Wow! I can't believe you would have been a young man with a life of your own. What would you be doing today? Amanda is married, Lee is off in the Rockies, I think Mark is still around Griggs County, Tiffany has a beautiful girl, Beth kids are awesome, and I hear from so many of your classmates. Each time I wonder, what would Keegan be like and what would he be doing and what would he look like! Ah! Such unanswered questions! I love you dear!

Hi Lisa,

I'm so sorry to read about your loss at the DSRCT website. My name is Eric and my 16 year old son Raymond was diagnosed with DSRCT in December of '06. If you're up to it, you can visit his carepage at www.carepages.com, after signing up visit carepage named "rakupdate". Any info or insights into fighting this demon disease would be most appreciated. Sounds like Keegan was a great kid! I'm a hunter, but Raymond doesn't have the least bit of interest.

Sincerely,
Eric Knowles

Hi Lisa,
Just sitting here at work and thought I'd check Keegan's site to see if there were any updates. What a cool picture of him! I hope that all is going well for you. I'm sure things are somewhat crazy now that school is starting to wind down. I hear I missed a pretty good prom. Mark has told me a bit about it but I'm still waiting to see pictures. Take care and I'll see you at graduation.
Blessings,

Hi Lisa and Family, my name is Darla Vaagen. My Niece who is a Pharmacist sent me an e-mail about your son, she thought I needed to know people who are going through the same thing that I have been going through. I tried to read as much as I could about Keegan's story and can't imagine having to go through all that you went through, but I guess I shouldn't say that, I probably would have done what ever I had to do. My Daughter Jerene was also 15 years old when she was diagnosed, which should have been diagnosed sooner, but they thought she had an eating disorder, because of her age and the fact that she lost 25lbs, way more then she could afford. Jerene joined Jesus Christ Our Savior in Heaven on January 2nd 2006. If you are interested in hear about her story, her web site is http://www.caringbridge.org/nd/jerenelv/ Jerene had a Cancer that is usually known to happen to 60 year old men who have drank and smoked all of their lives, why her, life is so very confusing and so unfair. Just want to say that I am so very sorry for your lost and I know what you are going through. If you want to write or call me, let me know, I would love to hear from you. God Bless You...........Darla

