Hi Katie and Christian. I am so glad that you came to my off-treatment blow-out bash and you could celebrate with me! It was great to finally meet you in person! You both are super cute! Thank you so much for coming--you are one special family. I hope you enjoyed all the goodies and the magician! It is sad that we both were diagnosed with this terrible disease---but look...we've made new friends through it!!! Have a great 4th of July weekend with your relatives! Maybe you can light a sparkler!!!

Hi Amy! Glad to hear that Katie is feeling better. Now, hopefully you can get on with your summer plans with no more interruptions!
I did watch part one of Lion in the House last night and it was very difficult to watch. I wanted to change the channel but then I thought, these people can't change the channel--this is their life! It really made Joe and I thankful for our healthy children and to also realize that alot of the things we get frustrated with or upset about are really NOTHING! I will be Tivoing (is that a word?) part 2 tonight as I won't be home to see the end.
My hat is off to all families that have to deal with this "lion". It is not an easy road, yet so many of the families I have come to "know" on carigbridge handle their situation with such faith and grace that it is truly inspiring to me.
Have a great rest of the summer! Let me know the next time you are in Champaign!

Hello,
My name is Jason Watson and I just bought some of your "Relentless" bracelets on ebay. (I purchased them through my assistant MINDY) My sister is 27 years old and was diagnosed with "ALL" about a month ago. We have quickly learned about "ALL" and it continues to touch our heart regarding our sister.
Katarina.....Thank you for the bracelets, our hearts go out to you in your battle against Leukemia.

Just remember to be “RELENTLESS” I know my sister will.

Dear Katie, you are so awesome raising all that money to fight leukemia! Cherry set a modest goal of $200 and has raised $500, but 10,000, wow!!! I bet you are going to make it.

Don't be worrying too much about the low counts, you know that happens to most of the kids during treatment. Usually some kind of bug going around zaps the counts. Cherry took milk thistle during treatment to help her liver function and it works!!! They are even conducting clinical trials now so kids on chemo can improve their liver function to avoid missing treatment for an overburdened liver. We missed some treatment because of that, and when we started on milk thistle it took a few weeks but we saw liver enzymes get better and stay better. Here is the trial's link. http://www.clinicaltrials.gov/ct/gui/show/NCT00055718 If you want to try it we talked to one of the investigators and they are using Nature Made brand, give 2 pills a day after food.

Are you working on training for light the night? It's gonna be a big walk for a little 3 year old! Cherry finished the whole 3-K when she was three. She was also diagnosed as a toddler like you, Katie, at just 20 months of age. She is now 5 years old and off-treatment for one year, has pretty curly hair and likes to swing on the monkey bars! Take care of your family, give them lots of hugs they need it!!!

Hallo Katarina,
habe eben Dein Gästebuch gelesen und ich bin ganz ergriffen, wie viele nette Menschen an Dich und Deine Familie denken. Du bist so ein hübsches Mädchen (ein tolles Photo) und auch wenn ich Dich von der Playgroup her noch nicht lange kenne, so denke ich, dass ich nicht falsch liege, wenn ich sage, dass DU zudem ein sehr starkes und tapferes Mädchen bist. Du wirst Deinen Weg schon machen. Deine Mama ist ebenfalls so stark und tapfer, dass ich sie sehr bewundere.
Bleib so wie Du bist!

Liebe Grüße von Cara mit Vivica und Mia Janina

P.S.: Ich schreibe lieber in Deutsch, weil ich mich da sicherer fühle. Aber Deine Mama kann das ja alles so gut verstehen.

Just stopping by to say hello and see how you are doing Katie. Your new photos are so adorable! Abbi has been riding her bike every day we have had sunshine, and even insisting she go out and try in the rain. When her big brother Sonny tried to get her to back up to move out of his path the other day she said, "my bike is little, it don't know how".
Enjoy your weekend - we will check back in soon.
May the Lord bless you and keep you,

Hey Amy,

I'm going to have to come here more often. That cute picture of Katarina right up top on the front page is EXACTLY what Julianna's hair looks like coming in, just that Julianna's is a little shorter and darker. But the waves and direction, identical. So it's like Katarina is a two-month ahead mirror for Julianna...cool!

