Hi Kell -- sorry to hear you aren't feeling well. Hope you are feeling better today and the rest of the week. At least this way you should be feeling much better for Christmas. Is your tree up and decorated? I'm getting there..it is at least down out of the attic and the livingroom is rearranged to make room. Now all I have to do is to put it up and decorate. A project for this weekend. Will also "start" my Christmas shopping this weekend. After all I do still have 10 days left, right? lol. Can't wait to see your wallets, etc. You are so clever. What made you decide to make them? And where did you get the pattern or whatever you use? A good friend of min...Dr. Kandela, principal at Evergreen Elementary says "hi" and for me to give you a big hug when I see you. You probably don't know her, but your dad does. She takes her car to Biondi (or used to). Don't tell him, but she thinks he is pretty great, too. Hark! I hear Kirby barking out back. He may be having trouble finding the doggie door.......that sometimes happens at night.....it's harder for him to see things outside when it is dark. So for now I will say good nite and get to feeling better! Love ya bunches, Lil.

Hi Kell,

Sorry you have the flu! Bummer! Get lots of rest, and I'm sure you'll bounce back soon. Maura has a cold (she got a flu shot yesterday ... she wasn't very happy about it in spite of them putting a red Crayola Crayon bandaide on her leg). Molly is very excited to only have a week of school left before Christmas vacation, so she is pumped up! We are heading up north to cut down our tree on Sunday, and I hear that we might be in for some of the white stuff. I just hope it's not too much .... Uncle Jimmy is getting kind of old to be hauling a tree through knee deep snow! Keep your chin up, get plenty of rest, and we will hopefully see you very soon!

P.S. The "Let it Snow" e-mail you sent me didn't come through on my end ... can you try to resend it?

Love, Aunt Kate, Uncle Jimmy, Molly and Maura

Hi, Kelly! Adorable school picture! Cute hair style! Did you hair come back differently after your bmt? When Christian lost his hair to chemo, it came back thicker and a lot darker!! Glad to read you are doing so well...oops about the pants, but after all you have been through, a tear in your jeans is NOTHING! Hope I get to meet you in real life someday. Christian has an appointment at the clinic on Nov. 24 at 9:00...any chances you have one that day?

See you soon! Lots of Love, Aunt Karen

Hi Kell -- just noticed the new photo. What a great picture.......you look so beautiful. I was at your school the other, but didn't have time to stop in your room. Had to take a picture of a board member in the library----quick trip in and out! Will try to stop the next time. Am so happy you had a good Halloween. This can be such a fun time of year. There didn't seem to be a many kids out this year. Maybe it was the time change and the Gateway football game. I don't know. But, I have a big bag of candy left. Guess I'll have to eat it myself (lol). Time for me to get to bed. Hope you have a good day tomorrow.......Love ya bunches, Lil (and Kirby).

They can't wait for you to come again. I just noticed the new picture. You are soooooo beautiful. I love the school picture. I am anxiously awaiting my copy. Hopefully you will be giving it to me soon. Hope it's a nice day when you come over again. Hopefully we can get to the zoo. Take care and tell everyone we said hello.

Hi Kelly. It is still very nice weather wise here at the beach. I go down every day and ride my bike. I understand perfectly why you wouldn't consider a ride in an ambulance a "fun" thing. You know what it is like to be there under different circumstances. Thank God that is behind you now. As far as your costume is concerned, I think that you are ALL angel. Glad you are enjoying your bird so much.

Hey Kell,

Just wanted to thank you and your mom for babysitting the girls this past weekend. Just to let you know that Maura was "out cold" by 8:00 PM, so you know she was pooped out! I fell asleep with Molly watching Sleeping Beauty around 9:30, so we were all very rested come Sunday. Thanks again for everything!

Hey Kell. Just thought I'd check to see if you updated. It was great to see you at the football game on Friday. It was fun watching the Gateway Gators cream the Franklin Regional Panthers. The girls enjoyed being with their cousins. Give us a call sometime and either they can come over or you can come here. I wanted also to congratulate Michael on becoming a newly licensed driver. Way to go. I guess now he can chauffeur you anywere at anytime. Say hello to everyone and Happy Halloween!!!!! Love ya, Aunt JoJo

Sorry I missed everyone at the campfire on the weekend....I didn't get Aunt Karen's email until late Sunday and I had already made plans with my mom. I hear that you got rained on again.........that seems to be par for the course this year. But it was fun for everyone to be together. Love the new pic of you and Maddie.....what a cute name for a bird. I hear that it like to sit on your mom's sholder and hide under her hair! Can't wait to see her......will stop over soon.

We are thinking about you and saying prayers that all will be well for you tomorrow! Let me be the first to wish you Happy Anniversary! You are a real trooper and have come such a long way in such a short period (I can't believe it will be a year tomorrow)! We had a good trip to the beach. Maura was covered from head to toe (and all the cracks and rolls in between) with sand, but she loved the beach and eventually the ocean. Molly would have stayed at the pool all week if we would have allowed her. The DVD's were great. Molly has a gift for you for letter her borrow them. We will have to get out to see you soon. In the meantime, God Bless You (and Corey and Michael and Mom and Dad, too!) We love you ... Aunt Kate, Uncle Jimmy, Molly and Maura

I'll be thinking about you and anxiously await the report on the bone marrow. I think I am going to head for bed early. I have a headache that could choke a horse....maybe a good nights sleep will cure it. Take care sweetheart. Lov ya bunches, Lil & Kirby.

Molly wants me to bring her home an autograph of a cowgirl. Anyway, we would love to borrow your dvd's to take to the beach with us. I fly back from Dallas tomorrow afternoon, so maybe we can stop by on Friday. We will give you a call to make sure you will be home.

Hi Kell: I hope by now the Shingles are well on their way to being better. What a bummer! I missed you last week at Lisa's party. Haven't seen you in a while. I promise to stop over soon, but it will have to be after the Shingles are long gone. I never had the chicken pox/shngles. Neither did my sister until just a couple of years ago. Boy was she a mess.....took lots of oatmeal baths! Hope yours goes away soon and you can enjoy what's left of the summer. Love ya bunches, will see you soon. Lil (and Kirby)

I hope you're feeling better next week and you can visit her. I'll be looking for those jumping beans!!! Take care and get better quick!!! Lots of Love, Aunt Karen

Hi Kelly!!!

Just want you to know that I'm thinking of you and check your web page every week or so. It sounds like you have been having a fun summer, between movie night and craft day! I'm sorry to hear that you have the shingles. I'm hoping that they go away very soon!

Get well soon so you can enjoy the rest of this summer

Luv,

Hi Kell. Just wanted you to know we've been thinking of you and praying that your shingles go away fast. We miss you. Becca and I drove past on Tuesday after piano practice and waved and said hello Kelly. Hopefully you will soon be better and we can come over and see you. The girls were bummed that they didn't get to do crafts with you last week and now they couldn't this week either. Hopefully next week. Take care and say hello to everybody for us. Love ya, Aunt JoJo

Hey Kell. Just checking the website even though we've seen you a lot lately. We are so happy that you had a great time this weekend at "Camp Benzingers". It is usually fun. We will have to plan a trip to the Benzinger pool again soon. The girls have been having a fun time at the "Kelly Kraft Korner" on Thursdays too. You're mom was telling me about your foot hurting you. I will tell Becca and Emi to talk to God tonight about that. After their prayers they sometimes ask God for some help on something. So they'll put in a good word for you. Emi is having a sad afternoon. I had to tell her that Flower (the crab) died. So she is really upset about that and also had to tell her that it's time we find Spike a better home. So if you know of anyone who would like to have a 2 year old German Shepard let us know. We are asking their Uncle Jimmy first and if he doesn't take him then we are going to find a good home for him. He needs a place to run around free and not always leashed. He's like that horse Spirit. He needs to run. See you tomorrow for Craft Day. Love ya, Aunt JoJo

Hi Kell,

I'm ashamed of myself for not checking in/writing for so long. Between work and my 3 kids (that includes Uncle Jimmy!), I lost track of time. Anyway, I was looking at some of your past journal entries, and it appears that you have been very busy yourself. That is GREAT! Also, one of your journal entries talks about Punchline coming over and that the last time they saw you you were ugly! That is quite impossible. Never in my life have I met someone who is as beautiful as you. Appearance is not everything, Kelly. What matters most is your spirit and how you influence others ... given that fact, I can't say that I've ever met anyone as beautiful as you! We love you very much ... I hope to keep in touch via your site more often. Aunt Kate, Uncle Jimmy, Molly and Maura

Hi Kell -- how did your movie night go? I heard, by way of the grapevine, that it was a lot of fun. It certaily was good that it was last night and not tonight. Some storm, huh? How exciting about the baby bird. Tough trying to decide which one huh? Tell Corey I didn't forget his birthday, I just wasn't able to get over there last week. I worked every night until after 9 pm and that would be too late. I want to stop with his card sometime this week. so I hope to see you when I do. Did you see the fireworks tonight? I was going to go over to the Mall, but Kirby is very nervous since he can't see vary well and Buddy was frightened of the loud noise. So I decided to forego
it this year. I missed it tho, I am such a kid at heart--have always loved fireworks! Take care sweetheart. Love you bunches. Lil and Kirby.

