O my dear friend.... I had to kinda laugh about your description of Riley and Ty! soooo normal! Sometimes THAT normal can really suck tho. I can't even tell you how many years Davis was angry with me and said some pretty terrible things! Darrel? He downright ignores me. He wants to be independent so bad that he goes the extreme of keeping away both thoughts and presence.

I so know the pain of having one of your kids go to college and tell you pretty much absolutely NOTHING, never share one ion of their feelings, and think if they share they just committed some kind of sin! I have BOYS too! I heard that girls are worse with the hot/cold love/hate stuff. If I can give any small word of advice its this..... One day, they will say something to you, and you'll think O M G they really DID listen, they really DID care, they really DO respect my feelings and opinions!

The first time it happened to me I teared up and almost had a heart attack right there and then. I thought... there really is hope!

HUGS and more HUGS. Just so you know, I GET IT about not wanting to look at movies, pictures and stuff. The memories in your head are painful enough. I pray that peace encompasses your family and that things get a bit calmer in mind and spirit.

A wise woman at work told me a few weeks ago to "feel what you want, when you want and don't let anyone dictate what or how it should be. Your grief is YOURS" Kiley's is Kileys, Ty's is TYs and hopefully they find their way forward with your love and continued support.

Having just lost my Mom, it brings into reality how much a loved one dying changes your thoughts, the way you look at ordinary things, and lets you see how much people all around you waste precious time with loved ones.... arguing, ignoring, unloving actions.

Our family was one of the lucky ones - why my son survived, who knows? I can only think God has some plan I'm not privvy to. Unfinished business?

Kyle.... he made an impact on me, a woman who lives in MN.... You... you made an impact on my life too. Your unconditional love and caring. Kyle was a large piece of you, he made you the lovely person you are. He lives on in your every actions. You will find your way doing what you should. Your kids are still young, your job is being available for them. One day, they will be older (like mine) and then I do believe you will find that nitch you can call your own. For now, don't look too hard, let it come to you, watch for the signs laid out, keep your mind open. Your plan may not be Gods, your timelime may not be his either. As for now, you are a pretty darn good Mom, and thats the hardest job of all.

I think of you and Kyle everyday, even now. I check his caringbridge page about once a week, hoping you are doing ok...don't ever be tempted to think that he is not remembered. He still does have an amazing impact on my life (and I'm just a stranger who never even met him). I can truly say that you and your son changed my life.

I'm so sorry for the lingering sadness you feel, and yet I know that it is testament to the love you as a mother have for your son. It is fitting...and it is OK that you mourn - you have every right in the world.

I wish for so much for you and your family. I want you to find peace, happiness, and love. And most of all I want you to know that Kyle is a miracle and he will NEVER be forgotten.

Hey Denise...I know that you know I have been praying for you. I can't believe it has been 2 years since our Scott & your Kyle left here to grace heaven. Can you imagine the fun they are having, being healthy and with Jesus? I think you know I lost my mom May 13. I truly didn't think it would be this hard for me. She was 89 and ready. Alert until almost the last moment. My sons were able to make it here from Montana & Pittsburgh. Less than 48 hours after they arrived, she breathed her last. I held her hand as she took hold of Jesus hand. And of course, I tried to grab it back. I try hard to think about her healthy & in heaven, dancing with Scott & my dad. As hard is it was to let her go, I then recall my brother & his family and you and your family, having to let go of ones so young. Then I feel selfish. Oh my. Come quickly Lord Jesus! Love you Denise. Hoping we can get together soon

Hello,
I never know what the right thing to say and often I am putting my foot in my mouth so I apologize I don't sign on here often. However, Kyle will NEVER be forgotten and as his Angelversary is upon us I know he would want nothing more than Riley to have a spectacular birthday and for his life to be remembered, not his death. He led such a great life despite cancer because he had/has such a devoted family. I am praying for you all.

Dear denise, I knew your son from his years at coyote ridge and westlake since about the 3rd grade. From what I knew about him your son was a very sweet kid. When I heard that his cancer had relapsed I had the highest hopes for him. So when he passed I was crushed. I didn't even get to go to his funeral. I no you and your family are going through a lot of pain but I know that Kyle is watching all of us. His wings lay over all of our shoulders and I'm sure his wings extend furthest to u and your children. Kyle inspires me to push myself, to keep fighting and to never give up. Kyle will forever live on in our memories and our hearts.

I am still way long to go...I need more $$$ to be able to get him one. I am praying for this and hope my prayer will be answered soon. Again I am happy for you, I love you and always remember that I think of you always. Congrats! God bless you.

Thank you for continuing your journal after Kyle's passing. I like to come and read how you all are doing and read to remind myself to appreciate my family and to not get mad at the little things kids sometimes do that drive you crazy. I have a 12yr old boy, a 10yr old boy and a 7yr old daughter and I can't even comprehend what the pain of losing them would be like. I have followed along here since before Kyle's passing and I pray for you and the kids to have better days as time goes on even though we know the scar runs deep and will always be there. I look forward to seeing the headstone that you have so strived to make perfect for Kyle. Thank you for posting for those of us who keep checking to see if there is anything we can do for you. I will continue to pray for you and your family.

Denise, I still "check in" from time to time. My heart still breaks for you and Kyle, Ty and Riley. I met you on Mary Kate's journey, and I NEVER thought Kyle would lose his battle here on earth. You are such a loving, wonderful mother. I kept up with your posts through Kyle's battle, and it was amazing and so heartbreaking at the same time.
What did I do to deserve to have my child make it through? I thank God every day, but I still want to know how to stop this from taking kids away from their parents. You have faith and love and grace. I still pray for you. I wish Kyle and Mary Kate could have met. I know they would have been friends when I read about him.

I hope the house hunting goes well and I am glad to hear that the switch in schools went well for both you and Riley. Praying Ty can find some peace...sweet boy. You guys remain in my thoughts and prayers.

I still follow your journey and pray for your family Denise.. You are a true inspiration... Kyle was very blessed to have such a wonderful mommy who gave her life up to take care of him with out hesitation. I think a perfect job for you would be to write a book.. You express your feelings and write so well... Sending tons of positive thoughts and prayers your way!

Hi Denise.

It is good to check up and see how you all have been doing. It was good seeing some of those wonderful Kyle pictures again :-) I'm glad to hear that Riley is doing well in her new school. How nice to have a place that is "hers" alone, to make her own mark. Sending my love to you all...
love, suzanne

It was so incredibly good to talk to you today; I knew I missed you, but I didn't really realize how much until I heard your voice...sinus-y as it was! :) Just always remember...you do things at your own pace, and ignore some of those "helpful" ideas that get thrown at you. You are the only one who knows what is right for you at any given time, and you're the only one who gets to decide. Except for when it comes to calling me...then you should do it often, even if you don't feel like it. Cause I kinda like ya! :)♥

Denise,
You don't know me...but I followed Kyles journey for quite a long time and I still mourn your beautiful boy. A couple of months ago, I dropped my stepson off for an overnight visit with a friend of his. When that friend opened the door he was just the spitting image of a photo you have of Kyle. I got tears in my eyes and thought to myself, "that young man will always be with me". My fiance and I are both starting the process of joining the bone marrow donor program in honor of Kyle. You and Kyle have changed my life...and I think of both of you every single day.

I wish you light and love and peace in the new year. Please know that there are people out here, thinking of you and praying for you every day.

Happy Birthday Kyle!! I can only imagine how wonderful birthdays are in heaven. Denise, I am so happy to hear that you got that live Christmas tree you wanted. You really deserve it and I think it is great that you have started therapy again. I go once a week and it keeps me sane. Your family is so loved by so many and I hope that you always remember how much Kyle touched so many lives, including those he never even met. Only amazing kids can do that.

Dear Kyle,

Today marks your first birthday celebrated in Heaven...how sad that is for those that miss you so much here on earth. You would have turned the big 13 today and what a birthday it would have been--you know your mom loves celebrating and making things special for you kids.

I saw your mom today and she looked good...she is doing her best to cope and get through every day, moving forward one moment and one step at a time. She has her good days and bad days, and I'm sure she always will...your family's losing you was devastating and they will never be the same...but they are strong and they will go on and I know you'd want that for them. They treasure their special memories of you now, and someday, they will see you again when you are reunited, wearing your beautiful angel wings welcoming them to Heaven.

I think of you and your family every day and pray for their peace. Please send your mom signs that you're watching over her, Ty, and Riley as they miss you so much!

No words can truly express the sadness I feel for you and your family for the loss of your son, Kyle. I sit here thinking about what these next couple of years will be like for us, after having my son's leukemia diagnosed now for the third time. He is currently receiving chemotherapy and will soon endure radiation and a bone marrow transplant. That road is an unsure path for us and I am not quite ready yet to face it, at least not until January. I can truly say I can only look at today. I pray each day God gives me strength to make it until tomorrow. I want to encourage you to write your memories in a book for you to cherish always and remember those good times you shared. I also pray you to cherish the moments you have with your other precious children as I am sure you do. We may not know at this moment, why our kids have to face these burdens but someday I believe we will understand the reasons. Keep strong and know that you will be in my prayers.

My dear friend Denise, This is my first visit to this site. As I read your journal entries I am crying. For you and your whole family. I am truly sad for you. I never imagined this for you as we grew up together. I'm sorry I never have met your children. I'm glad you have great support.(That includes Ted). Every day I hug my little girl more and harder and I think of your pain. I can't imagine what you have gone through. You are in my thoughts every day. I am praying for your strength. I don't know what I would do. I love you Denise. I can't say sorry enough. Kyle has a mission in Heaven. He is training to be a guardian angel for someone else on earth. He is still with you. You will be with him again one day. It is up to God and he really needed him. You did too, I know. Your journal entries are so well said and honest. God Bless.....your loving friend, Nicole

Dear Kyle's Family,
I came across your website on caring bridge, I just want you all to know that you all are in my prayers. The loss that you all have suffered... well words could never say how sorry and sad i am to hear of this. May God give you srength to take each day at a time. I have a 5 yr old who was diagnosed with high risk T cell ALL, he has been in treatment now for 11 months. He has a long road ahead of him. At least another 2 and a half yrs of treatment. My son has still not yet reached remission which scares me to the level where I just can not comprehend. I Know you understand me when I say that. I will keep you and your family in my prayers. please feel free to contact me if you ever need a listening ear, I find that sometimes speaking to Moms who are going through somewhat the same things can help. tahir_qudwa@caringbridge

Dear Denise-This letter was posted on Sammie Hartsfeilds caring bridge page. She is a little girl who passed away from cancer about a week ago. I thought this letter would bring you comfort.
A Letter from Above
Dear Mom,

I know this is a rough time for you. So I will be as gentle as I can be. First of all, thank you for so many tears, particularly those shared with another that you love. They are a gift to me, a precious tribute to your investment in me. As you do your mourning, do it at your pace only. Don't let anybody suggest that you do your grief work on their timetable. Do whatever it takes to face directly the reality of what has happened, even though you may need to pause frequently and yearn for my return. Do this with courage and my blessings.

Know that sometimes inertia is the only movement possible. Give your best to keeping a balance between remembering me and renewing your commitments to life. It's O.K. with me if you go through minutes, hours and even days not thinking about me. I know that you'll never forget. Loosening me and grabbing hold of a new meaning is a delicate art. I'm not sure if one comes before the other or not, maybe it's a combination.

Be with people who accept you as you are. Mention my name out loud, and if they don't make a hasty retreat, they're probably excellent candidates for friendship. If, by a remote possibility, you think that there is anything that you could have done for me and didn't, I forgive you, as my Lord does. Resentment does not abide here, only love. You know how people sometimes ask you how many children you have? Well, I'm still yours and you are still my parents. Always acknowledge that with tenderness, unless to do so would fall on insensitive ears or would be painful to you. I know how you feel inside. To be included as your child honors me. Read, even though your tears anoint the page. There is an immense library here and I have a card. In Henri Nowens' "Out of Solitude", he writes, "The friend who can be silent with us in a moment of despair and confusion, who can stay with us in an hour of grief and bereavement, who can tolerate not healing, and face with us the reality of our powerlessness, that is a friend who cares." Mom and Dad, I don't know where you are spiritually now, but rest assured that our God is not gone. The still small voice you hear in your heart is His voice. The warmth that sometimes enfolds you is Him. The tears that tremble just beneath your heartbeat is Him. He is in you, as I am. I want you to know that I am O.K. I have sent you messages to ease your pain, they come in the form of flowers that bloom out of season, birds singing, voices and visions and sometimes through your friends and even strangers who volunteer as angels. Stay open but don't expect the overly dramatic. You will get what you need and it may be simply an internal peace. You are not crazy, you have been comforted. Please seek out people bereaved longer than you. They are tellers of truth, and if they have done their work, are an inspiration and a beacon of hope whose pain lessened dramatically. And one more wisdom before I close. There are still funny happenings in our world. It delights me to no end when I hear your spontaneous, uncontrolled laughter. That, too, will come in due time. Today, I light a candle for you. Joined with your candle, let their light shine above the darkness. Affectionately,
Your Angel Child
Warmly-Alia

Hi Denise. One day, you'll wake up, and know exactly what your plan will be and perhaps it'll bring some peace to your heart. But I definitely like the idea that for now your plan is to get up and exist, move forward and breath. So glad to hear Ty is in counseling and hopefully Riley is young enough to go forward and encompass her normal activities. I pray for peace in your home and your hearts

Each day you address is a "plan"...no matter what you may
or may not do in that given day...it's a "plan"...this is
the plan that will carry you forward to the day when you
will feel less pain and be so proud to have called Kyle
your son....a big smile will replace those tears...your
family will be "whole" once again....with much Love...

Hi Denise... we are trying to get the word out about Childhood cancer so we can STOP IT. I'm including a link below to vote for THE DOCTORS to represent us!

Let's get the word out! There is a movement in the pediatric cancer world to get the hit TV show "The Doctors" to do a show on childhood cancer awareness. Currently, we are in the #1 spot and nearing 27,000 votes!

We need to be heard, so let's bombard their site with votes. Please go to "The Doctors" website and VOTE, VOTE, VOTE! Here's how:

1. Go to http://www.thedoctorstv.com/produce/home

2. Register... this takes a few moments to "log-in".
You need to CHECK YOUR EMAIL after you fill out your information for the link to activate your log-in THAN you can vote. I learned that the hard way :

3. Click on "Vote for Ideas".

4. Click on "Most Popular".

5. VOTE for "Childhood Cancer Awareness
Month".

6. (Optional) Add a comment about any
child you know of who has cancer or has
battled cancer.

"One Voice One Voice = Many Voices."

Together we will be heard.

I am in awe of the strength you you have shown here. My daughter is one of the lucky ones, but because of her journey with cancer, she lives life now with deeper understanding of and empathy for those who have walked with cancer in their lives. We are anguished for your loss. Please know that we carry you, Kyle and his siblings in our hearts.

I just went to the Team Unite website and purchased at "For The Kids" teddy bear in memory of your beautiful boy. I was not able to indicate that with my purchase but I wanted you to know why I got bear from them. You and your beautiful children are in my thoughts and prayers. I am sure that Kyle is with you everywhere you go now. I bet you will notice him finding ways to say hi if you look around :). My sweet boys (my dogs who passed away a year ago only 8 weeks apart) find ways to say hello all the time. Take care of yourself and your children.

Denise. I know that the world around you has kept on moving even with the loss of Kyle, and I'm sure that seems unfair and painful to you. I have no idea how you just pick up and move along in the flow of life now, but I know that you are doing it as I write this, to the best of you ability as you mourn his absence. Somebody mentioned Mary in your guestbook, and I'm sure she mourned terribly the loss of her son, savior, and inspiration. Her life was then spent teaching his teachings, and waiting to see Him again. Praying for your strength and patience here, thinking of you, Jen

I can't imagine your pain after watching your son suffer so much. The cancer world is not a fun place to be and with an ending like this it is completely maddening.

Justin compares his new friends to Kyle to see how they will measure up. Of course, none have been able to fill Kyle's shoes. Kyle created some awfully big shoes to fill!

Denise, I remember Kyle from times our families were both inpatient at TCH. We've been on IM#2 for ALL during this summer and I didn't hear that your family had lost him. It is with fear for my own little one and tears for yours that I write this message. I hardly knew him, or you, but my heart breaks alongside yours.

Family, friends, faith...these are the things that will
help you thru the days ahead...I know it feels like the
pain will never go away, but it will...this will pass and
one day you will be able to smile when thinking of your
beautiful boy...just know so many "strangers" are still
here praying for all of you...with God's blessings...

Denise...you continue to be in my thoughts & prayers. Thank you for continuing your journal. My brother doesn't talk much about how he is feeling after loosing Scott...yet I am sure he & his family feels exactly as you do...thanks for putting it into words for me. You are in good company when you say this is the hardest thing a mother will have to experience...Mary, Jesus mother, was just like you! You are amazing...keep your faith, be strong, and love your other kids with as much passion and strength as you gave to Kyle...they need you.
Love

I can't imagine how you feel. Each day, I wonder about if I will be in your position. People ask me how my daughter is, and i recount stories like yours. She may be good now, but she will have to live with this for the rest of her life. And like Kyle could have to fight it more than once.

Each entry I read of yours is through tears. My heart goes out to you. Wish I could make it better, but I don't even know what to say.

you can follow our journey if you like, but if you don't, I'll understand. www.isarose.wordpress.com

I checked in to see how you are doing. I pray for you daily - you and your children, too. Death is VERY hard - it hits all of us differently. I sometimes look at the shadow box I made for my granddaughters and I know that I wonder if they can see that I remember them, cry for them, and miss them - even though it has been more than a year. Prayers for comfort for all of you.

Denise and Family,
You may not remember me but my name is Kelley. You met me at TCH (I was a nursing student on BMT) I just was looking at my father caringbridge web-page, he died about 10 months ago. I still check his page because looking at what people wrote to him and said about him still touch my heart to this day. While looking at his page Kyle popped into my head and I visited his page for the first time and I am very saddened to hear Kyle's news.
Denise your son and family made such an impacted on me. He was a fighter and I am so happy to have met him. You DO have a great angel looking after you and he will never be forgotten.

Thinking of you and Kyle this morning; and sending a little love your way.
Hoping the kids are doing all right being back at school Hopefully it is helpful to them to be back around other kids, and somewhere that keeps them busy. How are you handling it with them being at school during the day? Maybe it is helpful for you to have a bit of time to yourself.

love and hugs to you all,

Dear Denise and family..I have followed Kyles story for a long time, and I also hoped and prayed he would be OK. I understand your pain, for I lost my beautiful daughter Julie ( and her boyfriend Joey ) in a car accident 8 years ago. The pain is always there, the tears just a song, a memory away. But, you will laugh one day, the pain eases a bit although you don't believe it ever will right now. I miss my Julie everyday and a minute doesn't go by that she doesn't cross my mind. The signs she sends me are truly amazing and I know Kyle is with you and you have already had signs from him. I like to believe that my daughter isn't way above the clouds, but right next to me, like she's just in another room. That thought has carried me through these years and I know she is with God. She died suddenly on a cold, dark road. I always felt the guilt that I wasn't there with her, after all, I was there to see her take her first breath, not not there when she took her last. Was she alone, was she scared, did she call my name?? I just want you to know, yes, grieve in your way, your time. Tell your friends to mention Kyle's name. Share a story about him. That's what will help you to heal, although a piece of your heart and soul is with and will forever be with Kyle. Take care and know you did all you could for your wonderful little man. With caring, Cindy

Thinking of your family today! Denise, you are completely right. It is okay to be where ever you are with your feeling and grief. Don't let anyone rush you. There is no right or wrong way to do it, just the way that comes to you. I will pray for Ty and Riley as they return to school and for strenght for all of you. Whenever I think of Kyle I just picture his huge smile with that long blonde hair. Take care and know we are thinking of you, Sandra and Austin www.caringbridge.org/visit/austinfitzgerald

Thank you for sharing your heart. Just recently getting back from Colorado Springs/Denver area - I couldn't think of a more beautiful place to be. Kyle left his footprint of LIFE, he left his imprint of LIVING. He accomplished more in is short years than many of us have in our decades. He continues to make a difference in peoples lives and that is something pretty darn awesome.

From my nursing experience and coming from my medical brain-type personality ... Kyle's body and systems became tired, exhausted. It is something you can't predict until treatment and see how their system is going to react - there is no way you could know ahead of time, and everything shouted that Kyle was perfect for transplant - and he was! You did what EVERY Mom would do for their son - you choose to fight for life. You and Kyle wanted LIFE which meant transplant because without transplant, the answer was clear.

The doctors wanted a biopsy to make THEM feel better? I'm sure they are also fighting the why's of Kyle. I think until cancer has definitive answers for treatment, where the treatment doesn't beat the kids down to exhaustion, we will not have the outcomes we need and crave for our kids. It is always the exhaustion that hurts them so.

Denise... I hope you continue to "talk" about Kyle and feel safe to say what you want when you want. I hope our comments bring some comfort and if they cause more pain, please let us know... it is not any of our intent. Peace my friend...

and praying for peace and much love to return to your
hearts...time is truly the "healer"...you never really do
recover from losing a loved one but it does become less
painful and more hopeful...trust me...you will see the
most wonderful signs from Kyle that he is "alright" and
that he is still with you...keep an open mind...you'll see
them in so many different ways...Mary Ellen Mantz

BROOMFIELD, co - Wednesday, August 19, 2009 4:28 AM CDT

Denise and Family,

Thinking of you today and every day. I can't believe it has been a month already since Kyle flew to heaven. I stop over to see him every week. I talk to him and ask him to watch over all of you, to let you know he's there, and to send you strength and peace to make it one more day. And I cry, I just cry.

I think of how now begins the "year of firsts" and how difficult it will be for all of you as these milestones come upon you, from holidays to birthdays and it rips my heart out to think of it. I know he's in a better place and he's not hurting anymore but it just doesn't seem real that this is what has happened. My heart aches for all of you and no one can take away your pain and grief and I'm so sorry for that. I, too, keep thinking if we could just hit 'rewind' and go back to change the outcome or hit 'pause' and leave the story stuck in a better place forever. We would all do it in a second if Kyle could be healthy and well.

To the folks that have been so kind to Denise and her family and those that check up on them here on Kyle's site: please continue coming here to check on them, they will need to know we're still out here and are thinking of them.

Denise, I hope you don't mind my sharing, but for those that weren't able to be at Kyle's service, this had to be the most beautiful service I've ever attended. Huge flower arrangements made with red roses and white flowers were everywhere and he resides in the most beautiful 'vessel' you've ever seen. It is white with gold trim. While standing at the cemetery, I was close enough to it to notice that there are angels on the corners, whose golden wings flank either side of the angels. His final resting place is beautiful. It is on a bit of a hill...it's peaceful and serene with a beautiful view of the Colorado Rocky Mountains. Nearly every time I've been by, there's been a gentle warm breeze blowing. He's also near where our town's fireworks are shot off each year...he will have a fantastic view.

