Ashleigh "Monkey" Marie Kieliszewski
July 12, 2001 - March 29, 2006
Ashleigh started limping April 28, 2004. After many visits to the doctor, Ashleigh was diagnosed with Stage IV, high risk Neuroblastoma June 7, 2004, one month before her third birthday. After 6 rounds of chemo, Ashleigh was NED (No Evidence of Disease) in November 2004. She received a stem cell transplant November 27, 2004. On December 8, 2004 she was admitted to PICU with complications from her transplant. With a miraculous recovery, Ashleigh was discharged home January 21, 2005. After a wonderful 8 months, Ashleigh relapsed with Neuroblastoma September 7, 2005. On March 29, 2006, 21 months since her diagnosis, our beautiful angel on earth passed away at home and became the most beautiful angel in heaven.
We miss you so much, in so many ways,
But we'll be together again in heaven one day.
We love you Monkey!

Journal
Monday, December 8, 2008 12:36 AM CST It’s that time of year......the Holiday Season. Though such an exciting time of the year for the boys, especially Ryan, it’s such a difficult time for Jeff and I. We’ve started some new traditions at our house for the holidays...like Elf on the Shelf and getting real Christmas trees instead of the fake one we always put out that Ashleigh loved putting together, but always thinking...Ashleigh would have loved this. I’m sure Ashleigh is getting some good laughs at our Christmas tree mishaps the past two years. Last year our tree lost all of it needles so fast that the Christmas ornaments were falling off it daily until it ended up looking like the Charlie Brown Christmas tree and Jeff and I were up till about Midnight the day before Christmas putting up a new tree and then this year our tree decided to fall over out of the blue and we once again were decorating the tree for the second time, of course a few ornaments less since many off them broke when the tree did a header to the floor. All new holiday memories but we definitely treasure the past memories with Ashleigh and her love of Christmas time and spending time with her family. I had a difficult time going through Ashleigh’s pictures for her December Memory Share....pictures of her from her last Christmas before cancer entered our lives and she was healthy, happy, and still with us. Little did we know that 6 months later Ashleigh’s and our world would be turned upside down with Ashleigh’s diagnosis of Stage IV Neuroblastoma. A reminder to cherish time with family and friends and remember those loved ones that aren’t with us this holiday time. Though so easy to get caught up in the stress that can sometimes come with the Holidays, remember how important it is to embrace what we do have with the ones we love.
Wishing everyone peace, joy, and love this Christmas and with the New Year!