Hi Kelly, I'm glad to hear that camp was so much fun. And that's exciting news about the hatching! Can you tell if it's a boy or a girl? We saw a lovebird last night at Pet Supplies Plus. It was a peach cheeked one and vey cute. How long until you bring the new bundle of joy home?

Hi Kelly - I just wanted to welcome you and Michael back from camp. I hope you guys had fun. Your speech was really well-written. I wish I could have heard it. Brian and Ashleigh are enjoying a visit from my Aunt Kathleen, who is from Ireland. We saw her in Philadelphia, now she is here in Pittsburgh, which is fun. I have missed her very much and am so glad she's had the chance to meet the kids. Hopefully, the next time we see her will be in Ireland (but that's a long way off!) I can't think of any good bird names. I think I'd have to meet him/her first. Take care. We love you very much! Love, Aunt Jess, Uncle Kevin, Brian and Ashleigh

Hey Kell. We wanted to be the first ones to WELCOME you back here. Hope you had a great time at camp. We missed you. Becca had her second piano lesson while you were away (She loves it!!) and we stopped over on the way home. It was weird not to see you there. Peppy even looked lonely. We will have to go and get ice cream again next week. Hope Michael had a good time too. Maybe we can all go to the drive-ins soon. Say hello to everyone. See you soon. We love you all!!!

Hi Kelly, You did a great job with the speech! I am so happy that you ar FINALLY getting a bird, but I think that they usually come in two's, I am not sure though. We had love birds when I was little. I was thinking that a good name for a love bird would be one of a famous lover like Casanova or Peppy Le Pew, but I think that you might already have a Peppy! OR if there are two it could be Romeo and Juliet!!! Are you set on a lovebird? Cause my sister has 2 blue parakeets that she would like to give to a loving home. You have an open invitation to come over to our house to swim anytime. We were supposed to get together with Emily, Rebecca and Spike too.

Hi Kelly - Sounds like it was a fun picnic. My sister wanted to let you guys know that anytime you want to come to her house and swim, it's fine. Tomorrow is her last day of school, then she will be home for the summer. She means it, so just give me a call and we'll plan a time. I will track you down if I don't hear from you! The water is still pretty cold, but refreshing. Hopefully it will get a little more summery soon. Brian had such a great time with you last weekend and so did I. It was a real treat to have you guys over. Plus, the bed is awesome. Thank you all for the hard work! It's great to read such positive news on this site. We love you!

Hi Kell,

Sorry, it's been a while ... We did manage to capture Sunshine (or should I say, she captured herself). She wandered back into the cage and we happened to see her in there and hurried up and snapped the lid on! We are glad to hear that slowly but surely you are able to get back to doing fun "kid" stuff like riding your bike and going on field trips. That is really great! Molly's last day of school is Friday (she has 1/2 day), so she's really excited about that. Maura always keeps us laughing. When you ask her "What does an alligator do, Maura?" she claps her hands together and says "Snap!" Well, keep your chin up. Hopefully we will see you soon. Love, Aunt Kate, Uncle Jimmy, Molly and Maura

It's hard to believe that were are into June already and school will be over and summer is here. Wow! Before we know it we will be celebrating the 4thof July.! Have fun on you bike, but be careful.

We caught Dena's last hamster Pandy onetime by putting some treats in a small bucket with a ramp (small board) going up the bucket. Pandy fell in to get the treats and couldn't get back out! It might work for Sunshine. Tell them not to give up though because Pandy was gone for more than a week!

Hey Kell,

Sorry I didn't get to say goodbye on Sunday, but Maura conked out on me, so I had to take her home to bed. That's what she gets for not taking her usual nap! Anyway, we were very happy to see you. You look GREAT! Guess what, Molly's gerbil, Sunshine, is loose out of her cage. We went to fill up her water bottle, and I left the lid off her cage, and she climbed out over top of the water bottle holder! She is still loose wandering around Molly's room, and we can't get her back in her cage! I don't know whose more afraid of who, she of me, or I of her. Molly is worried that Subshine is going to get hurt, I am worried that she will never go back in her cage, and Maura just runs around screaming at her! Uncle Jimmy has decided that he might not come home from work until we catch her! Any advice on how to capture an escaped gerbil would be welcome! Chin up! We love you, Aunt Kate, Uncle Jimmy, Molly and Maura (& Sunshine .... wherever she is!)

Kelly, sorry to hear you are in the hospital. Fortunately they took that pesky broviac out. Our son has the mediport and it's a very quick pinch(or ouchie as he would say.) Some parents put emla cream on the site to lessen the pinch. Christian goes for his last spinal tap and bone marrow aspirate on the 13th. Three years have gone so fast! Hope you get moved to 8N soon...I feel the same way about 8N as you and your mom do...such a great bunch!

Hi Kell,

Sorry to hear that you had to check back into Hotel Children's. Hopefully it will be a short stay and you can get back to that luxury resort called Hotel Home! I can't believe I haven't written in a long time, but they (work!) changed the way that we can display our internet home page, and unfortunately, I can't have yours as mine (make sense???) And, since I work at the computer all day long, I don't tend to log in much at home. I need to make a better effort to check in. I think we need to start potty training Maura. I told Molly that since Maura looks up to her so much, that that would be a great job for Molly to do. Molly wasn't all too enthused to say the least! But, I really do think she's ready. She will point to her rumper and say "poop" and when you ask "Did you poop Maura?" she shakes her head no. But your nose tells you otherwise. Molly is going on a field trip next week to tour Heinz Field. Uncle Jimmy has her so brainwashed that instead of saying "I'm going on a tour of Heinz Field home of the Pittsburgh Steelers", Molly says, "I'm going on a tour of Heinz Field. That's where the Pitt Panthers play you know!" Well, we will say extra prayers that the antibiotics clear up your infection so that you can check out of there soon. In the meantime, chin up! We love you ... Aunt Kate, Uncle Jimmy, Molly and Maura

I always feel so much better after a visit there. I could just scoop them all up and bring them home! I should plan to stop over at your house someday next week. One of the ladies from the Arts Council give me a package for you. I'm not sure what is in it, but she says you will have fun. I'll check to see when would be a good time. Kisses to all.

Hi Kell - what wonderful news......you had a good DR report and your line is bug free! With the beautiful weather we are having today, bet you felt like celebrating. How are you making out in school? It has got to be very exciting (and maybe a little exhausting). Bet you aren't bored anymore! Hopefully Buddy will be going to "puppy" kindergarten soon and just as soon as he learns to listen we'll plan a visit. Right now is is so excitable that he won't listen to anything we say. Sooooooooooo much of a puppy. A terrier puppy. He will be great once he goes to school. I hope to eventually take him to agility training. I know he would be great at jumping through hoops, rings, etc. He jumps and bounces so much now we should have called him POGO! Time for bed. Take care sweetheart and remember, we love you bunches. Lil and Kirby!

Hi Kell -- wanted to let you know I am thinking about you and hope the "line cleansing" procedure works. It would certainly make all those decisions easier, if it does. Love the new pics on your web page. You look like you certainly had a great time at your slumber party. (by the way, I'll never understand why they call it a slumber party....no one ever sleeps!). I don't think I've talked to any of you since I had Kirby to vets last week. He was way over due for his check up, but, in addition, he was not acting like himself. He was drinking a TON of water and then of course making puddles everywhere. He was eating ok, but was very listless. Well, after hours of tests (and a whole lot of money) later, guess what he has? Sugar Diabetes! Can you believe it? I have to give him a shot of insulin in the morning and evening every day! I never knew dogs could get that, but guess what? They can! He is really good about the shots....although I do have to bribe him with peanut butter biscuits! Speaking of shots.....it's time for the evening one (9:00 pm). Take care and lets hope you get rid of this nasty bacteria without having to get rid of the line. Love ya bunches, Lil & Kirby.

