I'm sorry that to hear Kevin has caught a bug, hopefully it won't last too long so he can get back to doing all the things teenage boys should be doing!

Great update Lisa! I have to admit its been a long time since i've checked in on my caringbridge "favorites". What a wonderful vacation getaway. We also did a beach vacation (FL) earlier in August. Luckily we were there the week before the hurricane/storms came rolling through FL. It was wonderful. Now I know where your boys got their great smiles. Life is pretty great these days, isn't it!! Happy for you.

Yeah... when you hear the doctors voice on the other end of the phone call... it's a *skip a beat* kind of moment... SCARY!!! I prefer the "if you don't hear from me... everything is okay" kind of doctor. I am glad things are going well!! I wanted to pop by and wish you a VERY blessed summer!!

It was good to see you at the party. It is nice to see the picture of the Candlelighters tree, I would like to go next year (Rachel has a ribbon on it.) I know what you mean about the "good" cancer. There is nothing good about it. Hope you get some answers from the immunologist (by which I mean, things that can be easily solved!)

Hi Lisa, It seems like forever since I have visted Kevin's page! Sounds like he's having a regular teenage summer...but I'd be happy to come remove the wheels from his skateboard if you want...I hate those things. But from the looks of the Volcom t-shirt, he's probably pretty into skateboarding! :)
I'll cross my fingers and toes that the bruises are just skateboard effects. Shoot I get bruised just looking at one of those things. Thank HEAVENS my kids don't own one (its on my NO WAY list. lol)
Take care, we'll keep you in our thoughts and prayers.

I don't only think that shin bruises are a boy thing, but both Josh (ALL patient) and his 3 year old sister Morgan both look like they have to kneel on stones for punishment or something. Bruising is something that will always worry parents, especially when they have had cancer kids, but it's nice to hear that they have come by these bruises the "normal" kid way. Prayers from Canada.

I think our OT kids should sit on a soft comfy bean bag chair and gently rolllllll in and out of it and do nothing else but lounge in the softness of the little white thingies....just to avoid any chance of getting a stinkin bruise and cauing their Mom's undue stress and worry!
Nahhhhhhh, we'd be worrying their hemoglobin was low...aghhhhhhhh

Thank you for your wonderful message! :) I truly appreciate it! :)
Thank you for sharing the information about the National Bone Marrow Donor program!
It is so wonderful to read that Brian and Kevin are both doing well! I know how hard it is to have one child with cancer! I cannot even begin to imagine how hard it would be to have two children who have ventured down the unwanted road of childhood cancer! I am so glad that all is well now and I hope it continues that way forever! :)
Wishing you and your family the very best and hoping you all have a fantastic week!
Take care and best wishes! :)

So glad to read your updates on Kevin and Brian . . . I know I've said it before, but those boys are touchstones for so many. Thanks for the info on the bone marrow registry. I somehow thought that by being HLA tested for Clare that we were on the registry, but I don't think that is true. If I don't make it to a drive that friends of Darlene Melkonian (Christopher's mom) are holding on March 4, we'll do it online.
Best to everyone,

Many thoughts and prayers are heading your way...glad his counts were well and I guess when treatment is over, the *stuff* still lingers with appointments doesn't it!?

I'm not sure that I've told you lately how glad I am to have found you and even happier that you still update. Kyle is battling relapse and is almost done (scaring the pants off of me) but it's interesting to read the post effects of EVERYTHING! You give me hope and Kevin truly inspires me...! He keeps me hoping for the future...and I need that more than anything right now! Heck, I'd take a shorter than most son as long as we kick cancers butt!!!
Many prayers and thanks to you!

What a GREAT idea with the registry. I registerd at the Light The Night Walk in Denver a few months ago, it was *free* then, but I am going to pass your information on to Kyle's page...everyone should be on the list!!!
Now about that darn strep and making mom worry...I'll send up an extra little prayer today! I guess it just confirms to me that the *worrying* never ends...grrrr!!!

