Kyle was first diagnosed with Pre B ALL (acute lymphoblastic leukemia) on February 2nd of 2000, having just turned 3 years old. This is the day that will forever have changed our lives!

After 3 years and 2 months of chemotherapy, Kyle finished his treatments on March 28th of 2003.

On May 18th, 2004 (14 months off therapy) his leukemia relapsed in his bone marrow! He then endured 3 more years of intense chemotherapy.
Kyle officially went *off thearpy* AGAIN on March 28th of 2007!

The heartbreak continues, on October 8th, 2008 we received the horrible news after a routine check up that Kyle has relapsed once again in his bone marrow.

Kyle received and unrelated cord blood transplant on March 11th of 2009. Thank you little baby in Houston, Texas born in January of 2008.

On April 14th, 2009, we received the awesome news that Kyle is 100 percent donor cells, and again on his Day +95 biopsy, thank you Lord!

Kyle earned his beautiful angel wings on July 18th, 2009

Kyle(12) is survived by his mom, brother Ty(19) and sister Riley(11). Kyle passed away from IPS (idiopathic pneumonia syndrome) in the PICU at Children's Hospital, Denver.


I live in gratitude...

For all that I have given and for all that I have received.
For the beauty in my life and for the sorrows I have known.
For the challenges I've faced and for just how far I have come.
For my courage and my gifts and and for the wisdom I've aquired.
For the journey and experience and for the kindness on the way.
For my dreams and my desires and for the trust that I have learned.
For the joy and inspiration and for my purpose newly found.
For the miracles unfolding and for what tomorrow holds.
For all the love I've ever known and for that I've yet to give.
For my friends, my home, and family and for the time to find myself.
For abundance adn simplicity and for the grace and opportunity.
For the chance to make a difference and for the faith to know I will.

Wow, for the longest time I could not remember my password to get into this account. I wasn't sure if it was a sign for me or not, however today I did it!

So much has happened over the years and I cannot believe we are approaching five years with Kyle. I'd like to say not a day goes by that I don't think of him, although strangely enough I do think a day or two has slipped by from time to time.

Tyler bought his own place this year and still works as a DBA for a company his dad is employed at. His girlfriend from OK also has moved out here this year and they are building a very nice life together. I did have a recent scare as Ty took to riding motorcycles this year. I received the dreaded phone call that "Ty's been hit"...after a very migraine filled evening, he was lucky enough to escape with some scrapes and bruises (the bike was totalled however - I say with a smile across my face).

Riley and I are still doing well. I too bought a house this year. Just a cute little house within walking distance to my parents and Kyles resting place. I have so much work to get done on it as far as unpacking and settling in goes.

Riley will be a freshman next year (which reminds me it would be Kyle's senior year). She is doing well and growing into such a beautiful and caring young lady.

Just wanted to update our lives quickly as I am at work. I do check in and read the guestbook, it's always comforting to know others still think about Kyle and our family. He does have a facebook page so that seems easier these days as his friends and family tend to post messages there too.

Continue to hold your loved ones tight...

Kyle's mom