A few weeks ago I brought over a couple of outdoor solar lights to his site so that at night he wouldn't be in the dark. Somehow, that made me feel better, I don't know why. I also noticed that he's surrounded by some of the greatest people in our community that have gone before him. He's in good company for sure and we would expect nothing less than for him to reside in a neighborhood surrounded by the finest folks.

I used to wonder if Denise spoiled her kids, but now I've come to realize that she wasn't 'spoiling' them as much as she was simply pouring her heart and soul into everything that she could do to be the best mom EVER to them. And she is, without a doubt. And little did I know that she was going to have to fit a lifetime's worth of love into 12 short years with Kyle. She did a magnificent job of taking care of him and doing whatever she could for him. All of our children should be so lucky to have a parent half as good as her. Please help to remind her that she didn't fail Kyle, she did the best she could given the circumstances, and no one can deny that.

It was truly an honor to have known Kyle--he was an amazing kid with an unstoppable positive attitude. I hope that what I've learned through all of this is to be a better parent, and to sweat the small stuff less. And frankly, it's almost all small stuff. Life is too short.

And on that day while at the cemetery to honor our brave hero Kyle, we all released red and white balloons. And as we watched them fly away to as far as we could see, tears streamed down my face as I realized that far too many children are up in Heaven waiting to receive one.

Denise, I will always keep you and your family in my thoughts and prayers,

Tammy Nelson
Broomfield, CO U.S.A. - Wednesday, August 19, 2009 1:17 AM CDT

Hi Denise,
So today I was writing names on the little parrots and toucans I hung outside my classroom welcoming my incoming students for the year. Since I had moved rooms at the end of last summer, I had come across the birds that I hadn't used since the year I had Kyle. In fact, I hadn't even cleaned them off since the year I had Kyle. I had my trusty bottle of nail polish remover to wipe away the names of my former students and make room for the new ones. All was going well, and then I came upon Kyle's name. Remembering it had been a month since he earned his wings; that the school year was starting up again and there will not be any teachers this year to see that unique, amazing, and unforgettable smile that was Kyle's, and the fact that I was 'wiping away the names'...I broke down. I couldn't wipe away his name. Kyle's parrot is now in my lesson plan book along with the paper from his memorial, his obituarty in the Enterprise, as well as the article that was written about him after he earned those wings. He's a constant inspiration for me and anytime I'm having one of those 'ahhh days' as the school year starts up...all I have to do is remember that smile. Remember his strength, his courage, his inability to give up or give in. I know he would have been a seventh grader this year, but he'll always been a 'part of my class' in memory and spirit.

You, Ty, Riley, and your extended family are in my thoughts and prayers often. Please tell Riley she's ALWAYS welcome to stop in and visit my classroom this coming year! :)

Our hearts, thoughts, and prayers are still with you in this incredibly hard time. I can't even imagine what it is like or how you are doing it. And I am so sorry, still, for what you are experiencing. Kyle is still the "hot topic" at our house as we remember all the great stories we have of him. The current Kyle saying going on around here is "it smells like butthole in here". Yep, that is Justin's fav!

broomfield, co usa - Tuesday, August 18, 2009 9:19 AM CDT

Although I wish there was not a need, I hope it helps somewhat to write it out. My heart breaks for you, but your feelings for Kyle are so beautiful. I know exactly what you're talking about with those whispers; we do so cherish those, don't we.

Don't ever give yourself deadlines for how you're supposed to be feeling by a certain time, because there is not a set timeline. This is YOUR grief, YOUR journey--nobody else's--and nobody else can say where you should be on the journey, and when. It's a whole different life from what you had before, and there's SO much to process about that. And much of it smacks you right in the face because it is nothing like what it was supposed to be. The only advice I can give is, be very, very kind to yourself and surround yourself with others who are also kind to you. If there are some who are not kind, let them go--at least for the time being.

Just know I love you and I'm always here whenever you want to talk.

o Denise..... I wish I had the wisdom of words right now. I pray that some kind of peace comes to you and your family as this horrific journey continues. I find it beautiful that Kyle speaks to you, altho its not what you want - you want him HERE with you. There is no sense to a senseless cancer. There is no answers to an answerless cancers outcome. I can see where you'd feel like you failed Kyle - your a MOM who loves a beautiful piece of herself with all her heart and all her soul - he was a part of you and that pull is so strong... there is nothing like it. I also know your common sense side knows that is not true - there is no way in hell you failed Kyle. Your decisions, your actions were always in Kyles best interest... even at the end when it didn't feel like it was right to make a decision that NO MOM should ever have to make.... it was always for the love of Kyle because as you said, Kyle was no longer here, he was somewhere else. So in that sense, you didn't make that decision at all... it was already made for you. Know, your always in my thoughts....

Denise -

I hadn't checked in for a couple of weeks, but think and pray for you often. Today, I read your last few journal entries, and am struck by your openness and strength.

Yes, I read of the grief and pain, but mostly I see how strongly you love Kyle, Ty and Riley!

I will continue to pray for you and your children as you go through the coming days, weeks, months and even years. Your openness in the journal, gives direction to my prayers. I will especially pray for Riley and her fears, and for you as you help her through this time, and find the right counselor to work with. I pray for peace and rest for each of you!

The following chain e-mail is long but worthy. Praying that your family, especially Riley, the guidance to learn to cope with your powerful loss. Thinking of you...

The Heart

"Tomorrow morning," the surgeon began,
"I'll open up your heart..."

"You'll find Jesus there," the boy
interrupted.

The surgeon looked up, annoyed "I'll
cut your heart open," he continued,
�to see how much damage has been
done..."

"But when you open up my heart, you'll
find Jesus in there," said the boy.

The surgeon looked to the parents, who
sat quietly. "When I see how much
damage has been done, I'll sew your
heart and chest back up, and I'll plan
what to do next."

"But you'll find Jesus in my heart. The
Bible says He lives there. The
hymns all say He lives there. You'll
find Him in my heart."

The surgeon had had enough. "I'll tell
you what I'll find in your heart.
I'll find damaged muscle, low blood
supply, and weakened vessels.
And I'll find out if I can make you well."

"You'll find Jesus there, too. He lives
there."

The surgeon left.

The surgeon sat in his office, recording his notes from the surgery,
"...damaged aorta, damaged pulmonary vein, widespread muscle
degeneration.
No hope for transplant, no hope for cure. Therapy:
painkillers and bed rest. Prognosis:
here he paused, "death within one year..."

He stopped the recorder, but there was
more to be said. "Why?" he asked aloud.
"Why did You do this? You've put
him here; You've put him in this pain; and You've cursed him to an
early death. Why?"

The Lord answered and said, "The boy,
my lamb, was not meant for your
flock for long, for he is a part of My
flock, and will forever be.
Here, in My flock, he will feel no pain, and will be comforted as you
cannot imagine.

His parents will one day join him here,
and they will know peace, and
My flock will continue to grow.."

The surgeon's tears were hot, but his
anger was hotter. "You created that
boy, and You created that heart. He'll
be dead in months. Why?"

The Lord answered, "The boy, My lamb,
shall return to My flock, for He has
done his duty: I did not put My lamb
with your flock to lose him, but to retrieve another lost lamb."
The surgeon wept...
The surgeon sat
beside the boy's bed; the boy's
parents sat across from him The boy awoke and whispered, "Did you cut
open
my heart?"

"Yes," said the surgeon.
"What did you find?" asked the boy.

"I found Jesus there," said the
surgeon.

Hi Denise,
So, we were on vacation when Kyle became an angel. I was devasted. My family knew immediately by my reaction to the computer. Kyle had been our special prayer for many nights, the kids knew what was going on. And, then again, we were gone. Although, I don't know if I could have been there for you at his services...it is amazing how 5 years doesn't take the pain away. Cathie said you did amazing. And, I read what you said, you are amazing!!!!
You and your family are in my/our hearts!!! When you get into town, let's chat. Next month is 5 years for me, but I grieve like you, like it was just yesterday. I am so sorry for your loss. I hope that one day, we get to see the end of this damn cancer stuff!! The end of our kiddos becoming angels too soon!

Enjoy your trip as you can. All our love here ~ Desiree', Mike, Olivia, Angel Melina, Benson and Garret!

I think I may have mentioned this before but not sure. Ther eis a grief counceling group for kids, at a place called Judy's House. It was started by Brian Griesse, you know the ex quarter back for the Bronko's. It is groupe counceling and the kids there range from all ages, as well as greif periods. And for greiving from siblings, to grandparents, friends, parents. It is all covered. And the parents talk too. My kids, yes Avery too, did it after Candice passed.

Denise...I thought I would just offer a little info after reading you entry regarding Riley. (I run groups for kids with loss/grief issues)
Kids grieve on such a different level than adults. Sending Riley to counseling now may be too early and not beneficial to her. Riley not wanting to leave the house may be that she feels she is betraying Kyle by, having fun, going somewhere without hime..ect..
Her anxiety's are not abnormal and just part of her grieving process. She has lost Kyle and now her biggest fear in life is losing you. So, her anxiety level is high and she is clinging to you for comfort and support. Just be with her and love her..as I know you do!:)
Counseling may be more effective in a few more months and it would really be great to get her into a group setting w/ some individual sessions also. I hope this is helpful info and please let me know if you want to talk more. Sending prayers and positive energy your way!!!!!!!

Denise,
I have a little "angel" story for you: The night of Kyle's funeral we sat with Andrew (Kyle's friend from the oncology clinic), and explained to him what had happened. It took a while for it to sink in, but while I was tucking him in bed . . . lights off . . . Andrew said he was so sad about Kyle. I started to explaine to him that Kyle doesn't want us to feel sad for him - Just then someone turned on Andrew's bedroom light.. . . . of course no one was there. Andrew thinks it was Kyle telling him that he's ok. :)

I am so sorry for the loss of your baby boy. I have never written before though I have followed Kyle's story and your journaling for months and cried for you in silence. Even my kids and my mom have followed your journey. I just wanted you to know there are those of us out here that are silent but are grieving along with you. My brother lives in Broomfield, I live in Greeley with my husband, two boys (9 and 11) and daughter (6). I can't begin to know how hard it would be to lose one of them. I cry at the loss of a total stranger. I just felt it was time to let you know I was here. I got your link from Tyler Lutrell. I will continue to read your journal and pray for you and your family and if there is anything I can do please let me know.

Denise, I cannot even begin to imagine your pain, but I do want you to know you are not at fault. I agree with Janice Rolf....you and Kyle...you fought a hard battle. There is so much love and hope surrounding you and the kids, I hope that you will take time to take that all in, take the time to let go, and eventually heal. You will always miss him, but what an amazing legacy he left behind!

Please know that you did not fail your son... The love that you had for him and the devotion that you showed your baby boy was so very inspirational and you did EVERYTHING you could do for that sweet child.. I pray for you Denise.. I fell in love with you son without ever meeting him. His persaverance was so amazing and inspiring... I also hope one day your good times and memories will over shadow the bad ones... I pray for you and your family every day... Kyle was a hero...

Denise & Family, You are in my thoughts and prayers. You asked for book suggestions..."A Time to Grieve: Meditations for Healing After the Death of a Loved One" Carol Staudacher.
It is not a book you read cover to cover...you read the page that you need on that day. It really helped me with the loss of a close friend.
Sending you guys lots of love and prayers.

Denise, you said the words I wondered about. I knew kids never come off the vent, but didn't know how to tell you that. I am so sorry for you. Having been there done all of this. I feel for you. The one thing you said about going to the grave daily, is the one thing I was glad we didn't burry Candice near here. It helped me and my other two children not to go there everyday. I went once a month. Now I go holidays and her birthday. It helped me to help my children with their grief and not put mine first. For you though you need this. There is a group in Downtown Denver I used for my kids called Judy's House. It helps kids with their grief. It helped my two. Its probably too soon yet, but call them. I don't have the phone number and Carl took the phone book today. Know I am praying for you. Grief Sucks. Oh and the day your child dies is NOT a beautiful day EVER.

Denise--I know one day those warm, wonderful thoughts and
memories of your beautiful boy will chase away the horrible
day you cannot seem to erace from your mind. It will seem
like an eternity before you realize that, but it will happen.
You will one day feel free of all those awful, painful
days...the sun will shine in your heart again...With much
Love to you and your family...Mary Ellen Mantz

Denise... perhaps this is a stupid thing to write, but... is it possible for you to write a book on grief - as a cancer Mom. Maybe it'll help to jot down the ups and downs of your days right now (journal like to help you thru YOU days right now) ... and perhaps... one day.... you can put it into something that makes sense and can maybe help others? I was thinking that the journaling may help 2 ways.. you right now, and others later as a tribute to Kyle? Again, if this is all wrong, I'm sorry. I don't want to make you upset. HUGS my friend

I feel so aweful for you. I wish I could say that I knew what you were going through. Even though I too lost a son to cancer and even though it was similar to Kyle... It is not the same. No one can tell you they know exactly how you feel nor can they tell you what is a normal process. Guilt plagued me and it was because I'm a mom who was supposed to protect my baby. I was so burdened with the memories of all the pain my beautiful little baby went through, and for WHAT?!?

But you are an amazing mom and we all care about you. I know I personally followed his story because of YOUR words just as much as I fell in love with his smile.

Take a minute at a time if need be and vent... We're all here for you.

You and Kyle fought a good fight, and you fought it hard and both of you taught all of us a lesson or two! I just wish there was a way to change this ending. Kyle will always be with you in your heart - your closeness was very evident through your journaling. Please know that we are praying for you - for whatever you may need.

My daily devotional the other day was titled "You can't tell a puzzle by Its Piece". It used the analogy of dumping a puzzle out on the table and having to put it back together without seeing the picture on the box to only seeing pieces of our lives without knowing God's big picture for us. How true! God equips us with all of the pieces but we do not know what the final result will be. We see pieces like job loss, illness, divorce, death, etc but we don't know what God is up to or how they all fit together. Rest assured God knows our lives fully and he will make everything all come together. The final picture for believers is heaven! God knows the big picture and is fitting all of the pieces together. May you always see the pieces of your life as good, knowing God is in control. God's blessings always...

Thank you for sharing what you said at the funeral for those of us who could not be there. It brought tears to my eyes because it was all so very true. Thank you for sharing your family with us - please continue to keep us posted, as we've all been on this journey with you and it certainly does not end here. He's forever changed so many lives and will continue his legacy...

Winter Springs, FL - Monday, July 27, 2009 8:35 AM CDT

Denise, That was just perfect. One of the best things I have ever read, although it took me several tries to be able to read it through the tears... It's so true, how quickly time passes, and so true how easily we can say we love this or that, but not so easy to say we love one another. We do need to open our eyes to the blessings around us, and be thankful for the time we have with those we have it with. I only wish you could have had more time with Kyle, but I know you made the fullest of the time you did. You loved him with all of your heart and soul. I thank you for sharing him with all of "us". :-) You are so right, he has touched the lives and hearts of many who have not even met him face to face. And he somehow made us all better people for having known him!
You and Ty and Riley are in my thoughts often; as well as your mom, and amazing friends who have been by your side through all you have been through. These days will not be easy, but you can get through them with the love and support of others.
with love, suzanne

I read this on another boys site. You don't know me but found your page on another site. God be with you all.

Not too long ago in Heaven there was a little soul who took wonder in observing the world. He especially enjoyed the love he saw there and often expressed this joy with God. One day however the little soul was sad, for on this day he saw suffering in the world. He approached God and sadly asked, "Why do bad things happen; why is there suffering in the world?"

God paused for a moment and replied, "Little Soul, do not be sad, for the suffering you see, unlocks the love in people's hearts." The little soul was confused. "What do you mean," he asked. "God replied, "Have you not noticed the goodness and love that is the offspring of that suffering? Look at how people come together, drop their differences and show their love and compassion for those who suffer. All their other motivations disappear and they become motivated by love alone."

The little soul began to understand and listened attentively as God continued, "The suffering soul unlocks the love in people's hearts much like the sun and the rain unlock the flower within the seed. I created everyone with endless love in their heart, but unfortunately most people keep it locked up and hardly share it with anyone. They are afraid to let their love shine freely, because they are afraid of being hurt. But a suffering soul unlocks that love. I tell you this - it is the greatest miracle of all. Many souls have bravely chosen to go into the world and suffer - to unlock this love - to create this miracle - for the good of all humanity."

Just then the little soul got a wonderful idea and could hardly contain himself. With his wings fluttering, bouncing up and down, the little soul excitedly replied, "I am brave; let me go!! I would love to go into the world and suffer so that I can unlock the goodness and love in people's hearts! I want to create that miracle!!"

God smiled and said, "You are a brave soul I know, and thus I will grant your request. But even though you are very brave you will not be able to do this alone. I have known since the beginning of time that you would ask for this and so I have carefully selected many souls to care for you on your journey. Those souls will help create your miracle; however they will also share in your suffering. Two of these souls are very special. Your brother Ty and sister Riley, who will also become your best friends will be so strong for you�making many sacrifices and endlessly loving you. Another very dear soul will care for you, help you and suffer along with you, far beyond the others. She has already chosen a name for you."

God and the brave little soul shared a smile, and then embraced. In parting, God said, "Do not forget little soul that I will be with you always. Although you have agreed to bear the pain, you will do so through my strength. And if the time should come when you feel that you have suffered enough, just say the word, think the thought, and you will be healed."

Thus at that moment Kyle was born into the world, and through his suffering and God's strength, he unlocked the goodness and love in people's hearts. Families and communities dropped their differences and came together to show their love. Priorities became properly aligned. People gave from their hearts. Those that were always too busy found time. Parents hugged their children tighter. Friends and family grew closer.

Kyle's Family,
Although I only just learned of Kyle, I am not a stranger to him. He like so many others have put a imprint on my life. Losing someone, especially to cancer, causes a pain that you can never quite explain. You say that he earned his angel wings....I believe that sometimes we don't understand why they are taken from us....but there must be a reason. His teaching here was done. Imagine how beautiful of an angel he must of become. They are lucky to have him!!!!

I am so sorry for your loss. I have said a prayer for you and your family and will continue to do so. In times like this words of encouragement sound trite and cliche in the extreme. But rest assured this life is not the end, there is more to existance than the life we lead here. When I lost my Grandmother (nana) I had to keep reminding myself that death (going home) is never a goodbye. It's a see you later, ill be waiting for you, see you when you get there. I would offer the same hope to you as well. Your daring and courageous little boy is home now, where there is no more pain, no more sorrow. Kyle is simply waiting for you to join him in the house your father has built for you for it has many many rooms and there is never any wanting.

John 14:1-4: Do not let your hearts be troubled. Trust in God and trust also in me. In my Father's house are many rooms; if it were not so, I would have told you. I am going there to prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come back and take you to be with me that you also may be where I am. You know the way to the place where I am going

Isaiah 54:10- Though the mountains may be shaken and the hills may be removed my unfailing love for you will not be shaken nor will our covenant be removed says the Lord who has compassion for you.

I know Ill never get the chance to know Kyle. I probably won't ever get the chance to meet you and embrace you and lift you up but please know that I mean it when I say we love you.

I didn't know you or Kyle but I know your story because I also lived it. I lost my son Kyle in Feb of 2000. I am thinking about your family and if you ever need to talk to anyone who really understands please feel free to contact me. You and your family are in my thoughts and prayers.

Denise,
I didn't know Kyle at all, and don't know you well, but I do know that the Lord will grant you all the strength you will need at this time...just hold onto Him. I am sorry for the loss you have to endure, but knowing that this was all part of God's plan may make it a little easier. We will never know why these things happen, but nothing is a surprise to God.

I have a poem I wanted to share.
Imagine someone has opened your chest with clawed hands,
grabbed your heart in a crushing grip and torn it from your body.
But you do not die. You remain alive, in agony.
Agony that will continue for days,
weeks, months and years.

This is what it feels like when a child dies.
This is how I felt when my grandson Ethan died,
age 15 years old..

To hold the limp body of my precious grandson in my arms
and feel its emptiness was pain that defies words.
I watched my beautiful grandson, knowing that I
would never again see his smile,
hear his laugh
or feel his hand clinging to mine.
I would never again hold his warm body close and
breathe in the scent of his hair. I would never
know the person he would have grown up to be.

I walked from the room knowing that I had seen
my beautiful grandson for the last time ever.

I wondered why I still lived,
and how I was supposed to keep going.
I wanted to die; I wasn't suicidal - it's just that
the only way to end my pain was death,
and I ached to hold him in my arms again.

Never again will I feel 'whole'.
My whole future is flavored by the loss of my angelic grandson .A part of me went with him,
and a gaping hole exists that his warm
presence once filled.

I asked questions that no one could answer;
Why did he die?
Why not me instead?
Death has struck close to me once -
what if it happens again?
What do I do now?
How will I manage?
Why am I still here?

I rode an emotional roller coaster.
One moment I felt I was managing well -
the next I was curled up in a corner
pleading with God to take me, right now.
I went for long periods where I did well and thought,
"Okay, I've accepted it."
Then out of the blue, it hit me anew -
"He's dead. God, he's really dead."
And I began a new round of grieving.

Gradually, I found that the lows
weren't quite as low as the previous ones,
and that I rose from them quicker.
Then just when I thought I was cruising on a level piece of track,
it dropped out from under me yet again.

I did this over and over and over,
but living with it gradually became easier,
and I even found that I could live a 'normal' life again,
although it was a new normality.

I will never forget Ethan.He will live forever in my heart
and in my memories.
Death makes him no less a part of our family.
Living with the fact that my beautiful grandson has died
does not mean forgetting.
It means knowing and accepting that he is gone,
but still holding close those precious memories.
It means that my love for him does not change,
but that I don't allow my grief for his death
to over-rule my life forever.

It's about remembering that Ethan would not expect
nor want me to spend the rest of my life
in misery.
My new normality is not necessarily an unhappy one. I love him and miss him terribly so my precious Ethan, please watch over Kyle and help keep him under your angel wings and keep his family safe and help them through this horrible time that they have been going through. Keep them all uplifted and we'll keep them all in our prayers.
nt to share.Uplifting you and your family in prayers.

I am so sorry for the loss of Kyle. He was such a bright little boy who's fragile little life was cut much too short. From my family to yours; God bless you....

There are no words to ease the pain,
A child lost is Heaven's gain,
Lots of tears for those left behind,
God's taken a child seems unkind,
Days, weeks, months will pass,
Kyle's smile will always last,
He will watch from above,
All those he loves,
Kyle will be waiting,
Greatly anticipating,
To be held forever and held tight,
By mom, brother and all who helped him fight.

I did not know your family but have followed the story. May God bless you during this tremendous loss and I am sure Kyle is smiling down on you all. What a great smile he had! My prayers are with you and your family.

I am so so sorry for your loss. I don't know you & read your story on 9news. I lost my husband to the horrible disease of cancer when we were 28, with a 2 month old baby at home. I understand some of the pain you feel. I am so so sorry. Even having gone through it, I can't think of a single thing to say that might bring comfort. Take care, I know I will be holding my kiddos a little closer tonight. And we will be praying for your family.