Garrison, ND Mclene - Monday, October 16, 2006 7:42 PM CDT

I've been asked to put my poem that I wrote in memory of Keegan on the caringbridge website. For those of you who don't know me, Keegan and my daughter Amanda were classmates and were best friends.
There is a story that needs to be told
Of a young man courageous and bold.
He touched the hearts of many people in his own special way.
He showed us how to enjoy life and how to appreciate each day.
He taught us to live life to the fullest and not to complain.
How to face the tough times, and how to deal with pain.
When I say the name Keegan what comes to your mind?
Is it a young individual who we will never again find?
Keegan Nicholas Ott. Yes, that's his name.
Without him here things just won't be the same.
Think now of his humor and his serious side too.
He had a zest for life in everything he would do.
As I sat in my chair one night watching t.v. and feeling kind of bored.
Keegan looked at me and said: "Your feet don't even touch the floor."
I looked at him, laughed out loud and said, "I know."
He just smiled, turned away and continued to watch his show.
Chocolate chip cookies and a glass of milk, that's all he would ask for.
He loved those cookies and he was always wanting me to make more.
It didn't matter what kind of person you were, young or old,
Keegan would take the time to talk to you, I'll always remember the stories he told.
Chatting with him on msn, our first conversation I saved.
He said "hello" first, once again he was very brave.
I thanked him for talking with an old lady he said "anytime"
That first chat I'll hang onto for a lifetime.
In June when Keegan told me his cancer was back, he pretty much shoved it under the rug.
As I sat there in tears with him looking on, he was the one who asked, "Kim, do you need a hug?"
He was always concerned about the next person in line,
To him his problems were nothing, he would always tell you he was fine.
A mentor, a tutor, a friend to the young and old,
An amazing young man with a heart of gold.
The courage he showed and the strength that he carried within,
I'll never understand how he fought his way through thick and thin.
Keegan's character showed in so many ways.
From the time he was a young boy right up to his dying days.
On Monday Oct.9 this community lost a young man so dear.
Keegan, so many of us will always and forever hold you near.
With Lucas, Cameron, Keri, and Uncle Vern at your side
They were there for you with arms open wide.
Flashbacks of the good times together and all that you guys had done.
They along with others were hoping this was a battle you could have won.
As your mom opened your home and told everyone to come in.
It was one of the most welcomed places I had ever been.
Your best friend Mark held on tight-not wanting to let go.
But God was calling for you, this we all know.
As people started gathering, clinging to each other as friends do.
You knew they were there just wanting to be with you.
With loved ones around you quietly saying their good-byes.
Angels wings wrapped around you as you closed your eyes.
And as you took your last breath,
I know with your faith you weren't afraid of death.
Family, Friends, Pastors,Teachers, and the Class of 2007
Were all gathered as one as God sent his angels and called you to heaven.
The hunting grounds are now open you can call them yours.
You are free from the pain and suffering, God has opened a new door.
The elk, moose, deer, and bears await for you still.
The hunting will begin at your own free-will.
To the Griggs County Central Class of 2007:
You know Keegan will live life to the fullest even in heaven.
Girls, remember the flowers he sent you each Valentines Day?
Sending you a single carnation that was just his way
Of showing he care, and loved you all.
He probably considered it something very small.
He will look down on each one of you every day.
He'll be there guiding you along your way.
Keegan, The Cross Country Team will run their hearts out for you.
It's because that's what you taught them to do.
The Choir will continue to sing, maybe even your favorite song.
They will miss their King who they didn't have for very long.
The Boys Basketball team will still play the game.
But the "Unsung Hero" will always be your name.
In the spring when the Throwers start to throw,
They will feel your presence as you coach them with things you know.
The Teachers feel the loss of a truly "good sport."
They too hung right in there with their support.
To the Underclassmen who respected you.
They will continue to look up to you
as a role model, king, and a friend.
They too are sorry this has come to an end.
My heart goes out to all of you as Keegan's does too.
I know he loved each and everyone of you.
Keegan, It's time for me to say so-long for now.
It's time for you to take a bow.
For the show you gave us down here on earth,
I can't come up with enough words to tell you what you are worth.
How honored I feel to have known you.
I'm thankful for the memories I have quite a few.
Thank you for your friendship, your laughter and love.
I know you will be watching over us from up above.
Angel wings you wear with pride.
On Eagles wings you now will fly.
We love you Keegan, with all our heart.
Thanks for the memories, may it feel like we are never apart.
So long for now, hugs to you my dearest friend.
You were a courageous young man right to the end.
Love You Bud!

I was so grateful to hear the stories shared yesterday at the family service...of Keegan's antics, courage and compassion. He will definitely continue to have a profound impact on us from above. Without the limitations of a physical body and only the nonphysical Soul he will have far greater impact. I am sure his mission is not done.

A special Thank You to those of you that did share your memories. If you found it intimidating yesterday to share your fondest memories of Keegan with us in the group setting, please add them to this site. This will be a journal that can be captured and shared for a long time.

Kim, will you cut and paste your poem into here? I'd love to hear it again and I am sure there are people all around the country that would enjoy reading it. It is quite a treasure. WOW! What a gift you have.

Lisa and family,
Just wanted to let you know that you are all in my thoughts and prayers through this difficult time. I met Keegan only when he was very sick, in ER etc., and I can not remember a moment that he wasn't the most polite and respectful young man. I developed a great appreciation for his good nature and determination. His spirit will live on..I get "goose bumps" as I read through this site and see all of the people that Keegan touched in some way. He truly was an awesome being who will continue to put smiles on people's faces from up above. Take care Ott family, you have been through so much!
Nikki Johnson <njohnson@mlgc.com>
Glenfield, ND Foster - Saturday, October 14, 2006 9:19 AM CDT

To the Ott family, I offer you my deepest condolences. God's love has & will continue to surround you and help you with Keegan's loss. Keegan was one of my first athletes to work with, and I will never, ever, forget his spirit! I saw it in the first day I trained him, and when I last saw him back in 2005 at the Cooper Bible Camp XC meet, he was running with such a passion & love for life! He taught me and my athletes so much that day, without saying a word, just his actions doing the teaching.

He was truly a blessing on this earth, but God needs him for some greater things up above, and I can't imagine the impact he's going to have up there!

In Christ's ever-lasting love,

Dear Lisa and family, words cant express how saddened I was last night when Char told me about Keegan. I am so sorry for your loss. I confess to not having been good about following his progress over the last few months, as I really believed he was on the path to recovery. But in reading your log and some of the other entries, I am so overcome by what a valiant fight he and all of you put up. Please accept my deepest sympathies, you are all in my heart and prayers. I take a little comfort from knowing he will join the rest of our family members who have gone ahead and someday, God willing we will all be together again

Lisa, I checked the web during my prep today and saw that Keegan is now an angel. I am so very sorry for your loss. I have been so honored to follow Keegan's journey since I met you in Montana, Lisa. He was such a strong young man and he challenged all of us to live each day to the fullest and to go forward with a positive attitude. I can't imagine how you are feeling, but do know that you are being thought of and being surrounded with prayers for comfort. Keegan is truly now a child of God. He will always be with you, in your heart and in the beauty of the world. Know that I am thinking of you.