Hi Kell,

So sorry about not being able to go to school. If Molly was told she couldn't go so school, she would say "that's cool!" More important than school is to make sure you get well ... I'm sure this is just a small set back, and you will be in the classroom soon! Maura just LOVES her grasshopper rocker. She climbs on it all by herself and just rocks away! We were so happy to see you on Saturday. Sunshine appears to be nocturnal ... sleeps all day and is up on her wheel (which by the way is very squeeky!) all night. After you left, Maura finally fell asleep. I had her at the Docs yesterday, and they diagnosed her with asthma. She will have to use an inhaled steriod indefinitely to keep it under control. I know we talked about your experience with steriods. This isn't as powerful as what you were on and, of course, you know how to handle steriods. I'm sure she will get used to it after a while. I just hope I can get her to keep the mask on. Well, try to stay busy, and maybe you will get to go to school next week. We love you, Aunt Kate, Uncle Jimmy, Molly and Maura

Just wanted to tell you (and I am SURE you will!) have a great time tonight. Try to go easy on you Mom, huh??? Well, it looks like everyone is healthy, so we are looking forward to seeing you on Sunday. We will bring the skins! We are all heading to the St. Patrick's Day Parade tomorrow. Molly already told me to pack a bag so that she can put all the candy in it that gets thrown her way! Also, we caved in and told her she could get gerbils. She is SO excited. We plan to get them this weekend. Well, have a GREAT time tonight, and we will see you on Sunday! Love, Aunt Kate, Uncle Jimmy, Molly and Maura

Hi Kelly, I bet you are excited about going back at school with all of your friends! then you will have lots to keep you busy. I hope that your cousin Maura is feeling better! I think that your family has seen enough of Children's Hospital!! Dena was there last Thursday and Friday for more tests too. Her brain and spine seem to be recovered from the Chiari Malformation. They think that she has something called abnormal migraines. She has to see another doctor on the 28th to find out more about it. We think of you every day and pary for you too!

Hey Kel! You sound like you're keeping busy (even though you say you are bored)! I love the pictures of you at the benefit dinner. You, of course, look beautiful and I love the superbowl ring! I'm surprised you could hold your hand up (that thing looked so heavy)! Going back to school would be wonderful for you (and a liitle scary too). Tell your Mom not to worry too much - you are a very strong girl! We miss you at Children's Hospital ( but don't want to see you back here) :) Keep updating the website. I love hearing about all the good news and there seems to be more of it everyday!
PS - My dog Chloe is doing wonderful! I took her to Philadelphia with me this past weekend. She hated the car and vomited the whole way there. I felt so bad!!!

Hey Kell, Congratulations on your 6th Month Mark, YAHOOOOOO! I would have written sooner, but your cousin Maura has been giving us trouble!!! We had to make a trip to Hotel Children's Hospital again on Wednesday (only to find out later from Pap that you were there too! for a routine visit) No pneumonia this time, but she does still have some infection in her lung, so they sent us home with yet another antibiotic. Really, you would have never known she was sick. She was running all over the hospital getting into things, and every time we had to pick her up to keep her from getting into things, she would throw a fit. We are going to have to think about starting to give her some "time outs" or something. She is quite a stinker! Today, Molly was all dolled up for picture day at school. These are "extra" pictures that they take to include in the yearbook. She's been asking when we can come see you. I want to make ABSOLUTELY SURE that everyone is healthy, and then we can make a date to come out for a few hours. We STILL have your birthday gift. I see that you will be meeting with the lung doctors on March 17th ... St. Patrick's day. We will pray to St. Pat for good news on that day! Keep up your spirits ... we love you!

Hi Kell - thrilled to hear the good news about the test results. Just one more positive step towards recovery. I know it seems slow-just remember with every new day, every positive step no matter how big or small, its one step closer to recovery. You are such a brave young lady and I bet your dad was so very proud of you. I may be in your school some time this week. If I am I will try and stop in and say hi to your teacher. We are putting together the schooldistrict newsletter and I need toget some stories from each building.....so I will be making the rounds. I haven't seen "Buddy" for about a week -- I've been fighting this terrible cold and cough and didn't want to take it to my mom.....I miss him. He is growing so fast. I can't wait until it is warm enough to take him to puppy kindergarten.....it should be lots of fun (and work). Perhaps once he settles down and learns to behave on the leash we can bring him over for you to see. By-the-way, what kind of puzzels do you like. I used to put puzzels together a lot when I was younger. I may still have some around here somewhere. I'll look and see. I even frames one once, but have no idea where that is now. Time for sleep. Take care sweetheart...we love you bunches. Lil and Kirby

I was getting ready to go to bed, so I'll give you guys a call in the a.m. The girls are, of course, sick again. Had to get them some good drugs so they can sleep through the night. Emi's been up around 4 a.m. for the past few nights so I'm pretty tired. And she stays awake! Emily had her b-day party at preschool today. And Rebecca's tea party went well. We can't wait for your party and the girls can't wait to have their party with you. So hopefully everyone will be feeling better soon and spring will come fast. This is a dreary winter. Tell everyone we said hello and we love all of you guys. I'll call you in the morning. Love ya, Aunt JoJo

But, Rocky Blier was a great substitute. He is really a great guy. He used to come to a lot of the benefits we had at Duquesne. I can just imagine Michael and Corey--the Super Bowl rings are awesome. Can you just imagine having 4 of them! Am headed over to my mom's to see Buddy. He is really a case. Reminds me of Puppy when she was so active. Am anxious to see you.

What do you think if Jagr misses the Mothers Hope benefit :o) and play for the Pens instead. They sure can use him!!!! I'm sooooo happy to hear that you're feeling better. Maura wants to thank you and your Mom for your hospital "connections" that allowed her that fancy car to ride around the halls in. She really loved that! I have to tell you, I feel real sorry for you to have to eat that food ... it really is pretty bad, huh? :o( Well, let's hope this is the first step to getting you out of the hospital and back home. After all, we have a Birthday to celebrate yet! We love you, Aunt Kate, Uncle Jimmy, Molly and Maura

Hi Kell (Mom, Dad, Corey and Michael, too) -- am anxiously awaiting to hear the results of the procedures you had today. I pray the Drs. find out what's causing you to feel so bad soon and give you something to make you feel better. I just know they will. You certainly aren't mising anything, except of course a whole lot of snow. It just never seems to end. Kirby is having a blast running in and out playing the all this white stuff. He just loves it. I bet Puppy does too, doesn't she? I spent the day driving around looking for "snow" pictures for the paper. Hopefully, tomorrow will get back to normal. Try not to be too disappointed that you are going to miss the dinner with Jamar--like your mom said, it is just one night. There will be lots of other dinners and events after you get well. Getting better is the most important thing. You are a strong young lady and we are all so proud of you. Goodnight sweetheart and remember I love you bunches. Lil

Nancy, You are doing the right thing when you let us know what areas specifically need prayer. Jesus said that whatever things we desire, if we believe we receive them when we pray, we will have them. Mark 11:24 The Lord has surrounded your family with people that believe that promise and we will agree with you that the good work that He has done in Kelly will be completed. The words to a song that I heard a long time ago always lift me up when I need it. They are, "He didn't bring us this far to leave us. And He didn't lift us up to let us down." We serve a faithful God. Love, Cindy

You have been through so much in your young life--keep your chin up--we and very many other families are praying for you and your family every day. Our Kelly said to tell you that she hopes you feel better very soon. Take

Kelly, Glad to hear that you are staying positive. We hope you have a great birthday this week. Tell your Mom we say Happy Birthday. It's a good thing that you are at home because the schools are riddled with illness. Jeff, Mark and Marcie go to St. Bernadette and there were 95 kids absent yesterday! There are only 300 some in the school, so that is about 1/3 out. I have all 3 of my kids home sick, so I know firsthand that this is ugly. We are praying for you all the time and hope that when the weather is warmer we can say hi while we walk the neighborhood. Stay warm. Francie Jacob and Family

Hi Kelly! I am home from school today with strep throat.
=( So...I won't be coming to see you too soon because I don't want to pass along my germs. Even if the doctor says I'm not contagious, I don't want to chance it. I'm glad to hear that you had a good time at Marli's this weekend. I can't wait to hear all about it!

