Thanks for hanging out with me this weekend, Katie. I miss you! Here are a couple pictures:

THE SLEEPOVER:




DIVA KATIE IN HER LIMO:

Hi!!

Sorry you had to miss school today! I know you enjoy it! That radiation mask looks crazy!! That stinks that it took so long... at least you were calm about it!! Flash is right it did look like a great start to a halloween costume!!






I hope soccer is still going well for Erika!! I'll have to come see a game some time!! Do you guys know Jennifer Hawley at the Y? She is a friend of mine!





Love you guys!!

Rachel

Here is a photo of Erika at camp. She ran up and gave me at least two hugs every day and I'm pretty sure she was running towards me in this photo, lol!

Here are two more pictures of Katie. I just love how her smile and her energy light up a room. I'm glad you found your fish-hook bracelets Katie - you can see them in this photo. See, Canadians really aren't that bad after all!!!

You are so beautiful Katie!

ONLY 2 1/2 MONTHS UNTIL CAMP HAPPY DAYS!!!!

Make your Comments HEARD using COMMENTYOU.comhope you have a great easter.hopfuly in florida

Ok, you all probably saw the pictures that I posted below of Katie on a trapeze, and that may have gotten you thinking "Was Katie in the circus at some time in her life?"..."Could that explain some things about Katie?"...well, I can confirm that Katie did do a stint in the circus, but it was very brief...she rode elephants in the circus (she's in the middle) and she also mastered the trampolene...ok, I will stop now...I'll save some pictures for another day!!! I thought some of you could use some smiles and laughter right now...laughter is the best medicine...

And if you all think Miss Katie is an amazing courageous girl, you are right...if you didn't have proof enough already, here is a picture of Katie conquering a high ropes course and another of her on a trapeze!!! I have some other funny pictures of Katie, but she would never speak to me again if I posted them on here...so don't worry Katie!!!

I miss you Katie and you are in my thoughts and prayers every day.

Love, Amy

Michele,Katie: I am praying for all of you each day. Maggie says hello Katie. You wouldn't remember, Katie, but you actually played with Maggie a long time ago. I use you as an example when Maggie starts to complain about anything. You obviously have a lot of spunk like your mom.

We have plenty of room at our home in Atlanta if you ever come. Hang in there. You're always in our thoughts and prayers.

HI Katie...I keep updating KIrsten on your progress b/c she is usually in bed by the time I get to the computer. She is thinking of you; wishing we could take away some of the pain. She should be calling you soon, but mom and dad were out tonight, so she was distracted by the tv set and studying. She has a big test tomorrow in science. I am sure she will call tomorrow...keep up the later.

Katie, Fever, yuk, laughing with dad............cool!! Michele, you asked "Where does she get this strength?" The simple truth is her strength comes from the shining example of her family, your own strength, your tenacity and your faith. As always, I, like many others, keep you in my prayers. Phyllis

I'm sorry Katie is feeling so crummy. Hopefully a few days of chemo (assuming you get it on time) will take care of that! I swear it must be something with Walgreen's. They are right on my corner, up until a couple of weeks ago they were the only local pharmacy with a drive through, and they are the only 24 hour pharmacy anywhere near here. So we do get quite a lot of scrips filled there (important stuff that we can schedule goes to Fairhaven.... a much more reliable place). Just last week I dropped off a script for pain meds on my way to the grocery. They said they'd have it in half an hour. I went there 2 hours later, and .... no meds. They claim the script didn't go through the scanner right and said they'd make it up right away. Luckily Kendall didn't need them right then and I could wait. On suggestion, get a relationship with a smaller local pharmacy. We actually had good luck ordering Kendall's chemo online and having it sent to our house. Check with your insurance carrier. Doing it this way saved us a lot in copays. It was fairly easy to set up. One form that doctor faxed in, and the meds would come 7-10 days later (I ordered one cycle in advance each time). After that, I could renew the order with just a few mouse clicks.

Best of luck with the new regimen. It was a great one for Kendall, and many others. I am very hopeful for Katie.

Hello! I'm just stopping by to check in on Katie because Kendall's mom said she could use a few extra thoughts. I hope this new regimen will do the trick for Katie. Thinking of you!