Psalm 46

God is our refuge and strength, an ever-present help in trouble.

Therefore we will not fear, though the earth give way and the mountains fall into the heart of the sea, though its waters roar and foam and the mountains quake with their surging.

There is a river whose streams make glad the city of God, the holy place where the Most High dwells. God is within her, she will not fall; God will help her at break of day...

"Be still, and know that I am God; I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth."

The LORD Almighty is with us; the God of Jacob is our fortress.

Dear Lisa and family,

It's hard to believe that Keegan's battles are over. After all those appointments, tests, procedures, operations, chemo, radiation, trips to Rochester and Fargo, the ER, a plane crash, sleepless nights, weary, anxious days, rays of hope, frustration, running cross-country with his team, basketball tournaments, and so on and so on...Keegan has moved on, by his faith in Christ, to a place without pain, tears, illness, disappointment, sorrow, or death!!

And now you will move on to recovery, ever so slowly at times, but I know you will. Your strong, deep faith in the One who died and rose again will strengthen and deepen even more. And you will continue to encourage and inspire the people around you with hope and godly wisdom. "...being confident of this, that he who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus." (Philippians 1:6)

May God Almighty shelter you in His arms and lay His hand of blessing upon you!

Love in Christ,
Pastor Mark

Your family will remain in our prayers.

So sorry to hear of your loss. Though it was inevitable, it doesn't make it any easier to lose a loved one.

You are all in my thoughts every day. Every morning when I come to school I check this site and keep updated on Keegan's status. Keegan - Your strength, courage, and endurance are an inspiration to everyone. Lisa - We miss you alot over here at school!!
I remember this passage from the movie Spider Man and it just reminds me of you!!!
"Everyone needs a hero. Courageous,self-sacrificing people. Setting examples for all of us. Everybody loves a hero. People line up for them, cheer them, scream their names. And years later, they'll tell how they stood in the rain for hours just to get a glimpse of the one who taught them how to hold on a second longer. I believe there's a hero in all of us, that keeps us honest, gives us strength, and makes us noble."
Keegan - you are truly a hero!! Keep strong, buddy!

Hey Lisa, Keegan and �the fam�,

Since I started working in Fargo 3 weeks ago I haven�t seen or talked to many people around here. But I�ve been reading the journal entries every chance I get to keep up with any news. I kept hoping and praying that things would get better each time but as I�ve just recently read they still haven�t. I just want you to know how deeply moved I am at how courageous you are Keegan and what a strong family and mother you have. When I look at all the guestbook entries it brings tears to my eyes. You are so very lucky to have lived a life with so many people who love you, care about you, pray for you and have so much hope. �The best and most beautiful things in the world cannot be seen, not touched, but are felt in the heart.� -Helen Keller I can only wish to have even the tiniest portion of love & support that you have been blessed with. Keep up the fight Keegan & Lisa. You will forever inspire me to never give up.

Hi Keegan,
My name is Tammy, I've been a neighbor and friend to Jordan Marquis and family for the past 12 years. I understand you like to hunt, I can relate to that, I married a family of hunters and out doors men. So much so that I don't live next door to Karen and family any more. I have a 19 year old son who has also joined in the fun, and has been lucky for the past few years and hunted in upstate NY on 1,000 acers of private land on Lake Champlaine with his father and 74 yr old grandfather. I want to tell you I look for ward to the excitement that he shows and the anticipation of going ever year. He is also a fisherman like Jordan and his dad. We only live 5 miles or 10 minutes from the Marquis and keep in close contact with them. We live on 5 1/2 acers with 2 ponds and a waterfall in our yard, Jordan his brothers and little sister love to spend the night so they can frog hunt and fish the property. Well I wanted to write to tell you to hang in there and Know that you and your family are in my thought and prayers too!!!!!!!!!! Keep the faith and think positive that is so important....

Keegan, How fitting to be leaving this physical life as a King. The lives you have touched and the experiences that you have had will not come close to the lives you will touch and the experiences you will have in the nonphysical life you are approaching. As we (humans) become more intuned with our nonphysical selves, you will continue to have a presence here with us. The grandest of times are yet to come, I pray that your Higher Power is at hand and lifing you up. God Bless You for the blessings you have brought to each of us.