And we can grieve with hope
'Cause we believe with hope
There's a place by God's grace
There's a place where we'll see your face again

Denise,
I have never left a message before, but I have followed your story for a short time after being sent here through Taylor Jones' website. My heart was so sad to read that Kyle passed away. I don't have words that'll ease your pain, but just be comforted in knowing that you have lots of thoughts and prayers coming to you and your family!!

And with your final heartbeat
Kiss the world goodbye
Then go in peace, and laugh on Glory's side, and
Fly to Jesus
Fly to Jesus
Fly to Jesus and live!

I was directed here by Kennedy's mom. My heart breaks for you and your family as I read your story. These children are so brave and amazing and deserve so much better than this. I can only begin to imagine what you must be feeling at this moment. Although my son is terminal, he is still here with us. But I do know that when we were given the news that he was terminal, it was so encouraging to read messages from people on his guestbook which is why I decided to post. I will pray for your family to have peace and understanding of why these things happen. I will also pray for strength and togetherness for your family, as you will need it. There are so many out here who though we have never met you, we love you and want to support you.

I just came across his site last week and decided to added it to my favorites to keep him on my prayer list and was just saddened by what I just read.I have had so many friends lose their children to this horrible cancer. My daughter had ALL at age 4 but thankfully she is still here with us.

When I think of Kyle in Heaven, I am reminded of some song lyrics from Chris Rice's "Untitled Hymn."
"And with your final heartbeat
Kiss the world goodbye
Then go in peace, and laugh on Glory's side,
and Fly to Jesus
Fly to Jesus
Fly to Jesus and live!"

May the knowledge that Kyle is disease-free and no longer hurting give you and your family peace and heal your hearts during this difficult time. Lots of love.

I am praying for you and your family. I have looked at the pictures of Kyle and found him striking. I followed your site for a short while and was impressed with the Faith and courage your family has.

I read a message on Seth Harris's caringbridge site today. Seth's mother wrote a message and it struck me to the core. She said, "why me". The kids she met with cancer did not ask this. They were not angry, they were not fighting. Instead the kids, and I stress kids, faced toxic treatments with bravery, courage, politeness, quietness, shyness, smiles, and so many positive ways. The strength and courage was evident...boy...girl...baby...toddler...youth...teen... she made me realize that while the parents have faith and strength they also draw strength from the amazing kids. Bless you and the wonderful memories of your beautiful boy with blonde, wispy, carefree hair and a gorgeous smile. He is in heaven with the Lord and I know he is still very much loving you, forever.

I have been following Kyle's page for some time now, and although I haven't left many comments, I have checked his page and thought about him and prayed for him every day. I am so sorry he wasn't healed on earth, but he has been healed in Heaven and I'm sure he is playing video games with other children and running and playing as we speak. I will pray very hard for you and your family during this extremely difficult end of Kyle's courageous journey. Remember, he is still with you and you WILL see him again someday.
Love,

Denise and Family,
Words cannot express to you how sorry I am for your loss of Kyle. He fought a really hard fight, as all of you did, and he gave it his best efforts. He's not hurting any more and we must be thankful for that. My heart is heavy and full of sadness for your whole family. You are a wonderful mom and I know that he knew you never gave up. God bless you for that. Give your children a hug and may you find the strength to go on and continue being the great mom that you are. Your children are lucky to have you. May you find peace knowing that you gave it all you could. Love you.

I am standing upon the seashore. A ship at my side spreads her white sails to the morning breeze and starts for the blue ocean. She is an object of beauty and strength. I stand and watch her until at length she hangs like a speck of white cloud just where the sea and sky come to mingle with each other.

Then someone at my side says: "There, she is gone!".

"Gone where?"

Gone from my sight. That is all. She is just as large in mast and hull and spar as she was when she left my side and she is just as able to bear her load of living freight to her destined port.

Her diminished size is in me, not in her. And just at the moment when someone at my side says "There, she is gone!" there are other eyes watching her coming and other voices ready to take up the glad shout: "Here she comes!!"

And that is dying.....

Words cannot express the grief you're going through losing Kyle. Kyle put up a good fight and is now resting in the eternal arms of our heavenly Father. He's gone only in the phyiscal body which is what you will miss. Kyle will be alive forever in your hearts and soul. My prayers continue as you go through this grieving process. Keep the faith. I love you.

I am so sorry to hear about the passing of your son. Taylor's mom Gina always spoke about your family with much love and admiration. My heart goes out to each of you.

I know your names
You were here for hours, days, months or years
Too young to die
Too young to leave your parents, who will never be the same
Your names are written on their lives forever
They will remember your birthdays, with "if only" and "would have been"
They will count the years and measure you by your friends
They will mourn your graduations, ball games and marriages
They will hold you in their dreams
They will cradle your teddies and sleep with your blankets
They yearn for the scent of you, long gone from your clothes
They will walk into your darkened rooms and hope that tonight you will be there
They fear they may forget your faces, your smiles, your voices
They hold onto the grief that binds their love to you
They will remember the insidious unknowns that stole your breath, stopped your beating hearts
They will relive your last days, last touches, and last breaths
And rewind them again and again until they are tight in their mind�s eyes
I weep for your mothers, your fathers, your grandparents, your siblings, your friends
And all those who will never know you
And when time silences the voice of solace
I will say your names and remember

I pray for you and yours tonight that God may grant you peace and solice in knowing that Kyle now looks down us from a place where "cancer" and "pain" have no meaning. He watches over us now and the love that he gave us in this life will now see us through this time of terrible sadness. Denise God Bless you and your family. My heart is forever with you and yours.

Hi. I too lost a daughter, Maris Grace Barrett. She lived from February 23, 2001 to June 23, 2009. She was originally diagnosed with Pre-B ALL on February 2, 3003. If you ever need to talk, I am here.
My cell is 770-713-3644 and it is the best way to reach me. The loss of a child is devastating and my husband and I are still dealing with it today and will probably never get over it.

We have shared a great many trials, joys, worries, and ups and downs over the past few years we have known each other through CB. This tremendous loss, though, is truly one I never believed you would have to endure. Honestly, every time I think about it, I start to cry. I am afraid to feel that pain of loss; but if I could take any of your pain, and ease any of your sorrow, I would gladly. Please know that you and your family has a very special place in my heart; in my heart that grieves for the loss of your beautiful, beautiful boy. As always, many prayers and love going out to you...

My name is Kim Callahan. I got Kyle's CB page from another CB page. My daughter Haley was 12 and she passed away on September 10th of 2008. So I just wanted you to know that I feel your grief. I just wanted you to know that I will be praying for you and your family as go through this process. Grief is a torcherous thing. But my advice is to go through it in your own way and your on time. Do not let anyone tell you how you should grieve. There is a wonderful book called The Shack. You can find it at your local book store. It has helped me and my family our a lot. But just know that Kyle is now in heaven where he is pain free and he is no longer hurting in anyway. And that one day you will be able to see him again. That is what always gets me and my husband through a lot of days. Haley was our only child. If you want to read her story her site is www.caringbridge.org/visit/haleycallahan. Again I am so sorry for your loss. If you want to privately email to talk, you can anytime. Take care and may God help all of you through this trying time.

Dear Denise, Ty, & Riley, I am so sorry. God has gained another mighty warrior, and Kyle was one of the mightiest. He fought this battle so hard and for so long. May you find comfort in the dream you had envisioning Kyle swimming and kicking in the waves of the ocean. Now he will no longer hurt or be in pain. May your family and friends keep you wrapped with love and support and may you fully rely on God to help you through this difficult time. With deepest sympathy, The Ricci Family, Wisconsin

Dearest Denise, I cannot begin to describe how heartfelt we are about Kyle. Since the first time we met in the hall and talked about our kids,you inspired me to be stonger for our kids. You and Kyle took what ever punches were thrown and pushed through them like water eroding a mountain. Kyle has finally broke through and is no longer having to fight. You have given your all to assure everything possible was done. I will always remember you both when times are tough. Know that your strength and Kyles resilience will live in my heart forever. May there be love and prayers with you and yours always,James,Joyce,Julian,Jonah,Christian,and Jessie

Oh, and it is such a tremendous loss. He was such an amazing boy, a hero to all of us. He took all the crap life threw at him and said "what else??" He will always be my hero. As will you, Denise. I am quite certain I will never know another person as strong as you are. He was so lucky to have you for a mom. You are wonderful. I hope and pray all of you will be able to find peace in the fact that he is happy and healthy with God now, never to hurt again. You are such an amazing mom! I love you dearly.

Centennial, CO - Saturday, July 18, 2009 10:41 PM CDT

My heart aches for you and your family. What a fight he put up. The body gets tired and for some reason God wants him with him rather than us "earthly people". My 16 yr. old nephew is a very friendly soul and has probably already latched onto Kyle and making him feel "right at home". As they are finally pain and cancer free, we suffer the loss. It is very different. God Bless you.

I am so very sorry for the loss of Kyle. I know he fought as hard as he could and had so many people praying for him. Losing a child is the hardest thing a parent can endure. I, myself, have lost my two girls so they were up in Heaven welcoming him "Home" I will continue to keep your family in my thoughts and prayers as you go through the most agonizing time of your life.

I'm so sorry Denise about the loss of this great young man. I told people I know about Kyle. About his smile. It equaled a football player I coached in Pop Warner, G.J. his name is, and he always smiled no matter what. His smile took up his whole face. That is what I saw in Kyle with his wonderful smile. I am so sorry that I never met Kyle. What a battle he fought. There was no "give up" in this boy. Praying for him and asking other angels I have known to comfort him and keep him and bring him to heaven. Hugs and comfort to you all the way out there in Denver from Freehold NJ. Thinking and praying for you always. Peace today and always...

Dear family ...

My heart is aching right now.
My prayers are surrounding you as your hearts bleed...
your tears fall...
and your journey of grief begins.

I promise you YOU WILL MAKE IT. Right now you don't have a clue how ... but don't worry about that just now. Just take one moment at a time. Cling to your family,your dear friends, and mostly cling to Jesus. He has been and will continue to walk with you through this valley of tears. Let His arms surround you, strengthen you and comfort you.

How can I be so certain? I know this from my own journey ... Just as He was there for me in my time of sorrow, He is there with you right now.

With love, prayers and tears from a fellow traveler.

Your son was such a beautiful, vivacious child. I know that now he is painfree and resting in God's loving arms. I pray that your family will be comforted as you travel this new road, this life without your son/brother, etc. I am ever so sorry for your loss, but rejoicing for Kyle's heavenly healing.

Denise and Family,

I'm so sorry to hear that we've lost Kyle. We all wanted that miracle so badly for him and I'm so sad. He fought so hard for so long and I kept praying he'd come out of this. My heart is so heavy, I don't know what to say other than to tell you that I will pray for all of you. Denise, you are so strong, but please don't hesitate asking for help--we are here for you. My heart is truly broken, yet I am thanking God that Kyle is at peace and no longer suffering. I hope he's running the streets of Heaven with his new angel wings.

Dear sweet Kyle, please watch over your family from heaven. They will miss you tremendously and are going to need you by their side every step of the way. And fly high. Fly as high as you can, you are now completely healed and no longer suffering. We will miss you and your beautiful smile for the rest of our lives.

Keeping you in our thoughts and prayers,

I heard of Kyle's passing through Taylor's CaringBridge site. I do not have words to express the sympathy I feel for your loss. Those of us in the cancer community are close, even if we do not know each other personally. We all feel a profound sense of loss when this hideous and uncaring disease claims another whom we think of as our own. I take solace in knowing that Kyle is free from his earthly body--he has once again been made whole and is able to do all of the things that he was meant to do. Wherever we go when we leave here, I know it is a grand place to be. May you finally be at peace, Kyle, and I hope that your family can take strength from those around them.

But after thinking about it, I know god has taken someone so sweet and tender from us all. There are so many words that I want to say, but I dont know how to. Just remember that god has his arms around you all, and that you all are in our thoughts n prayers. We love you all. And we are here if you need us. ~~ Mr. Kyle, fly high beautiful boy.

I just keep thinking how unfair it is, for Kyle and all the other children who lost the fight. You and Kyle were lucky to have experienced each other's love and special bond during his time here on Earth. I hope the memory of that love sustains you in the years ahead. I know I will never forget either one of you.

What an Tremendous Battle Kyle and your entire family have been fighting these past years! Kyle is now at peace, running and jumping, skating and laughing like never ever before! He is now "WHEREVER YOU ARE"! Never will you have to leave his hospital bedside.... you carry him with you whever you go! Continue to Talk to him, his Spirit is all around you and will continue to be a part of you until you meet him again!! Kyle honey... Tell Jesus we said "hello" and thank him for Listening to all of our prayers! It's hard for us down here on earth to understand why things happen the way they do but we continue to TRUST HIM and know that he has a perfect plan for all of us! We will continue to keep you all in our prayers, but know that KYLE"S life touched all of us and for that we are changed for the better!!!!With LOVE and Deepest Sympathy!~ Claudia Schnurr and family

Taylor's Mom shared the painful news about Kyle. My stomach sinks, the tears stream down my face, my heart is filled with sadness for you and your family. Kyle touched my life - I feel so connected because you let us into your life and his battle via CB. He was such a fighter and so were you. You are courageous and strong. You have so very much to be proud of. Even though it is hard, praise God - Praise him for healing Kyle and restoring him to complete health. He is no longer in pain and will never have to battle for his life again. My deepest sympathy to you and your entire family...

I know you haven't posted anything on here yet, but I just heard from Taylor's mom who has been championing for Kyle on her daughter's page for some time. The tears ran as soon as I heard the news and I had never even seen Kyle's picture before nor did I know anything of him except that he needed prayers. I am so terribly sorry and I will continue praying for your family.

God's Love,

You are an inspiration and I can't tell you how proud I am to know you. So many things have come to pass but the one lesson that will remain in my heart forever is that even a child can make a difference in the world. Kyle has touched so many hearts in such a short time, what a powerful little man...no wonder God wants to keep him close.
You are a beautiful person Denise, and I thank you for being such a great mom, may the Lord lift you and your family today and always. P.S Tell Riley Happy Birthday!!!!

It's simply not right for a child to have to go through this.. it's not right for a family to have to go through this.. it's not right that you should have to sign a dnr for your 12 year old son. But of course, you know all this already. Please know I'm praying for a miracle for Kyle.. OUR GOD IS ABLE! Love and prayers...

Mom, my heart is hurting for you and your family, and tear's are also coming down my face this morning. I pray that God will strengthen you and comfort all of you during this time. I have to believe that God is the GREAT physician and He has the last say in our lives. I also know that He is the great healer, and I have seen people and children that He has healed. I am going to continue to believe in my heart that this precious child is going to be healed. The Lord tells us if we have the faith of a mustard seed, we can move mountain's. Sometimes it is very hard to have that kind of faith especially when it is one of your loved ones. Praying especially hard for all of you today.

Denise and Kyle -

I continue to lift you and your family up to our Heavenly Father! As I read the post tonight, I too was in tears, I can't imagine your heartache, but I want you to be encouraged that our Heavenly Father knows how you feel, and will continue to strengthen you! I pray for wisdom for the doctors, peace, strength, comfort and healing for Kyle, and peace, rest, strength, courage, wisdom and so much more for you Denise! I am thankful that you have the support of friends and family near you. I pray for your entire family as you go down this path together.

It is amazing to me to see how many people, including myself, have been praying for Kyle and your family, despite having never met you. I know our Heavenly Father has a plan for this that none of us can understand, yet it is perfect and full of His love and grace. Kyle and you have a strong message to share, and I believe God is not finished yet, may He grant the healing on Earth that only He can provide!

Hang in there, and know that you are greatly loved...by those close to you, by many you do not know and especially by our Heavenly Father!

Please excuse my typose too, as I sit in my home office sobbing for Kyle and his family, whom I have never met. No family or Mother should have to endure such horriffic pain. You've been on such a fight - we all know neither one of you gave up. As in Phillippians 1:15-26, Paul debates what is far better vs more necessary. He knows it is far better to depart and be with Christ but it may be more necessary to remain in the flesh, as the Lord may have fruitful labor for him. Either way, Christ is honored and Kyle will be honored too! Our departure time belongs to God and as long as he gives life, he gives purpose. Although we may not agree or fully know, Kyle carried out great purpose. We need to trust and believe that. My heart breaks so badly as a fellow Mother and Christian. Storming heaven with prayers for Kyle and your family...

Denise,

I am heartbroken and angry at the same time. I'm so sorry you're in this position, I just can't believe it has come to this. As I sit here crying reading the update, I can't help but remember when I came to visit last week, truly thinking that with everyone praying, how could Kyle not fight back and win this battle--it's just not possible because he always fights back and wins. And as I stood there last week looking at Kyle hooked up to the vent, embarrassed that I was the one crying, you were the one comforting me. Your inner strength is remarkable--no matter what, you always hold yourself together. You are the rock in the family.

I WILL NOT give up on praying for a miracle healing on earth for Kyle as we've all been waiting for it. I don't want God to take Kyle from you but at the same time, I don't want Kyle to suffer anymore as he has suffered more in his 12 short years than most will ever experience in their lifetime. That's the worst part--you've all been through absolute hell for so many years and it's so unfair. But if God decides it's time to take Kyle home and he earns his angel wings, He will have gained a truly wonderful and remarkable young man who will always watch over you.

I'll be keeping you in my thoughts and prayers,
Tammy <All3Nelsons@aol.com>

And you are right about Kyle. He is a sweet, sweet boy. We love that he is Justin's friend. Justin could not ask for a better friend than Kyle. I believe you when you write that your bond with him is one in a million. That is so clear whenever you speak or write about him. The unfailing and magnetic love between the two of you is so, so evident. It is touching and inspiring to be exposed to that kind of love and devotion. Our prayers and hopes are with you.

I am so sad for you and your family :( Your words sound all too familiar to me (as I lost my daughter, Kayla, December 2007 right there in that same PICU). Stacy linked me to your site. I especially identify with him wanting to live and being pissed off! You know they are tired, hurting and ready for peace - but they shouldn't have to make that decision. They should be peaceful at home, without cancer! There aren't really any words I can give to help. If these should be Kyle's final hours, just touch him as much as you can. Tell him everything you've ever wanted. Tell him that you will be ok - he can watch you from Heaven and you will be with him again. And just remember that you have a huge support here for you - no matter what happens.

Hope to meet one day ...

I've been watching and praying with you for a little while, but have not written. I stand with you for complete healing and nothing less. This child has done everything asked of him, and now we ask the Lord to honor his faith in Him to get him well. You have every reason to be angry --- I know the Lord is angry, too. He hates death and illness as much, if not more, than we do. We look to Him to heal us, knowing that when things get impossible to men, He loves to show us how much He loves us!

"Ignoring what they said, Jesus said to them, 'All things are possible. Only believe.'"

Thank You, Lord.

Oh Denise I am so sorry, I am so sorry for this is happening to you, my heart is broken too. I remember the time when you try to send Elisha some of Kyle's shoes and you said no matter if it doesn't fit him, as long as you send him something, I will never forget that. I am following Kyle's story and I know how strong boy he is. All I can offer you is my prayer to give you peace and comfort. Trust the Lord, and focus on His promises. I know it is hard but you have to try. I love you and I will pray hard for you.

Denise,
I am crying with you....I still recall our conversation prior to transplant...I know how much Kyle is a part of you. I am praying that the doctor's are wrong and that they did not consider what a powerful little man that Kyle is or how much he has already pulled through. I am still praying for his miracle. I am also praying for your family to somehow get through all this. I so wish that things were different and that he sailed through transplant like Jackie did. I am so sorry. I wish I had the magic words to heal your heart, to heal Kyle.... Please call me if you need anything...anytime 24/7

Dearest Denise,
I came to your site via Taylor Jones and immediately become a cheerleader for you and your little Kyle! I included you both on our Church Prayer Chain and asked others to include him also in their family nightly prayers.
As I sit here and read your latest entry my heart breaks and I cry with you and for you... As a fellow single mother I understand the daily struggles of being both mother and father to a young boy. But you have been asked to endure a struggle no mother should ever have to. You are being asked to "be strong" when you really don't have any choice. I sit here typing and praying for strength for you. I PRAY for strength for Kyle!! Your family will have a special card in my prayer box for today, for tomarrow, for always....
I will be keeping the prayers rolling for you and your family.

Denise, God is an awesome God!!! You have every right to be angry. God chose you to be the mother of Kyle. God knew Kyle's future and knew that you were the perfect mother for him here on earth. I pray that a miracle will happen in your sons life. I know that God prepares a home for us and when it is ready he will call our name. Only God knows when Kyles name will be called. Please give Kyle this Bible verse for me. Put it over his bed. Proverbs 3:5. May God Bless your Family and Give you the strength you need to continue to support Kyle and your other children.

You and I are going through such simular things right now. Everything you are saying I am feeling. SO I guess what I am trying to say is I do truly understand and know how you are feeling.

Denise: My heart breaks for you and your family and your dear precious Kyle. I don't know what to say other than I will continue to lift you in prayer. A song comes to mind by Ginny Owens, it's called If you want me to. I pray Jesus gives you comfort.

The pathway is broken
And The signs are unclear
And I don't know the reason why You brought me here
But just because You love me the way that You do
I'm gonna walk through the valley
If You want me to

Chorus:
Cause I'm not who I was
When I took my first step
And I'm clinging to the promise You're not through with me yet
so if all of these trials bring me closer to you
Then I will walk through the fire
If You want me to

It may not be the way I would have chosen
When you lead me through a world that's not my home
But You never said it would be easy
You only said I'd never go alone

ya oh oh no

So When the whole world turns against me
And I'm all by myself
And I can't hear You answer my cries for help
I'll remember the suffering Your love put You through
And I go through the valley If You want me to

Denise,
I am an admirer of yours out here in Las Vegas. I have signed Kyle's guest book many times and have prayed for you and for Kyle many many many times (and continue to do so.) We've gotten to know your family via Matthew Fackler and his mom Nancy. I just wanted to say how your heartfelt writings touch me and so many others out here in the "real world." Your honesty takes my breath away. My son is a cancer survivor also so I do remember vividly the days and nights we spent in the hospital too.........though Kyle's struggle is more intense than Chad's was, and therefore more heartwrenching in so many ways. I do have to say that I don't pity you or feel sorry for you. I think you are amazing and your strength is inspiring and your love for all your children makes me want to be a better mother and a better person.
I admire you beyond words. I admire Kyle even more.......
You are not alone and your struggle and your pain and your
worries are shared by all of us out here living our daily
lives and remembering to stop and pray for Kyle to get well.
We ARE keeping the faith and we are NEVER giving up!!!
I am humbled to share a tiny bit of this journey with you and your family. Kyle is the strongest young man I have ever known and it's so obvious he got that strength from you.
Love,
Stacey

Denise, I am with the Cancer Warriors Support Organization and came to Kyle's link by way of Briana Colin in Stockbridge, GA. I couldn't read your jouranl entry with out a big lump in my throat and tears in my eyes. We are praying for Kyle. WE will be praying for you for strength and for God's comfort. I know a little of what you are going through because my oldest son, Tyler, was in a MVA and his friend was killed. Ty was partially paralyzed for a while, and we sat by his bedside every day at Shepherd's Spinal Center, wondering if he would ever walk again. Our trauma in no way matches yours, but our children are our hearts and when they hurt, we hurt. We are definitely praying for you and your family!

