Third day on the couch!

My poor Kolby doesn't have the energy to do anything. The last few days she has barely left the family room. Her weak body just wants to sleep. She wants to get up and shower but between the nausea and no energy, the couch wins! Tonight Blake and Lori Burr had a BBQ. We were planning on going all day, but after about the 10th time of her telling me that she was going to get up, I gave in and let her sleep. She asks me, "Mom, when am I going to feel better again"? Honestly, I do not know what to tell her. I watch her sleep. I look at my beautiful daughter and I wonder...and I think she should be out with her friends, swimming, going to the movies,and shopping. But no....instead she sleeps.

I want Kolby to know that I am very proud of you. You are my hero. You have always been such an example to me. You are so strong even when you cry. You have such a positive attitude. Even when you feel sick you still have a sparkle of hope in your eyes. Your sisters and you are my greatest blessings. Never forget how much I love you. Even when I make you take all your pills! LOL ;o)

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 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...

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! :))
