Kelly just had her last chemo treatment tonight!! She has one more radiation treatment tomorrow and then she is done with radiation! She is very happy about this. Her radiation therapist asked her what she was going to do at 10:30 every morning now. She has four weeks off all treatment after tomorrow before she begins her next rounds of chemotherapy. This should give her body time to recover and her blood counts to go back up. They are very low right now after six weeks of treatments.
She is doing some testing at her high school to see how her brain has recovered from her surgery. As most of you know, she was having some reading processing problems as a result of surgery. She has definitely improved and is now reading constantly. Thanks to everyone who has sent her book store gift certificates. She has used them all! She will soon begin her home tutoring as soon as her teachers at her high school know if they need to make any modifications for her.
Her doctors have reminded her to stay in touch with her friends - at this point it is very good for her spirits and important to her recovery. So those of you who are friends of Kelly's - please post messages to her here. She loves to read them! It brightens her day to know you are thinking about her.

Hi Kelly!!
Woohoo! We are jumping up and down with excitement for you!! So glad you get a 4 week break from your treatments! We'll be celebrating in Florida tonight for you!
So glad you're able to enjoy reading again! Maybe you could convince Kylie that reading is actually fun! She's just not enjoying it lately! Could be that homework thing getting in the way!! :)
I love your photo and story on the first page of your blog--great for those who haven't been able to read your story yet.
I'm very excited that our new phones have texting capabilities, so we can keep in touch more! Kylie and Ryan will be sending you messages soon!
I'll be counting down the hours today until your last treatment!
Have a GREAT weekend!!
Love,
Aunt Jenny, Uncle Bob, Kylie and Ryan

I am glad you are done with treatment for a while so you can take a break and have fun! Hope everything is well.

Hey Kelly! I'm so glad you are almost done with those treatments!! YAY!
It was wonderful to see you last Tuesday! I really enjoyed talking with you. Like I said, we need to have a get-together sometime!
And to update you about me, I just got new glasses. They are black and made of plastic instead of metal. Hopefully they look nice.
I'll see you soon! Best wishes!!

I hope I see you soon then we can snuggle with that huge teddy bear of yours not to mention that eeyore. I still love him! High school is going great for me I made lots of new friends. To bad your not there! You should go to capo! Well, have fun and get better soon.
Love ya, Becca

Hi Kelly its Becca!
How are you? I miss you. It seems like I haven't seen you in forever. Vacation Bible School wasn't the same with out you. It just wasn't as exciting! I also miss our sleepovers after words. Remember the time that we caught that baby lizard and it bit my hand, or when we held chickens and it pooped on Megan hahah! Good times. I can't wait till we do it again. Then we can snuggle up with that huge teddy bear of yours, not to mention that eeyore. Yep, i still love him! High school is great. to bad your not there. You should go to capo! Hope to see you soon.
Love ya! Becca