Denise, my prayers are with you. I can hear your fear and yet you are so strong; like Kyle. I think of the disciples in the boat in the storm. They are terrified and wake Jesus up, and he calms the storm. Sometimes he calms the storm, and sometimes he calms the ones in the boat. My priest said last week to remember that "Jesus is in the boat". Keep up your hope; do not listen to statistics. Mary Kate and I are praying for Kyle the fighter and for you! May he give you the strength to do what you need to do each day. Love and blessings,

I want to share with you excerpts from my daily devotional the other night - it was titled "Life Wins". At times in life when the bad (death, illness, suffering, etc.) seem to win, remember that it can't! It's already been swallowed up in victory. John 11:25-26 tells us "...everyone who lives and believes in me shall never die". Victory is the hope in which we live. Life wins! I know this is the farthest feeling right now but God will lead you. Life is in His control - give your worries/fears to Him - have faith and hope. Wishing I could take some pain and worry away for you. I hope that our entries give you courage and support in some way. May God's peace be with you always as we all fight for Kyle and your family...

I heard about your son and all the pain and struggles he has endured through a link on Face book that someone posted to share with all of us. I am so sorry, no parent should ever have to endure seeing their child suffer, even more so no child should ever have to endure this....God is watching over you and I am certain he will create a miracle for you and your family. You are in my prayers.....Kimberly

Hello. I'm a friend of the Jones family and am So very often reminded to pray for you all. Praying you find comfort in His tender mercies and praying for healing and strengthening in this very huge time of need.

So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.

Denise - thank you for sharing these most intimate details of what you are going through. It must be one of the toughest things you have to do, but yet you do it - you do it so that we can continue to pray for exactly what Kyle needs and exactly what you need to get through this! That takes a lot of strength. You may not feel very strong, but as we have continued to follow you through this, I say you are one of the strongest people I know (even though I'm sure there are times you don't want to be strong). You may feel lost, but we will storm the Heavens with prayers for God to show you the way for you, for Kyle, for Ty and for Riley!! It's simply not fair and as my husband and I check in every day to see how Kyle is doing, I ask the same question - WHY? We don't have answers, but I know that you will continue to fight this fight with everything that is in you and I'm sure that Kyle knows this as well! God Bless you, Denise - and may you have some calm moments in this huge storm!! I know you have a lot of support, but if I can help in any way - please let me know. I am not far from the hospital - I could bring anything, anytime.

Denise -- You, Kyle and your family are in my prayers. I don't even know how I started reading your site, but somehow I was linked to it and I've been reading for about a month now. The ups and downs Kyle has endured have just been CRAZY! You hang in there -- you are doing beyond awesome! I will pray that this lung issue clear up soon and that Kyle starts to feel better....

Hi Denise, my name is Holly and I've been following your story for only a few weeks now. I've wanted to write to you, but I've been at a loss for words. My daughter Olivia has leukemia and is also a patient at Children's. Last summer we went through an ordeal that landed us in the PICU. Olivia contracted a rare bacteria that attacked her lungs and put her on a vent. As I read your words, I feel like I am looking back and reading my own journal entries. The xrays, rounds, sedation, suctioning, oxygen saturation is all so familiar to me. I have an idea about what you are feeling, and how scary and isolating the PICU can be. I know there is nothing to say that will ease your pain, but I wanted to let you know I am here and if you ever need to talk to someone that knows what you are going through, I would love to be that person. We spent 3 months in the PICU and then went upstairs for a month before I was able to bring Olivia home. I know about the doctors, nurses, the long walks down the hall, waiting to use the one bathroom in the PICU and the talkative resp. techs in the middle of the night. You can vent to me :) We were in 13 across the hall from you. Nurses told me a lot of miracles seemed to come out of that room, I believe it is being at the end of the hallway that is lucky. I think about you everyday and pray for your strength as well as Kyle's. Please know you are not alone.

Dear Denise, Kyle and family,
I was at Great Scotts for breakfast this morning w/my dad... when I got a facebook update on my Blackberry... It was yours... my eyes started to tear up and my dad panicked. When I told him what was going on I think he started to get choked up too, but recovered and said that he will add you all to his prayers as well. There are so many people out here holding you up in their thoughts and prayers...I continue to pray for your strength, comfort and healing.

With FAITH, HOPE and above all LOVE,

Oh Denise my heart breaks for you. I have only had 2 stays in the PICU and I know what you mean - taking the long walk down the hall past all those kids fighting for their lives. Kyle is a fighter and he is so lucky to have you by his side, loving him, cheering him and crying for him. The strength you have is coming from deep inside and you will find more. It may seem like you have no more to give but God will give you strength and Kyle strength too. Praying for you and your whole family.

Oh, Denise!

Every morning I wake up and the first thing I do is check in on Kyle. Once I click that button, I am hoping to read how he is feeling better. I hate the fact he is still dealing with this all and that you, as a mom, have to watch him suffer. He is such an amazing and strong-willed boy (Hmmm, I wonder who he gets that from?) and will fight, fight, fight! We will be praying for his recovery and healing.

We love you!

But with all these infections Avery is getting it was too risky for EVERYONE. I know what you mean about pokes, tubes, and stuff all over the body. We have the oxygen, g tube, suprapubic Catheter, right now. And the doctor told us today we are going to need one more surgery posibly. Hang in there. Know we are praying for you.

It seems so amazing to me that people whom I haven't even met can make such an impact in my life. I find myself thinking about you and Kyle several times every HOUR!! Checking my computer for updates and praying for you....appreciating my own family even more then I did before (especially my own 11 year old son). You both are such an inspiration and even now these words don't do the feelings in my heart justice.

Tell Kyle that I have signed up for my 3rd half-marathon and full marathon in September and October respectively and those races are in your honor...my medals will be given to you.... for your journey has been much more difficult than those races could EVER be for me. No matter how much I may suffer through them.

I am HONORED and humbled to have gotten to know you through CaringBridge. I am thankful for this website and for my friend Shawn Kent who brought your family to my attention.

So, I look forward to hearing more updates of Kyle's healings and I really look forward to putting that marathon medal around his neck in October!

GOD BLESS YOU!

What an odd world we live in, that brings to strangers as close as our lives have been. You were always such a wonderful, caring support for me through Joseph's illness and death, and now my heart aches as I read your familiar words and look at what you are going through.

You are in my prayers and my thoughts. I am available to you if you wish, though I worry my presence here will only frighten you given the similar nature of things. You are a wonderful mother, an amazing person and Kyle is a strong, wonderful boy. I have you in my heart. Please let me know if you want to talk. You know that I really do understand. All my love.

I was comforted knowing that whatever God decides, he'll be holding his hand - just like your dream and I felt some peace. Kyle is a little shite like Davis ... she said in a positive loving way. He is STRONG he is RESILIENT he OVERCOMES. That strong attitude gets them over their obstacles.

Kyle has the will.... my prayers are for his little body to heal. Positive thoughts - its such a great healer. What a wonderful gift knowing he can hear you....

Denise and Kyle,

I used to teach at Coyote Ridge and Kyle was just a first grader (I believe) when I first learned of his battle with cancer. I have spent the better part of the last hour, drying my tears as I read and reread the journal entries that you have posted. I too am a single mom and simply cannot imagine what you have had to endure over the last eight or nine years. Denise, you are an amazing Mom and and I applaud you for being able to hold it all together while trying to endure this nightmare.

I must also tell you how inspired I am by the strength and determination that this young man has shown. I know God is with Kyle every step of the way and I pray that someday, Kyle, will have the chance to run outside and live that 'normal' lifestyle that he yearns for.

Please know that my thoughts and prayers are with all of you. God Bless.

I have a little card I carry in my planner that says "Lord, help me to remember that nothing is going to happen today that you and I can't handle together." Believing that is where faith comes in.
Tell that amazing little man of yours that he has his Kyle Supporters all around the country and maybe even all around the world cheering him on, praying for him, and sending all the love we can!
Hoping you can somehow get some rest. Be sure to eat something. Kyle will pull through and regain his strength, and you will need to have yours to keep up with him!
With lots of love to you all!!

I was happy to see a bit of good news today that Kyle can hear you and is still being the FIGHTER that we all know he is.

Kyle, you are brave and strong beyond belief and you just need to fight a little more to get well...everyone is praying for you and I know you can do it.

Denise, you're a wonderful mom to your kids and there's nothing you wouldn't do for them...you always give everything your all even when the odds are stacked against you. Keep up the good fight and we'll keep up the prayers...GOD is listening and he HAS TO hear all of us down here praying for Kyle to be healed.

Keeping you in my thoughts and prayers,

Denise, I was so relieved to read today's update. It is so great that you got to see Kyle and know he's in there (even though he really should be asleep)!

I forgot until now, but we used a CD called Sound Healing while Zaida was in surgeries and in the PICU while sedated with a ventilator. The website is http://www.brainsync.com/product.asp?specific=125

She listed to it with headphones and it is very soothing and drowns out hospital noises. It supposedly "delivers Delta waves associated with the release of human growth hormone, beneficial for healing combined with meditation music." Zaida seemed to like it.

I would be more than happy to bring the CD to you for Kyle, if you want, and if you have a CD player/headphones to play it. Or if you have a computer to use to put it on an IPOD. I also would be honored to sit with him a while.

I wish so badly I was one of the people who could come and have some Kyle time; I would be there in a heartbeat. Because that just is not possible right now, I have spent a LOT of time the past couple of days doing something that some people might think is strange but that I know you will understand completely, Denise. Ya know our "butterflies"? The ones that we got on the same May day to celebrate Kyle? Even though it is based on the CCRF butterfly, for me, mine has always been my "Kyle butterfly." I've spent a LOT of time looking at my own right shoulder the past few days. If I look strange, I don't care. If I get a crick in my neck, I don't care. I'm thinking of Kyle and praying for him with all I'm worth.

One thing is for certain. Even though I can't come there for Kyle time right now, when you guys are back home and all of this is just a memory, I am going to come there for some Kyle (and Denise) time. I want to hear some of those stories Kyle will be telling, and I want to see the big smile of The Handsome Devil That I Haven't Met In Person Yet. Yes I am; that is what I can do, and that is what I'm going to do. We'll plan it after you guys have settled back in at home.

Hugs, love, and always, always, always...prayers.

Kyle and family,

Sending up my most heartfelt prayers for Kyle to fight, fight, fight and for God to grant his Miracles for Kyle. While we don't like what is happening we must find a way to trust and believe that our Faith and Prayers can/will move this mountain off of Kyle. In the name of Jesus, I am claiming on this day, at this time that you are already healed in his Mighty name. You are healed by the very one that hung on a cross over 2,000 years ago and defeated cancer, defeated pneumonia, defeated infections, defeated pain. Amen

Praying that on this day 4th of July that you and your family will experience the GRANDEST INDEPENDENCE ever! Cancer free, pain free, vent free! By HIS stripes you've been made Whole!

Denise,
I cannot begin to phathom what depths of despair your heart must reach as you walk through this time. I am only able to share those words of comfort from Psalm 23 Yea though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will not fear, thy rod and thy staff they comfort me. Though preparest a table before me....surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life and I wlll dwell in the house of the Lord forever.

our love and prayers to you

Everyone I know is praying for Kyle all around the country. Thank God Kyle is surrounded by his entire family, Jen and her mother to give him as much support as possible while he works so hard to be healthy. My heartfelt sorrow and concern and love are with you, Denise and Kyle. Being that Kyle has beaten all of the odds for so many years, it seems he has more chances than anyone to get ahead of this thing. Thank God he is with family and that Denise, his fathers, his siblings and everyone he loves is surrounding him at this time. Please God make Kyle well again.

I am so very sorry for Kyle, Denise I will pray for you and your sweet Kyle. I know it is not easy to see your child suffer so much but you can ONLY rely on GOD and in God alone. He can give you the piece and understanding no person can give. Keep your faith and focus on His promises. YOu and Kyle will be in my thoughts and will pray for you.

Kyle, Denise & Family,
I hadn't checked on Kyle for a few days so I stopped by to see how he was doing and am absolutely speechless at Jen's post today. I'm just heartbroken and can't stop crying. I don't even know what to say at this point, other than to tell you that I'll continue to pray hard for Kyle's recovery every day. There are lots of us out here praying for all of you to get that miracle you need. If there's anything we can do, please let us know, you have my number.

Keeping you in my thoughts and prayers,

Denise and Kyle - It really is very hard to know what to say. It's weird being on the other side of the street now, not being in the same trenches so to speak. I do understand and yet I don't. We weren't on round 3 and transplanted, although we were fighting for Maddi's life... I get the alone thing, I get the part about being your burden, no matter how many people are there for you. I get the exhaustion and the agony that you feel for yourself and for your baby. And I soooooooooooo get the fears. Denise, and I know I've said this before, but please... if you need anything, I really am here. I remember how I felt when we were in the "battle" - there were certain people that I couldn't relate to, their miniscule problems that were big to them, but to me they were just nothing to complain about. I'm that person now... It's really bizarre. I'm sorry. I don't have problems any more and I'm so so so sorry that you guys do. Maybe I'm dumping too much, maybe I'm opening a door for you to have one more real friend. I love you Denise and I love your family! I'm so blessed to know you all. If I can do anything for you, I'd love to help. Text me and I'll be there!
With love and so many prayers!

Kyle... you are an Amazing Boy, and are receiving prayers from around the world... Hold on to your dreams.... our Lord loves you.... He is your very best friend ...

Hey Denise, I wanted to let you know I think about you & Kyle every time I post something fun or even mundane on FB. It feels like the universe is out of balance and I've always known that to be truly unfair. Your last comment in the CB journal on Wednesday made me realize that what I suspected is true. I just wanted you to know that in those moments, when we're out having fun or enjoying the mundane, I am still thinking about you guys and lifting you up in prayer whenever possible. I am really encouraged to see that Michelle invited you into her chat room, and that you have Cyndi speaking from similar experience. I have literally nothing to draw from to offer you and it makes me feel helpless sometimes, other than to let you know we have not forgotten you and that you have more prayer warriors out here than you could possibly know. We were originally always praying for Kyle, but we are now also praying for strength, wisdom and mostly courage for his wonderful Mommy. God bless you both!

What a horrible day - my heart breaks for you. Do not feel bad for having such emotions. I feel they are normal - no one likes the unknown and no Mom ever likes to see their child in pain. Sometimes I think you need to hit rock bottom so you can gain momentum to get to the top again. Let it out - we are all praying for and aching with you. We feel helpless too and wish there was something we could do. I hope that you feel the love and prayers reaching out to you. Let the Lord be our rock...God's peace and blessings.

Boy can I relate and wish that I didn't (I know you understand what I am saying). Having a child with cancer is no joy for anyone let alone a single parent and unfortunately nobody can understand it unless they walk in your shoes, shoes which you would never give to anyone. I think we bought our shoes at the same place :(

With Jackie's relapse we were in four straight months too and it was agony, especially to be away from all our family & friends, no breaks or swiching off with someone else, carrying the pain alone, making the decisions alone, (things only a single parent can fully understand),staring at those walls that felt like they were closing in on us with each passing day. It was horrible but we did make it through and you and Kyle will too, I have no doubt of that.

Next time you can, go down to your car put on a depressing song and cry your eyes out-just let it out. You know I am always a telephone call away....

Denise, read your post for July 1; you are absolutely entitled to have angry days! Whatever happened in the universe making it okay for kids to have cancer was wrong, unfair and completely unjust. Kyle definitely deserves to have a normal life and be a normal kid and everything that he, you and your family is going through is complete bulls*t!! We all feel your pain dear and yet most of us can't even begin to comprehend. You and Kyle are so incredibly strong to have come so far and if either of you feels the need to beat the you-know-what out of something -- you have earned every right to. Cancer can kiss all of our asses!

I found your site from Taylor's and just wanted to let you know that you all are in my prayers. I also noticed that you have Matthew's link on your page, my son Conner went through BMT shortly before him in Cincinnati. Conner was 13 at the time of transplant and reading your entries reminded me of the things I was feeling back then. I just couldn't understand how the world was continuing on while my son suffered so much up in that room. I pray that two years from now Kyle will be riding bikes, hiking and swimming like Conner is this summer.

I also wanted to share that Conner had one of the worst cases of BKV that they had seen in Cincy. We did some experimental stuff back then to get him some relief (although minimal) and they now use it on their other BKV kids. Please let me know if you need any information on that.

With sincerest and deepest wishes for recovery and to be able to finish mending at home. If there were a way to donate sleep, will (though you both have an awesome amount of that), rest, or relief, the many people who check on you two would shower you with those things.
Nobody should have to fight so hard, certainly not a child, but if the fight must happen, the spirit and love you have are powerful, and I do pray they and medicine will gain the upper hand.
A saying sometimes attributed to Harriet Tubman, perhaps incorrectly, but the point is not who said the words, it is what they say:
If you are tired, keep going.
If you are scared, keep going.
If you are hungry, keep going.
If you want to taste freedom, keep going.

Kyle and Denise, Mary Kate and I check in on you every day. Your strength is amazing. Mary Kate had a rough road through chemo, but she didn't relapse or have a BMT. We do understand the "autopilot" mode, and it is funny how people say "I couldn't do it". What choice do you have? HOWEVER - we did not have anywhere near the setbacks and uncertainty you have had. Kyle, you are such a fighter and a "matter of fact" "Lets just do it" person. You will Kick Cancers' posterior. We are praying daily for you and for strength of your family.

I found your page from Ashley's. I am praying for your sweet, precious son. As the mother of a 12 yr old boy, it broke my heart and made me cry to read the entry where your sweet boy was praying to God to take his pain away:( I am adding my prayers and hope with all of us together we can get God's attention!

Your 3 children are all beautiful and you seem like such a loving, supportive mother. It has to be so hard, and must take such an emotional toll to see your baby suffer, so prayers for Kyle and his mommy too.

Hi Kyle! My name is Erica and you don't know me, but I'm praying for you all the time. In February, I organized the largest bone marrow donor drive in US history at Ohio University. We registered 2,458 donors!!! I can only hope that those donors will save the lives of so many leukemia patients just like you! After my drive, I became so impassioned about this cause that I began to read Caring Bridge journals of kids who received BMTs. You seem like such a great guy and I hope you heal very quickly. I check your page every day in hopes of a positive entry. Keep on fighting!

Love,

Erica

I am hoping and praying this new medicine will be the thing that helps Kyle's lungs. I pray for your strength, Denise, as I can't imagine how hard it is to deal with everything you do day to day. I give thanks for the wonderful support team you have that helps you. Most of all, I pray for you to walk out of there with Kyle, healthy and strong.

May God guide the doctors and other caregivers mind and hands as they work on you, let them have God's knowledge and find what the cause is of your latest infection and let it be gone from your body quickly. Miracles are as natural to God as breathing to us. Praying for your Miracle Healing. Surrounding you with Love Light and Blessings! Love and Hugs from Florida.

Matthew 17:19-20 when he said "I tell you the truth, if you have faith as small as a mustard seed, you can say to this mountain, `Move from here to there' and it will move. Nothing will be impossible for you."

Father, I ask You to bless my friends, relatives and those for whom I care deeply, who are reading this right now..
Show them a new revelation of your love and power. Holy Spirit, I ask You to minister to their spirit at this very moment. Where there is pain, give them your peace and mercy. Where there is self-doubt, release a renewed confidence through your grace. Where there is need, I ask you to fulfill their needs. Bless their homes, families, finances, their goings and their comings. In Jesus' precious name. Amen.

Denise,
LOOK at how he is fighting. He's a warrior through and through and WILL get through this. Just reading about how much improvement was over the course of one hour brought back the smiles. I hope you can hang on to those positives and push right thru the negatives. I also hope you are able to get some rest tonight...and a shower, maybe? :) You definitely deserve both! It was great seeing you today but next time it needs to be either on the 7th floor or OUT of the hospital!

Denise,
My first instinct was to call or text you but I can completely understand not wanting to talk to anyone so I won't but please know I am here if you need to unleash, cry, scream, rant, whatever.

You and I have talked about the power of thoughts and prayers and Kyle is such an incredible fighter...as are you. Dr. Q is undoubtedly on top of this and I hope that will give your mind some sense of comfort, he is an amazing physician.

My thoughts are with you guys and prayers are going up right now. I'm so sorry, Denise. You both have endured so damn much and deserve a break. I hope the new drug and increased steroids will offer that.

many hugs,
gina

Kyle, you deserve a medal of valor for what you've been through! Keep up your fighting spirit. Now that you've reached the 100+ day hurdle you KNOW you can do it (and we do, too!) Denise, I can only imagine the emotional rollercoaster that you keep riding. The LLS boards didn't even come close in preparing you for what to expect, huh? Just know that there are many of us other cancer/transplant parents out here praying for your family and for the day we can see you all finally get HOME. Kyle is an amazing kid and he has taught us all many important lessons in life.....Never Give up, Stay Strong, and F.R.O.G.

I've been reading your journal since the beginning and check on Kyle's progress daily. Both of my children have had major health issues and I've spent lots of time in hospitals, but it's nothing compared to what you two have been through. There is nothing worse than seeing your child sick and in pain...I don't know how you deal with it day after day. I hope this is over for you soon and you are able to get back to living your lives. Funny how spending months in the hospital can make even something as mundane as pulling weeds seem enjoyable! You are a truly remarkable woman.

I just know I would ask God daily to just give me what I needed for that day. To make it through and be there for Mary Kate. Just know that we are all out here praying for you. Loving you and wishing we could do something meaningful. I pray that the surgery is thorough and successful and eliminates the problem. Kyle, you are such a strong person. I wish we lived closer so you and Mary Kate could be friends. Love and blessings,

I am so sorry we haven't signed in for a while. We check your site daily. Kyle, you are a man. Most people never have to go through what you have. You are handling it all, and inspiring your mom, and we are ALL AMAZED at your strength and attitude. Mary Kate went through chemo and spinal taps, and BMB's, but the transplant has so many more issues. You will kick cancer's butt. I just wish there was something we could do to help with the discomfort, pain, boredom........ We are praying for you. For strength, for your continued courage, and for heaing most of all!!! it sounds like you are doing better. We love you.

I know we don't know each other, but do me a favor. research the myralax. Avery is on it. And they told us it has to be given at night, so he isn't up all night. Also I believe it isn't supposed to be given directly with the "formula". Our urologist said it reacts to it somehow. Its been a year. I don't remember all the details. But we have no pooping at night, just several times during the day. that may help some.

Happy Belated Birthday!

