How we got here, we're still not sure...

 After noticing Kenzi seemed short of breath a couple times Wes pulled out an old stethescope and had a listen. He couldn't hear anything on the left, even her heart, which was strange. I took her into the ER to get checked the next morning, Wednesday, April 14. Her hemoglobin was low and after taking x-rays they found out the entire left side of her lungs weren't functioning. They continued with a CT, called in the pediatrician and by 2:00pm they told me to have Wes bring some bags and we were off on an air ambulance jet to BC Children's Hospital. There is a mass of some sorts in Kenzi's left chest that is pushing her heart and trachea to the right. We are currently in the ICU so they can monitor her closely. She had a chest biopsy yesterday (Thursday) afternoon and they inserted a picc line at the same time. Wes arrived that same day after getting our other 3 kids settled and got here just a couple minutes after Kenzi came back from the surgery. She is breathing well and is in good spirits most of the time. We are now just waiting for results to see where we go from here. We are still in shock over everything and have so many questions and even more tears, but we are putting our hope and trust in God. We are so thankful for all our amazing friends and family, who have stepped up to help us, reached out in many ways and are lifting us up in prayer. We know we have an army praying for Kenzi and we are so thankful for each and every one of you.

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
