Coming to an end...



We are so proud of our little Angels. Katelyn has grown and stood strong through so much, and we are so proud of her! Her fevers and symptoms are gone and she ends her antibiotics on Sunday. If all goes as planned and her counts continue to rise, we should be able to take her home on Monday! We are soooo excited! Katelyn is very excited to go home as well! She wants to "pet Shampu"(pet shamu)!!! We've been talking about Sea World for weeks and we are all very excited! As soon as her hickman is out we are running to Sea World to buy season passes so we can go all summer long! I can't wait! She's saying all kinds of things, and talking in short sentenses. "Oh, my goodness!" is one of her favorites! "I take a walk please", "I play with Zara please", and the list goes on and on. We are so proud and impressed by her. She's not even two and she has endured and learned so much in the last 6 months. We have a poster board with photos of Kate since the beginning of her stay, up until now, and it's incredible to see her change through our stay. Again, I can't say it enough, we are VERY proud of her! Kiera is incredible as well! She's also growing and changing every day. She is smiling all the time, and cooing and talking to us. She tracks me all over the room. It is amazing to see her change and learn as well. I know Kate and Kiera will be the best of friends as they grow up. Kate already wants Kiera to paint and eat with her. I can't wait (but, really, I can wait) to see them interact as they grow up together!
We will definitely be going to the Celebration of Champions on May 16th! Anyone who wants to join is more than welcome. We will also be planning a birthday party/ Celebate Kate party in July. Everyone is welcome to come celebrate with us then! I'll post more as I plan it!
We are so thankful for all of this to finally be coming to an end. We are SO thankful that our Katelyn has done so well and fought so hard through all of this. Our almost two year old beat cancer! WOW! Thank You God! Thank You Friends & Family for your support and prayers! Thank You Hem/Onc for taking AMAZING care of our Angel, and for keeping her happy and strong. We are forever endebted to you all!
THANK YOU!
Love,
Krystal
