Getting Pampered!


Kolby had a hair appointment today. She was spoiled for over an hour getting her hair cut and styled. Vicki was so good with Kolby. She spent a lot of time with Kolby and made sure her hair cut was exactly what she wanted. Kolby is very picky with her hair. We kept telling Kolby that one of the things we wanted to do with her once she felt better was to get her hair, nails, and toes done. We still need to get those nails and toes done. Kolby...you deserve to be pampered these days!!!
Right now her dad is taking care of her and getting her ready for the night. He is getting her meds and mixing up her special mouthwash cocktail (Benadryl and Maalox). She is having a little melt down, her throat hurts really bad, she has a bad headache and she needs some great TLC. Her dad is the best medicine in the evenings. I am so thankful for him and his magic touch with his baby girl.

    Hey Kolby, my name is Jamie Dean. My parents are friends with yours and I just recently got home from a bone marrow transplant myself. If you're up to it I would love to talk with you. No one will ever know exactly what you are going through but I can deffinately relate. Sometimes it's nice talking to someone who's been through it as well. My number is 702.354.6983 and I just added you on Facebook :) You seem like a strong girl with a great support system so I have no doubt you'll be just fine. Keep your head up Kolby! You already have sooo many people praying for you.
    Love, Jamie

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

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

Keeping Kolby

Kolby’s website was originally named so appropriately by Sarah Barlow, one of our family’s closest friends. I think that more than anything it describes this strong selfish desire we have… not to lose our daughter in this battle with NHL cancer. Today we won another round in that fight. We got some results back from the cancer center today that had a lot of positive in it. Kolby’s new MRI and PET scans indicated that the cancer is on the retreat. Her tumors have reduced in size significantly as seen in the MRI photos, and the cancer cell activity has also dropped significantly. This is a good indication that the chemotherapy treatment is having a positive effect on her bone lesions and tumors. She still has mild patchy areas of disease on her sternum, anterior right first rib, anterior left 5th rib, in her lower vertebrate, and in her pelvic area. These areas still lit up on the PET scan, but the activity was greatly reduced. There was one area on her on her right first rib that has mi