I can't remember your new email address so I thought I would write to you here. Oh...one more thing...when I ask Sunny to get a bath, she runs and jumps in the tub!!!

I'll see you soon and will call later this week.

Love,

Hey Kelly,

Your mom and dad shouldn't be surprised at how amazing their kids are, you know! They are very proud of all three of you and rightfully so! Anyway, I didn't tell you the specifics about my parakeet, Lunkhead. But, he pooped a heck of a lot, and keeping his cage clean was a real pain in the butt! I know its a small consolation, but maybe it's just as well that the bird thing didn't work out this time around. Don't be too sad. The day will come eventually when you will be able to get that love bird. Hope you had fun at your sleepover. We miss you and hope to be able to see you soon. Love, Aunt Kate, Uncle Jimmy, Molly and Maura

Hi Kell -- I know you must be disappointed about not getting the love bird right now. But, think of this....the weather is so cold and miserable it wouldn't be a good idea to transport a little bird from one place to another right now. You wouldn't want it to get a cold or sick. So maybe it is best to wait a little while. It will give you something to look forward to. How neat that you got to sleepover at your friends last the other night. Did you have a good time? I know your mom must have missed you terribly, but it was good that you could go. Sorry to hear your headaches have not left, but lets hope that cutting back on your medicine dosage will help. You must remember to let your mom know--it is very important. Hey, tell Corey I think it's great he is taking the SAT's. This will give him the opportunity to know what they are like and each year he will score better and better. Spent the day with "Buddy". He is really something. As soon as this miserable weather breaks you will have to come see him. Meanwhile, if I remember tomorrow I will email you his Christmas picture. Take care sweetheart, stay warm and remember, we love you bunches.....Lil and Kirby

Nancy, It is good for Corey to take the SAT each year. They will tell you that it won't increase the final score much, but we have found that not to be the case. Our kids increased every year and all ended up with academic scholarships.

Hi Kelly. Sorry to hear that it will be a little while before you can get your bird, but just try to be patient. You have come so far and done so well. It won't be long before you can have and do all the things that you want to, without suffering any set backs. Patience is hard even for adults, but we all love you, especially your parents, and want to see you continue on to full recovery. Before you know it, summer will be here, and you will be glad that you took good care of yourself, and can join in the fun.

Fancy that, a Love Bird!!! I used to date a guy (don't tell Uncle Jimmy!) that was a breeder of parakeets, so he gave me one. He would get out of his cage and fly around the house and eventually come back and land on my finger so I could put him back in his cage. I named him "Lunkhead". Molly told me what you wanted for your birthday, so we're on a mission to find it (them). Hopefully everyone will stay healthy so we can come out and sing Happy Birthday To You! We're so glad you have been feeling so well and have been able to have friends over and sleepovers. Keep it up! Talk to you soon ... love, Aunt Kate, Uncle Jimmy, Molly and Maura

And, by the way, you know you need to give your birthday list to your FAVORITE aunt and Godmother (one in the same) FIRST - just like the Christmas list! I'm so happy to see that you're feeling so good. It's been starting my day out with a BIG SMILE when I come into work and read your website before I do anything else!

Hello. It is soooo great to hear what a wonderful weekend you guys had. Kell, hope you're not mad at me for keeping Aunt Ditty with us on Sunday. I think she had a nice time, but I also think she wanted to come to your house to help you. She kept talking about you. Emily has a cold, yet again. She is coughing now. So hopefully as soon as she's done with this one, she will be done. Hey, your birthday (and the girls) is coming up soon. You should start making your list and give it to me first. And what's this another pet? And a bird. Wow you really will be living in a zoo. Take care. Say hello to everyone. We love you guys!! Love, Aunt JoJo, Uncle Bob, Becca & Emi

Hi Kell,

It was good talking with you last night. I kept trying to think of an idea for Molly's school project, and I thought about "The First 100 Days of School Board Game" and we could kind of make it like Monopoly, but Molly said to give you a few days to come up with something "better". I tried! I'm happy to hear you're keeping busy. Making dolls sounds right up your alley. If they are anything like the pillows, they will be absolutely beautiful! Maura got mad at me this morning because I wouldn't let her play in the fridge. The other day I opened up the fridge and there was a Barbie doll in there! When I picked her up to get her away from the fridge (I was packing lunches), she actually pulled my hair, on purpose! She is quite the stinker. Well, if you think of anything, give Molly a call. She thinks you're the greatest(and she's right!) Love, Aunt Kate, Uncle Jimmy, Molly and Maura.

Hi Kell -- it's so good to read your entries. I know what you mean about the pet store....I'm a sucker for every kind of animal they have. If I had the money and the space I would have one of everything! As it is I have Kirby, two birds and 21 fish! I guess that's about all I can handle for now. It was wonderful for all of us to be together on Friday night (even though we had to deal with the crazy weather). I just love my pillow. I don't know where you come up with the ideas you do. It even has ship wheel designs! I will treasure it forever. You will have to keep a log of all the stuff you make. Buddy, my mom's puppy is a real trouble maker. He is just being a puppy, but does he ever get into trouble. We are thinking about trying to train him in a litter box (like cats).....we've read where a lot of people are doing that these days. It would make the whole housebreaking thing easier for my mom. I'm just not sure how well it will work. I hope those headaches go away soon. It could very well be the fluid thing. Glad to hear you drank more today--keep it up. Love ya bunches, Lil and Kirby

I have a brace that was made just for my knee so wait til you see me. I'm walking pretty funny now, but hopefully it will help. The girls can't wait to see you on Friday for the post-Christmas party.

Hey Kelly,

I wish I could have joined you on your shopping trip. It is one of my favorite pasttimes (although, my bank account doesn't always allow me to enjoy it!) So glad you were able to get out to the mall. I have shown my beautiful pillows to everyone, and they have all marvelled at your talent! My angel is at home on the mantle, but I plan on bringing it in to work and keeping it on my desk so that I can enjoy it all day long! The bunny sits on the window sill at the bottom of the stairs. Maura loves to look at it and say "bah" (which seems to be her favorite word??? of late). Anyway, speaking of Maura, she is recovering from her pneumonia and getting back to her mischevious self. Molly says to say "hello". She started back to school yesterday after being off for the holidays for two weeks. Needless to say, we had a rough morning yesterday getting out of bed! God bless, and keep up the great attitude! love you much ... Aunt Kate, Uncle Jimmy, Molly and Marua

Well we brought the puppy home with us at Christmas.....he is adorable, but also a devil. I call him the devil in a dog suit. He gets into absolutely everything--like puppies do. I took a real cute picture of him in a Christmas stocking...I will email it to you. Enjoy your day tomorrow at the Mall. It should be fun. Hope all goes well at the clinic on Thursday....can't wait to see you on Friday.....christmas all over again. Love ya bunches, Lil (and Kirby)

Hi Kell - Have been thinking about you and am so glad to hear Friday went well and that you FINALLY got to have PIZZA HUT. It is hard to believe that Christmas is only 10 days away. I can just imagine your excitment. But I'm afraid I must agree with your mom about the monkey. They are cute and fun, but are a lot harder to take care of than a puppy or kitty. I don't know if you remember the one that use to come to the Festival. He (actually it was a she) came with the owner every year and walked around in the crowd. I got to know the owner fairly well. She was a good monkey, only because of the training and hard work the owner did. They can't really be left alone--they need constant attention. Anyway, I know you will have a wonderful Christmas -- even without a monkey. This Christmas will definitely be a good one for all of us -- just knowing you are getting better and will be celebrating with your family and cousins. Love you bunches, Lil (and Kirby)

I'm glad to see you are doing better and have passed the milestone of 100 days. That's so cool about Jamir. Jonathan wants to play hockey. Pizza Hut is my favorite pizza also. There is one right by our house, but they don't deliver here, so we hardly ever have it. We hope and pray your tests results come back good.

Hi Kelly,
Glad you finally got your pizza. You waited along time for it. I know just how you feel about the monkey. I always wanted a duck and my mother wouldn't get me one either!
Love and prayers.

