It just seems like the cancer world is never predictable. The oncologist called yesterday and filled us in on what the surgeons thought of Kaelyn's scans. It seems that they cannot see where the two main veins in the liver are in comparison to the tumor. So they want to postpone the surgery so that they can get better pictures of the liver. They need to do an MRI scan and an Echo Cardiogram. We are hoping to get these done on Monday, so that if everything is okay, Kaelyn can still go into surgery on Tuesday. But, the bad new is, is that if the veins are too intimately involved with the tumor they will not be able to remove the tumor. Kaelyn will have to have a liver transplant at that point. We really pray that we will not have to go down that road.
Please continue to fast this sunday if you are able. We are going to be fasting that the tumor will still be able to be resected and that her veins are not in the way. We know that God is a loving God and He can perform miracles. Please pray for one for our baby.
We love you and will update the site when we find out the results of her scans.

We have some wonderful news! The scan on the 6th was great. All of the lung metasteses are dead and gone!! YIPEE!! That was just the best news we have gotten in a very long time. Her liver tumor is also a bit smaller. Surgery is scheduled for August 17th. So, Kaelyn gets a week off chemo to let her get her strength up a bit and off she goes to get that nasty tumor out of her little body. We are all very nervous about the surgery, but know she is in good hands.
We are having a special fast this sunday, August 15th, for Kaelyn. If anyone is interested in participating please do. I believe that anything we can do for our girl Heavenly Father will amplify. We feel all of the blessings that result from your prayers and we thank you all for your support.
On top if it all Kaelyn is finally getting two new teeth! That little girl just likes to do everything at once!
We also have some other good news. The sale of our condo is final! We no longer have to worry about that. What a blessing to have it sold as quickly as it did.
Love to all of you. I will try and update the site as soon as I can after the surgery next week.

I have not updated the website in a while. It has been a very busy couple of weeks.
Kaelyn has had to have yet another blood transfusion. She also had a sore on her bottem lanced. That was not a fun event. We were admitted overnight for her to recieve some IV antibiotics. Even after all of this, she is so happy! I just know that the she is being embraced by Heavenly arms. She amazes me every day.
We also moved out of our condo this past weekend. It has really been a very stressful week! Boy are we all glad that the condo is almost out of our hair. We are set to sign closing papers on Thursday this week. It will be a blessing to have that finished.
Kaelyn is scheduled to have a CT scan on the 6th of August. We have high hopes for the results of the scan. The docs say that if the tumors in the lungs have all died then we will be in surgury a few days after the scan. As scary as that sounds to me, it will be so wonderful to have that liver tumor removed. After surgury they will give her a little time to recover and then it will be back to more chemo. She will need two more courses which equal six more weeks. Our hope and prayer will be that after all of this she will be cancer free!
We love you all and thank you for all of your help and prayers.
Love,
Angie

We had a really great 4th of July. Our neighbors here had a huge show. It was just as good as the professional ones. So, we put Kaelyn to bed, grabbed the baby monitor and went next door! Jacob almost made it to the end, he fell asleep in my arms about 10:30 pm. He had such a blast!
Last Friday, July 2, I took Kaelyn in to get her counts checked. Her Hermaticrit (red blood cell count) was lower than it has ever been - 19.8. So, we spent the day at the hospital getting a blood transfusion. It is amazing what a difference it makes in her energy level! She has been trying to walk and scoot around since Friday. I think she will be walking soon if we keep having her practice! And boy does she want to practice!
Well, I have to make this posting short, Kaelyn is calling.
Love to all.
