Happy Winter everyone! Merry Christmas too, a little early! Kayleigh has asked me to publish the most recent story she's written for all of you to read. I think that through reading her story, you'll soon learn the one thing that's at the top of her Christmas wish list, aside from getting well. This story is her gift to all of you! :)
Christmas Puppy
by Kayleigh Crabtree
12/18/2010
"I want a puppy," said Kaitlyn politely. But her father had always yelled, "NO, NO MORE dogs!!!" "So I followed his rules, I still want a puppy bad, but how am I going to get it?" thought Kaitlyn.
Christmas was very soon and Kaitlyn still needed a puppy. She had a good plan but had to talk to her mom first. She ran to her mom's room, shared her plan, and her mom loved the plan.
The next day had come quickly. It was soon time for Kaitlyn's plan. "Mom, behind the couch?" asked Kaitlyn. "Check!" exclaimed mom. "Kaitlyn, behind the door with the puppy?" asked her mom. "CHECK!" Kaitlyn answered excitedly.
Her dad walked in. They jumped out! Kaitlyn ran with the dog to her father's face and let the puppy lick him. He LOVED it and Kaitlyn got to keep her dog!!!
Unfortunately, this one gift may not be fulfilled at this time. She's still trying to convince everyone involved. I'm still hoping we may ALL have a little Christmas surprise. :)
Just so you know, Kayleigh has been doing remarkably well since her stay in ICU a week and half ago. She's had no other seizures that we've observed and is happy as can be. :) Her next treatment, the first in the next phase, will be this Thursday. Please continue to keep her in your positive thoughts and prayers. She will begin a new chemotherapy, Ara-C, that she had only once in the very beginning when first diagnosed. This will be done through another lumbar puncture. We're really hoping she has no or very little side effects, especially with Christmas so near.