I wasn't able to pull up the bear hunt pictures last week so I checked again two nights ago and there they were. Amazing! Jordan loved looking at them. My sister called this morning and asked if I had read your update. It sounds like you have made a beautiful, comfortable room for Keegan to come home to. I hope you make some more wonderful memories at the coronation tonight. Just wanted you to know you have lots of people thinking of you and praying for the whole family.
Love,

Hi Keegan,
Thought I'd send you note from St. Louis - I think about and pray for you every day and usually many times a day.

A prayer from Psalm 8:3-9
[It's kind of a hunter, farmer, fisherman psalm!]

"When I consider your heavens, the work of your fingers, the moon and the stars, which you have set in place, what is man that you are mindful of him, the son of man that you care for him?

"You made him a little lower than the heavenly beings and crowned him with glory and honor. You made him ruler over the works of your hands; you put everything under his feet: all flocks and herds, and the beasts of the field, the birds of the air, and the fish of the sea, all that swim the paths of the seas.

"O LORD, our Lord, how majestic is your name in all the earth!"

With love to you and your family...

Keegan and family -- I pray that things are a little better for you today. Heard about your tests this summer. I did the Relay for Life this year (August 11) and lit a candle for you. The bag with your name stayed lit all evening and I said a prayer every time I passed it. Also put one out for Barb. Anyway, I was thinking about your family and decided to write a quick note to wish you well. Have a memorable time in cross country. Hang in there. MAY GOOD KEEP YOU SAFE. Love, Cousin Peg

Hi Keeg~ Sounds like you are LIVINGSTRONG every day with Cross Country and looking forward to your upcoming hunting trips......Heard from Cousin Harry out in Idaho and he is ready to go hunting bear and elk out there....he's also fishing for 13 foot sturgeon fish. Our friend Ginny who came up to ND with us one time(you met her)..she and her family will be having a family get together at her daughter's cabin in the northwoods of Wisc. the end of Sept. She said, "wouldn't it be funny if I ran into Keegan up there while he's bear hunting and she said "there are alot of bear up there"...so good luck on your hunting trips. So, are you going to have a "bear skin rug" made after you get your bear trophy? Live each day with your TOTAL TRUST IN GOD......HE'S YOUR GUIDE WHETHER YOU ARE HUNTING OR WHATEVER YOU ARE DOING....Love 'n Hugs

This damn cancer ... what can ya say? I'm looking into the benefits of Vitamin B17. I just heard of it for the first time a couple weeks ago and wrote to Beth Orgel to see if she might have any info, but I haven't heard back so I'm just kinda fishing around to see who knows what about it stabilizing tumors. Somebody e-mail me back if you have any experience with it. Thanks, Marcia

I know that the best present you could get was to spend the day with your kids. Know that I am thinking of you and praying for God's guidance. The training in PA went well. It was really hot and humid though.

It is my prayer that you will be able to lean hard on God and allow him to be your strength. Deborah

The LORD is the everlasting God,
the Creator of the ends of the earth.
He will not grow tired or weary,
and his understanding no one can fathom.

He gives strength to the weary
and increases the power of the weak.

Even youths grow tired and weary,
and young men stumble and fall;
but those who hope in the LORD
will renew their strength.
They will soar on wings like eagles;
they will run and not grow weary,
they will walk and not be faint.

Isaiah 40:28-31

Lisa & Keegan,
I haven't heard anything about how things are going with you two. I hope that no news means good news! I'm still holding down the fort here at school. It's certainly hard to fill your shoes! :) The kids really miss you Lisa. They are always asking when you're supposed to come back. And then I hear a long, disappointed sigh if it's not soon enough for them. I sure am getting a complex! j/k ;) Everyone is always asking and wanting to know about both you and Keegan. All of us here at Hope HS are praying & wishing you, Keegan and your family well. We have you in our hearts and are thinking of you often. Come home soon.

