Where did Tuesday Go?

Wow, it's already Wednesday. Where did Tuesday go? Well a friend of Kristi's knew a lady who bred shih tzu's. She over bred and she had to get rid of them. She was giving some away, so we had to hurry and drive to her house clear across town to look at them and decide if we wanted one before 10:00 because Kolby had a chemo treatment at 10:30. Kolby and I finally got there and she picked out the cutest puppy ever. He looks alot like Kosmo. We had Kylie and Jeff meet us at the hospital to babysit the puppy while Kolby went for her treatment. Then when we went inside, the nurses said she could have totally brought him in with her. We were bummed! Anyways, they did her blood work and all her levels were really high. Which is really really good. She had her treatment, but this time she had an extra dose of a different type of chemo which she only has to have 5 more times. This treatment knocked her out for the rest of the day. Oh, and Kolby didn't want to hold the new puppy untill it had a bath. Which is smart anyways. Oh...we hesitated a little before we called John to tell him about the puppy. Not knowing how his reaction would be, but then again, if Kolby wanted the puppy, I know he would have gone out and pick one out for her. :o) Anyways, we needed to pick out a name for him. We told Kolby to pick one out, but she wanted the family to decide. John said we needed to use a "K" name. John suggested the name Keemo. We loved it. So Kolby's new dog's name is Keemo (Key-mo). Such an appropriate name for the occasion.

    That is so, so sweet. Now at least chemo with a "K" doesn't suck--LOL! Hoping this tougher round of chemo goes well. Lots of love.

    Yes, very fitting name. I love it! I bet Kosmo is excited (or jealous?) :)

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
