Today marks 1 month

 I can't believe a whole month has past since our world was turned upside down. It feels way shorter, but on the other hand, it feels like a lifetime. Now that we are able to leave the hospital in between chemotherapy treatments, life feels a little normal. If normal meant I had only one child, a husband who worked out of town and we lived in a skyrise apartment in downtown Burnaby. It is very different than our normal, but it's nice to have our own bedrooms, our own kitchen with a dinner table to eat at and the most amazing views! 

Kenzi is in good spirits and feeling well after this round, just a bit of motion sickness. Her hair started falling out about a week and a half ago, and to be honest, it's one of the hardest parts. There's no more pretending life is normal anymore, the world will know now. We went to a wig store today where they measured her and she will get a free wig, but it will take about 8 weeks. If anyone has hair they want to donate, let me know and I will pass along their info to you. The lady who worked there was amazing and is a cancer survivor herself.

Now that we've completed a full cycle of chemo, it gives us an idea of how Kenzi responds and Wes and I will try to set up a bit of a schedule where we takes turns going back and forth. Over this past month, I can count on one hand how many days I've spent with Linden, Ayden and Beckham, which is heartbreaking to me. 

We have 2 more full cycles of chemotherapy (4 more rounds) until surgery and possibly, radiation and then finish off with 4 more cycles. We are praying the tumor will be small enough that she won't need the radiation, which will add more time onto her treatment plan. Please join us in praying for this. Please pray that Kenzi doesn't lose her fun spirit during this time and that we will find a healthy balance between Vancouver and Vernon. We appreciate all your love and support and continue to feel uplifted by you all, so thank you from the bottom of our hearts.💞


Peace I leave with you; my peace I give to you. Not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your hearts be troubled, neither let them be afraid. ~John 14:27

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