Oh! I'm busted! I am guilty of watching from the distance... This is your two year anniversary month, huh? Congrats! Is that politically correct under the circumstances?! At any rate, I have seen enough of this particular cancer to know that two years of keeping it together in any fashion is pretty amazing, so great job and hears to wishing you another 80 years, (but healthy, that's a nice thought, huh?!) Have a wonderful evening and God bless you. Marcia

Dear Lisa:
My name is Penny Brill and my son Steven is the Steven B from Florida on the DSRCT site. Unfortunately, I know exactly how you are feeling right now, as my son has been battling a fungus infection as well as a bacterial infection since Jan. 3rd. He survived 6 rounds of the P6 protocol, 2 extensive surgeries, 4 weeks of radiation combined with 1 week of chemo, and stem cell rescue, only to have his port get infected with the fungus. He is on a respirator and battling very strongly. I have been reading about your son since last March when Steven was diagnosed, so I can tell he is very strong. My prayers are with you and your son, and the rest of your family at this time.

We can only try our best, and His will be done. I got your Christmas letter, and I can only be amazed by your family, how you have managed those these difficult past 2 years. You are all a shining example and truly inspiring.

Lisa, Keegan, Keri Ann, Cameron and Lucas,

Thank you for putting together the picture boards in your Dad's memory. I enjoyed them very much. I know there is so much to pull together during this time...I wanted you to know that it was appreciated.

You need each other during this difficult time...STAY STRONG FOR EACH OTHER. As Pastor Mark said, we have to focus on the bigger picture, to get a better understanding of this all. That bigger picture, no doubt being the Lord, and His plans for us all.

I hope this Christmas season brings blessings to you all. My kids were here for Christmas Eve and we had a GREAT time together. We don't have any plans for Christmas Day except to play some of the games that we have gotten. We are going to Emie, Ryan and Seth's for New Years.

Just got back from a local high school basketball game. We got thumped, 63-47. Back to the drawing board. There are 4 classifications of high school teams in Maine, A B C D. We are a Class C, enrollment about 340. We are called the Buccaneers. Having seen your picture, I bet you play a forward-center position.

To the Mighty Hunter, Hi Keegan, This is nurse Julie from Fargo. I'm soooo glad to read about you. Thanks, Lisa for keeping up this site!
We miss you and talk about you daily, wondering how you are doing, etc.
Greg got an elk on the second day of his NM hunt so they had 3 more days to play around and butcher. This past Sat. they only needed 2 1/2 hours to finish the job. And now I have nice neatly wrapped white packages in the freezer. Don't know what he'll do with the hide, but I know he brought it back.
Olivia and I just played and had a good time while he was gone. I took most of the 10 days off.
So how does the hospital food there compare with ours? :) Be careful how you answer : )
I'm praying for you Keepen and Lisa. That God will sustain you both through this trying time.
Sincerely, Julie Nellermoe

I understand that this is a tough fight...but one well worth the fight. It is so heartening reading the emails of friends and family who care so deeply for you all.

Hi guys. Sorry to hear about the fevers. Wishing we could do something for you. Hope the rest of the day goes better and you both get some much needed rest. I put in two and a half days back at the paper. They were so happy to have me back. Chief Ross and the rest of the PD were too. He's already lined up at least five stories for me to do. I took printouts of website and email to mom today.

Sending our prayers and most sincerest thoughts to both of you. God will see you through this.

My instructor liked the video I did, but asked me to add a little to it. When I am done I will get you a copy. Hope to hear good things soon. We miss you.

Good chilly morning Keegan & Lisa: Cold out this morning with (wind chill)about 19 degrees, probably mild for ND. Was reading about your involvment in athletics. I used to coach peewee sports..soccer, basketball, baseball. Once as a motivational suggestion, I told my little league team if they won a playoff game, on the way home, I'd jump off a 8' high bridge into a small,but deep pond below..Was the end of May. The team we were playing smoked us 15-2 the first game..what's the chances! You can imagine what happened....My little team played like pros, we won, my team grinned...SPLASH..I jumped, along with the whole team, uniforms and all. YOU GUYS ARE DOING FANTASTIC! KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK!

Hi Keegan! Pleased to hear about the shrinkage. Interesting photo of the geese. Turkeys were reintroduced in Maine a few years back...wow, did they make a remarkable recovery. Twice in the past month I've almost crashed into them with my little VW. My twin brother works on the railroad where they keep having moose-train accidents. He'll put his special truck(with rail wheels) on the tracks, go investigate..actually may keep anything undamaged. He always has a freezer full of moose meat, deer..crazy guy even made some beaver stew last year(beavers kept building dams near culverts close to the tracks). Keep up your positive attitude! You're truly inspirational to me and my family.

I called your Mom yesterday to get an update on how it is going, this update from Mark is very helpful. I'm so glad he was there with you. Does this mean the derby is out? Tyler and Chase are both playing ball so we have games every day for a while. I don't know what the July 4 weekend will bring you, but maybe Keri could come to the lake with us. Summer got moved into their new house in Chaffee and I was there earlier this week. I will continue to pray for you, Keegan and your doctors....that health will be restored to Keegan's body.