Hi Kell -- Day 100! Wow, how great. You certainly have come a long way since August, and although this is just another milestone, it is a very big and important milestone. Hope everything goes well tomorrow and you get a good report. I will be thinking of you. How neat that you received a card from Jamar. So you have your tree decorated and presents wrapped already? Well, guess what? I haven't even started. I should probably begin this weekend. Weather permitting I will put the outside lights out and then maybe concentrate on the tree. I don't want to do my shopping too early...you know me, I like saving that for my Christmas Eve trip to the Mall. However, this year it will have to be the Mall in Columbus, since I will be driving to my sister's for Christmas. We will be bringing my mom's new puppy home with us.........I can't wait to see how much he has grown since Thanksgiving. It should be such fun. Love you bunches, Lil & Kirby

Day 100...what a pleasant way to say today's date! You truly have done a great job, Kelly, with your attitude and health! No more peanut butter with celery, okay? Too bad about Pizza Hut being put on hold, but just think how awesome that pizza is going to taste when you are 100% well!!

Hi Guys- We were in Uniontown for Thanksgiving and didn't get to check in on you for a few days. My parents don't even have cable TV let alone the internet! But they do have a horse and 3 ponies, but with all this cold weather, Dena and Wally bring their Playstation 2 there so that they don't get too bored. Mara loved making sugar and gingerbread cookies and decorating them. We know that the doctors will take good care of you and you will be home very soon. We are remembering you in our prayers! Stay strong! Was the Santa CLaus 2 movie good?

Kell = I was so surprised to read that you had to go back to the hospital on Thanksgiving. I was at my sister's in Columbus and was unable to sign onto your site from there---her computer was down. From reading the latest entry it sounds as though they have you feeling better (which is very good). But still don't know what casued the infection. I hope and pray that everything stabilizes and they let you come home real soon. Tell you mom and dad I send my best and if there is anything you guys need, please call me. I'm just a few streets away. I will call Aunt JoJo sometime today for an update. I know it's hard, but keep up your good spirits. A positive attitude is the best medicine. Remember sweetheart, I love you bunches and will talk to you soon. Lil (and Kirby)

Kelly, I have been following your transplant from the beginning(thanks to Reta Diethorn.) I am so encouraged that you are doing so well!! My son, Christian, and I looked for you yesterday at the clinic, but I should have realized that you would be in one of the isolated rooms...we were there for a 1:20pm spinal tap/chemo; we were in the room closest to the pharmacy. I looked in all the open rooms and for your name. I should have asked...I figured you had left already; you were there long after we left. When Nurse Donna handed us the foam turkey craft to do while we waited, I immediately thought, "I wonder if Kelly brought these in for the kids." You are the craftiest 10 year old I know! Do you scrapbook, too? You have a lot of great pictures! I pray you continue to do well and that your positive attitude remains intact!

Congratulations, Kell!!!! I am soooo glad to hear you are going to be sleeping in your own bed upstairs!!!!! That is wonderful. We miss you guys very very very much!!! Emi is still sick. She actually had a 102 temp today so she will probably be staying home from school tomorrow. She keeps asking me if she will be better by Christmas. I thought she'd be better by Thanksgiving. Hopefully she will be and we can see you on Thanksgiving. Say hello to those brothers of yours. I kinda miss them too. (shh don't tell them that though). Take care, we love you guys!!!

Hey Kelly,

It is so wonderful to hear the you were able to get to the movies! That is one that Molly wants to see as well. We haven't had time for movies lately. Molly plays on a "little dribblers" basketball team on Sundays. It is boys and girls mixed ages 1st to 3rd grades. Molly makes an occassional basket, but the real reason she likes to go is Luke. It seems that all the girls have a crush on Luke. She writes notes that say "I Love Luke" and keeps them in her back pack. As far as I know she has not delivered any to him. Maura is walking up a storm now. As a matter of fact, this morning, someone left the gate open at the bottom of the steps, and the next thing I knew, she was 3 steps from the top and looking quite proud of it! Needless to say, I did not suffer a heart attack! Well, day 100 is fast approaching. You are one brave young lady who we are all very, very proud of and love very, very much! Take care. Get working on your Christmas list! We love you, Aunt Kate, Uncle Jimmy, Molly and Maura

Hi Kell - Wow only 1/4 left of the 100 days! Good to hear your Drs. appointment went well. But I must echo Aunt JoJo's message--DRINK, DRINK, DRINK. I know it's a lot, but must be better than the IV stuff. I don't drink as much as you are supposed to, but I do drink a lot of water. I have a 16 ox. bottle of water with me all the time. Of course the bathroom thing follows, but one goes along with the other. I am still fighting this cold and cough thing. It has turned into a miserable cough now. Hopefully it will be gone soon. I still have all of those cards for you from my girlfriend's class. I've been puppy hunting for my mother..haven't found her a dog yet, but maybe by Christmas. Take care sweeheart and remember I love you bunches. Lil (and Kirby)

Hey Kell. We miss you lots!!!!! But hopefully soon we will be able to visit you. Becca is starting to feel better, but Emily is in the middle of the cold and cough now so maybe in another week or so, we can visit. You're getting near the end of the 100 days so hang in there. Try really hard to drink, drink, drink. I can't harass ya about that because I know it's really hard to do. I don't do well myself with drinking enough. But I know you can do it, especially since you've been swallowing all those pills and you know how I feel about swallowing pills. Take care and say hello to everyone for us. We love all of you!!!!

Sea Monkeys! Wow, I haven't seen them for years. I remember me and my cousin trying to "hatch" them when we were about your age, but nothing ever came of it. You must have the magic touch! Well, I have to leave work early today to take Molly to the eye doctor. She had a vision screening at school and they recommended that she be tested by a real eye doctor. She would be thrilled to have to wear glasses. Uncle Jimmy and I hope not, though! Maura is walking. She can take about 8 - 10 steps by herself, and she has also started to stand up without holding onto anything. This means we really have to batten down the hatches! Keep drinking the water Kelly. I know it must be tough, but it is really important. Keep your chin up. We love you! Aunt Kate, Uncle Jimmy, Molly and Maura

Good Morning Kell -- wow! it looks as though a whole flock of Flamingos have landed in your yard! I think that is neat. Drink, drink, drink----I know you don't want to hear it, but it is the best (and easiest) way in the long run. I know you can do it! Think of it this way==it will be easier to drink a lot than it will be to listen to everyone nagging you to do it, right? Your Halloween cake sounded good (aren't Halloween cakes supposed to crumble and fall apart? Mine always did. but come to think of it, most cakes I bake do the same--LOL) Gotta head for work, and take Kirby to the groomers. He'll look like a different dog by lunchtime. Tell Corey I hope he feels better soon.Love ya bunches, LIL (and Kirby)

So glad to hear that you had a fun Halloween. Dena went as a Japanese Princess and Mara as a bubble bather. They got lots of candy and were very tired by 7:30. Your cake sounds like great fun. I attempted a cake when I was your age and I ended up hiding it in my baby sister's Pamper box in the garbage. I wasn't brave enough for anyone to see that mess! Keep up the good spirits!

The girls got lots of candy, but Becca pooped out around 7 so she came back and helped me hand out candy while Emily and her boyfriend, Luke went around the rest of the neighborhood.

Hey Kell ... Happy Halloween. Chocolate witch hat cake and punch ... what time should I come over! I have been having trouble getting Molly out of bed in the morning, so this morning I told her that I heard on the news that Halloween was cancelled!!! She sat right up in bed and said "Does that mean we can't go trick or treating?"!!! When I told her I was joking, well, she wasn't very happy with me. But I was pretty proud of myself having found a new way to get her up in the morning! Anyway, don't worry about missing out on the trick or treating. It is going to be pretty cold. You're better off staying in your nice warm house handing out the treats! Have a great day and good luck at the doctors. We love you ... Aunt Kate, Uncle Jimmy, Molly and Maura

Hi Kell,

Well, I guess you heard that they didn't want to take my platelets. It seems like your blood type may be changing, and they only want RH negative platelets (I an RH +) at this time. I told your Mom to keep me posted, and as soon as you are able to receive mine, I will get on the schedule to give. Molly is getting all geared up for Halloween. She is going to be a cowgirl again. I don't think the weather is going to be that great, but nothing will stop her from getting that candy!!! We decided not to dress Maura up. We went to a party at Molly's school last Friday, and I painted Maura's face like a cat. She didn't like it very well, so I figured it's not worth the effort. She'll have to wait till next year (although Molly would like her to go trick or treating since Maura can't have the treats it would be all the more for her!) Anyway, keep up the great school work and your spirits. We love you, Aunt Kate, Uncle Jimmy, Molly and Maura

Molly had a great time taking a ride on your new bed! Now she wants one! I had two older brothers growing up, and I always liked to make their lives miserable whenever their girlfriends were around. They would get so mad at me, but I always new that in secret they kinda liked it! I love your lamp and table. You are getting to be quite the artist. I hear you are actually looking forward to homework. Gee, do you think some of that could rub off on Molly????!!!! Keep up your spirits and your great attitude.