Lisa, what a blessed Thanksgiving. Remember back to days and nights of many prayers for your boys, praising God that you have arrived at this place where you can look back and see all that God did. We are doing our bone density scans next week, praying for some increased bone mass. We have endocrine next week, but Andrew has grown this year (finally) so that is a good sign.

Kevin and Lisa, Sorry Kevin has been so sick and hope he's back to :normal" real soon.
Thanks for checking in on Leah. I agree about the thyroid. At first I was so bummed, but know it could be something so much worse. She's adjusting fine to the mediicne. She's always been a great medicine taker.
Loved the Niagara Falls pictures. We've always wanted to take our family there. I've been there a couple of times in high school.

Camden, AL - Saturday, August 19, 2006 2:33 PM CDT
Lisa,
I check in a lot, but don't post much. I can imagine how time must be passing as you wait for Monday's counts. We're all hanging in there with you, trying to remember that in the "normal" world, there are viruses that knock counts down, and that most of the time, doctors are right, and the virus is to blame. I know, though, that once you've been told that and had it not be true, it always sounds a little hollow. I'm glad Kevin is feeling pretty well, and hoping he's just another tired out teen-ager.
Thinking of you all,

Dear Lisa,
It has been such a long time since I last checked up on Kevin... I can't believe so much time has gone by and that he turned 13!! Happy Birthday, Kevin!
I want you to know that I will be praying that Kevin's counts improve and that this is just a small bump in the road. I'm sorry that you have to worry like this till Monday. I'll be checking up soon.
Sending lots of love and positive thoughts, Ursula

my oh my....I can pretty much picture dear ole Mom trying to smile as she heard all the counts....trying to be perky and upbeat....but underneath worrying and trying not to freak.
Lisa, it's just a blip...his marrow is still recovering from the all the chemo it has had over the past years.
Keep smiling....keep trying not to freak....I can't tell you not to worry because if you are at all like me, the worrying part NEVER goes away!
I will say a prayer for Kevin's counts to all improve and for some magic nerve strength for Mom!

Hi
I was surprised to hear you have 2 leukemia kids. Isn't that really rare? I heard that AML does have family link (they think its environmental) but ALL didn't.
So glad to hear things are settling down. I know all about the post traumatic stress syndrome. I was a rock over the last 4 years of treatment for Davis, but I've noticed myself slowly falling apart over small stuff now.
They say 3 1/2 years of actual treatment, than about 3 years of wait watch and see and no treatment, than add the other 2 years to make 5 years out of treatment... that leaves 8 1/2 years before you can be considered "cured". So my 11 year old is now 16 and still in the wait watch and see mode.
No one will ever understand the added stress that parents with teens and preteens with chronic illness go thru. Its that added puberty thing on top of the cancer thing.
Than when they are doing "normal" stuff.. its hard for them to go anywhere near the "not normal" stuff. Davis didn't want to take ANY pills (not even tylenol or vitamins) because it reminded him of HAVING to take so many pills. He fights me to go to ANY doctors... too much of a reminder of HAVING to go to the doctors.
Davis lost 30 lbs and grew 6 inches the first 6 months after chemo ended. It felt so good to watch him grow!
God Bless

I am so sorry that Kevin is not feeling well,,,, and I can imagine where your mind may be going. I will be thinking of him wishing that it will be nothing but just a active boy life thing.

Hey Kevin,
I wanted to say hello and that I thought about you over the weekend......I went to the Black Eyed Peas concert with the Pussy Cat Dolls. The Pussy Cat Dolls are (hands down) hotter than Hooters girls! Fergie was pretty awesome in person and they played all their good songs....especially...MY HUMPS!!! They played it second to last and I thought of you immediately that time we were singing the words when you were in 567. Also, I might add, the concert was in the pouring rain at Merriweather, where I stood with my friends for 6 hours in torrential downpour on the lawn in the front row. I wasn't leaving until I heard 'My Humps' though....such dedication. Anyway, I hope everything is going well for you, school, friends, family, etc. I think about you and your family often and always pray that everyone is healthy and doing well.