Hi Lisa and Keegan,
I was just recently informed that the cancer had returned when I seen something in the paper. I made it a point to tell Chad and he said that Kristina had already told him....how frustrating! I hope that everything turns out for the best and please know that our entire community (and then some) are praying for you each day!!! Please keep in mind that God wouldn't give us more than we can handle. At times this phrase may seem "off cue" but wonderful things happen with the power of prayer. In case you are uncertain who am , I am Kristina's sister-n-law, married to Chad.

Thinking of you,

Just checking in and sending positive thoughts your way. Keegan looks to be quite the outdoorsman. We live in the state of Maine . . the vacationland for hunting and fishing, so it is a way of life here. There is no elk, but we do have white tail deer, moose, black bears, turkey, and other wild game. Good luck to you!

Home for 10 days on G-CSF then: Vincristine, Doxorubicin and Cyclophosphamid, and Mesna for two days, home for 12-13 days on G-CSF (growth shots- for recovery of cells)Then we start over.

Hey Keegan,
I was so surprised to hear about the struggle you have been having. I guess you would agree that hospitals are scary and inconvenient places, but they sure know what they are doing!!!
You don't know me, but I was the school counselor at Cooperstown when your Mom taught there. I have since moved to Minnesota. Dwight Dockter (the counselor at Hope-Page) has been keeping me informed of your progress. You have waged a terrific fight. May you continue to use your strength so that you will win this latest battle too.
Hi, Lisa!! I will be praying for Keegan and for your entire family. Support and love of friends can do wonderful things!!!

hey Keegan. It's Emily. I just thought you would want to know that the track team is doing awesome and I can't wait til you get back so we have the two top shot putters back! I still can't believe how far you threw. Anyway we had a good day at the meet on Saturday. Katie Gruman qualified so now we might be dying Mr. White's hair. That is if we can catch him. I got to throw against the girl ranked ahead of me in shot. She beat me but I'm trying to come up with a strategy for state. Got any ideas? The boys did good even with everyone going to State Music on Saturday. The meet on Tuesday was really cold and I couldn't even feel the discus when I threw it. The Katies, Susan, Sam, Timmy, Davis, and I made finals in Discus. I can't even remember shot it was so cold. I can't wait to see you again you bring so much joy to the track team. We got a team together for the relay for life and I hope you are well by then so you can camp out with us at city park. Remember live strong, be strong, throw strong! We are praying for ya!

Good morning Keegen and family, hope you get out of the hospital soon, my Nikki followed you in with a fever on the 7th following her chemo. We went home Sunday even though the fever had not totally subsided and she still had no WBC. We took her home running all the I.V. fluids and meds at home. Her WBC did get to 200 yesterday. Hope that Keegen gets better and gets out of there. Seems like forever sometimes once you get there until you get home but I am sure it will be soon. I will keep you guys in my prayers. Hope you are getting some rest too, hospital nights don't get you much.

Keegan, It was great to see you yesterday at your house...I love that smile of yours. So your going to have your 15 minutes of fame!! WDAY is coming to do a story on you and Jared. Janice Piatz had the idea that it is pretty news worthy that both of you have cancer so I contacted TV stations and WDAY is coming to do an interview on Thursday. So everyone watch for it to come on!! That quilt we made for the raffle is getting some road time so watch for your opportunity to see it and get some tickets!! Lisa is going to get a picture of it on here, when she gets a chance. I hope to see you soon Keegan, you brighten my day with that smile. I keep praying for a miracle for you Keegan.

Hi Keegan -- was so nice to see you and your family yesterday. Your scar was a little wicked though. Hope all goes well with you back in school and that you can catch up with your studies. I'm sure you are anxious for spring so you can get outside for awhile. Our prayers are with you and your family (and your grandma--who by the way looked really good). Hang in there. Good luck next week during your visit at MeritCare. Hope to see you again soon!!

Hi Keegan!
I�m not exactly sure if you remember me, but I do remember you :). I just wanted to let you know that there are people around the world who will always think of you and pray for you-so do I. A friend of mine sent me a prayer and I wanna give you an excerpt from it now:
"I�m gonna send you an angel,
to let him watch over you.
take of him
and listen to his voice.
he�ll be a total blessing for you..."

