Mahalo, Gracias, Danke, Merci, …“Thank-you”!!


As a family we are struggling hard to find the right words to express our deep heartfelt appreciation for you!! You have truly done wonderful things for us. Flowers, food, calls, visits, gifts, donations, emails, all favors received, (and surely we receive many) and prayers for Kolby and our family. We so greatly appreciate the thought behind every act of kindness you have done!!! Kolby’s Illness has been a burden…but your actions have really lightened the load. For that especially, from the bottom of our hearts…we want to tell you of our gratefulness for you. This time has been difficult for us, but knowing we have the support of people like you truly helps.

Please know, that your kind gestures have not gone unnoticed or unappreciated. Every single kind deed that you do opens the floodgates of emotions in our hearts and our eyes are swimming in tears as we feel overwhelmed by the love that you have shown us. We are thankful for kindnesses we cannot measure and for gifts we cannot appraise. You are so compassionate, so thoughtful, so caring that we felt it was important to not only extend our thanks privately…but publicly as well. We have obtained an abundance of proof that God lives and loves his children. He hears and answers prayers…and you have been those answers that we needed most. Your words and deeds of kindness are as a gentle air to our souls in this time of difficulty in our lives. All of our worries and troubles are slain victoriously at the feet of hope daily…because of you and the caring sensitivity that you have shown our family. We pray and thank the Lord every night for you. We pray that he will bless you ten times the kindness that you have shown us. Please accept this as a personal and public expression of our appreciation and gratitude for you and all of your endless deeds of kindness. May the Lord bless you, as much…and as tenderly, as you have blest our lives!!!

Once again from the bottom of our hearts…Thank-you,

Sincerely…your friends,
The Crampton Family

    Kolby, you don't know me, but your cousin, Heather Worthen shared your story with me. We have much in common, or I should say your mom and I do. My daughter also has cancer. Hers is leukemia. Please feel free to check out our story at the4ellisons.blogspot and leave your email if you want to be in touch. As I am sure you are learning, there is much strength in numbers. Kolby, be strong.

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