So glad to hear everything is going okay. Sounds like your mom just needed a few more gray hairs to add to her collection already, regarding the incorrect platelet count. She needs to save some normal colored hair to be replaced by gray when you start driving...right? I'm sure you are enjoying only monthly clinic visits now. And soon, no more Bactrim, etc. Keep up the good work.

I guess no one can really understand that heart-stopping, gut-wrenching, lung-crushing feeling a Mom of a child recently OT gets when they oh so casually BOTCH a blood test.....GEEZ! Unfortunately, I understand!
I'm glad the 2nd test result allowed for the ticker to start ticking again, the tummy to unclench a notch and the lungs to slowly inflate again!
Keep up the good work Kevin and Lisa....stay sane my friend!

Kevin and Family:
My name is Scott and I have a Son named Dean that is battling Leukemia. We are friends of the Vinson's and I saw your your entry on Matthew's site.
Dean was diognosed on 1-19-01 at age 5, came off treatments on 3-18-04 at age 8 and relapsed on 4-8-05 at age 9. He is back in remission and is in week 27 of his 120 week maintenence protocol. We are very encouraged about Dean's prognosis. When he relapsed there were no blast in his blood yet and his BMA on May 17th of 05 showed 0 leukemia cells in his marrow. He handles the treatments well and his marrow is strong in recovering. I know how difficult dealing with one ill child is. I can only imagine how it must be dealing with two. I am so glad things are looking up for you all.
None of us know what God's plans are. We can only put our trust in Him and continue to follow. I want to know if you can add my Son Dean to you prayer list and if your Church has a prayer chain please have them prayer for him. I truely believe that prayers are answered.
Deans caringbridge site is- in/deansdetails. Please take a look at it when you have time.
Take care- Scott

Kevin and family,
Wow . . . eight years. I "met" Lisa right after you were diagnosed! And though I've never seen you all face to face, I feel like I know you and have walked with you through this whole journey. You're right, there are so many mixed emotions. We used to celebrate both Katie's off-treatment anniversary (for obvious reasons) but also her dx anniversary--because that was the day she started getting better. And she used to celebrate that she'd "made it through" another year. Kev, you've certainly "made it through" with flying colors! We're all so proud of you! Cheers for the whole family!
Love,

I'm thinking about you now probably wizzing down a mountain on a snowboard, wearing a helmet of course!! I'm so glad you are 'back to normal' at school and in your daily life. Your mom needs to write a book, "cancer for dummies" (not that I think anyone is dumb!) and she can tell everyone how to survive cancer treatment from long clinic stays to those oh-so-comfortable pull out chairs in the hospital rooms! Take care.

Hi Lisa ~
Love the "head in the sand" analogy - I can totally relate! I was surprised at how easy it was to "leave it all behind" once Chad finshed tx also. Life is way too short not to embrace every single normal minute! Happy that you're doing it full force and with both arms! :0) Old habits do die hard though - I told Chad I had to emla him for his 3 mos. check up last week and as I waited for him to stick out an arm, he automatically lifted up his shirt to expose his chest.....uh.....it's been 2 yrs. since his port was removed.........we both laughed out loud!!
Also, in English last week his class had to write about an event that "changed their lives forever" and unlike the other kids in his class, Chad had no problem writing pages and pages about you-know-what! Weirdly, much of his story focused on how much he hated walking around the hospital while attached to the IV pole...........one aspect of tx we had never really talked much about.........weird, huh? It'll be interesting to hear what our boys remember years and years from now.........you know - when they're "our age" - HA!
Okay, I've rambled long enough! I am just so so so so happy for Kevin and your whole family!! :0)
Love ya,

Happy blessed New Year! Everything sounds wonderful. Ready for some "normal"? (This is killing me to say since I am a die-hard Philadelphia fan as opposed to "fair weather")But, I was glad the Redskins won. At first, I was hoping for a "spoiler" but was happy your "beloved" team gets to move on. Wild card better than being no card.