Hi there Katie! Hope that you had an awesome time in Disney World! I enjoyed talking to your mom recently about you and wish that you were in Sumter to babysit my little girls! They are 3 years apart like you and Ericka, and are now 2 and 5- quite a handful! I am praying for you, sweet girl. Love, Lucy Grey

Dear Michele,
Please know you are in my thoughts and prayers every day.....asking God to help the new treatment plans along so that Katie never has to deal with NB again. I don't think that's too much to ask!! I am sending prayers of healing, lots of hugs and an abundance of strength and peace.......angie

Hey Katie Girl,
Boo Hiss on the fever...hope you feel better by tomorrow when you start your new protocol. Rest is one of the BEST medicines and when it is raining out, even better! it is so cosy and snuggly hearing the rain on the roof.
Can't wait until our fishing trip......the boat is ready anytime you are..........they will take you out, where you can catch some pretty big fish. Woo woo!
I took my granddaughter to the Dock Street Theatre today to see Anne of Green Gables.it was soooo good! I think you would really enjoy that book if you haven't already read it......It is about an orphan from Prince Edward Island, Canada.and a older couple, Brother and Sister need help on their farm because of their age so they THINK they are getting a boy and instead get Anne......a WOnderful story!
Isn't that funny that Elizabeth Short adn I met years ago at a Coca conference.....(Childrens Oncology Camps of America)Hi Elizabeth! Hope you recover quickly Katie, love to Erika and Mom and Dad!

Hugs,

Hey Krize family -
It's Beanie. Sounds like you're getting the rain and thunderstorms. We're getting the snow and ice. Katie and Erika would love the Jr. High Hill right now !
Our thoughts and prayers are with you guys with this latest news. Katie will rest and build up her strength and fight this current fever and next challenge like she has all the others. Such a strong little girl you have - she's amazing. I miss you all. Love, Beane.

Katie, I'm sorry to hear you're running a fever. Hopefully your chemo will go well tomorrow (if I have my dates correct) and you will feel a lot better!

By the way, I see that you know "Flash" from Charleston. I met her at a conference in El Paso, Texas and she is so sweet! Very full of energy too! Small world, huh?

Well I think I told you but I'm with the Wolfpack girls at Camp Kemo this summer. Not sure if you're still with the Heartbreakers or if you're moving up to Wolfpack, but either way we'll have a blast! If you're still in Heartbreakers, you're just next door so I can still come visit you! =)

Did you find some cool games at the Gamestop store?

How are things? Today would have been a PERFECT kite flying day!! Well, until it started raining. That wind was something! I went to a birthday party brunch today - it was outside on a patio, girl, you should have seen my hair, I looked like, well I'm not even sure how to describe what I looked like. Wild, I guess is a good term. Good thing I was with people who knew me, otherwise, they might have been afraid. Take care, you are still in my prayers. Phyllis

hey! What's up? Nasty weather but could be worse particularly if colder. I hope you are doing a lot better and that the pain medicine did what it was supposed to do.I'm about to go home.When I left at lunch to come to the office , Debbie said she was going up to read in bed which means nap time.Hopefully , she is awake as I need to clean up my room.It's amazing how my clothes get scattered about rather than hung up.Shoes never seem to make it back into the closet.Oh,well. I hope you and all of your family have a good week. Best regards and wishes , John David

Hi Katie,
You don't know me. I am a friend of Phyllis Shearin's. I just wanted you to know that I am praying for you. You sound like a person I would like to get to know. Disney World is one of my favorite places in the world. What is your favorite thing? Mine is Splash Mountain in the Magic Kingdom and Test Track at Epcot. I don't like the roller coasters very much. Hang in there and never give up. There are lots of prayers going up for you.

Oh! what blessing you are to me. I just love to have fun with you. You are always in my prayers and I know your mom and dad will always make the best decision for you. They love you so very much. When you loose your hair I will donate my grey long curly hair to you. HoW does that sound? I am growing my hair to give it away and I can't think of a better loving person to give it to than you. Eventhough you give mom and dad a fit sometimes. I am just kidding! You do not need salt and pepper hair. How is Erika?

Take care and laugh alot,

Love to all,

I'm so glad Katie had a good time in Disney before all the unpleasantness. On the bright side, Kendall did great on those two meds you mentioned, and didn't really lose his hair (it thinned slightly). The irinotecan is very nasty orally, but we put it in capsules and he swallowed them fast. You may still want to consider doing it as an IV med, but a port would need to be placed. She could still swim with that.