Continued prayers for Kyles full and complete healing. I found out that St. Peregrine is the Patron Saint of Cancer and found the following prayer that I would like to share:

A Prayer to St. Peregrine for One Suffering from Cancer

Dear St. Peregrine, I need your help. I feel so uncertain of my life right now.
This serious illness makes me long for a sign of God's love.
Help me to imitate your enduring faith when you faced the ugliness of cancer and surgery.
Allow me to trust the Lord the way you did in this moment of distress.
I want to be cured, but right now I ask God for the strength to bear the cross in my life.
I seek the power to proclaim God's presence in my life despite the hardship,
anguish and fear I now experience.
O Glorious St. Peregrine, be an inspiration to me and petitioner of those needed
graces from our loving Father. Amen.

Surrounding you with Love Light and Blessings! Love and Hugs from Florida.

I found Kyle's caringbridge site through another site and it touched me so. I have never posted but check his site, sometimes many times a day. I may not know you but I have prayed so hard for all of you. One night recently I woke in the middle of the night and found myself praying for each of you. I have a son I almost lost, not from cancer but an accident, Denise's words resonated with me, although I have not been though what you are going through now. Since this last struggle you have been in, I find myself checking his page first thing in the morning and last thing before bed. I say this to let you know there are probably many more like me that you don't even know that are praying for you guys. I hope and pray things are improving for you guys.

Dear Jen Jones~~BLESS YOU. I am serious. I do not know you at all, but I love ya nonetheless. YOU, my dear, are a friend of the highest order. I worry about Denise and Kyle; I will worry about them for a long time to come--but, because of you, I worry a little less. I KNOW how much Denise and the whole Owens-Lindgren family love and appreciate you, but I just want you to know that, as one of Denise's long-distance friends, I do too! There is a special place in Heaven with your name on it, Jen Jones!

I am so relieved and happy to hear about Kyle's progress. I just had a feeling last night that today was going to be a better day. Today, I feel this is the beginning of a permanent upswing for him...I pray this is true. It is SO beyond time for him to "turn the corner" and have only hopeful days again...

Love, hugs and never-ending prayers...

It's SO true that everyone's transplant journey is different, but it doesn't help in the middle of the night when things are so hard. Glad for a little good news today. We will never strangle the messenger!

Cyclosporin is such a mixed blessing--you have to have it to keep those baby cells from being rejected. But it has a boatload of side effects. Rest and heal today! Rest and heal. Jane

Davis too had seizures for a while, swelling in the brain and ALL WENT AWAY! The brain takes time to swell, stabilize and than come down. So it seems to take forever for that to happen.. I think we were in the 2 week range. They gave him antiseizure meds all along so he wouldn't seize. the seizures - have NO side effects unless he had a seizure that didn't stop and OBVIOUSLY that will never happen.

Stay strong - thats easy for me to say from afar but I'm sending luv and hugs many prayers to you all. What a wonderful network of loved ones. Your very lucky that way. Too bad you had to find out by Kyle being so sick.

OH how I hated hearing these words this morning. SEIZURES, a word any mother who has gone through them regrets. Or never should have to hear. If any more happen make sure they run an EEG. There may be another problem all together. I have learned that one over the years the hard way. I am sorry I didn't get a note in yesterday saying happy Mothers Day. It just went by for me for some of the same reasons it wasn't good for you. We should soon be in the hospital with you soon.

Praying for all of you. It breaks my heart that you have been fighting so long. I DO believe in the power of prayer, and that God will see you thru this. Below is a verse that always makes me think of you. I am sure you would trade your "shoes" for broken glass some days. Keep the FAITH, and Don't EVER give up!!! I beLIeVE; I have HOPE; I PRAY - - Every little things' gonna' be all right!

SHOES

I am wearing a pair of shoes.
They are ugly shoes.
Uncomfortable shoes.
I hate my shoes.
Each day I wear them, and each day I wish I had another pair.
Some days my shoes hurt so bad that I do not think I can take another step.
Yet, I continue to wear them.
I get funny looks wearing these shoes.
I can tell in others eyes that they are glad they are my shoes and not
theirs.
They never talk about my shoes.
To learn how awful my shoes are might make them uncomfortable.
To truly understand these shoes you must walk in them.
But, once you put them on, you can never take them off.
I now realize that I am not the only one who wears these shoes.
There are many pairs in this world.
Some women ache daily as they try and walk in them.
Some have learned how to walk in them so they don�t hurt quite as much.
Some have worn the shoes so long that days will go by before they think
about how much they hurt.
No woman deserves to wear these shoes.
Yet, because of these shoes I am a stronger woman.
These shoes have given me the strength to face anything.
They have made me who I am.
I will forever walk in the shoes of a woman who has a child with cancer.

Oh, poor sweet Kyle! It truly has been one thing after another! Seems like anything that can go wrong, has. I know I'm not the only one who is hoping and praying that this is the last thing for him, and from this point on, it's all good. It will be good for the whole family to be back together at home. So glad they were able to be together yesterday, and thank God the seizures didn't happen while Ty and Riley were there. Many, many hugs and prayers for you, Denise and for sweet Kyle.

Kyle,

I have watched as you have battled this monster for 9 years. Through everything you have been so strong, brave and courageous. You are an inspiration to all that know you and to so many that do not. I know that you are tired and that this fight seems harder and longer than those you have fought before. It truly breaks my heart to know what you are going through. HOWEVER, this hard fight is for certain victory!! This time you mean business and this time the cancer is going to be gone forever. Keep moving forward and keep believing as each day forward gets you closer to home and closer to a healthy life. All of my thoughts are with you today and always. (Taylor also wants me to tell you hello)

Denise,

I like so many here check everyday (sometimes several times) to see how things are going for you guys. I don't usually sign the guestbook because I just don't know what to say and then I read others entries and they say everything I think anyway. But, today I want you to know that you and Kyle teach me so much everyday. It sure puts life's little things in perspective when I read your updates. The things we take forgranted everyday and do not even realize! I know that Kyle will make it through this dark time in his life and I can only imagine what God has in store for him..it surely must be great things. You are a GREAT Mom and I truly believe that Kyle chose you as a mother even before you knew he was to be yours. I understand your anger and frustration and I can't imagine all sufferring that you have had to watch. When it's the hardest and you think you can't go on anymore, try to remember that you have so many good things at the end of this journey. Focus on the Summer BBQ's and hanging out at home with all the kids for a movie night and know that you WILL get there..maybe not in your time but in HIS time. I really like what Taylors Mom said on her blog yesterday. She asked that her friens and family continue to wrap Kyle in prayers, love and Light! I will be waiting anxiously to hear how successful this prodedure is and then it will be an uphill road. Hang in there!

Kyle and Family,
What an honor it is to read about such a courageous and brave young soul! Our prayers and all the love from God, the angels and ALL that is I ask surround and fill you each and every day. You have such strength because you believe and I believe in you! Sending you all so much love and light!
My son was very ill when he was born with a heart defect. The doctors told us that this was a 1/1million and then within that he was in the lowest success category on top off that. He beat every odd that was against him. When I read your story it takes me back to the hospital and the feelings as we were at childrens too.. I would sit and imagine him running around at 10 years playing baseball and living! He is now almost 8 and I remember often that I visioned those moments when he was just a few days old.
We never believed what they said... we always believed that it didnt matter what the statistics or medical records showed... it is most certainly the will and the belief of the soul and all of those around you that make the biggest impact. Every day I felt Jesus around him, around me and that gave me strength. Don't ever forget that he is there every second, every moment with you! All our love and prayers.

You don't know me but trust me I know how you feel. Our children have completely different diseases but us mothers have the same anger, greif, heart wrenching sadness when all control is taken away from us and we are at the mercy of brilliant strangers to kiss it and make it better. Those who with even the best compassion, skill, walk in a room drop a bombshell and leave us devastated and having to clean up. The hardest thing is to hold your child and try to convince them it will be ok when you yourself need the holding. I felt your pain and want you to know I understand. It is what it is and you are doing a great job. Just be mom and let them do the rest. Kyle is in my prayers.

You and your family have been fighting this battle an incredibly long time, yet your faith and strength are clearly seen in your journal entries. May the Lord grant you strength and peace. I pray for a restful night for you and Kyle.

I would like to be able to receive notice of when you update this journal, but have been unable to find the link on Kyle's Caringbridge Homepage.

Hi Denise... FINALLY you went home and melted down. I'm very proud of your decision. You are holding up so incredibly well.... no one can know - just you - how horribly hard and draining this is on ya. I'm so sorry about that.

Hmmmm. you mention low sodium, also called hyponatremia.... I included the symptoms - they are interesting, no?

Hyponatremia symptoms may include:
Nausea and vomiting
Headache
Confusion
Lethargy
Fatigue
Appetite loss
Restlessness and irritability
Muscle weakness, spasms or cramps
another:
Hyponatremia may cause osmotic shift of water from the plasma into the brain cells. Typical symptoms include nausea, vomiting, headache and malaise.

What we learned to day at school is when your taking care of oncology patients your WHOLE day is nothing but labs, labs and more labs to dictate what where and when you make and act on any decisions.

My heart is with you and Kyle....thank god for your friends and Mom!

We have been following Kyle after linking in from Taylor Jones. Please know that we are praying for you all as well. While it is never easy to watch someone you love go through this beast of cancer and its various "treatments" (your face may have a smile but the heart is wrenched apart in so many places it seems it will never be able to be whole again)--please know that people are with you in spirit. We are celebrating the good moments and praying you through the difficult ones.

Today we celebrate with you over the news that Kyle is off antibiodics and steroids, that the fluid around his heart is reducing, he is kicking that tummy infection, and is showing signs of healing. We are in prayer for the continued leaps forward and for the pain each one of you are having to wade through.

Thank you for keeping us informed on Kyle's progress and for being honest in your posts. This helps us to know how more appropriately to pray for you, allows some of us who are on the "outside" gain knowledge and for those on the "inside" of the beast, to gain encouragement.

Yours in Washington

Denise,
My heart breaks for you and with everything I have I pray for your strength and Kyle's healing. You are strong when you rely not on yourself, but let the Lord carry you. Oh how I pray for Kyle's healing and a day very soon when you can both go home for some therapy that home provides. Keep fighting, I am behind you and praying for you so much!

Hey Denise. Live today as you have been doing. You're doing it right! We all lament what "could have been" when we are walking through cancer and its treatment. Just remember, you have today, and God WILL give the kids the strength and grace to get through it okay. Just ask! And then TELL THEM! Love from Memphis! Jen

Praying for a better day today. I am sooo sorry that with every step forward there seems to be more backwards. Continue to fight the fight and keep the faith. God is watching over you all and I feel has something amazing and wonderful in store for your whole family when this fight is finally WON!! Continuing to pray each day for you all.
Hugs and God Bless you all.

I am praying, praying, praying that HOME becomes more than just a hint...as quickly as possible. I truly think that will be a turning point for Kyle; the poor guy must feel like he's never going to get sprung. And you know all the rest...I already told you.

Denise, I think about you guys so often throughout the day. I hate that you are still there and I know that frustration, that anger, that crazy feeling in the back of your head to tear the entire room apart just to find some inner peace..wait, you do feel that, right? right? ;) And watching helplessly while your baby is in pain..it's wrong and so unfair. If you need anything, Shane is here at night and I can rush over there with a meal or a starbucks or whatever. You can also text or call anytime of the day or night. And I MEAN it.

hugs,

I for one WISH that question "How are you?" was only used when someone actually wants to know and has the time to get the true answer. I get frustrated with that question when I am at my breaking point also. At times I have told people the real answer and got balled out by my boss for it! "People don't really want to know" she tells me. ... "They are just being polite." ... REALLY? I beg to differ!

My prayers are with you and yours. I pray for the kids with cancer, their siblings and parents. I pray for grace, I pray for peace, I pray for pain relief, I pray for wisdom for the doctors, I pray for things you need, I pray for ... In Jesus' name, Amen!

Dear Denise,  I'm sure I'm not the only one who sits here wonding what I could possiby say, yet wishing I had some kind of magic to make things better. How I wish I did. My heart aches at all you and Kyle, and really, the whole family have gone through, and continue to go through. We know it will all be worth it, to have Kyle finally healed and whole, yet how difficult the getting to that point is!  My prayers will join with yours that you will all be back together to have a wonderful, "normal" summer, doing all of those blessed, ordinary things that will feel so good. Praying also for strength for the day, and for whatever it holds. I hope with all my heart that Kyle will have relief from the headaches today. {{{{Denise and Kyle}}}}

Dear Sweet Mama
oh how i know your pain, frustration, the SADNESS, AND loss that you speak of. Having been there ALL i can say is TRUST GOD. What a terribly long and difficult journey you have been on. Though you don't understand now, someday you will! I asked GOD through every single miserable day, " what am i supposed to be learning here??" and he showed me. The LORD is faithful, i am soo sorry for your pain, but HE can turn it into good over time. This is probably impossible for you to understand now. Just know many are praying for and with you on this journey. Check out my video link below please. Maybe our story will give you HOPE in the midst of hopeless moments.
May GOD be with you, and show you the way, hold tight to his hand. HIS best work is done in our complete weakness and surrender!!!

Know that you are doing the very best you can on all fronts. That's all you can do. It's a dark, hard time right now. There have been some better times, and there will be lots more, but it is hard to see. Next time Kyle is feeling a little better, see if they will let you get out in the hall for a bit. Then maybe outdoors for a few minutes. It'll happen. Holding you close! Jane

May God Bless you and your family. I know a little of your pain and feelings. The part that struck me was the part when you said you no longer make plans. 2 years ago on May 14th we found out that Melanoma had returned in my then 21 year old niece's brain. She underwent a 10 1/2 hour brain operation to remove 2 tumors, 3 weeks of full brain radiation and a year of chemo. It was so hard to make plans for next month, next week or even tomorrow because we never knew what it would bring. But really it goes to show we take our lives for granted when all is well and we should never really let ourselves ge that comfortable. My niece lives with 14 small tumors in her brain still yet, but she loves her life. God will take care of you and your family just as He has ours and He will see you through.

Denise, I found your site because of Gina Taylor. I can feel your pain, trying to find "normal" is so hard I know. Each day is a struggle to keep you feet planted on the ground and hold it all together. I pray that you and Kyle and your family can be together and find that "normal". We must keep the faith that some day it will come and if you need to melt down do it! We can only take so much. I will pray.

Denise thank you for sharing your thoughts and feelings. I pray you know that this is a safe haven for you to do just that and we are here to support you no matter how it is that you wish to express yourself. Your recent post brought tears to my eyes as I can feel your frustration and there is nothing more than I wish you and your family but normal in the daily things you do and plan. As for the control thing I understand that too. I found that the serenity prayer helps me when I get that out of control feeling. Funny thing when I first started saying it over and over and over -- well you get the idea, it finally hit me that I can only control myself, and here I was thinking I could do everything.

God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change; courage to change the things I can; and wisdom to know the difference.

Here are a few more prayers and verse that may help bring you peace.

Lord, look upon me with eyes of mercy, may Your healing hands rest upon me, may Your life-giving powers flow into my every cell of my body and into the depths of my soul, cleansing, purifing, restoring me to wholeness and strength for your service in Your Kingdom, Amen.

"For I know the plans I have for you,� says the LORD. �They are plans for good and not for disaster, to give you a future and a hope� (Jeremiah 29:11, NLT).

�I will answer them before they even call to Me��
(Isaiah 65:24, NLT).

There is a great radio station here in Florida that I listen to and you can get on your computer is Z88.3 the songs have such great uplifting stories to them.

My continued prayers are with you all. Surrounding you with Love Light and Blessings! Love and Hugs from Florida.

Dear Denise, I felt the need to write after your recent entry. You do not know me but I am praying for you, your sweet "little" guy (what a smile he has:)), your older son and your daughter.
There is no second set of footprints in the sand right now.He is carring you.Holding you tight in His loving arms.He knows the pain. On the cross He cried out to the Father...MY God, my God why have you forsaken me????(Mark 15:34)He knows...
I will not say I understand what you're going through,I have not been down that road...but my prayers are going up for you, prayers for God's peace and comfort to overtake your soul(Isaiah 40:31
But they that wait upon the LORD shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint), prayers for Kyle's healing.

I'm glad you FINALLY let that out. I'm not going to tell you that sometimes people ask you how you're doing because they REALLY want to know but that it's you who has to get to the point where you REALLY tell them...nope, I won't tell you that because you already know it. Right?

This has all been mounting up, piling up, and getting put "in the back" for the NINE YEARS that all of you have been dealing with this. It's been two months THIS time...but it's truly been NINE YEARS. No, by gosh, you are NOT alright, and it's okay for you to say it. You should more often. You KNOW you have people who want to hear you and be there for you. You need to let them a little more often. Just sayin'.

DO NOT call me. I'm thinking maybe if I say it that way, you will. For four days, you've been saying you're going to, but you don't. So, now I'm saying DO NOT. :)

You know Denise... it brought to me when you said Ty is 16... that Darrel was 16 when Davis was in the hospital at 11/12. It is really hard on them, and they won't let you see cause they know you are struggling too and they don't want to make your life any harder. I never knew the extent of how hard it was on him until AFTER Davis was done with treatment. If he shows signs of staying away from home with friends, getting a job and working long hours.... pay attention to that. I was just happy Darrel had something to occupy him while I was busy in the hospital, not knowing the turmoil that was really going thru his brain. He felt like the "Man" of the house and had to "provide" and not be in the way or cause extra money or trouble.

Just something to keep your eye on.......

Gosh, I hope they clear up those darn headaches! Is he still on TPN or steroids? Blood sugar can cause headaches too...... it may be that he'll suffer like this until he's off all the nasty meds completely. what are the side effects of the "other" meds, including antibiotics, he's on? Google the medications and look at the side effects, or email them to me, I have LOTS of medication books I can look them up in. Sometimes its the combination of meds.....What doesn't happen to one child, doesn't mean it won't happen to another. He may be a rare one.

PRAYERS and HUGS for you BOTH..... You need to call and talk to someone about how you really feel, how sad, frustrated and pissed off you are without them rolling their eyes, or not understanding what its like being in that hell hole for days on end without answers. I'm here.... if you need to vent. 952-412-8551

It is okay to have a meltdown...you will pull up your boot straps and move on right? What choice do you have. I am praying you all can go home soon and be together - it is such a hardship on the whole family and for that I am sad. Keeping you in my thoughts and prayers as you continue to fight for Kyle's health and your family.

Oh, the Bert & Ernie eyebrows: they are from cyclosporin or another immune suppressant drug. They will go away. I didn't lose my eyebrows, but they grew longer. My hair came back very curly and eventually straightened out. Some people do have a permanent hair color change. I was hoping for red.

Everybody's journey is different. Each path has hard times. You've had ENOUGH of the hard times. I was wondering about headaches and fluid intake also. What a tricky balancing act this is.

I do know it will get better, and you will get outta there! You can do it. You can. There will be something fabulously beautiful to notice today. Jane

I pray he will be able to hold them down and that his dehydration gets better. I know I get headaches when I don't drink enough. Usually that is when Austin is doing bad and I forget myself as I am caring for him. I am also glad to hear you were able to go home for a while and get a small break. Kyle is in my prayers often.

You & Kyle continue to be in our thoughts & prayers here. It has been so long since I've seen you, yet I see you in my heart each day, fighting the good fight.
I don't know if you ever know this, but my 32 yr old nephew had a liver transplant in 2001. He was born in 1976 with biliary atresia. Our family, esp. my brother, can feel intimately what you as a mom are going thru.
He was just in the hospital 2 weeks ago with hepatic encephalopathy of unknown origin at this point. Didn't know his parents, didn't know he had siblings....only knew his name. His ammonia levels were off the charts, although his liver enzymes were normal. He had an H&H of like 3/20! With meds & blood transfusion, he recovered from that, but who knows for how long...by the grace of God, he was home for spring break (he is a professor & doing graduate work in Missouri...they live in Cincinnati) He takes so many meds...I guess they are for anti-rejection?
This world we live in offers us little answers for our whys...but hold on, as we are & I know you are. God IS in control. You are an awesome mom. You will have many crowns to present at the feet of Jesus when you see Him face to face.
Your friend,

Thornton, CO Adams - Monday, April 20, 2009 3:16 PM CDT

O Denise... Davis was Kyles age when he was being treated for Leukemia, weeks in the hospital - getting everything and experiencing everything a boy their age SHOULDN"T have. All he kept saying is he wants to be "NORMAL" and what he shouted out daily is ALL I WANT IS TO BE LEFT ALONE AND TO GO HOME... over and over.

This age group is so damm hard. They KNOW whats going on completely. They are at that stage of puberty where their body is making them crazy... add steriods, add stress, add being holed up for a MONTH. Davis became the worse patient, being impatient, ornery, mad as hell at everyone. Cried alot, was depressed, even went into panic attacks. Its so dam hard to watch....

Nothing ever seems to lead to being a normal boy while in the hell hole call a hospital that will save your son ..... yet makes them live thru things they never ever should. They should be running, sliding, playing, being loud and rough and tumble.

My dear Denise... hold on, each hour feels like years.... but it'll be over soon! I'm sorry for your frustration, Kyles pain and frustration... I wanted to write to you because your words reminded me of me so many years ago with a boy the same age. Know that how Kyle is reacting is very normal for his age. You will have that happy go-lucky Kyle back real soon. With 100% donor cells, with a new cancer free life. His little body just has to adjust, and it sucks the way its doing it - but remember what stress its facing and hopefully Kyle will feel better knowing that the insulin is helping his body except the cells and heal the cancer damage. In a painful way, its a good thing and something that should only be for a tiny part of his life.

HUGGLES Denise - its harder on YOU than on Kyle. Remember... hormones (including those disgusting steriods) he is reacting, without even realizing it. Davis to this day, does not remember those bad days in the hospital. But I do.... and you will too, but Kyle WON'T over time.

Hi Kyle!

Sweet Princess Taylor has a prayer request in her journal for you today, so I thought I'd take the link, zip over and let you know I'm praying for you.

I am praying that you'll get some good, deep rest today for strength and endurance; minimal discomfort in your tummy area when the insulin comes to visit you; and all round improvement each day. The goal is: HOME. One of THE BEST words in the dictionary! ;o)

I am sending you oodles of hugs, praises and prayers. I am praying for your Mom and whole family, too.

Gee, is it a surprise that my last test was on Diabetes??? Man, I'm not SURPRISED that he hasn't showed signs of high blood sugar earlier.... its the body's defense mechanism to emotional and physical stress... almost everyone has it after a surgery. I'd be curious to exactly what his reading was. normal is 60-125 randomly, but 2 hours after you eat, normal can be as high as 145. There is a blood test called HgA1C. It will tell you what his glucose is in his blood on an average basis. We almost always give insulin to people out of orthopedic surgery.... it allows the body to heal. Kyle is trying so hard to heal that his body is stressed. Not for long Kyle! Your turning a corner and will be feeling great soon.... HUGS from MN

A Prayer to St. Peregrine for Sick Relatives and Friends

O great St. Peregrine, you have been called "The Mighty", "The Wonder Worker" because
of the numerous miracles which you obtained from God for those who have turned to you in
their need. For so many years, you bore in your own flesh this cancerous disease that destroys
the very fiber of our being.
You turned to God when the power of human beings could do no more, and you were favored
with the vision of Jesus coming down from His cross to heal your affliction. I now ask God to
heal these sick persons whom I entrust to you:
Kyle
Aided by your powerful intercession, I shall sing with Mary a hymn of gratitude
to God for His great goodness and mercy. Amen.