Glad to hear that Katarina is home, safe and sound :-)

For you parents

God Made You For A Reason

When I look upon my screen
I find a happy reason
the joy that comes to me from you
is gratitude so very pleasing...

What a wonderful creator
that made a friend like you,
He placed a sweet kind person
and gave me lots of comfort too.

A world without your kindness
would be a sad sad world.

But I don't have to worry,
there's no need to be,
because of you I am very happy,
and that's good enough for me.

I've found great people everywhere,
they come into my life.
Just like you, all those others too,
have given me delight.

So I thank God I met you,
I thank him for all seasons.
Now I know for sure with all my heart,
GOD Created YOU for a reason.

Hello Katie, Christian, Amy, and Kevin! It was fun to read this update. Even though we talk a lot and see each other a lot, we still miss so many things. I'm glad you had such a good time at Charlie's party. It meant so much to all of us to have all of you there. We had a great time at Christian's party, too! This morning we were walking out the door to go shopping, and Ellie said, "go to Katie's house, Mommy." Looks like she'd rather be playing with you, Katie! Hope to see you all again soon. Love, Deb, Ellie, Charlie, and Chris

Hi Katie,
You remind me so much of Kayla, she just loves animals too, her favourites are elephants. Yes, it's a lot, all those medicines for a wee body to take in, but we hope and pray they do their work and we have healthy kids in the end. It's always so amazing how these kids cope with all this, I know adults who have gone through this and reacted much worse than our brave children. Keep learning new fun words Katie, and help your wee brother to walk, but don't pull him to hard.

Hello-
I was looking at some Caring Bridge pages and stumbled across your page. It stuck out to me out of the rest because you also live in Illinois! I live in central Illinois in Peoria! Katie will continue to remain in my daily thoughts and prayers and she seems to be extremely bright and very CUTE!

Hi Katie,
I just was checking out your page and my Katey wanted to finish watching Bambi. So we did. Then I get on MY page and I see a nice message from you and your mommy. It is so nice that you were thinking of us too. You are just cute as a button, and Im glad you are doing so well. I too cant wait for nice weather so we can open the windows. My Brandon woke up with a fever today, so lets hope nobody else gets sick here. Take care little princess. Wishing warm weather soon !!!

Amy, glad to hear that Katie's steroid week was relatively painless. Kendrie starts up tomorrow, so I'm sure a trip to the grocery store will be in order after clinic. :)

Thanks for the nice note in Kendrie's guestbook. Please feel free to take anything you want off the site and use it for Katie's. That's the great thing about LTM -- we're all pretty much going through the same thing. (Well, I'm not sure if it's a great thing or a lousy thing, but you know what I mean!) Hope you guys had a good weekend,

Hi Katie... boy can I relate to your mommy... sometimes I just ask Hunter... "is it the Prednisone, or are you just really good at being TWO?!" Of course her usual response is, "don't LOOK AT me!!" So we still don't know the answer... :)

Hi Katie,
How awful for poor wee you to be on those horrible steroids, it's so hard not being able to tell mammy and daddy what you feel. It won't be long now until they're finished, and you'll be your bright happy self again. I love the way you are posing in your photo at the top of the page, a right little lady. I won't be able to check in again until next week, I'm going to Germany for a few days.

Thanks for stopping by Amy's website. So glad that Katie is on LTM and doing so well. What a wonderful Thanksgiving gift!! We will also be having a lovely holiday and are striving for those "new" memories and traditions. I have been making patchwork pillow tops with Amy's pictures on them..so that will be a nice momento for Kelly and Scott. I have used Amy's clothes for the patchwork fabric pieces and it is very comforting to know we can then just pick up a pillow and hug her memory to us! Since I have never attempted quilting at all, it is quite a challenge for me. LOL and keeps me very busy.
My very best to you and yours on Thanksgiving.