No matter what, we will be praying. I hope it all goes well and she can be on that med for a long time! It hardly affected the counts (slight drops, but came right back with NO GCSF shots!).

I am so sorry to hear about your cancer...........I am so proud of you Katie, you are such a strong girl..........you can do this! I'll give you a call in a few days.....Love YOU! Flash

Hey, the pictures are great. You look like you're having fun. I love the new border. Michele, you are a genius with this webpage nowadays. Glad you didn't have to spend the night in the hospital. Now you know, always pack......
It seems like if something "interesting" can happen during a hospital visit, y'all find it. A fentanyl reaction, man! I'm glad you have a war plan, I just hate that you have to use it. I continue to pray for y'all. Let me know if you need anything. Phyllis

Katie, I'm glad you had a lot of fun at Disney World! The pictures your mom posted were awesome. I've never been to Sea World, but it sounds like I should go! I'd love to splash people on that ride! Haha!

I'm really sad to hear that you have to go through more chemo, but please know that I'm thinking about you. I don't write as often as I should, but I check this page as soon as I get an e-mail from your mom. We have you on our prayer list at church too.

I'm looking at running a marathon with Team in Training (with the Leukemia Society) and might go to San Diego, California. Have you ever been there? I want to race in honor of you!

I'll write more to your mom in an e-mail so this won't take up a whole page of your guestbook! =) Keep smiling and I'll definitely see you at Camp Kemo, if not before.

By the way, will you be with the Wolfpack this year? I'm one of the counselors for them. I was with the Dolphins with you and Erica, and now I moved up. Guess I'm getting old! =)

Dear Katie (and parents) - hi! I know we've never met, but we've been reading about you since our little friend Liam was diagnosed. I'm so sorry to hear about you getting sick again. Our spring break begins next friday and we're driving to Florida, so we thought maybe if you're up for it, we could stop and say hi on our way back to NC. :)

love, Em and Kristen

Dear Michele and Mike,

Whatever decision you make is the "right" decision. It is the decision you make based on all the information available to you and with your hearts totally dedicated to Katie's best interests. Once you make it, the decision is the right one. Please don't beat yourselves up second guessing about any option that you decide against. You only do what you can do and there is no question that you are doing and have done everything with Katie as your first thought.

God love you all,

Michele,

You can't make the "wrong decision". You love Katie and that's enough. Let the Lord guide you and then rest with it.

We're glad Katie had a good time in Disney. We send her our love, thoughts and prayers.

Now, (this coming from a cop) I told you at the INN what I thought of lawyers. You hit the Tahoe (glad your okay) and next thing we'll probably hear is you taking them to court for it being the wrong color and therefore you were attracted to it like a bee to honey..... :c)

Michelle,

There is no wrong decision! The decisions we make as parents of these kids are always correct based on the child and the family at that time. You know this, you've done it before. Once the choice has been made, don't second guess yourself - you can only drive yourself nuts that way. Gather all the facts the way a good lawyer should, let Katie have her input (she's a smart kid -you've raised her right), then decide and stand by it.

I thought about you so much while you were there - just imagining all the fun you were having! I miss all you guys - you always just "made my day" when you came to clinic! I love "Krize stories" - they are guaranteed to bring a smile! Just know how much I think about you all - and always keep you in my prayers!!!!

Glad to hear that Katie arrived home safely and that she had such a great time! We just got our van back last week from a similar crash in a parking lot. I'm sure that you just have so much on your mind and are so distracted from the small stuff. I'm glad that it was in a parking lot and that no one got hurt! We will be praying and praying some more for Katie's surgery tomorrow and for your decision making. Take care and try to get some rest when you can. With love, The Cains

Hi guys! Just wanted to let you know that we are still checking on the girls and keeping you all in our prayers. You are never far from our thoughts. We were so sorry to read the latest news. We will be praying that the biopsy goes smoothly and that your new treatment decisions will be successful and come together easily. We hope that Katie has a great time in Orlando (or Miami!)! Also, we love to read John David's guestbook entries. What a funny guy and good friend he must be! We saw on the list serve that several folks who are "in the know" were answering some of your questions, but if there is anything that you need help researching, just let us know and we will be glad to help. Take care. Susan

Dear Katie -

I have been here many times before but this, I believe, may be my first note to you. I wanted to tell you that I hope you have a wonderful holiday, and thank your mom for her genuine candidness and humor. You hang in there, sweetie, and rock the castle at Disney!

