Kolby went to school today. After sleeping most of Sunday away and taking it easy she was ready for the new week. Kolby is feeling a little overwhelmed with all her school work. I had to remind her of her 504 plan we set up at school and that she was allowed additional time to turn in her work. Most of the days Kolby comes home and sleeps all afternoon and into the evening. She'll wake up and eat dinner then zonk out again. Going to school takes a lot out of Kolby. We are proud of Kolby for going to school. She loves her social life, and we feel like that is the most important aspect of school right now. Kolby still wants to keep her grades up. We help her as much as we can. It looks like we will have to get her a Geometry tutor by her request. She is getting behind and it really upsets her. Kolby is feeling good today. She has 4 more days until her next chemo treatment.
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
I wish I could help her with the geometry! I know how frustrating it is to feel behind. I agree that her social life is most important right now, just after her health Good luck Kolby! I am so amazed by your determination!
ReplyDeleteOnly 4 more days? Time goes so quickly...
ReplyDeleteKolby, I commend you for being so responsible with your school work, but don't be too hard on yourself when you're not able to get things done the way you normally would. This is a time in your life that certainly calls for an exception.
You're doing great!
Gosh, 4 more days? It's a good thing you've been feeling a little better or that would stink even more to not have a moment of peace. I'm sorry you're so wiped out and tired. That's a very frustrating feeling. YOU AMAZE me with all of your school stuff. I can't say for certain...but I'm not sure I would be able to do what you're doing. You really are a strong person. But if I DID get through it I think the social part of it would be the ONLY thing getting me through it :)
ReplyDeleteKeep up the good work. If you don't get as good of grades as you're used to, I'll personally make you a FREE PASS certificate so you can give yourself a break ;) lol!
Dear Kolby,
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for coming to the YW in Excellence tonight and talking about your faith. Hearing you(tonight and in your recent Sac Mtg talk) share some of the experiences you have been having is very inspirational. Thank you. I'm so glad that you have been able to feel Heavenly Father's love for you through all of this. We love you, too, and pray for you every day. Love, Kathy Nash