Surrounding you with Love Light and Blessings! Love and Hugs from Florida.

We watch that show at our house too.
Sending Prayers your way Kyle that the doc's at TCH will finally be able to give you some answers to the reasons for your fevers and tummy pains. Hang in there with all the tests. Densie you too. I know we all keep saying it.. but it bares repeating. You and Kyle are two of the strongest,tuffest people I know. Everyday I read your journal and continue to be amazed by your strength and endurance through this stressful time. Keep up the the good fight. Hugs to you both.

Hey, Kyle!

Princess Tay Jones sent me over. She has a link in her journal for you. How cool is that?? She sure is a sweetie and had nothing but great words for you.

I want you to know I'm praying for you today and asking the Lord to bless you with those certain, special things He sees you stand in need of. May He lay His healing hands on you to lift the fever, pain, tummy trouble and give you some good, deep rest for strength, endurance and vitality. I know He wants you to check out of that Big Hotel just like the rest of us.

Keep up the good work, Kyle. Keep kickin' 'it' in the can. I know you are one, tough warrior-type guy.

Sending oodles of hugs, praises and prayers. I am praying for your family and medical care team members, too.

That's a milestone! I hope the itching and tummy troubles will lessen, and Kyle will have a good night tonight. Nice to have brother time today! It was probably good for them both, as well as for mom to see them together! Counting down the days until you are all back together again!!!

And you also don't have to boil the eggs to dye them. If you're going to hide them somewhere other than the egg carton, it might be safer, but you don't have to cook them. Have you tried this: simmer eggs 5 minutes, turn heat off, let them sit 20 minutes in the hot water, then chill them? Easier maybe. Hope all continues on the upswing for you! Jane

Hey Kyle, What happened for me was that my taste buds came back all at once after I was home for a little while (I got to go home on day 11). I was amazed and pleased when taste returned! You will be too! Just keep thinking of what might taste good and try it. I think cool things like milk shakes and even Jello were good, but I liked the crunch of toast too.

Hope you'll be outta there and back home really sooooooon! Best wishes! Jane

Glad to hear his counts are doing well. I hope his tummy troubles and itching and other effects will be less and less today. Wish I were nearby; I am O negative blood type, I'd be glad to give him some of mine! Actually, I'll be ready to donate again in two weeks; I'll be thinking of him when I do.

Hope your day goes well today. Thinking and praying for you both!

On another note, Gosh Kyle, you look great. Do you know you look older with a little more weight on you? It makes you look extremely handsome and very teenager like. You'll be a chick magnet for sure when you break out of that place. Feel better....

I was surprised that HHV6 virus (roseola) is so common and that CMV and it goes together most times (seems CMV can make HHV6 come out again?) also looks like CNS issues are only if this is his primary or first time he has the virus and chances are really slim thats true.

Hi Denise and Kyle,
My name is Kori Hayes and I am from Gold Ribbon Families. I learned about Kyle from Michelle Butler. I read your page today and wow have you been through it all! I am so sorry that you are stuck in BMT but it will all be worth it in the end. I have a son that had Osteosarcoma in his leg and is now an amputee and cancer free(knock on wood) for 31/2 years now. It's hard to think we've come so far. Time is a strange thing that I don't think I will ever have a handle on again since cancer. My son is now 10 and doing well. I know that you will be soon in his place, doing well and thriving. Hang in there and if there is anything we can bring you, don't hesitate to let us know!! We will be thinking about you and praying for you!
Tell your mom that we have a webpage that she can go to to learn more about our group. We would love to meet you soon! www.goldribbonfamilies.org. Please e-mail me with any questions! We'll be back to check in on you!

{{{{{Denise and Kyle}}}}} Everything will get better. I am just so sorry that things are so hard right now. Praying Kyle will get relief from the itching, and be able to get some regular sleep. It has to suck to feel so lousy. And be completely heartbreaking for you to see him going through it all.

Sending love and prayers that today will be a better day,

love, suzanne

Any way to get him some exercise (even in your room)? It will help a lot! This is a really hard time, but it will get better. Good for that ANC--keep it up! Jane

Denise,
I am so sorry that Kyle is having such a rough road. I was so wishing and praying that he would soar through transplant. I am so thankful that you have such a wonderful friend like Jen by your side. I know it is difficult but let Jen or your Mom sit with him while you go take a nap. It is so important that you get rest, the last thing you need is to get sick and not be allowed to stay with him. Please let Kyle know that we are praying hard
((HUGS))

Hi Denise and Kyle,
Just checking in on you and hoping at least for the moment you are both feeling good! I dropped off dinner at the house this afternoon and I hope they enjoy it although I wish I was dropping off a meal for you and Kyle and that you were both home. Well soon that will happen!
Have a good night and take care.

Hi Denise,
I remember the comments from nurses. It really hurt me too. That's your baby, that is in complete misery and at their mercy, they should keep their mouths zipped. I don't think that Maddi's nurses really meant to hurt me, I don't know that they realized what they were saying. They've never been in your shoes... maybe they don't understand. But they should really watch what they say. That should be part of their training. I got to the point where I started pointing out to them, that what they were saying might not always be taken the way they mean it. They did give me intentional crap about the thermometer that I made them use, the ear ones didn't work on Maddi for some reason. I just wanted an accurate temp... what's so wrong with that?
Well, hang in there honey. I really wish there were something I could do for you guys. Maddi and I are praying for you often, more than daily!!!! Everytime I think of you guys, I stop and pray. We have Kyle's picture on our computer screen saver right now. We love you guys a lot, and really are pulling for you.

Castle Rock, CO - Tuesday, March 24, 2009 12:14 AM CDT

Kyle - You should ask the nurses to bring in a trampoline, cuz that makes me feel better, maybe it would make you feel better too.
My friend Brooke has a joke for you, "Knock Knock, (you say who's there?) Lettuce, (you say lettuce who?) Lettuce in."
How do you put and elephant in the fridge?
You open the door, shove the elephant in and then close the door.
How do you put a giraffe in the fridge?
You open the door, take the elephant out and put the giraffe in and close the door.
There's an animal conference - everyone was there except for who?
The giraffe, he's still in the fridge.
You have to cross an alligator infested river, how do you get across?
You just swim across cuz all the alligators are at the conference.
Hope you feel better.

Hey guys,
Well in light off the mouth sores, I think I'll wait to bring goodies until Kyle can eat them too. These are the yummiest of goodies, so I don't want him to miss out on them.
Kyle, you are sooooooooooo brave! I'm so sorry that you are going through so much in your young life, God must have GREAT AND HUGE plans for you!!! Maddi and I are thinking of you, praying for you, and cheering for you! You are a HERO for sure
Denise, I can just barely imagine what you are going through. You are incredibly strong and courageous! You are a HERO as well. Hang tough girl - well I know you will... and just a little reminder, I'm here if you need anything. If you'd like to go have a cup of coffee, I'd love to come down and have one with you.
So much love for all of you!

Wow, that must have been scary for Kyle, having an allergic reaction like that... But what a trooper, the things he is going through and getting through, and making such amazing progress as he is!! You are one inspiring kid, Mr. Kyle!

And have I said recently how awesome you are doing, Denise? So much to keep track of, and being there constantly; dealing with all of those doctors, nurses and therapists; and trying to stay connected with Ty and Riley and your outside world... you are going to deserve a really nice vacation after you get through this! Somewhere involving a lot of pampering.

I hope Kyle will be feeling well today, and keep making great progress towards healing and recovery. Thinking of you always!

For the lungs I suggest the following items- I did this for Jackie when she was on the chest tube...
bubbles
kazoo
balloons
recorder

If Kyle is able to blow into any of the above it will slowly improve his lung function- these things seriously worked for Jackie

Wait.......I have a good question. We have to all weigh in on this. If I do a count up wasn't yesterday Day 1 on the Road to Broomfield and today be Day 2. It looks like though that this would be Day 1. Very very confused here in NJ. Some would say there is nothing unusual about that! :o)

In any event, Kyle.....Feel better! There will be a package from Florida the end of next week to make you smile. OK? Take care dude.

There are so many people here who and thinking and praying for you. I know you would want to be anywhere else than where you are right now but think how well you will feel when the transplant takes and you head back home. I will count up every day just like I did for Matt. Take good care Kyle L. Its a long road but you will make it. Take care little man. Toughts and prayers right at ya.

Denise and Kyle - Thank you for sharing this journey. I am glad to hear there was little to report about the actual "transplant" and it seems a success yesterday. What a blessing. I am sure there will a few bumps along the way but nothing you can't overcome and get through with flying colors. Prayers to you as you check the days off!

Wow, that must have been nerve-wracking to be waiting for the 11 oclock hour, only to have it delayed... But now those miracle cells are in, and hopefully making themselves at home and starting to do their job of getting Kyle healthy and strong! So glad the that fevers subsided. Now hopefully the nausea and diarrhea will, too, so you both can get some more rest. That is awesome of Ty to be there for Kyle on such a momentous day. I bet it meant a lot to them both. So glad he could be there with him.

Hi Kyle, my favorite updates are when you are playing WOW. I have a 13 year old son who is an Xbox addict, COD5. He talks more on his game then he does in person (he's really shy). Sometimes I think he's talking to me when he's on his headphones. Can't wait for another WOW update.

Oh Denise... the toxic cancer is now leaving his body and his body is going in a kindof a shock over it... even tho its HORRIBLE to watch (I remember so well and the tears are here for you...) its toxins leaving and thats good! I remember well the 105 fevers, the low BP and watching the monitor and wishing the numbers would change. You have every right to be scared shitless.... it is scary! He will turn this toxic corner before you know it. Before you know it he'll have those beautiful eyes clear and painfree smiling into YOUR eyes! HUGGLES from afar....

I'll bet that even if Kyle remembers the comment he made to you while angry, he will feel very bad about it when he is calmer. He KNOWS how much you love him and how you've been there with him every step of the way, fighting to get him well.

This is just so hard, for you both. Sending love your way today, and hoping it is a better day...

Oh my... you poor thing and poor Kyle. His age is tough because he is so aware. I dealt with this with Davis and my words of wisdom? Not a lot, he probably won't even remember he said it. Davis remembers being angry, hurt, sad, but he does NOT remember individual comments he made. Sean is right - the chemo and cancer is whats talking and there is NO WAY he meant that comment. Might be better to talk around the comment and see where Kyle leads you. He probably feels awful he said it right now or else he probably doesn't remember blurting those words out. If I could have a dollar for every hurtful thing Davis said during treatment.....

Hang on Denise. A new day is born. Hope things run smoother for you both.
Mary Lee <mleep@msn.com>

The first day is over Denise. Now you and Kyle are on the long road home. I will start a count up when he gets those cells he needs. What you heard today was the cancer talking. The monster is being sucked right out of the little man and it lashes out where it can. Its what happens when you are so busy and so focused on kicking the monsters ass. Deep breathes and talk to Kyle tomorrow morning. I bet that you come up with just the right words for him. I am sure that your life specialist is doing a great job for you both. I am looking forward to the day you both walk out of that hospital and never look back. Good positive thoughts and big hugs all the way from NJ. Hang in there Denise. You're the BEST.Thoughts and prayers right at you both. Peace today and always.

Over the years I've managed to put those thoughts out of my mind.... after reading your journal, they are all coming back. Watching helplessly as they wheel your child in for treatment that is horrible in your mind. You have every right to want to throw up. I FEEL your pain Denise, I remember those times. Watching them bring your child to death and back to get better... it tears you up inside like you said. BUTTTTTT
The treatment saves our childs lives, its that necessary evil that we suffer through because we will do everything in our power to give our loved one LIFE. Denise... I have really good feelings about Kyle. I usually don't have good feelings when I feel like it won't work. But with Kyle, I feel nothing but healing and survival.

I'm most concerned about you... watching helplessly, seeing your baby, knowing he's old enough now to know the scoop completely (Davis was this age when he got sick). Know that I am here for you in mind and spirit. I prayed for you in church Sunday, for Kyles fast recovery.

Kyle...what a guy; I am absolutely amazed at how brave he is, and his mental determination. He's way beyond his years in that regard. And you...you have so much more strength than it feels like you have right now (to you). You're right there every step of the way, lots of times with your mind AND stomach reeling, but you ALWAYS do what needs to be done and you'll continue. I'll keep checking in for updates and I'll text and call and leave you messages on voicemail. Do not even think about answering; it's just the only way I can think of to let ya know I'm with ya. Hang in; you're doing fine! ♥

everything will be ok because it has to be ;)

I know you have a lot of pets and although CHOP allowed us to keep our dog, most transplant places do not allow pets in the home following transplant especially ferrets, lizards, etc. You may want to check now so you can find temporary homes where needed. Each transplant center is SO different. At CHOP the mask that Jackie had to wear was a normal surgical type mask, other transplant places insists on a special mask that I believe costs a lot of money, and not all are covered by insurance - another thing to ask since he will be sporting a mask for 90 days post transplant.

I love all the new pics, give your hero a hug from us

Kyle I think it is great that you have a donor, I guess the good lord answered one of my many prayers. I wrote a poem for you and the original will be at your school with Dr. Gordon, can you have your mom pick it up? Josie Sullivan goes to your school and she was the inspiration for the poem, I hope you like it and like I state in it Get Well Soon so you can return to school and a normal life, God Bless.
David W Sullivan <david.sully@comcast.net>
Broomfield, Co United States - Saturday, January 31, 2009 5:31 AM CST

First, I don't know how I missed the exciting news that you have a donor! Now it's full speed ahead. I do know how scary it is at this point--I had a transplant for chronic leukemia in 2004. I'm totally back to the rest of my life.

Secondly, if you don't know Nancy Vinson in Fort Worth, IN, do contact her through Matthew's CB page: www.caringbridge.org/in/matthewk He's been through a lot in the past year since his transplant, but he is now doing really well and is back in school.

It really helped me to read about and meet survivors. Focus on success! You can do this! Best to you from Jane

Kyle,

I found out about your story through facebook. I knew your mom in High School, so I connected with her. I looked up your website and read about your battle with cancer.

Your story has really touched me. You are a fighter and such an inspiration to so many people. Continue to fight this terrible disease with courage and strength. God is always with you!

If I go to my 20 year reunion this summer, I would love to meet you - it would be such an honor. So get better sweet boy! You and your family are in my prayers!

Dogs... don't you just want to give them a good, swift kick in the rear sometimes? Sorry about the tripping, falling and knee hurting in the early morning. Just what you don't need on top of all the things you are trying to do and keep track of. I can't imagine facing the unknowns (and the knowns!) of transplant. I know you all with get through it, and Kyles' going to be better again. Better than ever, even if the road to get to that point will be rough. I think of you all often, in the midst of the chaos and craziness we have here. Kyle will be in my thoughts today as he goes for his scans, and tomorrow too, with the counts. One day at a time is right... you'll get through it and we are here with you. Wish I could give you a hug, sounds like you really need one now {{{{{{Denise}}}}}}

Hey, I just wanted to stop by and reiterate that nobody else, no matter how well-intentioned, has the right to tell you how to handle Kyle's treatment. Unless they are Kyle's mother, which is impossible because you are the only one who is his mother, they have no business being "upset" about your decisions. Information-sharing is always a good thing, but all decisions are ultimately yours.

And don't worry about those medical bills. The rent that you charge me when I come to live with you guys because I have lost my job and can't afford my house and cannot find a new job here--will help you pay those bills. WA-LA, EVERYONE'S A WINNER! BWAHAHAHA! ♥♥love and miss ya♥♥

Denise and Big Bed Kyle: You know a few weeks ago you were a little discouraged Denise. Its a amazing how Kyle has beat back the monster, is home, and safe and sound in his own new bed. I think I can say that it seems you feel really good too. Being home and having Kyle feel better does wonders. The trick is to feel stronger for the next round. I think you are so strong, as I said before. Build that energy for the next step. You will need it and I guarantee you will have it and be ready to cope with anything. You are some kind of Mom.
Kyle you are doing so well. I bet you already have had what.....5 wrestling matches with Ty and lost all 5. LOL. He is a little older. Feel better there Kyle L. Glad you are home.

Hey Kyle...just between me and you, did you try that oxygen alarm thing in the nurses station yet? I am telling you the alarm won't ever go off again if you do that. Just dont let your Mom catch you. :o)
So it Steelers and Cardinals in the Super Bowl. What do you think?? The Steelers are Matt F's team so I am going to go with them. You and I both know who should be in in don't we? Of course we do. This should have been a Packers- Broncos Superbowl this year.
A good walk outside today. Thats a good thing. One step at a time there Kyle. Next thing you know you will be home. So take it easy there Kyle. Go Steelers I guess.....I am a Yankee fan. I need that season to start ASAP! Thoughts and prayers right at you and Matt F.

Nice to see the ANC coming up. I hope it will get to where it needs to be soon, so you can get back home. I guess you know you've been there long enough when even laundry and cleaning sounds better than being there! I bet it will seem good to get back again.

Wow, nearly 70! Send some of that east, will you? It was a whole 3 degrees this morning when I brought the girls down to the bus... brrrr!

Hope you have a good night, and maybe we'll see those counts even higher tomorrow. See you around facebook! :-)

Way to breathe deeply there Kyle....Way to breathe deeply. The way to fix that oxygen alarm is to get and extension cord and run it into the nurses station. They will really appreciate the excitement. So Kyle...when your Mom is not looking..... :oP
My dad had that when he was in for an ulcer the week before Christmas. it was ridiculous (not the good ridiculous the badd ridiculous). Well anyway, hang in there Kyle from Colorado. Thoughts and prayers right at ya. Remember Kyle don't forget to breathe....I mean like breathe deeply. :o)

Alright Kyle. You had a bad day yesterday but you are doing much better today and you were good enough to fight off the ICU. So dude, lets keep going. Time to fight back. Time to step it up another notch. You have to work very hard on your breathing exercises cause they are going to help you get rid of all that crap in your lungs. You also have to know you can do it and just work hard at being well. I now you can do it. Look how far you have come so far. Little set backs don't effect you. You think those Bronco or Rockies players give up when things are not going well? Never. NO way dude. It makes them work harder to get beter. Lets get going there buddy. This time when you walk out of the hospital doors you better run and run very fast. :o) So lets get going. You will be fine.
Denise, Kyle is a strong little kid. If this happened to us we would be in intensive care. Kylemeister is doing great. If he didn't give you anything to worry about what would you have to do? He will do fine now that the doctors have a good idea what is going on. We are all keeping you in our thoughts and prayers. Keep going there Mom. Jesus, you are one of the strongest women I know. Although I have never have met you personally, there are few that could ever keep it together like you. My God, Kyle is in the right place with the right doctors. He is going to do great! Really big positive thoughts and hugs and love all the way from NJ. Keep going. You will be fine and so will the Kylemeister. Lead the charge. Here we go!

Remember - I have 3 males age 17,19,21 are they are still.... males with a whole different thought process. They always loook at me as if I'm an alien. Don't fret it. don't take it personally.

Hi everybody,

Denise, I hope the antibiotics have got you feeling better; and that Riley is, too. It's no wonder you got so sick, what with always being on the go like you are; must have run you down. So, is your handsome devil back home? Hopefully he is feeling good after his platelet refuel. I hope you all get some good, quiet time at home, with nothing to do but enjoy surprise packages and enjoy visits with family and friends.

With love and prayers,

Hi Denise and Kyle,
Happy New Year to you both and to your whole family!
I hope Kyle has made it home and that you both are feeling better. Have a great rest of the week and weekend...and I hope you enjoy the "mystery" gift as it was "me" who left it for you! I just wanted you to know that people you don't even know are thinking about you and wishing you the very best because you absolutely deserve it!

AS a mother who has gone through this time of not being able to be there I really do understand. I know it doesn't help much but you trust your Mother to be at the hospital with Kyle, and u wont be any good to Kyle, or your other 2 kiddos if you get sicker.Take care of your self. Then in a day or two when you are feeling better head on up. I know I am always being told to take better care of myself becuase who will take care of Avery if I am sick. I get so sick of hearing it, but sometimes its true. I wish I could help you in some way with the medical. I know we don't know each other but sometimes we need help from anyone. Take care of you. Feel better I am praying for you.

Hi Denise and Kyle: Sent you a text message Kyle.
Sent two because my butthead phone company only
allowed 160 characters per email. I wrote them
back and told them that you were a character
Kyle and I am only sending it to one character.
They just don't listen. Hey Listen Kyle you
will do well with this therapy this week.
Your grandmom will be good too and I am sure
that she is pleased to be there to help.
Denise, you only have two hands. Don't worry
you are doing great too. The last thing you
want to do is get Kyle sick. Hope the
Rileymeister is feeling better soon.
Kyle, Dude I cannot beleieve they got
rid of Mike Shanhan either. What a
shocker. Maybe it will all turn out
well and he will end up in Green Bay.
That might make you a Green Bay Packer
fan....What do you think? I hope so.
Well you fight like hell to be well.
Kick some cancer ass and I will keep
you in my thoughts and prayers. Take
good care Lindgrens, and Riley and
Kyle you get better!

I know how hard it is as a Mom to watch these kids suffer and it can just be too much to bear. I hope you all can go home for New Years and be in your own beds.

Hey Denise,

If it's any help once my mom had the tree up until after EASTER! She was working full time and so was my dad at the time, both my sister and I were in day care and she finally had to ask someone to help her take it down... So having it up till mid-Jan if it comes to that isnt that bad...

I hope this stay doesnt turn into a long one. I know how they can go on and on and on.

Glad to hear you had an amazing Christmas! Have a Happy New Year.

Oh how many times one must cry in the shower so no one else knows! Than come out with a strong face. All your thoughts and fears are normal... Church - I remember when Davis was in the hospital - I did not go to church. The day I did, I burst into tears and had to leave. The atmosphere, the holiness... left me so vulnerable. I wasn't ready for it and it took me a long time to go without crying. I did my praying privately for a while.

Cry when you need to, cry when you have to, the grieving process is there once again. When your done, I know you'll wipe those tears and put on a smile and go to the next thing that has to be done. God bless you and give you strength and peace in your heart.

Xmas eve he will have his transplant. We are in MSP. M.N. Everything you feel,I feel! It hurts so bad and why, why ,why, would God want to do this to us? To them! Dylan is my son, he is 15 now and I have worked so hard to raise my 3 kids alone . It is so unfair to my family. We will continue to fight beacause there is nothing else we can do.