They would go great in Jaime's room. Her walls are different colors and she has a black carpet. I am sure you will have fun making all those treats with your mom, they sound really cool. Well, you take care and I hope I get to see you on another walk real soon.

I've been hearing things about purple paint and sponge painting. You better ask them fast if you can help or give them some ideas. Keep up your good work.

Hi Kell -- sorry to hear you are so bored. I have a batch of cards from my friends6th grade class at St. Coleman's for you. but I won't be able to bring it over for awhile. I have been fighting off a cold and sore throat and won't come over until I'm positive I am not contagious. At least you know I have them and it will be something to look forward to. Your Halloween costume sounds cool. You will have to have your mom or dad take a picture and post it on your web site. I usually take Kirby over to my mom's house for Halloween. she likes to give out treats, but it is too much for her to keep going to the door. Maybe I'll dress Kirby up like the dogs in Aunt Karen's email (lol) Take care sweetheart. Love you bunches. Lil and Kirby

Hi Kelly, I know it's no fun, but I am glad to hear that you had a boring day because the excitement is not too good at this point. I like your costume idea. Mara is going to be a bubble bather and Dena is going to be an Asian Princess. There is a family fun magazine website that has great Halloween ideas for spooky treats too. Mara wants to carve her pumpkin too. We went to the farm on Saturday - it was cold and wet, but no big crowds. We had to stop and buy new clothes for Wally cause he fell in the mud in the corn maze. It was not pretty!

Hey Kel! I'm sorry to hear that you are so bored. Sounds like the halloween festivites are keeping you busy! Your halloween costume sounds cool (better than my lady bug costume). When you get a chance, post a picture of your new wig on the internet -- I can't wait to see it! Talk to you soon!

Hi Kelly and all, Hope the antibiotics are working! Don't worry about the medicine effects...you are beautiful and we are happy that this medicine is "fixing" you. You are going to be prettier than ever the next time we get to see you. Maybe you and your Mom can plan a Glamour Shots photo when you are feeling better! Dena, Mara and I were thinking of doing it next month at a fundraiser for the Washington Moose Club.

Hi Kell - Am sooo glad that your Dr's apt. went as well as it did today. It is absolutely amazing how you can keep everything straight -- all those meds and such. I saw your music teacher the other day at Calvary Lutheran Church in Murrysville. He said to tell you (and your mom) hi for him. He keeps up with your progress via the journal. Enjoy your day tomorrow. I think sleeping in is a wonderful idea. Wish I could do the same. Love ya bunches, Lil (and Kirby).

Let's hope that they will get you on the right medicine soon and you will be able to come home before you know it. I'll be anxious to know what you think about school. Your mom certainly had an arm full of big and heavy books when I saw her the other day. Funny, I can't remember carrying books that heavy! (lol) Take care sweetheart .

You know who else would get a kick out of it-- Joe. Maybe I will have to send it to him. Glad to hear you're not feeling sick. Hopefully it won't be too long there. Did your mom tell you Mrs. Magnotta asked about you last night and said she was going to try to find the tape of your play so if she does I'll give it to ya. Love ya lots, Aunt JoJo

Hi Kelly,

So sorry to hear about this set-back, but from the sound of things, it is a small one. Nevertheless, I'm sure you are really "bummed out". Well, Molly had her picture taken at school like I told you, but they couldn't get one of Maura. It seems that all she wanted to do was scream, so it looks like we will have to try to get one taken elsewhere! Keep your chin up, and we will keep praying that this set-back is short lived. We love you! Aunt Kate, Uncle Jimmy, Molly & Maura

Hi Kelly,

Boy, how come I get MOODY and I don't have to go through half of the stuff you have gone through! You are one patient chick-a-dee! Anyway, both Molly and Maura had pictures taken today (Molly at school and Maura at daycare). They were both wearing the same outfits (at Molly's insistance), so, I hope they turn out, we will send you one via e-mail. I worked up at Molly's school today. Boy, do those 1st graders give you a run for the money. It's only 8:00, but I am more than ready to call it a night. Uncle Jimmy is heading to South Bend, Indiana, tomorrow for the Pitt-Notre Dame game. It is about a 7 hour drive. I really hope Pitt wins, because if they don't, then Uncle Jimmy will surely be MOODY come Sunday. And then, of course, if you top that off with a Seelers loss, well, need I say more!!! Anyway, we love you and think about you 24/7. God Bless. Hope to be able to see you very soon. Love ... Aunt Kate, Uncle Jimmy, Molly and Maura.

Hi Kell. I didn't get a chance to call today so I was checking to see what was happening. That's a real bummer about no sweets!! Hopefully soon you can have something fun. And drinking...ha... I would never be able to do that. I don't even drink enough now. But just remember you gotta do it to get back all your strength and if you can swallow all those pills, I know you can drink drink drink. We're off to camp this weekend at Laurel Hill. We will really be missing you guys. Hopefully next summer we can all go together again lots and lots of times. The girls have been bugging me to visit you but Becca had a runny nose this week so maybe next week if she's not runny anymore we'll be over. Take care and say hello to everyone. Love you guys.

Kell/Mom/Dad/Michael/Corey - what wonderful news. I was working in Atlantic City over the weekend and everytime I tried to sign on to read your journal, the DSL line at the hotel was down. So much for DSL lines, at least those in hotels. Anyway, I was so disappointed that I couldn't keep up with my daily report of your progress. And then when I got home and signed on with the old fashion dial up line (something that always works no matter what) I read that you came home! It made a perfet ending to my Monday. I can't wait to see you, but will let things settle down and give you guys a much needed rest and a little family time to yourselves. I will call your mom and see when it is a good time. You will have such a busy schedule and it will take some time getting into the routine of it all. Bet Puppy and all your "furry" pets were excited to see you (and you them). You will have to let me know how your first day at home went. Hope you rested and just enjoyed being there. I was with my girl friend, Mary, this weekend. She and her office have been donating blood as well as made a sizeable contribution to sponsor me in the Walk last week. They all send you their prayers and best wishes. The evening assignments are calling, so I must get on the road. Take care sweetheart and I'll see you soon. All my love, Lil.

I'm taking Peppy to the groomers today to get her all ready for you. I'm going to tell them to do the works on her. I think she's excited about going because last time I took her you came home too and I think maybe she remembers that. Take care and say hello to your mom and I bet I'll be seeing you sometime this weekend for your last weekend at the hospital.

Hi Kell - what a nice surprise to see you writing your web site. And you are going to be coming home the beginning of the week???? That's the best news I've heard all day. Everyone keeps asking me how you are doing when I go into the schools. How great it will be to tell them the good news. We missed you guys last night at the Walk. It was the first time I was able to actually walk, and really enjoyed it. The fireworks were great. But I'm a kid at heart and love fireworks. I brought my balloon home and tied it to the railing in the livingroom. I don't know what Kirby thought it was, but he wouldn't stop barking at it. I finally had to let it go so he would be quite and I could get to sleep.! I won't be home this weekend. I will be in Atlantic City for that job I do with the Bread Bakers Guild. But I will keep checking the web site via my laptop for news about your coming home. Sleep good tonight and hope all goes well tomorrow. Remember, I love you sweetie.

Mom and Dad have proven to be a good substitute, but it is nothing like hearing it straight from the "horses mouth". So you can't have certain things when you get home ... what can you have???? We will be more than happy to get it for you. In the meantime, keep up the GREAT work, and next time we talk/write, you will be HOME! God bless. We love you!

Kelly,
I am glad you are doing so well and that you can go home soon. You are a very brave little girl. I read your web page everyday. I just have a question for you? Will your web page still be up when you go home so we can still see how you are doing? It has been great watching your progress. Best wishes to you and your family for the rest of your recovery.