With Love and Prayers,

Janie and her Mom

Katie continues to amaze each of us and so does the entire family. We know that God is watching over you, because I personally always pray for strength for you. And I see that you have it. Strength comes in many crazy forms and my prayer is for strength to withstand ANYTHING that comes your way. May God continue to bless you with His love. Aunt Susie xoxo

HI Katie...Kirsten is sleeping, so I am going to talk for her...she is definitely not happy about you going to Disney without her, but the two of you can compare notes later (since she has been there a few times..thanks to her grandmother). I know she would tell you Happy Heart Day! She was thinking maybe she could take you out on Diamond one day...walk you around, trot you over poles, etc. I will speak with you mom about it.

Take CAre and have fun with Mickey...Kirsten and Mrs. Farley

Good morning! I hope you made it back to school this morning. Not much going on. Julia has decided as of yesterday that her 1994 jeep has seen better days and needs newer wheels. She and her boyfriend looked at two used Lexus suvs yesterday afternoon. I put a quick stop to that.One was like $24K and it had 70K miles on it. Julia told me to quit e-mailing so much and to work harder.Gee whizz. I thought I already worked hard and my e-mailing is my only outlet.I don't think it qualifies as a sport though.Did you ever try to play the new guitar that you got a while back? Tell me your three favorite meats and I will get up with your parents and decide when would be good for Debbie and me to bring supper to ya'll.Hang tuff , girl!!!!! Best wishes , John David

Hi Katie...first of all - have as much fun as a kid could possibly have at Disney! It hasn't been past 20 degrees for the past 5 days now! I thought I was going to the hospital yesterday morning. I had some serious backache. I held out for a while and it finally calmed down but had false contractions all day. Because he's named after your Father, he's going to give me a hard time until he's born. That's what Michaels do!

All of us appreciate very much the updates.I am so sorry about your good friend. You can never have too many friends!Did you eat any pralines in Charleston? They are great and if anything will put weight on you , it's pralines.They go good with vanilla ice cream too. I saw the cutest puppy Sat night at the Trinity Collegiate fundraiser. I even bid on her but luckily somebody wanted her more. My dog , Maggie would have had a fit if I had brought home a puppy.She is soooooo jealous. I know you are excited about Disney World. I have only been there twice, once when in college and once about 13 years ago.Have fun. I know you will. See ya soon. John David

Great Update. Man....it is hard to believe everything that has happened in a year. Just think how strong and brave you have gotten to be!!! I have all ideas that the upcoming year is going to be MUCH, MUCH better!!!! I bet you had a wonderful time in Charleston, even though it was mighty COLD to be doing anything outside. Disney is going to be fun and it should be warmer weather down there in Florida. Take lots of pictures and make sure your mom posts them so everyone can see what a good time you have. I just got home from a Super Bowl party - thank goodness it was inside. However, part of the party stuff was out on the deck but nobody spent much time out there because they didn't want to brave the weather. I'll be glad when it's warm so we can spend most of the time on the deck. Hope you have a good week. You all are always in my prayers. Take care, Phyllis

Hey!! I saw your mom at the courthouse. We were on different cases so she was nice to me for a change. (just kidding! Your mom is always nice no matter what your dad says.)I hope it gets pretty for your weekend in Charleston. Have fun!! I heard that ya'll came and saw the dogs next door to my ofice. Aren't they cute. Phyllis hasn't come and gotten her three yet. If you will give me her address , I will take them to her.How about the guitar? I haven't heard anything about it since you got it. Have you been practicing on it or have you been too busy? My niece is in the 12th grade at Trinity Collegiate and they are selling BBQ boxes to raise money today. I ordered 4 for the girls and me here at the office to be delivered at 12:30. I can't wait. I love BBQ. You couldn't tell it by looking at me , could you? Our luck is that some client without an appointment,as usual,will come in as soon as we sit down to eat.Make sure you get a praline or eight while you are in Charleston. They are great and very non-fattening.Take care and come back to the dog office when you can. John David

Hey! TV 13 came to my office yesterday and interviewed the next door neighbor with all the dogs and me. We were on the 6 O'clock news last night. He has 36 dogs , not 33 like I said earlier.He was going to try and take two puppies to Columbia today to,hopefully,have them adopted by a loving family.How would you like to have to feed , wash and play with 36 dogs? I feel like my one dog and one cat are sometimes too many.Caroline , my 17 yo that you met,had to take the SAT this morning. She wasn't happy about getting up early on a Sat.She had to go to bed before too late last night and she wasn't happy about that either bec her boyfriend's home for the weekend from college.Oh well. I wasn't happy getting up at 6:10 this morning either to make sure Caroline didn't oversleep.But , I've gotten a lot done today.It's so pretty outside. I hope you and Erika are enjoying the weather. Hope to see ya'll soon. Come see the dogs and me. Don't ya'll want 5 or 10 more dogs?