Thank you Holly for that entry. I think many of us know we need to pray but do not know the words to help Keegan. I also think that Keegan and Lisa are on the minds of everyone in this community and alot of us feel helpless in what we can do. Lisa please keep letting the church know of your needs or also if you have any ideas that would help you out in any way.
Vicki Iverson <vickiiverson@hotmail.com>
- Wednesday, March 17, 2004 8:42 AM CST

Keegan & Lisa, I wanted my prayers to be the most effective and consistant...I felt unsure about my prayers. I met with Pastor Jerry and he helped me in this way. Romans 8:26-27 says: And in the same way- by our faith -the Holy Spirit helps us with our daily problems and in our praying. For we don't even know what we should pray for, nor how to pray as we should; but the Holy Spirit prays for us with such feeling that it cannot be expressed in words. And the Father who knows all hearts knows, of course, what the Spirit is saying as he pleads for us in harmony with God's own will.

~So you see when we don't know the right words to say or our minds drift off in the middle of praying, the Lord can read our hearts~

Allow some silence and listen.

Gracious & Glorious God, Have Mercy & Hear Me.
You are the source of my Strength & Hope, but how often I forget how powerful you are...Forgive me.
Your child Keegan Ott has Desmoplastic Small Round Cell Tumor Cancer. Heal him of this disease, Give him strength, Touch him with your presence and send Your Spirit to those who take care of him.

~Add anything else that comes to your mind~

Always help me remember that Your will surpasses that of mine.

Allow some silence and listen

I ask this through your Son who taught me to pray...Our Father who art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done, on earth, as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our trespassers as we forgive those who trespass against us. Lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. For thine is the kingdom, the power, and the glory, forever and ever. Amen

~So I have this printed out and I feel that my praying is more consistant and more effective now. I put this on your website in hopes that maybe someone else will be helped with their prayers also.

We have tickets ready for the raffle. There is a raffle for a Gorgeous Ragtime Quilt, a Portable DVD Player, and a $100 Savings Bond. Tickets are available at Kelly's Hardware, Citizens State Bank, Town & County Self Serve, Northern Plains Petroleum (C-Store) in Hannaford, and F&M Bank in Binford. If you'd like to get tickets to sell see Jolene Johnson at Town & County Self Serve. Watch for the quilt to be displayed around town by the end of the month. I think this will be a great fundraiser. Thanks ahead of time to everyone who helps with this project. Love ya, Keeg

If anyone reads this and wants to join us that would be great!! That quilt is going to be quite a prize with all the love that is going into it...whoever wins it will be truly blessed. Maybe the raffle tickets will be ready on Sunday too. We are planning to have the quilt done by the end of the month and then watch for it being displayed around town.

Lisa, I really hope you are able to get some time for yourself. When you are spending so much time taking care of someone, you should get some time for yourself, so you will stay strong and able to continue taking care of them. Wish I were closer, cause I would be happy to be able to help in anyway. But I can tell you have lots of loving family and friends near by. Take good care of yourself, and give my love to all.

Lisa, I know how hard it is not knowing the whole plan, but you really have to accept it on a day-by-day basis. It will be a lot harder if you don't. Ask questions, but don't expect the doctors to predict the future. It all depends on how each phase goes. Now, doesn't that sound like a lecture and a know-it-all attitude!! I don't mean it to, you know. Like everyone else, I'm keeping you in my prayers. Stay strong, and keep the faith.

Hi Keegan. You've been through a lot lately! Surgery, driving through snow back and forth to Fargo, not eating food, drinking Barium. Eek! Dan and I hope you're starting to feel more like yourself again.

We sent a package to your house in Cooper. Hopefully somebody is transporting your mail for you as you bounce around. The contents might help you keep your mind off of not being able to eat. ;)

How's your energy level these days? Do you feel tired or do you feel like you'd like to be doing more? Life in bed can get a little tiresome. Hope you're up and moving around a bit by now.

Take care Keegan. Be Well. If you feel up to it, wrestle the keyboard away from your mom and send us all a personal greeting. We who visit your website once a day would love to hear from you. Maybe you could dictate a little to your mom.

Everyone who is able to VISIT Keegan should give him a hug for the rest of us. Keegan, imagine your hugs are multiplied by a couple of hundred times each time you get one: hugotherapy.

I took your Grandma to her cardiac rehab appointment today and she surprised herself even, how much she had progressed. I picked up some flannel today at the bank...this gives even more people an opportunity to help...and it seems as tho everyone wants to do something. Grandma and I will see you tomorrow for lunch.