Hi Kelly,

What a trooper you are and have been throughout this whole ordeal! We are so very, very proud of you! I have trouble swallowing 1 asprin. God bless you for being so brave. I know your Mom is worried about having to learn how to take blood pressure and draw blood, but she is a trooper too, and we know she will be a great nurse! We are so happy to hear that you may be able to come home. We are all rooting for you to be able to do that. We love you ... Aunt Kate, Uncle Jimmy, Molly & Maura

Hey Kell. It was lonely on the walk tonight without you guys. We all missed you, but it was alot better weather-wise than last year. We are all praying that you get to come home this weekend, that would be fantastic. That's awful about the pill-taking. You know me, I would never be able to do that. I'm very proud of you. Keep it up!! Love you guys, Aunt JoJo

We're walking in your honor tomorrow night at the Light the Night Walk for the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society. Because of your pretty face adorning the wall of my office and the newsletters at Alcoa, we've collected more money than ever this year! Lots of people bought luminaria in your honor, too, so there will be a whole line of light with your name on it! You are such an inspiration. I am VERY proud of you! Hope to see you soon. Ryan will be home next weekend (the 11th). Maybe you'll be home by then too! Did you hear Lisa's Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle float won first place at Homecoming?! I took lots of pictures. You'll love it. See you soon. I love you! Aunt Karen

(I will keep it a surprise to them though for now.) Emi enjoyed talking to you guys on the phone today and just asked me tonight when she would get to visit you. Mr. Crabs is doing well and enjoying his new shell. He is anxious for you to come home. Well we will keep praying that you get to come home really soon. Love you and we are always thinking of you!!!

We went to a school dinner on Saturday and the people that sat at our table live in your neighborhood. Everyone wants you to get better quick and go home!! We got to see our new cousin on Sunday.

Hi Kell,

It's Aunt Kate. Molly wanted to let you know that she went to the Children's Mass at St. John Neuman (at my sister's church) and said lots of prayers for you! I was on some medication recently, so I haven't been able to give platelets. But, I think I will give the blood bank a call today to see if enough time has passed since I was on the medicine, and if so, I will schedule another donation. I'll keep you posted on that. I see that one of your friends has a new Sponge Bob dvd. Sounds like something I wouldn't mind watching myself. I dropped a jar of baby food on Maura's head last night; she screamed, I screamed, Molly got scared. Uncle Jimmy was the only calm one. Thankfully, all she got was a goose egg! Get yourself better, and I'll be in touch soon! Love Aunt Kate, Uncle Jimmy, Molly and Maura

Hey Kell. It's Aunt JoJo again. It's midnight and I was checking on the girls and all 3 crabs are in Becca's room tonight and I was peeking in on them and Mr. Crab's looked upside down so I thought I'd turn him over and when I did he was gone! He moved into Becca's old shell. So he is purple now and I think he's okay. Ooh it is sooo weird. I wish you were here. This is too much for me to handle especially all by myself. Won't the girls be so surprised in the morning and Becca will be soo happy he moved into hers. I can't wait to call you in the morning. Love ya, Aunt JoJo

Hi Kelly and all, Dena is a new cousin too. She wants to trade with you though... it is the 5th boy cousin so far. His name is Jared and he was 9 lbs 13 oz! He was born on the 25th so it would be an even trade. Are you interested? Dena and Mara are the only girls! We can't believe you have homework. We thought that you would surely get out of that! We are so so happy that you are eating and taking walks and the OR stuff is behind you now! What GREAT news! You are the bravest girl we know! We think of you everyday.

Hi Kell - my computer at home has been down for most of the week, so I haven't been able to keep up with the journal entries as much as I like. Was sooooo glad to read that everything went well in OR today. And that they are talking about when you might be able to come home? How exciting! And you've started school, too. Wow! That's a sure sign you are getting better. I haven't been up to your building lately, but the next time I am I will stop in to see Mrs. Echard and your teacher. Congrats on becoming a "cousin" again. Bet you can't wait to see her. Remember, I love you sweetheart. Talk to you soon. Lil

I finally got your website from Kim and was so excited to see how you have been doing. I was glad to hear that things went well in the operating room today. I will continue to pray that your results are the best! Lindsey and I stopped over to your house the other day to drop off groceries and Corey looked great. I want to send you something also, so if there is anything special you would like, please let me know. Tell your Mom I said hello and maybe I'll see her next time she comes home. Before you know it you'll be home too! Well enjoy your movie tonight and I'll be sure to write again now that I have your website!

Hi Kelly. Today some of the ladies in our neighborhood had a little goodbye get together for me and they were all asking about you and said to tell you that they said hello. One was Betty across the street from you, and Matthew's mom, Rhonda, Sue Ellen who used to do the puppet shows, and Ian's mom, Sherry. There were a few others, but I am not sure if you would know who they were. Every was so happy to hear how well you are doing and Betty mentioned how many people are praying for you.

Kelly,

I don't even need to ask "how are you". From the sound of your journal entry, things are going great! Isn't it great to have another girl cousin. Molly thinks it is pretty special that there are only four of you on the Wulf side. You know Kell, you have a pretty big image to keep up for those little ones. I know that Molly idolizes you, and I'm sure that when Maura and Ashleigh start to get bigger and understand, they will too! I know you can't wait to meet Ashleigh (we can't either). So, keep up your spirits and before you know it, you will be holding that little baby. God bless you. We love you very, very much! Aunt Kate, Uncle Jimmy, Molly and Maura

Hi Kell - How exciting to read that you had a pretty good day today. Keep up those walks around the hall. It's good for you and will help you recover better. We (my mom and I) have been busy looking for a new puppy for my mom. It is kinda exciting, although we can't get a young puppy--it would be too much for her to train. As long as it is little (5lbs or under), and "potty trained" we should be ok. If we get one I will send you a picture via email. I am anxious to visit. Perhaps this weekend sometime, if your counts stay high enough. Until next time, remember, I love you sweetheart, Lil (& Kirby).

Hi Again, Thanks for the phone call. We wish that there was something that we could do for you...did Kelly think of anything? Do you know how to embroidery or cross stitch? Dena is learning how and she seems to like it. We could get you something to work on. We think about you every day. Mara and Emily went for a walk to Elmer's today at school. They took out a snake, a gunea pig, a bunny and a ferret. They also got a coupon for 2 free fish and to think that Mara was crying that she didn't want to go! :-( Mara said that Emily's shoe fell off on the way there.

Hi Kelly,

We are always thinking of you and praying for you. You are a trooper. Stay strong and if you need some extra help, try praying to St. Anthony - tell him Francie told you to ask. For some reason he likes me. By the way, I'm sure your Dad may have told you, we live right around the corner from you on Burke. I have 3 kids, Jeff(10), Mark(8) and Marcie(6). Marcie plays soccer with your friend Rachel. God bless. Francie, Tim, and kids.

I just recently found out that this website was up and running; what a great idea!! Hope you're able to make it to the play room soon! God's greatest blessings on you and your family.

Hi Kelly. Sorry to hear you weren't feeling so well today. Hopefully tomorrow will be better. WOW! Spongebob came to visit. Wait till I tell the girls. Emily said her own prayer tonight for you to get better soon so you can play with her. She can't wait for you to come home and neither can the rest of us. We love you!!!!!

Hi Kell -- It is so good to read your counts are improving. I sure hope you get to go to the playroom tomorrow. I went shopping tonight and saw all this stuff for making arts and crafts. but I wasn't sure what you had or what you might like. So I didn't buy anything TONIGHT. Let me know what you would like to have and I'll go back to the store. You know me, any excuse to shop (ha, ha). If I were a betting person I would bet that your stomach sickness is because of the reduced morphene. I remember when I was on it for a long time when I broke my ankle how terribly sick I was when they took me off! I'm betting that is it the same with you, too! I wanted to let you and your mom know that all of the people at the newspaper send you their prayers and good wishes. A lot of them have contributed to sponsor me in the Light the Night Walk. Have a good day tomorrow sweetheart. Love you bunches, Lil (and, of course, Kirby).

She is so excited about taking Mr. Crabs. She can't wait to tell Mrs. Shaeffer that he's yours. Hope he enjoys it. Tell your mom hello. I love ya. Aunt JoJo

Good Morning Kelly,
I hope you are feeling good this morning. Were you able to watch the movie last night? I work with your wild and crazy Aunt Karen at Alcoa. Remember, when you come in I'm going to show you where she hides all of her candy. I went to the toy store last night and I think I found something that she said that you might like to do. I will give it to her today and I know she will pass it on to your Dad. Take care and remember that you have so many people praying for you and your family.