About the biopsy pain. I used to ask for deep marcaine at the biopsy sites. It would numb the spots for 12 to 24 hours. By the time it wore off, the pain was minimal.

Great update with great news! Keep it coming.Katie , did you and Erika see in the paper and on the news about John Thompson having 33 dogs and the city was going to take him to court saying he could only have three dogs? He lives next door to my office here on Evans and I am his attorney. He loves animals and takes them in rather than them being put to sleep. There have been letters to the editor and to the mayor.The city advised my office yesterday that they weren't going forward with it. A great victory for animal rights.Get your folks to bring you to my office even if I'm not here.His yard runs down the left side of my property and all the way behind it. I was playing with the cutest puppy this am when I got to the office.I hadn't seen him before. Some of them though you don't want to stick your hand in the fence.They come from different homes and some have been mistreated.Come see them and me. I'll be here Sat. and then Sun after church. Have a great day ! You are a strength and inspiration to me and everyone else. Warmest wishes , John David

Twisted your ankle? Yuk...........my vote is to stay away from PE!!! Calories, girl, you need calories?!?!?!? I have lots of nurse friends who can make some mean calorie-laden foods. My friend, Vicki, makes that pimento cheese that your mom likes from Apple Annie's. My friend, Kathy, makes the best baked potato soup in the world. My friend, Faye, makes some wonderful huge chocolate chip with nuts cookies. I can make all kinds of stuff. Just tell your mom to let me know when and we'll bombard your house with calories! I'm glad the bone marrow went well - I hate that it took 3 sticks for your IV. I'm still praying and I'm always thinking about you. Be careful.....it sounds like you've got lots of fun things planned and you need to be able to do them. Phyllis

I shouldn't complain with all the terrible weather other parts of the country are having.

Love the new page design; great picture with the Santa hat!!
The other pictures are great, too. I am so glad to hear that everything at your house is going well.
It is a little strange to be in flip-flops and a tee shirt on Christmas Eve. I'm just glad Santa and his reindeer can travel in any weather. I checked the Santa tracker about 10 minutes ago and Santa was last spotted over Peru....I'm going to bed soon 'cause I don't want him to skip me!!

The picture from Myrtle Beach look so cute! I love the giant chair! That made such a great picture!

Tell Erika I completely understand... my mom only lets me open one present on Christmas Eve... I, too, have to wait until Christmas morning to see what else Santa has in store!!

Wishing you the best this Christmas Eve!!

My 6 year old nephew is SO excited. He wants EVERYTHING. We're eating supper and opening presents at his house tomorrow. Do you get to open any presents tomorrow or do you have to wait until Christmas Day? You have to go to be early tomorrow night so Santa can stop in and I hope he brings lots of good stuff to your house.

I asked her when I can come babysit and play games and maybe even cook supper at your house. She's going to let me know. Thinking of you all. Phyllis

Good morning! I had Osgood Schlatter in both my knees growing up.The front of my knee caps were so sore that I couldn't touch anything with them.I remember many times turning around in my desk and hitting the desk in front of me.The pain was awful.It also kept me from doing things on my knees like canoeing,crawling,etc. But at least its something that can be treated.I am relieved that it is that and not the other.Go Cocks!! Have fun!!! JD

Good to see y'all last night. Are all the Hershey kisses gone? Have you talked your parents into playing the new game yet? Tell your mom to let me know when I get to come hang out with you and Ericka so that she can do what I told her she needs to do!! I can't wait....I want someone to play Jenga with.........Have you ever played that? Plus, I can bring CHOCOLATE. Saying prayers, Phyllis

Oh my heart just sinks to hear this news. I hope that they find an easy fix to the leg pain, and maybe consider putting a port in for a central line. It is a lot less stressful than the IV sticks (I must warn you, it hurts when they first put it in!). NB stinks and I hope that the ABT is working and her pain is related to something else. HUGS!

