1st Day of Chemo

Today was Kenzi's first day of chemotherapy. She received 5 different types of drugs through IV. Some were chemo drugs and some were the counteract the side effects. She tolerated it very well so far, but this is all new, so we will see as we go. Tomorrow she will receive 2 more drugs and then have about 2 weeks to recover from this round. At the end of 2 weeks if all is well we will start with a new batch of different drugs over a 5 day period and again have about a 2 week recovery period before we repeat the whole cycle all over again. 

We will continue to take it one day at a time and appreciate good days when we have them. Kenzi still has her spunk and is always making us and the doctors and nurses laugh. The staff here is amazing and we have such a great support team. (Below is Kenzi making slime and a lava lamp with one of the staff.)

We are so thankful for all your continued prayers and messages. Please continue to pray for minimal side effects as Kenzi continues with treatment. Please pray for our kids and family at home and please pray for rest for us here, as it has been a long week.

Even youths grow tired and weary, and young men stumble and fall; but those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint. - Isaiah 40:30-31

    One dose of chemo in! Love her smile in these photos, and pray she will have more smiling moments through the next couple weeks of feeling ill! Praying for strength and comfort for your family!

Day 3

 It's the third day since this all started, but it feels like a lifetime. I had intended to post a small update earlier today, but now all those things that I was gonna say feel so unimportant. We were able to take Kenzi out onto a rooftop patio to enjoy the sunshine and as we were there the oncologist came with some news: It is cancer.  They don't like to use that word with kids, because childhood cancer is very different than adults and kids are super resilient, so when we explained it to Kenzi we avoided it and used the word "mass". No matter the term, it's a part of our lives now. We don't have any words, our hearts are just broken. We will hopefully learn more next week; what type of mass it is and how to best treat it. The plan is to send Kenzi for a PET scan on Wednesday to find out if it's spread or not. The oncologist is very optimistic, but it's still too much to process. Kenzi is a rockstar! She's feeling good and taking everything in st

It has a name.

 Sunday was a "quiet" day. Wes left that morning to go see the kids in Vernon and Kenzi and I hung out. She's super excited to play Minecraft and I actually had to drag her outside to sit on the patio with me. We had a movie night and we really felt God's peace that evening, so thanks to everyone praying for that.  Yesterday was hard. We had a meeting with the doctors. Her mass is called a ewing sarcoma, which is a type of bone cancer. The plan is to start chemo this Friday. Until then, they will be doing a lot of baseline tests. Yesterday she had a kidney function test, today is a bone marrow biopsy, which she will be put to sleep for and tomorrow is the dreaded PET scan to see if it has spread anywhere else in the body. Please pray that it has stayed in the chest cavity. Thursday will be a long meeting where they will lay out the "roadmap" of our treatment plan. They say to expect it to take the next year.  To be honest, it's too much to take. I don

1 Year

Today marks one year that our lives changed forever. On April 14, 2021 Kenzi was flown to BC Children's Hospital when they found a giant tumor in her chest. 2 days later they confirmed it was cancer and a week later, after many more tests, she was starting chemotherapy. We are so grateful to be on the other side of treatment now, but it's not without its many scars. Looking back somedays, it feels surreal and we can't even believe it happened. Other times, the emotions are still so raw that the tears won't stop flowing.  We survived treatment by living one day at a time. From April to January, Kenzi spent 276 days away from home; 123 of those, were actually in the hospital and 50 of them were spent in Toronto. Kenzi was home in Vernon for only 13 days during treatment. Our family was separated a lot while we tried to figure out how to live in 2 completely different worlds. Childhood cancer is every parent's nightmare and it was made that much more difficult by being
