I took Kolby to the doctors today. Everything was great. We were a little worried because Kolby said that she had felt a lump in her left arm pit. Yep....we were freaked out. The doctor said it was nothing for us to worry about. Whew!!! I think we are always going to worry about Kolby.
After this last chemo treatment Kolby hasn't felt very good. She is slowly but surely starting to feel better. She is just relaxing this Spring Break. She has rested and slept alot. We did go see the movie Soul Surfer. She loved it! Very inspiring and makes you really appreciate what you have even if you have challenges. Kolby sure has had enough of her challenges, but when you see someone else going through a tough time, it just reconfirms how important it is to count your blessings and to be thankful for everything that we have, even our challenges.

    I am so glad that the lump wasn't anything--I would have been worried too! Enjoy Spring Break!

    I remember finding a lump in my back after I was thru all the "stuff" and I think my blood went to ice, the fear. Mine, too, was nothing to worry about. So grateful. Life now is even more precious and what matters is all different. So glad things are going well, hope Kolby's energy returns very soon. Keeping you in our prayers!

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...

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...
