This past week Kensley has been doing a lot better. Two weeks ago we took Kensley to the emergency room in cedar. She had a high fever, two ear infections and couldn't keep anything down. We were scared, She looked horrible and was barely coherent. After they got her fever down they released us and we headed up north the next day. When we got there we took her in and they admitted Kensley right away. She spent the next week at primary children's where they were monitoring her, having her take different medication for her nausea. Kensley couldn't keep anything down, and was losing weight. After a long week in the hospital she started improving and getting back to her old self. They released her on friday and she was able to come home for the weekend. This week has been such an improvement. She has been playing, laughing and running around. It makes us so happy to see her feeling so good. She was even up for a visit to see her great grandparents and cousins, which made Kens so happy. We finished out her 5th week of radiation, which has been going as planned. After radiation I was changing Kensley's diaper and accidently pulled out her cath. which turned out to be a good thing. It allowed her to try and pee on her own... and she was able to! : ) One less thing for her to have to deal with. Next week is our last week of radiation.. Whoo Hoo!! We start Chemo again on Monday, which makes us sad because she has felt so good. We are hoping this round will not be as bad this time, its hard to see her getting better just to knock her down again. But Kensley is a strong little girl and she will get through this. We are so thankful for all the love and support for our Family. We are very blessed to have such great people in our lives.






I can't even begin to imagine all the fears and heartache that come with watching your beautiful little girl fight such an incredible batttle for life. She must be a strong spirit and so are both of you. I am glad you are sharing your story so we can pray for you and it helps the rest of us carry a greater measure of gratitude for the blessing of health amidst the chaos that comes with a young family. Hang in there Kensley! We are praying for you!