Hey Katie. I'm soooooo sorry that you are in pain. I wish I could share it with you so that it would go away.I hope and pray that you are better today. We need you full strength for Christmas. What is Santa bringing you and Erika?Only 20 more days.I can't believe it is so close.We decorated our street this past Sat.Ya'll will have to come see it at night.All the trees in the middle aisle have Christmas lights and the street curves so it is very pretty. Sorry about all the needles. The nurses always have a hard time getting me too.In fact I have to go later this week and get blood drawn. I have high blood pressure and cholesterol. Your mother helps keep the blood pressure high. Just kidding. I think it comes with practicing law.I love your most recent picture.It's always good to see you smiling. Be back with you soon.

Hi all,
I was so thrilled to see you at clinic last week!! Katie, you looked GREAT and I'm so glad you're feeling so much better!! I'm so proud, too, of the way you're handling labs, etc. without the central line. You always make me proud!! Sounded like a great day "fit for a Queen" in Charleston. All of you deserved royal treatment! Hope you all will have special holidays - I know you and your family always make any days special!! I always say I want to be a fly on your wall for 24 hrs. I've been thinking that a fly is gross. Can I change to a butterfly? A day in the life of the Krizes would be so fun!!!!!!!

Ask the person who draws Katie's labs if they can do it as a finger stick. My nine-year old has talked her lab tech into doing a finger stick, even when they are drawing CBC, liver panel, and chem 7 at the same time.

I'm glad Katie is feeling well and will be back to school. I hope the rest of you clear up soon.

I told you the stitch removal wouldn't be bad.The update is so uplifting. Keep the good news coming. Have you had a chance at all to practice on the guitar?That might be something good and fun to do when you are riding back and forth to Columbia or wherever.It would help pass the time. Also,it will take your fingers some time to get tough and calloused so that the strings won't hurt when you practice a lot.Have a great week! John David

Thanks for the recent update. It is sooooooo great to hear good news. Sorry about the two rude people.Generally , the further north you go , the more likely you are to run into people like that. ( Just Kidding )I hope you have a great Thanksgiving and that Erika gets rid of that cough and cold.My cousin , Johnny DeBerry,is a part owner of a hunting club on the river and we go out to their cabin for Thanksgiving each year. We go out by the river right as it starts to get dark to watch the ducks fly in. It is so beautiful that time of day and the skies are filled with beautiful ducks. They are all quacking , of course which makes it that much neater.The worst thing about Thanksgiving is that I always eat too much. I always have to get a little of everything and it always adds up to a huge plate.Have a great day tomorrow. Maybe we can fix you supper one night next week. I promise it won't be turkey.

Hi Katie and family!
I could not wait to hear about the surprise on Sat. but somehow it's not coming through on my computer yet! So I read the guest comments and assume you went to Charleston!! How much fun! Sounds as if you had a rough week. I am always so proud of you because you work so hard -even when it's so tough - and keep going like the energizer bunny! All the staff just falls in love with you and your family - and you have a whole host of people helping you through this - even when the going gets tough!! You have always taught me so much about courage and "keeping on keeping on"!! Hope you have a good trip to Washington. I know the folks there love you, too!! Do you know that I still think your family should star in its own sitcom! And my wish is still to be a "fly on the wall" for 24 hours in your house!!!!
Love all of you lots - Happy Thanksgiving!!!!

I was so anxious to learn the secret plans that reading the web page was the first thing I did when I got up this morning………even BEFORE my coffee!! I am so glad you had a good time. I used to live in Charleston but I’ve never been on a carriage ride. I always thought that I should get a job as a tour guide on one since I have a real southern accent, y’all. Instead, I continued on in midwifery school. Oh, well. Losing your voice is a sure sign that you have had a good time!! Just ask my friends, I lost mine last year and this year during our “Vegas Vacation”. Laughing and talking will do that to you. I wish your mom had remembered that about me from last year so she would have known it was a symptom of having fun and she wouldn’t have been worried that you might be getting sick. You make sure to remember for next time. When you went in the restaurant and found someone named “Phyllis”, your mom should have known (and warned everyone) that person would be nothing less than entertaining…………it goes with the name!! Y’all have a safe flight and I’ll be thinking about you and praying. Take care, Phyllis