Just stopping in again to say hi and thanks for visiting my Amy's website.
You know, the response to your journal on the "new" normal was so nice. It makes me think that it would REALLY help those people who can NOT relate to what we go through with a child who is fighting such a serious battle. So many times I heard...."Oh, just think positive and look at the bright side...don't be so negative!!" This, during the times when my daughter was battling mouth and throat sores so bad she couldnt swallow...or heaving her poor guts out after chemo!! Those times when it is hard to find a bright side. Education can be a wonderful thing and maybe being able to read something like that would be a tremendous help.
And a very positive and down to earth way of getting the message across.
With your permission, I would like to print the list and hand it out to friends and family, who don't visit these websites because as they have often told me....it is just TOO depressing. Well, hello, welcome to our world!! Please don't misunderstand, I am not being bitter. I just think that a lot of people truly don't understand.

What an adorable costume! Hope you had a great Halloween!
I found your site through Conner's site.
Your journal on "new" normal is so true. Although my daughter was 28 years old, the cancer she had was a childhood cancer and how ironic to me that I had worked for so many years in Atlanta, raising funds for Childhood Cancer Research! Because Amy's type of cancer was so rare in an adult, the dosages had to be figured differently and her reactions were horrific! Even so, our lives became just like your list says....wash your hands constantly, check your temp, be ready to head for the clinic at a moment's notice, learn medical terms like they are part of your every day vocabulary. Reading your post, I could relate so well, as do all of us on these sites.
Without all the wonderful people I have come to know on these caringbridge sites, my journey would have been much, much harder.
Each day I find new caringbridge kids to pray for and send hope and hugs to. I hope you don't mind that I will be adding Katarina's site to my daily checklist.

Dear Katie and Family,
I came across your site via a number of other Caringbridge sites(Carter, Will,William, Catie, Kendrie - to yours) and I want to tell you that even though we don't know you, we are praying for you and all of the other children and families each and every day.

Thank you for raising awareness, for giving us honest insight into your "normal". As I follow these children daily (yes, I have put them in my favorites now and it has become a daily ritual to check in on each one of them), I am inspired by the honesty, courage, faith, strength and grace by which so many families live daily. Thank you also for helping so many appreciate the many blessings that we have. As a mother of 3 - the quality time with my children has changed dramatically! Helping in this fight against these horrific childhood cancer's has become so important to me and I can say that we are doing as much as we can to help raise awareness and money. My thanksgiving update to my friends and family will be vastly different this year - it will mainly consist of ways to help in this fight and awareness! I am sorry this is so long - again, we pray for you and your family!

Hi Amy, Dead right in everything you describe, but Kayla just thinks that it is normal, she's been going through this since August 2003 and takes it all in her stride, as do so many of our brave children, how do they do it? I don't think we'd be so brave. Before Halloween we were in a shop and there were all types of scarey things, a little boy picked up a bag of blood like the ones they use in hospital for the transfusions, he said "oh, look this is real scarey" and Kayla looked at it and said "that's not scarey, that's just blood, we get it in the hospital" she took it from him, looked at it and put it down without another thought. I think it's great that we all have prayer lists, and support each other. Love and prayers from Scotland. Rosi

Hi Katie, Christian, Mom and Dad,
In some ways I can relate to your entry - I never thought that I would have to give my child shots every day of her life, and I thought once my kids hit 6 months, I would be able to sleep through the whole night again - but from where I'm standing things could be a lot worse.
I hope Katarina and Christian had a wonderful time trick-or-treating, Katie looks adorable in her costume!

I was just sitting here reading your journaling and nodding my head in agreement... boy do I know what you mean!!

Sometimes I just shake my head in amazement at some of the things Hunter thinks are 'normal'. ("That's my Atovaquone, that's my Prednisone, that's my 6-MP!") And I had to laugh at the part about checking for the port-a-cath... on the wrong kid!! Been there, done that! :)

I love the new photos, especially the ones of Katie and Christian in their denim outfits - they are so beautiful!

Hi,

I got your name off of sweet Kayla's site. Katarina (and Christian) are real cuties. Good luck in starting the LTM. I think it takes a while to get used to it, but it should be a little easier to 'plan' around. I love your lists and your site. Very nice.

Way to go with the LTN walk!!

