Lucky. A lot of people have described our cancer experience as “lucky”. And I suppose they are right, in a way. I really do not think I will ever say to someone whose kid has cancer or has survived cancer that they are lucky. It is not lucky to be in this childhood cancer world. I do not feel blessed or that it was a gift. I hate it. I would gladly trade our experiences so that Keegan would never have any side effects, or memories of pain and suffering, or memories of friends lost, or most importantly, for just one mother to have her child in her arms today.

All the friends we have “because of cancer” I would gladly give back if it meant that we never met them, but the children were alive, healthy without pain and suffering.

I think it is time to stop updating Keegan’s website. I know it hasn’t been a year, and I told myself I would wait a year, but I just do not have it in me any longer. Things are going very well for Keegan and I think we (meaning me) just need to pull back and take stock. If you want to keep up with us, Mike, Amanda, Ariel and I are all on Facebook.





You can add me as a friend and then find the rest of my family from there. I suppose from time to time I will come back here to let people know how things are. And I plan on updating the site with a list of all the organizations that have helped throughout the years and such. The goal now is advocacy for childhood cancer research and support for families in the battle right now. We are forever grateful for the people who loved us and supported us throughout the years and I promise that my mission now is to pay that love and support forward to other families in need.

Please do not stop praying for Keegan.

Thank you,
Audra, Keegan’s mom
GOD IS IN CONTROL!!!
GOD‘S GOT US!!!