Katie , so much for dove hunting today. That awful storm we had ran off all the doves.I had to be in Georgetown Thurs am at 8:30 for an adoption and had to drive thru off and on heavy rains. I wasn't too happy with Denise scheduling an out of town hearing for 9:15 am. At least I didn't hit a tornado on the way. Have a great day today as it is beautiful outside. Also try to do some real fun things in Washington.What do your dogs think about the new fish ? Luckily , you don't have cats or the fish might have been their supper. Best wishes , John David

Hi Katie ... It was so cute to hear your voice today when I called for your mommy. Tell your mommy I said you have the sweetest, most innocent little voice. A little angel. I think about you all the time and hope my constant prayers give you some strength you need to get better soon. We love you !!!

I think that every single one of us that log on and follow your blog ask, why, why, why when we read about all the things you guys are going through. There really are no answers. The only thing we can do is have faith and pray about it. Just when we start to think there is no hope, there is always, always hope. I truly believe in the power of prayer, I have witnessed it with my own eyes. God has Katie in the palm of his hands and he is taking care of her. So, let's all keep praying and praying. That is the best thing we can do for the Krize family. Please give Katie a big hug for me and tell her that I love her. Love, Amy

Maybe you and Erika can go with us one night when you feel better. I would love to take both of you.Get well so we can all rejoice. John David P.S.

I'm sure there are others checking this site also that aren't leaving messages, but are praying for you all. I pray that the docs will find a solution to this problem and get it resolved quickly.

Wow, talk about ups and downs! Those fevers are so unnerving. It is similar to what Kendall had, but his never quite got that high. But they would disappear without any tylenol or anything. We never did find a "cause", though I have my suspicions. I was also worried there would be massive progression, but there was only slight. Hang in there. We're praying for you!

Hi Katie...sorry to hear about those fevers. Like your Mommy said, hopefully they are over.

I visit Mimi's grave every Monday, Wednesday and Friday. Every day that I am there I always ask her to watch over you and give you (and your family) the strength you need to get through all of this.

I know that you are upset about not getting to see Mimi when she was in the hospital but belive me, she did not look like herself. I sometimes have dreams about it , waking up in tears, because it still haunts me. All of her grandchildren did not need to see her that way. You needed to remember the loving, beautiful Grandmother you were all blessed to have in your life. Let that subject rest...you were all better off.

Hang in there girl...I want you here next March when this baby comes...baby Boy Michael!

I'm sending hugs and kisses to all of you.
I love you...

Katie, sorry to hear about these fevers you keep having. Also sorry to hear you didn't get to go shopping with your dad! I'm leaving tomorrow to go to a convention in El Paso, Texas. I'm going with Mrs. Jeanne, Rachel (who was also a Dolphin counselor with me) and a few other people. It's a convention that will help us plan activities for Camp Kemo. It will be a lot of FUN!! Have you ever been to Texas? I will take lots of pictures and can send them to you so you can see what all we do. I'll try to get some funny pictures to make you laugh! We may take a taxi into Mexico. If we do, I'll get something for you and Erika. Maybe a big sombrero? Don't tell her though, let it be a surprise!

Well Miss Katie Krize (Boo-hoo)--your mom is too funny sometimes! I hope your fevers calm down and you are able to go to school and have fun with your friends. I'm not sure when you'll be in the clinic, but I'll come by and visit if you feel like it. I'm not a fan of needles either--so glad your dad told them to access your central line instead! Your parents both love you so much and I'm so glad to have known you for all these years!!

Take good care of yourself (and your parents and Erika) and I'll write when I get back from Texas! =)

Ugh those fevers are so horrible. I hope they find a resonable cause for them. We never found one for Kendall's, but they somehow vanished on their own. The doctors like to call this a "virus". To me that means "We have no clue what the problem is, but want to sound like we do."

I'll be praying for Katie and thinking of her during her scans. Oh, and some for you too Michele - the stress of this must surly be having effects for you too.

You have sooooo many friends that truly care about you and your family. you need to come to my office.I know you have two dogs and love them. The guy next door to my office loves animals and takes in strays.His yard is fenced and runs along the left side of my office and behind my office.It's good for security as he probably has 20 dogs.This morning I saw where he has a new puppy and he/she is so cute.All kind of different dogs.Get your Mom to bring you by and bring Erika.You can also see all my Three Stooges stuff.My wife doesn't like them so I keep all that here.What's been going on since the last update?