Denise,

Huge hugs from Vermont. We have not been through half of what you and Kyle have been through, yet I recognize some of your words. I don't know how you will get through it either, but the amazing part is that somehow you will. And I'm sure it is way harder doing it as the lone adult in the house, without a partner to hold things together while you focus on Kyle. But again, the amazing part is the network of friends and family that seem to be supporting you...somehow, some way, it will all happen as it needs to. You are incredibly strong--not just when you act like things are "fine" to those of us out here, but even when (especially when) you share how scared you feel. Your strength lies in knowing who and what to lean on--when to make the call for help, when to journal your sadness, when to clutch that glass of wine, when to lie in bed with the kids and giggle. I have faith too, faith that you will find what you need each day to do what needs to be done. Faith in you.

Hi Denise: I just read your post from today and I remembered my old friend Winnie the Pooh. I went back to look it up. I have seen it on other caring bridge pages. He said:

"If ever there is tomorrow when we�re not together.. there is something you must always remember. You are braver than you believe, stronger than you seem, and smarter than you think. But the most important thing is, even if we�re apart.. I�ll always be with you.
-- Winnie the Pooh
There is a lot of truth in that. Just look how far you and Kyle have come. Are you ready to tell us that you can't do it? Of course not. You will do it just as Mary Lee told you a few weeks ago. Hang in there Denise. Break it down into smaller pieces. Don't deal in months. Deal in weeks. If thats too much deal in days and then hours. When its all said and done it will all be behind you and you will not believe how brave or strong you actually were. So tonight, just think the first thing tomorrow I have to wake Ty up at whatever time. Then Kyle, then Riley. Just think of that first. Then your next task then think of the next task after that. Before you know it the day is over. Take a deep breathe. Move forward. You will be fine. Peace today and always....

I've followed Kyles site from Jackies, and spent the past few minutes getting acquainted. Your whole family has truly been thru IT. You've had some heavy duty info to digest and irrivocable decisions once you start. Take the time to put some distance there (mentally or physically); Transplant can save the life, but it can wring you out. Not more so that what you've already experienced. We found transplant was actually not so bad, but the isolation & infections that accompany it can be hard. I have heard good things about this dual cord blood transfusion, side effects & GVHD are less aggressive but it is pretty new & intrial. I am praying that your decisions are sound, you are at peace about them. I am praying for your family. Even Christ needed a little time away from the crowds pressing in, he got in a boat & the crowd beat him to the other shore. Does it ever end when your doing such a great job.

I too understand shattering on the inside while you're trying to be MOM to a cancer kid. I used to allow myself to cry on the drive to St. Jude. Every time practically. No one could see me weeping from the driver's seat. Once I hit the exit, I'd breathe through it, dry up my face, put on the happy, purposeful mom face and move foreward. That weeping mom is still inside if I think about what we watched Rachael go through or whenever we go for a check up. It sucks. I hate that you're in it. That being said, I still think everything is PROVIDENTIAL, and that one day, when facing God, we will know why all that happened did. And we will understand.

Remember that you can please everyone all of the time and this is not the time when you should be trying to please anyone except for your kids. This SUCKS and nobody has a wrong or right way to behave. People use to say I had no emotions- and that is true, I was numb and still am for the most part. Plus, I do not like for everyone to see me be weak. We do what we need to do to get through.

My dear Denise.... I DO understand. I also hide all those feelings deep inside because unless you've been thru it with your CHILD, you will never ever understand the constant fear. And I also don't want to talk about it to others. I don't want to see the pity, even tho they mean well.

You WILL do it Denise. You WILL do it because you have to. You will take one day, one hour, one minute and go forward. Why? Because even though it sucks 1000 different ways, you have to, because Kyle is your child and has no other. Because you love Kyle with all your being. Not because your a super Mom, but a Mom who loves your children. And..... here is the sucki part, you will do it because you have no choice. We cancer Mom's have NO CHOICE.

I remember turning to Davis as he was crying in the car because he didn't want to go to the hospital. Here I am, breaking into tiny little pieces and having to tell my 11 yo son that he needs to buck up because unless he goes to the hospital and does what needs to be done, he'll die. Plain and simple. I can't tell you what that did to me to see his eyes as the truth sunk in. I saw my son grow up faster than any child should have to. I know you have too and not only once, but three times now.

Yes Denise, I understand what a part of you is going through. Please email me if you want to talk. And you know what? I still hide out when I need to - the post traumatic stress is always just underneath the skin, but I put on a dam good front in front of others. Because they will never (I HOPE NEVER) understand.

Prayers, prayers, prayers for ♥Kyle♥. The same as everyday, but MORE :). I'm so glad you were both able to get some sleep last night; you did get some sleep, right?

On the (sort of) humorous side...you and your storage units! Hehehe I thought you were down to just the one??? If not, I think you need to have a storage unit sale; kind of like a garage sale but just have everybody go right over to the unit and buy/haul it away straight outta there. Good idea, no? :) Hey, always here for ya, babe...HA!

I'm around all weekend if you feel the urge to chat...

Jackie was part of the clinical trial that you are talking about the double versus single cord blood. She was randomized to receive one. I am still hoping we get a suitable donor for Kyle so that there are more options for him.

I brought a tape recorder to my meeting and I have played it back frequently.

Hello all!! I really pray Kyle's throat starts feeling better soon. It sounds like you did wonderfully at the transplant meeting. It is so hard when they are giving you so much info not to just get overwhelmed emotionally and loose it! I hope you all have a relaxing weekend at home and don't have to be admitted. You are all in my thoughts and you are doing an amazing job Denise! You guys just really seem to be an incredible family with so much love. All your kids are so brave and they all should be praised.

I sure hope all the mugs got there in one piece! I was a little hesitant about the movie - I hope you exchanged it if it wasn't "ok" for all to watch! Nothing like a good ole movie night.

Glad to hear all is pretty well at your house. Stay warm! We are freezin here....

Hello!
I have been following your journey faithfully for a long time but this is my first comment. My son's website is www.caringbridge.org/visit/wyattchurch. I wanted to second the suggestion sent in by another guest to check out www.supersibs.org. They have been wonderful in faithfully sending positive recognition to the kids even now.
Another site would be www.wapiyapi.org. Honestly the kids attend for one week a year and I hear about for the next 51 weeks.

Hey you! Just a few thoughts here. You're only one person and you do the best you can at any given time. You're not the only one who can give Riley some etachin! Ya feel me? BWAHAHAHA! Kind of ironic, in light of our conversation last night. So, please don't beat yourself up about this, too. You cannot be all things to all people 24/7, even though I know you try hard. Maybe Mrs. Clas needs to write Riley Lindgren a response??? Maybe there are some others of us out here who can throw a little etachin her way? Maybe there needs to be more than one 2X4 upside the head? Oh, I could go on and on. You and Jen are doing great. Don't feel bad, okay? ♥ :) ♥

Isn't it just amazing to see how much support you have from people you don't even know? I have been following your story Kyle and Denise since I saw it on 9 news last month. I am so glad the bone marrow drive went well and pray that a match will be found. Kyle, you inspire me - you are obviously such a great kid and Denise, you are obviously the most amazing Mom ever. Kyle is lucky to have you! You both inspire me and I wish you all the best and a happy holiday season.

Just wanted to write to you on your web site and let you know
that I am watching the Broncos kick the Jets butts right now!
Are you watching it too? At my house, we are huge sports
fanatics - anything to do with sports and we are watching
it on t.v.! Please know that we are praying for you at our
youth group every time we meet. You have a lot of teenagers
and adults praying for you (all the way from Indiana!)

Congratulations on a VERY SUCCESSFUL event last night! I was happy to see the room was packed when I walked in--that's a GREAT problem to have...so many people in a huge line all for KYLE. I'm sure that made you feel so proud of everyone's efforts in putting this together. Now we'll say a prayer there's a perfect match in the bunch for your handsome young man. He has been robbed of so much by this stinkin cancer--you all have, and nothing would make all of us happier than to see his cancer GO AWAY FOR GOOD.

Take care, we'll keep you in our thoughts and prayers~

Congrats on the huge success at your marrow drive! You all are blessed! Here's a little poem I'd thought I'd share.

HE'S ALWAYS THERE

When you're feeling bad and your head is low
Lift up your spirit and know
That God has you in the palm of his hand
To give you strength, so you'll stand

When you think you've come to a dead-end
And the barrier that's blocking you won't bend
Know that God is all around you
And Kick that barrier down in the wind

When you know you just can't take anymore
And failure seems to be knocking at your door
Look to your front and back, to your left and right
And know that God will take care of this fight

When you think things are just impossible
And all you want to do is scream and shout
Know that all things are possible in Christ
And He is your way out
For He's Always There

Hey God I need to talk to you again

Kyle,

My name is Michelle Shaw, I work on the 6th floor at the Children's Hospital, and my daughter Laryssa is also a 6th grader who attends Westlake as well. You may not know her personally, but she speaks very highly of you and says you are one of the bravest kids she knows. And from the sounds of things, I truly agree with her.

I have heard alot of great things about you, and have been reading up on your caring bridge journal. I truly believe you will pull through and win this battle again, which reminds me of a poem I recently read that I think describes you.......

"You can Do It"

I know this may sound easy, easier said than done. But it's just another battle, where you can say "I won!"

I'm sending strength to add to yours, to help you see this through. I'm sure that you can make it happen, this is something you can do.

You have won your battle before, and you can do it again. When this is over and done with, you'll chalk up another win!

Just hang in there and do your thing, I heard you have it in you. I'm also sure you'll come out on top, when this little battle is through.

Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family!!

Hi my name is Maria and I understand what you are going through. I was married to a man who I loved very much. We were high school sweethearts when he was diagnosed with Lukemia when he was 15yrs old. We then married and he finished his Chemo. We had a child who is 5yrs old now. My husband relapsed again in 2004 and he became weak to ride his motorcycle which he loved to ride. He was involved in a motorcycle accident on the freeway in December 10 2004. It was heart broken he never made it and died. I and his family went through tough times like you. I am anticipating to attend this monday and hopefully you can find a match. My prayers are with you

Hey guys! Thinking about you as it's the start of a new day and hoping it's a good one there...if you get time, shoot me a text and let me know what's happening cause you know I'll be wondering! I love this guestbook; there is so much support here from so many people and that makes me very happy. Kyle, you are a TV star; you're strong and brave and I admire you so much--and you're still a handsome devil, too. Denise, what can I say--love you, thoughts and prayers are always with you, wish I was there.

Talk to you later ♥ :) ♥

Denise - It's been a long time! (Hopefully Kyle remembers Ryan and Mackenzie, and Rylie was in Carson's kindergarten class)! I am so sorry to hear about Kyle's news but want you to know that we are keeping you guys in our thoughts and prayers. I am planning on coming to the drive, too. Will keep checking in to follow how Kyle is doing. Sending lots of hugs!!!!

Hi Kyle,
I had a good time hanging out with you at your house tonight. I liked hearing about all the stories that happened at the hospital. I liked playing with your three dogs. I hope I can come over to your house another time and you can come next door too.

Hi Kyle and family,
I'm the director of Sky High Hope Camp--a one week camp for children with cancer and their siblings. We are in our 28th year--all staffed by volunteers. Some of our volunteers are adults who had bone marrow transplants as children. Hang in there. We will be thinking of you. Contact us by e mail if you need anything. Would love to have Kyle's sister join us at camp--it's for ages 8-17 and is held July 12th-18th. Kyle, when you are recovered from your bone marrow transplant, we'd love to have you! Connie

I hope you find a match. I will be there at your school on the 24th and I pray that I might be a match for you to help you out, or that your match shows up.

Me and my boyfriend are trying for our first and it would be very difficult to have something happen like this to our son and we could not help him out because we weren't matches.

Best of luck to you & God Bless,

Ty, I hope you have a great birthday and an even better 16th year. If anyone deserves it, you do. Even though I love to needle you, I really have a lot of respect for the way you conduct yourself as a brother and son. Your Mom and siblings are lucky to have you, and they would be the first ones to say that, too. So have yourself a VERY HAPPY BIRTHDAY.

Denise--I love you, too. I'll answer your e-mail a little later this afternoon. I would call you, too, but don't want to break your momentum...hehehe! Always here for you, though...always. Have a good day, and I'll talk to you later, one way or another...

Hi Denise, Kyle and gang!

Just checking in to see how our "handsome devil" is doing. That is awesome that his counts were high enough that he could go to a movie! :-) I hope the situation with his voice resolves, and you will again here him as he should sound. Hope all goes well with your interview. Normal, huh? That's a good one!
You must be exhausted in every which way. I know I keep saying this, but I still can't believe you are thrown back into the front lines of this again. All of this vincristine, spinal taps, broviacs, and all the running back and forth. Sounds like though, you've got a great supportive team backing you up out there. And all of those folks like me, out here who will be praying you through it all!

with much love,

Thank you everyone for the great response in getting dinners taken care of for Denise! We now have a full week of dinners, and I think a few extras.
I now have consultants from Creative Memories, Close To My Heart, Silpada Jewelry, Pampered Chef, Beijo Bags, & Premier Designs Jewelry. I also have messages into Mary Kay, Scentsy, and Southern Living at Home. So come out to the Drive and take care of some holiday shopping all while helping out the Lindgren's.
I am still working on auction items for the Marrow Drive so please contact me if you have any connections with local businesses. Currently we have an item from Jeff Gordon, a 1 hour massage with the awesome Raquel Carter, and a giftcard and goodie bag from Body & Sole Day Spa. I would love to have something from the Broncos/Aves/Nuggets/Rockies....
Thanks again!

You want a mismatch of B versus A if you are going to have a mismatch - The A mismatch has a higher rate of rejection than the B loci. Jackie was a 5 of 6 match with a B mismatch
If you go with a cord blood it can't be T cell depleted but if they end up going with a regular stem cell or bone marrow transplant ask if it will be T cell depleted. If it is T cell depleted and there is ever a lost of graft in the future you can get a DLI (donor lymphocyte infusion) to boost the transplant.
Make sure you bring a tape recorder to the meeting - you will be thankful for it later when your head is done spinning.

It can just seem impossible to pick up and put on a smile. Not to mention actually feeling the smile. Steroids are over, that is always great. I will continue to pray for Kyle and the whole family.

Ok you locals! We now have 19 days to get this Marrow Drive together!
What I need:
1. People to get the flyers out around town to local businesses, schools, houses, apartments, anywhere. Bonfils has given us 250 copies, Claire scored 500 from a local printer, and I got 200 from another local printer. If you are willing and able please contact me and I will get you copies to scatter around Broomfield and surrounding areas.
2. I also need more consultants! I am disappointed at the response I got (or didn't get) from those I asked. Currently we have a Creative Memories consultant, Close to My Heart, and Silpada Jewelry. If you are or know consultants for other companies please contact me so I can get you more information about helping us out at the Marrow Drive.
3. Denise and family could also use some homemade meals the week of Nov. 17th. They have appointments everyday that week and it is pretty intensive chemo, so when they get home for the day they are gonna be wiped out. If you are interested please let me know.
4. And last but not least, we need food and beverage donations for the event from local businesses. If you have any connections I would love to hear from you!
Thanks, all of you are a blessing!

Kyle's Marrow Money.

Okay, I'm sorry. I'm not good at that stuff, especially when it's serious, m'kay? :) So I won't be offended if you don't use this (or any of my) suggestion(s). Text me or call from the horse-pistol.

And because I know you were wondering, I made it through the big undercover bust experience yesterday. From all I could tell, all NINE of those unmarked vehicles and the one authentic police car were for that ONE skinny kid. I was expecting one of America's Most Wanted...BWA!

You might consider that Kyle will have two birthdays. I certainly take advantage of that fact, and I'm now 4 years post-transplant. Meeting my donor a couple of years ago was an incredible moment.

Yes, it's scary. I know that. And yes, you can do this. Take courage! Onward to Kyle's best health.

Jax use to get mouth sores down her esophagus and would complain her throat hurts - you can't see them by looking because of their location. It sounds like that might be what Kyle is suffering from; it was VERY painful for Jackie and would make her talk all raspy sounding. I hope that he feel better soon

What a day you all had. I so hope you were able to get some rest. I was reading Cyndi's comment and I'm wondering if maybe an air purifier wouldn't be a good thing for Kyle right now? When you feel up to it, give me a ring and we'll talk "in person"...well, sort of...about some of this stuff. I can't imagine how exhausted you must feel, but yet relieved to have Kyle "refueled."

Love you all.

I just Hate this! I am so sorry you all have had such a rough couple of days. Seeing our kids in pain is heartbreaking and when they loose their hair it just signifies so much. It tells us that it is true. The looks start and it hits you that it is real. It makes me so angry Kyle is having to battle this beast again but he just seems like an amazing boy and I pray for him all the time. Denise, I am just crying for you, I wish I was closer and could help you all. I pray the BMB comes back clear and Kyle doesn't wake up in pain. I am glad to hear he is eating though and I hope he does eat that whole tin of popcorn! Thinking of you, Sandra www.caringbridge.org/visit/austinfitzgerald

Denise, just a future FYI- once he goes through transplant he will not be allowed to have a humidifier. I use an air purifier now in Jackie's room which helps a LOT. I am assuming that Kyle gets sedated for the BMA but I could be wrong since Kyle is a bigger kid than Jax, but if he does get sedated then can he give him the shots while he is still under?
I still find it weird that they did not test Reilly and Ty when they tested you and Mark....for some reason I think it took like 2 weeks from CHOP and 4 weeks when we had it done at Winthrop (at diagnosis) to get those results back.
If you don't follow already, you may want to check out little Kayla's site: http://www.carepages.com/carepages/KaylaDeFeo she just recently underwent a transplant for 2nd relapse ALL from an unrelated donor.

Thinking of you always and hoping & praying that the latest BMA shows remission and that Kyle has a match in the NDMP

Oh man....tears flowing here in Indiana....Denise I am so sorry you and Kyle have to face this again. It's just plain horrible.
I have little envelopes of hair too....must be a cancer mom thing. The funniest was Matthew's first haircut post-transplant. Greg took him for a trim and told the lady we needed to take clippings home to Mom. Here is my 16 year old son needing to take home hair clippings for his Mommy! LOL. The look on the gals face was priceless. Greg finally explained "why" and the gal ran to get us a special "1st haircut little blue envelope". It's in his baby book, along with his real 1st haircut, his 1st haircut post initial chemo, his 1st haircut after first relapse chemo, his 1st haircut after BMT. We are SO done with those little blue envelopes!

Hang in there Denise...I'm here to gab anytime!

I don't get it, either; there are some things I will never understand. But what I do know is that you all are going to make it through this; through the hard situations where the only thing you can do is cry, and through the heartbreak of having to watch Kyle endure all of this yet again.

This is where your strength as a family means so much, and where your supportive friends come in. When you're feeling the most heartbroken, when you've cried so many tears you can't imagine that you have more to shed...you won't be alone, ever. Your Mom, Jen and Susie, all of your CB friends; you have people who love you and will be there for you. And me, too. I'm never more than 11 digits or one speed-dail button away. And I CAN get on a plane :).

We're with you every step of the way ♥! Love you lots...

I am sorry you started loosing your hair Kyle, I cant imagine how hard it is. But its great that you have an amazing family there to support you! Mine has been there for me and it makes a world of difference! If I can add any humor with Halloween only a few days away you could go as one of the guys from the blue man group� paint your body blue! It would be fun!!! I hope you are feeling well enough to Trick or Treat! My thoughts are with you!

Hi, I came across your site from Abby Bridgewater's. I am so sorry to read that Kyle has relapsed again--every cancer parent's nightmare. Our daughter, Hannah, had Ewings at the same time Abby was in treatment, and relapsed this past January. It sucks, there is no other word for it. Hopefully transplant will be the answer for Kyle!

Those are some great pictures of your fine looking family! :-)

That's good that Kyle didn't need the platelets. It still upsets me so to think that you all have to deal with chemo and transfusions, etc again.... :-(

Great plan to get out and walk nearly every day. Have you still got fall foliage going on? Any signs of (sshhh, snow) yet?

So cool that grandma's house is close enough to walk to and stop in for a visit, and a snack!

Have a good evening,
love, suzanne

Girl.... writing on other cb sites? You are amazing! I'm with you in spirit. Sounds like Kyle is responding so well and fast - thats always a good thing. Now for a donor....

I wanted to try to be a donor so bad, if you've had any spinal injuries, you can't donate. It would have been very cool if I was a match for your Kyle.

I pray Kyle's tummy issues will go away and the germs will stay far away from him. I think of you many times throughout the day! Go Kyle! You really are a Cancer Butt Kicker!

Hey there, I've been readaing your posts on the LLS BBS about Kyle. I'm sorry that you have to go through this fight again. It's got to be so hard. My son is in LTM for ALL right now. He is due to end his treatment in March of '09. I think the past few years have been hard ennough. I can't imagine going through it 3 times! You guys seem like a close family. You will get through this together. I love the t-shirts BTW!!!! You should ship a couple over to Wisconsin for us. :) Well, we'll be praying for a discharge tomorrow.

Hope those counts are looking good, and you all enjoy being back HOME!!!!

Keeping you and your family in our prayers as you begin your next journey down the long road of childhood cancer.

Everyone who has a child with cancer or cares for someone with childhood cancer I need your help. Can you please type up a brief, one page paper telling your Child's story or someone you know and how the diagnoses changed the life of the whole family.

People need to know what us parents go through trying to get medications approved and treatments through the insurance company. How sick our kids are, what one child with cancer does to the whole family, what the siblings have to go through along with what it does emotionally and financially to the family.

The side effects our children have to live with the rest of their lives, the secondary cancers some of the kids will get, with no where to turn.

We are now dealing with the horrible side effects of radiation with no relief in sight for my daughter who was treated for EWING'S SARCOMA (bone cancer). The treatment is worse then the cure, but no one cares what happens to our children except the handful of others who are going down the same road as we are.

So please write your story and E-mail it to me at gonikki501@yahoo.com if you can send a picture of your child. Please have your story in by Oct.19th.

Thank you all and hopefully this will be the beginning of Gold ribbons everywhere. Please pass this on to who ever would like to participate. I will be printing and sending our stories to every tv station, talk show, news show and anywhere else I can until someone listens.

Thank you all and hopefully this will be the beginning of Gold ribbons everywhere.
I want to thank everyone for the 82 stories I received already. I know there are so many more. I would like to have them all by Oct.19th so spread the word THE GOLD RUSH has begun!

THE GOLD RUSH!

I love the photos - everyone looks so happy,so "normal". I got pictures of the girls done on 02/07/08- one day prior confirmation of relapse and Jackie looked radiant. She looked healthy and beautiful, except for bloodshot eyes which you can't see in the pictures. I don't understand it...as much as we don't want to see them sick, when they appear sick it is easier to swallow than when they look so full of life.
I am so glad that you have a solid support system. I am thinking of you and sending tons of love and prayers to you tonight and every night.