Hey Kell,
I just found out about this or we would've e-mailed sooner. I like you're web page much better than the Slinky's. I can't wait til you come home. You should see all the fish in the pond now. The water has been so green all summer with algea and when i cleaned it i found quite a few babies. Some are black just starting to turn orange (I have no idea how they get from black to orange but I guess starting out black helps them hide and not get eaten). There are also a few white ones with a little orange. I didn't get any frogs this year.
It's 11:45 and Cara is still up and says hello. Hope you have a great day. Tell your Mom hi for me.

Hi Kelly. I wanted to let you and your folks know that we will be moving to Virginia Beach on Sept. 30th, but will be following your recovery every day through this website. Each day I read about your condition before I go to bed and that lets me know exactly what to pray for. Be strong in the Lord and in the power of his might. When we are weak, and look to Him, He gives us His strength. We love you and will continue to pray.

We will be praying this for you this week.

Hi Kell -- hope you are feeling better today and that your temperature is back to normal. My sister and her husband were here this weekend from Columbus, Ohio. They said to tell you they said "hi" and send their love and prayers. We were going to sign on to the site via my laptop, but I couldn't get a connection at my mon's house. Not sure why, but I kept getting bumped off-line. So, I had to wait until I came home to check up on your progress. I am glad to see your counts are improving. That's a good sign. Hope you have a good night tonight and better day tomorrow. Remember, I love your sweetie and send you a great big kiss and hug. Kirby says "hi", or at least that's what I think he is saying (lol). Love ya, Lill

Hi Kelly, I hope you're having a good day. It must have been really neat to meet a lady race car driver. Are you interested in racing?? On Thursday night a friend of mine and Mr. Belardi's (Barbare Platz...your brother Mike might remember her from Moss Side Middle) was in a walk to raise money to fight cancer. She carried a sign with your name on it along with her sister and some other people. Miss Platz's sister had a bone marrow transplant several years ago and she is doing very well. The walk was up in Erie. I hope that was okay with you and your family. Mr. Belardi had told Miss Platz about you. Hope you get to see a good movie tonight and have a great day tomorrow. Keep smiling sweety, there is so many of us who have you in our hearts and prayers. Love, Miss Samson

My friend Reta Diethorn told me of Kelly's transplant. She is simply amazing! Reading the updates are so encouraging! Reta has kept me informed of Kelly's progress from the beginning. My son was diagnosed with ALL in Feb. 2000 and also goes to Children's! This is when I first found out about Kelly. She was doing well then which gave us such encouragement when we were just beginning the process; I have such faith that she will continue to do well!!

Hi Kelly,

Just got back from the blood bank, so your platelet order is ready to go! I appreciate having the opportunity to get a break from work, and I actually watched a movie while they were taking the blood! Anyway, they told me my iron was really good 13.somthing, so all those beans and brocolli paid off. Sounds like you are being really nice to your nurses. I'm sure they appreciate having such a wonderful patient to care for. Keep up your spirit and your great big smile! We love you ... Aunt Kate, Uncle Jimmy, Molly and Maura

Hi Kelly,
I am sooo happy to hear your surgery went well and you are in good spirits. I saw the picture you made for your Dad's birthday, you look beautiful. It's been so long since I've seen you in person, I can hardly believe what a lovely young lady you have grown into. I would love it if you and Aunt JoJo would come to Duquesne Law School and we could have pizza together again. Maybe may granddaugher Emily (did you know that I am a Granny now?!?!?) could come and have some pizza too. I think you would enjoy meeting Emily, she is almost 17 months now and lots of fun to watch. I am ready to give platelets whenever you need them. Be careful--my platelets maybe full of "SPARKS" (just kidding)!!!!!!!!! Keep smiling.
Love

Hi Kel. Checking your progress on the web site before I leave for the evening assignments. I am so happy to hear that the surgery went well. Hey, how cool was that to have a visit from A. Pittman, the lady Nascar Dirver. I met her one time at an event we had at the Hilton--she was a guest of Chip Ganassi (another driver, male). Can't wait to see your autographed photo. Enjoy the movie tonight.....I just watched it again the other night! Talked to Aunt Mary Jo last night and understand she was going to visit today. I'll try and talk to her later for a report. Take care sweetheart, and remember I love you very much. Kirby sends puppy (well, not exactly puppy) hugs & kisses, too!

Hey Kelly, I just got back from the blood bank, but they have a new system where they only use one arm instead of two that wasn't working with my veins. So, instead of using the new system, they are going to have to go back to using the "old" 2 arm system because my veins are small. Imagine that, such a big person with such little veins. Anyway, I am rescheduled to give platelets on Friday at Noon. So for now I'll keep eating the brocolli, beans and rice so that my iron is good and strong! Also, Aunt Patty is at your house taking care of Peppi and the boys, so Molly and Uncle Jimmy are feeding KC which Molly enjoys very much! Your mom says you were falling asleep in the chair reading a magazine just now, so try to get some rest. Always know that we are thinking about you and love you very, very much ... God bless!

Well, who knows what will be going through your head with that chocolate oxygen! I have an appointment for tomorrow (Wednesday) at 12:45 to donate platelets for you. I'll make sure to eat lots of iron-rich foods today so that the platelets will be extra strong for you! I'll look forward to hearing from your mom and dad as to how you did with the surgery. Also, your picture for your Dad is ABSOLUTELY beautiful. You look GREAT! Keep you your good spirits ... love Aunt Kate, Uncle Jimmy, Molly and Maura

I better get moving - you're doing so well you might get home before I find them!! Love you VERY much and will be praying that everything goes well and easy today for you. Chocolate oxygen???

Hi Kelly,
I've continued to keep track of what's happening with you through your website, and of course we are still praying for you each and every day for a speedy and full recovery. We're also thinking alot about your Mom, Dad, Michael and Corey. You are blessed to be a part of such a great family. I know that brothers can be a pain in the neck cause I have two of them myself. When I was a little girl your age my brothers, Kevin and Michael, used to take ropes and hang my baby dolls from the beams in the cellar. What torture! But I've found many ways to get back at them. I wouldn't trade my brothers for the world, though, just like I'm sure you wouldn't trade yours. Rest up, keep your spirits up,Kelly. It will all be worth it.

Hi Kell - checking your web site before going to bed. Sorry you were not feeling so well today. I think of you all the time and am so proud of you. Believe me you are one brave little girl and are handling all of this much better than I would. Keep thinking those positive thoughts and before you know it, this will all be over. Did I tell you about the baby raccoon that comes to my pond? It sits out there and tries to fish from the waterfall. It is so cute. I wanted to get a picture, but haven't been able to, yet. I'll keep checking and maybe one of these times I can get a pic. If I do, I'll email it to you. Love you bunches, Lil (and Kirby, of course).

Hi Kelly,
I am kind of like your "aunt-in-law." Your Aunt Kate is my sister and we've met at family parties at Molly's house. I've been following your progress every day through Kate and now I am so delighted to be able to actually get on your web page to hear straight "from the horses mouth" how you're doing. Since I'm not working right now I've been going to mass each morning, and every morning all the people at Church (St. John Neumann in the North Hills)are praying for your healing through these treatments. I'm looking forward to seeing you at another family party soon. You are Molly's hero -- you know that don't you? Keep your spirits up Kelly!

I love Lil's idea of making your site her home page, so I am going to be a copy cat and do the same. Just wanted to send my love and tell you that Molly has been asking about you and praying for you. I wanted to come say hello over the weekend, but I recently got over having sneezing attacks due to my allergies so I thought it best to stay home and just say "hello" via cyber space! God bless you.

Kelly is one of my piano students, taking some time off for now. She is super sweet, always with a smile on her face. I was so happy to see her at the Park Swim Club fundraiser.

Note that on Friday, 9 AUG 02, I will be playing an evening of original piano compositions (starts 7:30 pm) in Kelly's honor at Calvary Lutheran Church (4725 Old Wm Penn Hwy, Murrysville). All contributions will go toward Kelly's medical fund. Addn'l parking at PNC Bank's lower lot (by Rt. 22 - enter School road) and also at the Old Wm Penn Prof Bldg (diagonal across Old Wm Penn/School Rd from the church).

I think about you always, Kelly!