Keep on keeping on'

dear Amy,
Haven't seen you guys in a while but am so happy that Katie
is doing so well.
This is the first time that I have visited your site on
caringbridge.
My great nephew has a site also. He is at Duke Medical
center in Durham. He is just 3 months old and had a stem
cell transplant. It took a while for the donor cells to
grow but it looks like they are increasing quickly now.
He should be released from the hospital this Friday hopefully.
He has to stay in the Durham area for about 2 months of
clinic everyday and if all goes well maybe will be home
for xmas.
His address is NC name levijohnson. Please remember him in
your prayers. I just came home from Duke and it sure was
hard to see and hear about all the kids on picu. My heart
goes out to all of you mothers and the wondereful nurses
on that floor.
Well take care and love to you and your family.

Hi Katie,

We just happened to see a card that you and your mommy gave to the nurses and we saw your caringbridge address page and decided to check and see how you were doing. We will keep you and your family in our prayers. You are a beautiful girl and we wish you the best of health!
Kara has a webpage too www.caringbridge.org/oh/kara

Dear Amy, I'd be curious to know just how many female heads of households travel, more than six nights at a time, and stay in a hotel. I mean, think about it .... I can only think of two scenarios where that would happen: either a long vacation with your family (which most people could't afford more than once a year) or business travel (which is usually done by men --- no sexism intended, it's just the truth.) So I'm intrigued by the survey-taker not "getting" that you hadn't traveled a lot. Or maybe most other women just travel more than I do, know what I mean???? In fact, maybe the whole thing is one big clue that I need to get more of a life for myself, ha! :)

Sounds like Katie is keeping you on your toes -- best of luck with the potty-training. Sounds like she is ready! Hope everything else continues to go well.

Amy, kudos to you for donating blood! and for joining the bone marrow registry. I joined years ago, but have never gotten "the call". I love your idea of being long-distance donor buddies. I'm due to give again in just two weeks, so I don't want to wait until December, but I think I'll post the same challenge on Kendrie's site, if you don't mind? What a great idea!

Hi Katie, Look for an envelope with PINK writing on it in your mailbox on Thursday! It is for your Light the Night! I was going to send my class' recycling donation to you but during a soccer mtg Wednesday night another coach liked my Livestrong bracelet. When I gave it to him and told him it was his, he gave me $20! I told him I did not want money for the bracelet, it was just a gift but he insisted. I told him I was going to donate it to cancer research. So that $20 is in the mail to you for your walk! I was excited to see how much $$ you have raised! Just think, in a few years down the road perhaps other children will have an easier road to recovery with all the money raised by caringbridge and ALL-KIDS and families!

It was great to read that your counts are on the rise! Ali is doing well too :) Rooting for you from California, XXOO, Marey

Amy and crew~ So glad you were able to enjoy Labor Day weekend. We have been ultra busy here so I haven't had too much of a chance to leave messages but I do check in on you often. I have to tell you that it NEVER failed, we ALWAYS kept many bags packed and in the car and were never admitted but the ONE time we would get cocky and decide we were "safe" and would unpack~ BAM! in the hospital. Makes me frustrated just talking about it. Anyway, Here is an AMEN coming at you for the end of DI. How many do you get? Connor had 2 on the Augmented protocol.
Well, keep on keepin on in Naperville!

Potty training?

Well this has been an off/on thing for us for a while now... they told us not to even try until we reached maintenance, well we're there! Taylor is interested and will go on the big potty when it's her idea and then she decides she's not interested just when I think we're getting somewhere!

How about Katie? Is she using the big potty yet? If not I wouldn't rush it because until you reach maintenance the road is bumpy!

Sounds like she's a fighter though and that's what we like to see!

We found your site through our good friend Connor's site... it's just crazy what a small world this is and how we tend to make new friends everyday, too bad that cancer had to be the circumstance!

My daughter Taylor was diagnosed in September of 2003 with ALL, she too was just 19 months of age and shortly following we found out we were expecting, isn't it crazy how when it rains, it pours!

Taylor is now 2.5 years old and the proudest big sister there is! She started her LTM in July and is doing well... there is light at the end of the tunnel but that tunnel just seems to be too long!

