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.

Wishes

Surprise!

You know Kaylee, there is a lot of bad stuff in this world.  But, man, I can hardly speak (or write for that matter), without a lump in my throat of so much pure goodness there is from the sweet generosity of others.  The things people think of to do for people in times of need never ceases to amaze me.  The Make a Wish foundation is just one organization that has turned the end of an exhausting journey into a memory filled, dream trip that we alone would have never been able to do. 
Revealing your wish, to go to Disney World, was the perfect way to celebrate the end of your treatments.  We gathered some family at your favorite restraunt and the Wish makers planned an evening of presents and surprises that alone was a dream come true.  Then we had the Trip just weeks to look forward to!  I am just so impressed at the lengths others go to, to help perfect strangers.  I hope we can always pass it forward.
