Hello All!
Tonight’s post won’t be nearly as long as last night’s because frankly this mama is pooped! Last night was incredible. We are still getting messages and pictures today of teams supporting Kayleigh in their purple. If you have purple team pictures please feel free to post them here on the page. We really love seeing them!
Today Kayleigh finished up radiation treatment #20 of 30. It’s hard to believe we only have 2 weeks left. Please continue to pray big prayers with us that this radiation is eradicating this cancer. We know the doctors say radiation can’t get rid of it but we know God can. We want to storm the gates of heaven with thousands of prayers!!
Kayleigh has felt better today. We changed her dosing today from 1mg in the morning to 1/2mg in the am and another 1/2mg at night. So she is getting the same amount but hopefully this will keep head aches away. So far so good today. She didn’t mention a headache until it was time for another dose – thank you Lord for progress!
We also had lots of fun wrapping presents at RMH before we left. Today is Tim’s birthday and Kayleigh HAD to have everything ready to give daddy tonight. It’s fun to see her so excited to give to someone else for a change!
One super cool thing did happen today. Coach Jojo swung by the house with a big surprise for our girl. See, Jojo coaches more than just softball, she coaches basketball too. Her little 8u basketball team won state this year and many of those girls are also on the softball team. Their team voted to make Kayleigh an honorary member of the basketball team and today their championship rings came in. Can you guess what happened? If you guessed that Coach Jojo delivered Kayleigh her very own big, sparkly, shiny, state champions ring then you get a gold star! Kayleigh was amazed.
Many of you reading at from our softball family. We probably will not be at the ballpark tomorrow. The scorching hot weather really takes a toll on Kayleigh’s body. She is not going to be very happy with our decision but sometimes we have to make hard decisions and keeping her feeling good tops the list! So all you awesome girls in purple, play hard, never give up and post pictures!
Tonight’s prayers requests:
1.) Complete healing this side of heaven!
2.) For the radiation to be doing far more good than the doctors dreamed possible.
3.) For Tim and I to have clear direction for phase 2.
4.) For Kayleigh to get back to feeling good all the time and to be able to wean off the steroids.