Hello, i was watching a couple of new records being set at the Olympics today, so thought i would look up some slightly stranger ones instead of some jokes.

Here's a couple;

Most spoons balanced on the face
Tim Johnston (USA) (b. 1 January 1992), was able to balance on his face (one on each ear, two on each cheek, three on his chin, two on his lips, one on his nose and three on his forehead) and balance them for 30 seconds at on May 28, 2004.


British pub landlord Garry Turner clipped 153 ordinary wooden clothes pegs on his face at the WH Smith bookshop in York, Yorkshire, UK, on September 28, 2002

Hi Amy. I got your site from Kendrie's. My son Connor was diagnosed with Pre-B All on March 10, 2002. We are now in LTM and due to finish treatment July 24, 2005. I tell you this in hopes that you will see that there is light at the end of the tunnel. Also, when Connor was diagnosed I was 7 months pregnant with my second child Cameron. So I also know the stress of new diagnosis, pregnancy, and newborns. I hope you can feel my support coming at you. Also, I am originally from St. Charles, IL. My parents are still there, maybe sometime we can hook up when I go home for a visit.
Take care and we will check back for updates.
Love,
Amy, Mom to Connor ~ Pre B ALL T(12/21) and Cameron

Heya cutie :-)

Thank you to you and your mom for stopping by and signing Julianna's guestbook! Naperville, Illinois? I spent a month there with my uncle after I graduated from high school...completely turned me into a Cubs fan!

Oh, and the one week delays really are nothing. When your counts are low, it's probably just a sign that the chemo you got from the week before is really doing a good job!

Take care,

Hi Katie... thanks for visiting my site! Yep, those were REAL alligators in those photos... there was also a 14 foot Burmese Python at the festival... there are no photos because my mommy was too afraid to pick up the camera and snap one, thinking the Python might take the opportunity to eat me in the meantime. (Parents, what do they know anyway?)

Well, shoot! We went on vacation last week and I missed the big birthday #2! So happy belated birthday!!! I hope DI continues to go well for Katie. We are in DI #2 .... were actually delayed by one week today due to slightly low counts, but otherwise things have gone pretty smoothly. I'm sorry to hear Katie lost her hair. When Kendrie lost hers, I felt like someone had punched me in the stomach. You know it's going to happen, you prepare for it, and then it still really stinks when it does. The other thing that stinks are those steroids!! But we'll be thinking about you and hoping that it's over soon ... on to the next phase! Take care,

Hi- I am happy to see how great she looks! After my daughter did induction-she was huge from the steroids-but altogether the most beautiful sight. I will be praying for a smooth and not too eventful journey-we all know about the fevers and hospital stays. We thankfully had a fair journey-as fair as watching your child go through chemo can be. We had some scares that seemed to last forever, but overall, her we are and she has been OT for 15 months-still praying for healing and thanking God for her healing,every day.

We are so pleased that things are going well! Andrea's high school had a fundraiser for leukemia research and we worked hard with Katarina in mind. Hope you are finding time for some shuteye with two kids under two! Keep in touch and we'll check the site often.

Dear Amy, Kevin, Katarina and Christian:
I thank God that every day Katie gets a little better. I also pray that the Lord will guide the Doctors as they treat her. Katie and Christian couldn't ask for better parents. One day soon all will be well.
Love,
Maura

I am keeping Katie in my prayers. I know God will help you get through this. I will pray also for your strength and resolve to do what is best for Katie while caring for a new baby. I know Lila Williams from my church (Jo's mother) and I also work in a child care center as director. I see lots of children every day and they all need love and nurture, compassion, teaching, and prayers.

My thoughts and prayers are with all of you - I have passed on Katie's story to many people and 'strength comes in numbers' - we are all praying for you.

Dearest Katie, in all your photos I can see that your smile is like a ray of sunshine - always glowing and cherished by many....Keep up that beautiful smile and we'll keep up our prayers :)

Love,

Kim

At our house and throughout our church prayer chain we have been praying and will continue to pray for your family. This website journaling is a great way to communicate with all the prayer warriors working on your behalf. We'll be checking it regularly for updates.
