consider putting him down. Then all of a sudden Kolby speaks up and says, "Hey I am in pain, and your not putting me down!" Actually it was really funny. Kolby at times can be so funny. She is such a crazy girl, and this whole cancer experience sure has brought out quite a funny sense of humor in Kolby. It sure makes it easier on everyone when she jokes about it. Cancer is too serious of a illness....so the best thing to do is joke about it. Especially the way Kolby does. She always surprises us with her funny comments.
We meet with Kolby's counselor and teachers on Thursday afternoon to officially put her 504 plan into effect. No one really comments anymore about her wearing her hats anymore. She got pretty good at handling the hall monitors who yelled at her to take her hats off.
Kolby you sure are a strength and example to your family. You never want us to feel sorry for you, and you are always so positive. When you are not feeling well, you just keep to your self and you never really complain. We know you do not feel good at times, but you still keep your sweet spirit. You are amazing. You are a strength to us all and I want you to know how much we love you and admire your determination to keep your faith and positive countenance. Your journey through cancer has touched so many lives, and your life will be blessed for it. This is just a chapter in your life that will pass, and you will look back one day and be thankful for this trial....for it has helped you become an even more beautiful young lady, inside and out. XOXOXO!!!!