Hi Kevin,
It's 2:15am and we are sitting around the nurses station talking about you. Good things of course. We miss seeing you in 67 and especially singing "lady lumps" I told Dr. Weil about that tonight before she left. Just thought I'd let you know that I officially put in my order for Maxim and will be receiving my first copy in a month. I'll save my issues for the teenage boy population when they are admitted. Don't forget to invite us to your "end of treatment" party that you're not having. Glad you're home and I hope you got your IPOD.

I never got a chance to thank you for all your support and words of encouragement regarding Alexia's case. I am so happy to hear that the reverse of Kevin's ostonomy went well earlier this month. We've also spent almost an entire month in the PICU and hopefully tomorrow they will transfer us out after so many complications.

Hi Lisa -
December 1 is so very close. I can't imagine the anticipation that all of you must feel in waiting for the results of the last tests, and waiting for the pages of the calendar to turn!! I continue to think of you and pray for you all.

Hi Lisa,
I was wondering how Kevin was doing lately and I'm glad I checked. Two weeks is not very long at all. I can't wait until you can say he is OFF TREATMENT!
As I scanned down your guestbook I saw an entry from Pat Lee. A name from the past and one of the many people I "met" when I met you through ALL-KIDS. Such a long time ago. It warms my heart to see Pat's name and remember the strength and love I received from that group. It just warms my heart.
Thinking of you often.

Lisa, 2 more weeks-that's great!! 3 cheers for Kevin!
Try not to worry too much about the platelets-I'll bet the sinus infection has been eating them up. I understand though, how much better it feels when the final tests come in clear!
How did Kevin like Harry Potter? Sarah went last night and she loved it-she has already made plans to see it again when her big brother is home from school:)
Hugs and best wishes-we're thinking of you!

I just came across Kevin's site. I'm so glad the indications now are good. I hope many people will heed your plea to give blood and platelets. Our little Mamie fought Wilm's tumor for 2 years and 1 week, from age 4 to 6. I've never had trouble giving blood, but for some reason we have trouble getting the needles just right for platelets, so I feel very thankful when it works. There was always O positive blood or platelets available when Mamie needed it, and I want that to be true for every child.

Hey to the Tignors! Just checked in on Kevin today. I'm an (old) freind of your moms from high school in Italy. I played guitar too. Your playing reminds me of the countless hours I spent playing by myself and with freinds. Your mom would remeber I think...OK, maybe it wasn't as good as Kevins! Sounds like you are all very excited about getting through the treatments on Dec. 1st. Saw your picture in Bonaire! You all look great. We're praying for you all too! Love, Steven and Leanne Abel

Hey Lisa!
Thats nice of you to walk in honor of all those kids! Ill have to tell Lori that you mentioned Ry too! His grandma is going to be there with Evan! I wish I could walk in it but I just dont think Id have the energy to walk that much, lol! Poor Clare, I didnt know she was all donor cells. Thats a real bummer. A few of my NB freinds died like that this year-complications from transplant-its just not fail but its also not fair for them to suffer. Im so glad Kevin is getting better and healthier. You better not become a stranger though!!! lol! Well enjoy your time away from the office and being normal! (Ill be at the office on Monday)
See ya soon!

Im glad you guys are having some normal days (whatever that is!) It just sucks not being able to see you all at the office all the time (like Ive been there!) Anyways, Enjoy the weekend and have lots of extra NORMAL days for me! hehe!

Sorry to hear about the arm. OUCH! Brianna broke her right arm (or was it the wrist that came first?) last September too and boy was it a pain adjusting for school. Her left wrist (arm?) came a few months later. She kept her casts and wanted to wear them both for April fools day. Unfortunately for her, they had the day off of school. LOL Take care
