Diagnosis

Kate's bone marrow results came back this afternoon and she has been diagnosed with pre-B ALL. This is a subtype of leukemia. It is hard to believe that our sweet little girl that was running around giggling last week has luekemia this week!
Our med flight was approved by insurance and we are heading back to Atlanta tomorrow at noon. We will be transported directly to Egelston, the children's hospital in Atlanta. Kate's chemotherapy will begin on Wednesday we will take it day by day after that. Right now we are just trying to breathe...

Carolyn,

I found your blog through Carly's blog...I can't believe what you're going through with your little Kate. I couldn't help but tear up as I read your last few entries. We will keep your family in our prayers every day. Hang in there...

I hadn't checked your blog for awhile and when I got on here today and read your latest entries I was so surprised and so sad. She is a gorgeous little girl and I know she'll be okay. She's got so many people loving her and two parents who will do anything to help her. You and Jason and the little ones are in my prayers. You are a strong woman and I know you will be a great support to your daughter. Take care... Love you Deb

Dan called me from work this afternoon to tell me to read your blog...I hadn't checked it for awhile and didn't realize what had happened with Kate. There is a little 3 year old girl in our ward here who was just diagnosed with leukemia a few weeks ago. Her parents are here for B-school, and her older sister is in Adam's primary class. The boys have been praying for her, and collecting pennies diligently for their school penny drive to support the leukemia and lymphoma society, hoping it will help Izzy. Her parents created a blog about her to help keep friends and family updated on her treatment: izzycostley.blogspot.com

We love you!

It is no secret that I have a very deep and personal relationship with God. I have pushed and resisted that relationship this past year through all the bullshit I have had to go through living with Herpes but once again, God is bigger than my stubbornness and broke through that outbreak cold sore and all I had Genital Herpes. For me personally, hearing over and over how I am not good enough has really invaded my mind in the worst way possible. I completely shut down and I was just waking up like is this how life going to end this temporary herpes outbreak “fuck everybody with herpes if you know what I mean” but let's be honest here...
It is a cowardly to say no to herbal medicine. It is fear based. And it is dishonest to what my heart wants. Don't build a wall around yourself because you are afraid of herbals made or taking a bold step especially when it's come to health issues and getting cure. So many young men/ women tell me over and over that Dr Itua is going to scam me but I give him a try to today I feel like no one will ever convince me about herbal medicine I accept Dr Itua herbal medicine because it's cure my herpes just two weeks of drinking it and i have been living for a year and months now I experience outbreak no more, You can contact him if you need his herbal medicine for any such diseases like, Herpes, Hepatitis, HIV, Epilepsy, Infertility, Love Spell,. Email..drituaherbalcenter@gmail.com then what's app.+2348149277967.... My advice to any sick men/women out there is simple... Be Always an open book. Be gut wrenching honest about yourself, your situation, and what you are all about. Don't hold anything back. Holding back will get you nowhere...maybe a one way ticket to lonelyville and that is NOT somewhere you want to be. So my final truth...and I'm just starting to grasp this one..
