Kaylee was diagnosed with a stage III favorable Wilms Tumor in June 2011. Wilms is a childhood kidney cancer that affects abt 600 kids in North America a year. She finished 6 months of treatment including surgery, chemotherapy, and radiation. In June of 2012 we found a recurrence in her lung through a routine CT scan, and are now starting the process over again. Although always a little behind, this blog is to document her story, for her, to remember the trials and blessings that have come from her diagnosis, and so she always knows what a brave little girl she is.

Thankful

So many things to be thankful for when Thanksgiving came around:
We were thankful that there was only one treatment left. 
We were thankful that your tumor was gone, and not showing signs of coming back. 
 We were thankful that even though you had chemo the day before you were able to eat some thanksgiving dinner. 
 We were thankful we had grandparents that live in the area now to eat dinner with. . .
. . and even more thankful I didn't have to cook any of it! 
We were thankful for a willing teacher who come to our house everday to teach you your school lessons. 
We were thankful for church teachers who came to visit, bring food, and sing songs when you couldn't go to church. 


But mostly we were thankful for a loving Heavenly Father. 
 For a Savior who knew what you were going through, and helped ease some of your burdens and pain.
We were thankful for angels who watched over us. 
We were thankful for hundreds and hundreds of prayers from our wonderful family and friends. 

They worked. 
And for that we are so very thankful.