This web site is wonderful, it is heart warming to see all the love and prayers we all have for you and your family. They say experiencing Cancer is a life changing process. I have faith that you will come out of this realizing so many strengths you didn't even know you had. I have been thinking about you and your family and praying for a speedy recovery and for you to sense the love of God and all of us, you shall never be alone. Let me know if there is anything I can do, I am in Fargo on the weekends and would be happy to help.

fill you with His peace (you, too, Lisa!) We weren't at Awana last night but I'm sure they prayed for you there, too. We've been at Maris and felt they were very caring people and pray they'll take care of you, too. Blessings!

Hi Lisa & Keegan, I talked to you Mom/Grandma today. I read her your last update and now I will give her a call with this latest news. We are planning a few different fundraisers and there is an account at Citizens State Bank for people to give donations to help with expenses. We are asking for donations of flannel fabric and we are going to make a scrappy quilt for a raffle. Fabric can be brought to the bank also. Other prizes will be a portable DVD player and a savings bond. (Anyone want to donate the portable DVD player?) Everyone wants to do something to help so we will be having a couple meals as fundraisers too. I am so happy to hear that you might be coming home for awhile that will be a big boost for everyone. I better be getting ready for my scrapbooking retreat coming up. See you on Friday.

Hi Keegan! We were so shocked when we heard the news! You are in our thoughts and prayers. Randy and I sure enjoyed seeing you in May when we came to ND for Rinehart's funeral. We were shocked by how much you and Lucas had grown since the last time we saw you in 1993! We still laugh when we think about the night that we all stayed up late with Sherry and Larry and watched you consume enough food for an army!! It is great to see that you have so much support from your friends and family. God Bless!

Hey Keegan. I'm not really sure how you can even keep up with so many messages. But It's got to be nice to see how many people are thinking of you. I know we don't really talk too much but I think of you often and especially now when times are more challenging. If you can try to know that you can do and overcome anything. You are capable of healing yourself with the power of your mind. I think the combination of western medicine with eastern traditions can work real well. So what I mean is..cancer is hard to kill so they use real strong potent stuff and it will most likely make you weak and tired and sometimes plain old bad but you are young and tough and smart and you can overcome with the power of your thoughts and your own determination. I believe in you. Now I want you to remember to believe in you. Now and later when maybe you'll need reminding. But you can do it just like you can beat those old tracksters records and teach your friend to throw. Okay so long of a message but I dont get to a computer every day. So I will talk to you soon. I'm sending the Lance Armstrong book "Not about the bike". Well as soon as I find out where to send it. I love you lots. Be Well in your mind Heal your body with a little time. Heather

Dear Keegan
Hello from the Lunde household! Be assured of our prayers for your recovery from surgery and the strength for what lies ahead. You know Keegan, I remember you as a little guy in Nurturing class who would answer every personal question "I don't know." "What are your good qualities?" "I don't know"."What's one thing you're good at?" "I don't know", etc. It was so amusing that you never had an opinion or emotion about anything that I finally started calling you "Mr. I don't know."
Seven students from the church just completed a 30 Hour Famine. We started right after lunch on Friday and went until 6:30 on Sat. The goal was to understand to a small degree the hunger that many children face daily and to raise money through World Vision to help needy children. It only takes $30 to feed a child for a month, so we are seeing how many months we can raise money for. The kids also worked four hours at the Thrift store to earn money.
The pizza feast was fantastic after all that time of not eating! We love you and pray for you.

Lisa and Keegan,
All things happen for a reason. James 1:12 says, "Blessed are those who endure when they are tested. When they pass the test, they will receive the crown of life that God has promised to those who love Him."
You are going through a test and you will pass. You are strong and will grow in character each and every day. God wants to build character in each of us, and He does it in different ways.
You are strong and you will rise above all of this. Just endure to the end. Run the race and reach for the prize!
Love you guys and will see you soon,
Scott

hey keegan,
we've been missing u in school, i mean who's there to spike it for our team in volleyball when i'm not paying attention (we lost both games today :(, or to ask questions in science. It sure was quiet in keyboarding w/ out u and grant talking while playin ur games. Mr A told this joke in class bout how u know canadians always say "a" and mexicans say "c" so then we americans should say "b" right? ya it was kinda corny so he said "oh i was just wonderin bout that, dont u ever think bout things like that" and i was like no we don't waste our time (i thought i said it quietly but everyone heard and was like oooooooo) it was pretty embarassing. well that was like the most exciting thing that happened today. but you'd better hurry back cuz someone's gotta stop me from doing all the talking.