I found your son's link via another page. Wanted to let you know I have been were you are. My 4 year old son was diagnosed in July 2007 with JMML. He had 2 transplants and relapsed both times. We found out the last relapse he had transitioned to AML with 30% blasts in his marrow. They switched donors and my husband donated his cells and Brandon got them on his 4th b day yesterday. A parent is at least a 50% match from what I have been told. My son's transplant was called a haploid identical transplant. So have faith and I now its hard. But kids are strong..much stronger than us moms!! I will keep you in my prayers. Nicole Poito

Denise,

I tried calling you... I am sooo sorry. I know that the thought of transplant is terrifying but to be honest it was easier than the high-dose chemotherapy that Jackie had prior to relapse. He CAN do this and he WILL do this. Since his is white he has a real good chance of finding a match. When Jackie relapsed they never thought we would find a match since she is 50% Asian and more than one match was found.

You need to contact DKMS America's and not only give them consent to do drives for Kyle but also they check (for free) their German database which does not always hit the National Bone Marrow Registry right away (it can take up to 6 weeks)- DKMS Americas is the world's largest registry - Please email the head of DKMS, Katharina- she is amazing: katharina@dkmsamericas.org

How are Riley and Ty holding up? I hope that Ed is going to help you through this.

Oh, dear God. Denise I am so upset to hear this! I can't believe it! We are all (kids and I) just are heart sick to think of Kyle having to face more treatment. I truly wish I lived closer so there was something I could do to help you through this. I honestly just feel sick to my stomach right now. You and Kyle and the kids will be in my constant thoughts and prayers. This just isn't fair.

I registered with the bone marrow organization last year. So help me if I were a match, I'd go through the process in a second to help Kyle.

with love, suzanne

I want you too know that people here in small Sweden are thinking of you and hope that everything will be okay with your nice son Kyle.

That stinks that your house is going to sit empty while you pay rent elsewhere and your kids are upheaved. Even if your house sold today, it would still have to go to contract and closing - you are looking at atleast 60 days, which would have been 60 days of security for your children, but I guess not everyone sees things in the same light. I am glad that you got a place of your own though and this way you will not have to worry about someone throwing you and your kids into the street. I only hope that you and the kids are able to settle in and that you have a lot of volunteers to help you move.

You'll be in my thoughts and prayers that everything will work out perfectly as far as your house.

Sorry for your mom's loss. Not only is having a loved one pass emotionally hard, but for her to have to do all that traveling is physically draining, too. My best to her...

Okay, this post explains a lot; I was wondering what happened to you after we talked on Friday. I figured you just got busy or found something else to do but then when I didn't hear from you the whole rest of the weekend, I wasn't sure what was up. If you would like to talk at all sometime before Kyle's appointment today, I'm around--but, if not, I'll still be praying for the good news I KNOW you'll get. Have faith, Denise. I know it's hard--well, I don't EXACTLY know because it's not my baby boy that's looking pale, but I am a general worrywart so I at least sorta have an idea...but just have faith.

Hi, Denise & Kyle!

Jamo has the same location for her locker - on the bottom! She was so bummed because she bought one of those magnetic mirror/erase board combos to hang in her locker. She told me it's impossible to use because she has to squat or bend over to see or use it. Ahhhhh...the pains of going back to school! We hope Kyle loves Jr. High and we know he will be an AWESOME student!! Hugs to you...

Hi Lindgrens!

It looks like it was a beautiful morning for back-to-school! Whew, that is some logistics to get everybody everywhere they need to be! Sounds like on a good day, you'll have time to get everybody to school before you've got to get yourself to class. Our guys don't start for another two weeks. This year all four of them will be in different schools. Three of them will get buses; the oldest chose to go to an alternative school in downtown Albany, and she'll have to take the city bus to get there. She's looking forward to it; the others-not so much!

I'm sure Kyle will do beautifully at clinic on the 25th, but I know you'll feel better once it's done.

Hugs to all!

It must feel good to Kyle to be cast free!! And sounds like just in time for back-to-school! A whole new school for him? How is he liking it so far? I bet he will be used to it in no time, and do great. How's Riley dealing with the early morning rising? That is going to be Abby in a couple of weeks. Her first time in public school, and the bus will be picking her up at 7:40!

I hope Mama Denise is doing all right in the midst of all of this excitement. I hope things work out for you with the rest of the tuition. Good luck as you start your classes!!

Seriously, I hope everything is still good; I thought about calling you last night but then time got away from me and I needed to explain why it would not be a good idea to give growth hormone to a normal-sized child but who is not growing fast enough for the parents. That was the discussion for Structure and Function this week; do you believe anyone would do that? Anyway...I got all fired up about it :). And, besides, I know you're all glued to the Olympics. But I hope everything is still going good, and that you wrote this Tuesday update before we talked? Please say you did! :)

Denise, I read your journal all the time. As a mom who has a son struggling with an illness. I understand your frustration. I also know how depression hurts. I am going to say words to you I know you have heard before. As I hear them all the time myself. You are No Good to Kyle if you are sick. So take care of yourself. I know its hard to choke down food somedays. But you have to. I know how it is to just want to crawl in bad and stay there. I want to do just that right now myself. Just know that you are not alone in this battle. I am personally praying for you everyday. If you need to talk even though you don't know me. Please feel free to email me. If it weren't for my Butterfly team I don't think I could manage at all. Do you know about them? They are from Childrens Hospital. but my case is a bit different then yours so you may not have them in place. Keep your chin up, take the day to rest. and take it each moment at a time.

HAPPY BELATED BIRTHDAY RILEY!

So sorry to hear about the break- our kids just don't get the breaks that they need do they? I know when Jackie went OT after initial treatment we were just thrown back to our regular pediatrician (or so it felt) with only monthly follow ups with the oncologist- to say that I felt orphaned is an understatement. I pray it is not that way following transplant or I will surely loose my mind.

Mr Kyle! Were you trying to provide entertainment at your sister's birthday party? "For my next trick, I will proceed to break my wrist!" !

Wow, two trips down to the hospital in one night. It's good at least that they do check these things over and catch anything they didn't the first time.
That's just awful that they can tell by looking at an x-ray that a child went through chemo. Who knows all of the long term effects they will have to deal with.

Well, I hope that is it for excitement in your lives for the week, and you can enjoy some down time; and for Kyle, healing time.

You are not alone when having flashbacks in this awful journey. And, simple reminders, like Buster, can flood you with a million emotions (most of them not good ones!) Only you will know when it is time to feel comfortable - Kyle has been through so much. Let yourself feel the way you do and keep writing in that journal. I think that is a wonderful way to relieve some stress! Hugs to you!!!

Hi there Denise,

I was just catching up with your journals; after being away a few days, and just the general busyness that is my life! Funny, but I watched The Bucket List right around the time you did. It was hard getting through the initial scenes of them going through chemo, but all in all, it was a great movie, and I liked it a lot. We were wishing we'd come across a guy with so much money who needs someone to help him spend it! I'd like to see the Taj Mahal, or France, etc!

It sounds like everybody is doing pretty good there, which I am glad to hear. We are hanging in. I've got to bring DD14 to a follow-up doctor appointment this morning, followed by Abby's monthly clinic visit. I still see way to many doctors! It is 6 weeks already since Abby took that last pill, and its her second off-treatment appointment already! :-)

That's great you are doing the budgeting thing. I got a book by Dave Ramsey called My Total MoneyMakeover. I am trying to follow his system. You are supposed to build up a baby emergency fund ($1000) and use his debt snowball principle to pay off all debts (other than mortgage). There are steps after that to build wealth, but I will be a long time just working on these two! He has a web site with a good, free budgeting software to figure out your own budget and print it up.

Oh, well I guess I have rambled on long enough. Hope you all have a GREAT day, and I'll talk to you soon!

I know exactly what you're talking about; the same thing happens to me, and I doubt it will ever completely stop. Sometimes it's a song, sometimes it's something I run across at home. There's no rhyme or reason to it, but it's happens a little less often and lasts for shorter periods of time when it does happen. It's just my opinion, but you don't need to add more stress by beating yourself up for having feelings! You do the best you can do in handling it. Journaling helps a lot, doesn't it? You are fine just as you are. ♥

Denise,

Try Boulder Valley Humane Society on 55th, North of Arapahoe on the West side of 55th. I don't know if they do that type of surgery, but they tend to be less expensive than other Vets. An office visit is $49, X-ray is $115, blood work is $50-100. I just did my comparision shopping last week because our dog was sick.

Davis received over 1000 in gift money. He will be using it for college. It pays for him to have a grad party! Of course I probably spent that in preparations! hehe

Seriously, when did he get so grown-up looking? I could not believe it when I looked at that second pic. WHEN did he stop looking so much like a boy and more like a young man? Time flies...

Maybe talk to ya later? I've got that "school thing" at 2 and then I might try to meet up with Lynda but I'll be home after that. What time does Princess go home? Call if ya can/want to...

Whoa, D! 15 hours, huh? Did you two girls "chat" the entire time? :) It's so cute to hear her "talk" to you; she is definitely "D's girl." Ya gotta get a picture up, for sure.

I'm at work for a few hours, but I'll give you a buzz after I get home later on in the afternoon/early evening, okay? Miss you, but I'm glad you're getting some breathing time.

We'll talk later; for now I'm gonna go check on Kyle A.--love that guy.

Don't give another thought to your poor, pitiful sick children struggling along without you; they'll be just fine! I just hope their crud doesn't catch up with you this weekend because, well...that would just be too sad for words! BWAHAHAHAHA!

Seriously. Hope you're having fun and that it was meant to be, unlike how it seemed on Thursday night!!! Talk to ya later...

Poor Riley, being so sick! I hope she feels a lot better today, and that the baby will not be fussing, and Kyle will avoid feeling worse, etc.
It is completely stressful for mom having a houseful of sick, unhappy kids... and you have to pray you don't come down with it yourself, or then what!?
Praying for a better day for all...

Don't you just love how we live in fear of those counts? I swear, Denise, I have beautiful nails up until the night before a clinic visit - it's an awful way to live and I hate it! Kyle's counts look GREAT and remember that he did have surgery and your doctor would never keep anything from you. I know it's hard to do but try not to worry.

IT WILL BE JUST FINE.... says the mother of a cancer child. KYLE WILL BE OK!

His eye - was infected. No wonder his white count was elevated! How can you go by numbers right after what he had done?

I'm still on cymbalta and its been 4 years! As we grow older.... sigh... we women unfortunately benefit from this little drug ya know. After hormones level out.... which stress messes up along with age - the time will be right to drop lexapro. I'm figuring its a 10 year process. Think of all you've been thru lately!

Hi Denise,

Sounds like a wise thing to stick with the Lexapro for the time being... just too much stuff that could send you over the edge right now. I'll be thinking of Kyle tomorrow as he has the eye surgery and doctor appointmen, that all will go well and stay well, as the 18th approaches.

Way to go with the college course work! You are really moving in the right direction.

Hope you and the kids have a good night.

I went off Lexapro and even though I wasn't sad my face was non-stop wet. I too was quick to fill my prescription and now I am back to a dry face. Lexapro though is VERY costly so I am concerned on how that will continue. I am not sure the proper way to wean but need to figure it out sometime soon... maybe when Jackie graduates high school I will be ready? LOL

Denise, and Kyle,
I love the picture on the home page. Kyle, you look so grown up. Denise, you are such an inspiration on the board, and I want to let you know that I admire you for all you have been through, and all the support you offer to everyone. I am going to check in on your webpage more often. With Mary Kate OT for 4 years now, I try to be back to normal, but I cannot stay away from the board. You were my strenth through it all, and I hope to give even a teeny bit back. The board still helps me so much today.
We will be praying for Kyle's surgery, and for your May appointment. I know you are nervous and scared. He is in remission, and he will stay that way. I have been reading more entries lately from a lot of the moms who have been on the board for several years, and you know, you are like family to me. Your kids are like nephews and nieces.
I was so heartbroken about Elisha. I know Cyndi must be terrified. I wish there was some way we could all go up there and hug her. Jackie sure is a sweet little girl.
Anyway, I just saw your "Frapper" entry, and although we have never met, I just feel a kinship. I read back through some of your entries, and I will pray for you for strenth and grace.
God Bless you,

MSP, MN - Tuesday, April 29, 2008 11:20 AM CDT

Good job on the weaning off; I know that was very important to you. As for the crying, there are times that I find it to be cleansing and part of the process of moving on from something that's bothered us. I know what you mean about vulnerability and being afraid to show any of that to other people--it opens us up to all manner of unpleasantries. What I've found is this. We just have to know which people to surround ourselves with; the ones who would never take advantage of a vulnerable and fragile person. In my humble opinion, those are the only ones worth having around anyway--which would probably explain why I have a very small circle of friends! The people that we are given in our life, as I see it, are given to us for a reason. Sometimes it's to see what we DON'T need and sometimes it's to see what we DO need. Not all people are meant to be permanently in our lives; but some people are meant to be treasured forever. It's up to us to figure out which is which; that's the lesson. It sometimes just takes a while to get it.

And now that you've overshared, I have also overphilosophilized--HAHA! Didn't want you to feel alone! And in closing, if you only remember one thing I ever say, let it be this. YOU ARE OKAY JUST AS YOU ARE AT ANY GIVEN MOMENT IN TIME--AND ANYONE WHO TRIES TO CHANGE YOU IS NOT WORTH YOUR EFFORT. YOU ARE THE ONLY ONE WHO GETS TO DETERMINE WHAT NEEDS CHANGING, AND ANY PERSON WORTH YOUR TIME WILL NOT EXPECT YOU TO CHANGE YOURSELF IN ORDER TO PLEASE THEM! Okay, words of wisdom over and out. **curtsies and exits stage left**

Photo is waaay cute. How is his eye doing? Is long hair the style in your state? Ours is pretty short - with a few long hair boys. I remember when I was in school - the kids all had fro's and shoulder length hair. Sure hope the big fro's don't come back! haha

My 21 yo got his hair cut short and does he ever look good. haha. He went thru the long hair stage and it never looked good on him - his head was too big. I think he's thinking of jobs actually! Man, they sure grow up.

Hope Kyle had a great time... he's such a cutie!

Cohoes, NY - Thursday, April 10, 2008 7:41 AM CDT

Awww, sweetie, I don't know whether to laugh or cry or maybe a little of both. Here's the GOOD news about little anxiety-ridden Kyle. YOU don't have to worry that the source of his anxiety is something you are or aren't doing. SOME KIDS ARE JUST LIKE THAT and, quite apparently, Kyle is the one out of your kids to be the worrier. I mean, really...Ty isn't and Riley certainly isn't. So, in Kyle's mind, he's gotta worry enough for the two of them, too. And try to take care of everything. And even more good news is that he MIGHT lighten up a little bit when he gets older. Not for sure, but might. And just so you know, this outside observer thinks that maybe he gets some of this from his Mama, who also has a tendency to worry about things, but in a very sweet and sincere way. :)

And how do I know all of this? Not sure; just do. HAHAHA!

Kim <kdanielson@earthlink.net>
MSP, MN - Wednesday, April 9, 2008 11:05 AM CDT

HI Denise,

That's good that you have an appointment set to take care of Kyle's eye. I'll be praying that it will go very well, and they can figure out what's going on. And I'll keep you in prayer that you won't be too anxious worrying about it up to the day it happens. I can only imagine what going through 7 years of what you have been through can do to your thoughts and imagination. I know how I am feeling and it has *only* been 2 years.

I had to laugh as you were trying to find a suitable dog to walk! You can take Skipper, although you'd better be ready for a run, then a swim as he jumps into the river. I wish I had filmed this yesterday; Abby, with the help of an older sister, put the cat down the slide in the backyard, then tried the same with the dog... the dog practically leaped down the side after the cat, then chased it all over the yard and up a tree. It should have been on Funniest Home Videos for sure.

Hope you all have a great day!

Hopefully it will be done sooner rather than later. I could not help but notice how mature Kyle is looking...he is loosing that little boy look.

My life is not so hot right now. I have a son who is not allowed in his classes anymore cause he skipped too many. He is now persuing the "alternative" school so he can graduate in June.... we've had 2 car accidents (both boys) in 2 months, and lots of illnesses that are just plain weird.

But know we think of you all daily! HAPPY HOLY WEEK

Hi guys,
It is good to catch up on the Lindgren happenings. I'm sorry you are having such a hard time getting hold of a good eye doctor. I hope that doesn't give him any trouble over the weekend.

That is a great group shot with all of the cousins. A really nice looking bunch of kids :-) That must have been hard getting everyone together and cooperating. We have never been able to get a group shot of all of Abby's cousins. They are all scattered in different areas. There is a new cousin due in June, who might be the last of the cousins. Maybe after that one arrives, we can try to get them all together.
That's awesome about the St. Baldrick's event. There is one in our area the end of the month; I should try to get to it.

Hope you have a good weekend. Talk to you soon,

love, suzanne

But Kyle IS immun compromised! His immune system stinks for years and maybe his life from chemo.... Davis still gets every little bug and this is after 4 years of no chemo - AND he was NEVER sick as a child. Kyles immune systems doesn't even get near to baseline for 1 year after chemo...

Oh, I am so with you on the "I wish it could always be THIS way" thing. Of course, your reason is a little more ♥cute♥ than mine; I just don't want to work anymore. To be honest, I don't care if I have to live in Siberia if I could just get a break from working, but still have money :). And you know how much money DOES NOT mean to me; just enough to be able to live and do what I want to do...ah, yes, we can dream! At least yours stands a chance of really happening♥! It will happen...I know it will. And in the meantime, you always have your friends and BFF--HA!--to keep you cheered up! Now, what more could you ask for? Don't answer. Hehehe...

I heard something about Rosecea and the eyes and styes.... about not having enough oil in the eye so they get infected very easily and clogged.... so our eye surgeon said. He also suggested using a mild shampoo that won't hurt the eye and wash the lids daily with it. To get rid of the extra bacteria on them.

Hi Denise,

What sweeties you have, to get you the newest Webkinz! I know how much you love webkinz world :-) Abby has not been on there much lately. My computer completely went up on me and I have to use my 14y.o.'s computer. Abby doesn't get to get on hardly at all.

Wow, Kyle did a great job on his project! And he looks so proud in the picture, too.

I'm sorry you are having such a roller coaster time of things.You need a season of "merry go round". Still some ups and downs, but a much smoother ride. You've come a long way since Kyle's first diagnosis, and have been through so much. You are strong and amazing, and you truly deserve nothing but the best. May it start coming your way.

Hey Kyle, I saw your website on sharethelove and noticed you are from Co. I live in Ne. My grand daughter use to live in Denver and stayed at Hotel Children's (That's what we called it) for sometime until they moved to Ca. Her name is Isabella, we call her Bella. (Bella's website can also be found on sharethelove. She is in the first grade now. When they come down this way they always stop to say Hi to the staff at Children's. Some of the people are new and the others, well they remember her. I just wanted to say "hello"
and keep smiling!!!

Like I said, you're ENTITLED to a minor breakdown/funk sometimes, especially when you're going through "losses" and lots of uncertainty. It's my opinion that it's just another coping mechanism, so definitely has its purpose. The key is that it doesn't last too long, and you're already well on your way out of it so you will be fine. Hey, you have Stephanie and me to talk to everyday, what's NOT to be happy about? HAHAHA! Kyle is good, Davis is good, and Matthew is gonna be good, too. Now get to church this weekend.

Okay, Denise, we must have some mind ESP freaky thing going on here! Jamo had Clinic last Friday and the whole week prior to that I swear she looked pale and pastey. I'd have her rub lotion on her face and she still looked white. In a way it looked like she dusted baby powder on her face. UGH! Anyway, it was the first time I was wrong with her labs. I expected her Hemoglobin to be really low but it wasn't. Jeepers...I'm losing it! When I told the NP I thought she looked pale she said, "That's strange because I was going to tell you she looked wonderful!". Maybe my instincts are 'off' now that she's done with treatment. Anyway, I figured she looked pale because she had that rash on her face that made her look beet RED! Now that it's gone, maybe that is what I'm comparing it to.
(REMEMBER that it is winter time and we all could use a little sun, right?!?!)

Wow! I just verbally threw up on you! Anyway, my point is that we will see things that aren't there. I look at my son and he is pale, too, but when it comes to him I don't think twice.

Have a great day!

Love,

I wanted to see if all of your spectacular splendor spilled over into a new post and I'll be darned. It did! And because you called me your sweet pal, I had to leave you a line saying..."NO...YOU!!! YOU'RE THE SWEET ONE." Well, maybe not sweet--there is that evil thing--but spectacular? Yeah, definitely. So sorry it took me so long to realize it. BWAHAHAHA! But, really, I definitely realize it now and will never again forget it :)! And I love that pic of Kyle; the eye is looking so good.

Days filled with sunshine and love? Oh yeah. 2008 is gonna be your year for that, I think ;)!

Wow, how scary that must have been! I remember when I was at a party (I think I may have been around 20) and a "friend" of my husbands made me a drink and within 1/4 of it I was OUT... but I could hear every one talk, I could not move my body. It was a horrible feeling. Everyone thought I was drunk and passed out, but I wasn't.

Take care of yourself girl! I'm proud of how strong you have been and I know how hard it is to take care of young kids, and kids at "that age" and for you to be tackling that alone amazes the ba-geeebies out of me!

Denise,

Too scary!!! I hope you called the bar and relayed your story because maybe this freak is a "regular" patron! I hope you have a wonderful New Year with nothing but happiness! I know this year will be a tough one for me because it is the first one that Jamo has not been on any chemo. Give Kyle extra squishy hugs from us!

Love,
Marion & Jamo

I do not know you, but you signed my sons caring bridge guest book. I think you saw him in the paper. As a parent with a child who is sick it is easy to feel helpless to fix them and make them better. For me my resalution is nothing more then to give my son the best days I can. One day one moment at a time.
If you ever need to talk email me your phone number and I will call you.

I too don't make resolutions- I guess to try to be the best person I can each day and to try not to loose my patience or insanity on the way would work for me :)
Give everyone HUGS, hope Kyle is feeling better soon

Hey you~~If being a terrific friend to people who need it, and providing lots of phone and e-mail fun while always being accepting and non-judgmental, qualifies someone to have a good New Year--then 2008 is going to be phenomenal for you. Seriously, you know how appreciative I am of you and all that you add to my life, and I look forward to lots more of it in 2008. Girl, it appears we're good for each other, even if I'm not 100% sure of what the meaning of "good" would be when it comes to the two of us. Maybe I should just say we can provide lots of fun and laughs and support for each other and leave "good" out of it, huh? Hehehe.

Love ya so much!

Hi Lindgren clan!

A very healthy and happy new year to you all! So, is everybody back to school today? Abby is still sleeping in; all cozy and snug while the snow continues to fall. She got a pig webkinz in her stocking. I don't know if she has set up an account for it, or added it onto one of the monkey's. My computer has a broken cord, so I can only check things online from my 14yo's computer... good thing for her being back to school! Needless to say, Abby has not had much online time, either. I need to get a new cord this week...

Anyway, hope all is well out there. Wishing you the very best of everything this new year!

love, suzanne

Praying that all the tears and heartaches that our cancer families felt in 2007 does not follow us into 2008. We are all LONG over due for happiness, health and laughter. Wishing you a Happy and Healthy New Year.

Give those three adorable kids tons of smooches and hugs from us!!!!