Your strength amazes me.We all will pray even harder so together we can,and will, kick C's butt.You have so many people who are with you all the way. How about us fixing supper one night to bring to you? Tell us when and what. Or at least tell us what not to bring. We know not bannana pudding.

Ladies and Gentlemen, We are gathered here today to bestow upon Michele, supermom of Katie and Erika, the title of RN. In this case, those initials stand for Reluctant Nomiatrist (I'm using a loose definition of the word) or they could stand for Remarkable Nurturer or maybe just plain - Really Neat. Congratulations Michele on your title. I’ll conclude the award ceremony with the presentation of your medal whatever night you let me bring y’all supper. Okay, everybody, give her a kiss.
Happy belated birthday to Erika.
Have a safe trip and I’ll be praying.
Take Care, Phyllis

You are in my prayers! All of you!

Hey Katie ... did you decide on your halloween outfit ? Your mom reminded me when we (your mom,me,tracy and Debbie Dengler) (I think !) went as army, navy, air force, and marines. Your mommy (the Marine) looked very scary as a military person. She used scared me a lot growing up though (Oh, she could be nasty and so totally unpredictable !) We sure missed your side trip to our house last time you were in DC. Abby and I were really looking forward to your visit. (Connor too, but don't tell him I said that). Hopefully we will see you at NIH soon on another trip. Miss you guys,

Katie, have you decided what you are going to be for Halloween? I am going to dress up, although I will be handing out candy since I'm definitely too old to trick-or-treat. You should go though--you get lots of good candy and I know how much you like candy! =)

Sorry to hear you were at the clinic, but maybe Woody was there to sing with you. He's in town for a camp this weekend. I work in Columbia, so I can visit you anytime you feel up to it.

I cannot believe Erika is 9! That makes me feel old! I still remember seeing Katie and Erika buying shoes when I worked at one of the shoe stores near the Columbiana mall. Erika was so little and she was running around everywhere. =)

Well Katie, I hope you are feeling better and hope your next trip goes well. I'm always thinking of you. I still have my bracelet on from Camp Kemo, and it reminds me of you when I see it. Have fun on Halloween...maybe your mom can post some pictures of you and Erika in your costumes!

I say, you're a warrior, dress up in military gear! If olive drab and camouflage doesn't appeal to you, consider Air Force or Navy uniforms which are very cool! You can also go "old school" and be a samurai or ninja warrior if you want. They get cool swords too!

I hope the trip to NIH goes well and you get back in time to enjoy some halloween festivities. Even if you don't "trick or treat", maybe there are some other cool halloween things to do in your area. We're praying for you Katie!

Hi Katie - my son Chris is 13. I am not sure if he will be trick or treating but he is going to a party. He is dressing up as the headless horseman (very scary). He's as tall as I am (5'9") so with the costume he looks like an adult, which might make people mad when they open the door. My daughter Ally is going to be Frankenstina (Frankenstein's sister). She says that the boys get all the good costumes. She is 11 (almost 12) and she will be going trick or treating. You can see her costume at http://jas.familyfun.go.com/arts-and-crafts?page=CraftDisplay&craftid=10243. We added brades so she can be a girl. I think you should go!! Have fun.

Oh and one more thing. The last year I trick or treated was 7th grade when I was also 12. I thought I was too cool and grown up for it when I was 13, and then I remember my little sister trick or treated and teased me with all her candy. And judging by the big dent Katie puts in my massive camp candy supply every year - she better take advantage and go trick or treating one more year or poor Erika will suffer!!!

Halloween.....hmmmmm. Tough decision what to be. Natalie is dressing like Edie Sedgwick. If you have no idea who she is...neither did I!!! She is a 1960's style icon. How is that for different. Wearing the makeup that this girl wears was the big allure for Nat. Check out the website seventeen.com/beautyschool. Thenk click on makeup tips for Halloween. There are some good ideas to work with for the older mature girls that are trick or treating!!! Hope this helps and let me know what you end up doing!

Welcome home and thanks for the update.The 29th is my birthday. Remind me to save you some cake so when you get back from your second trip to Washington I can come see you and bring supper.Warning!!!! There may not be any cake left , but if not we will bring another dessert. My 19yo daughter likes to eat all the top part of the icing off,leaving only a thin layer over the entire cake.Like nobody will notice. It drives her sister , her mom and me ballistic.I know you are glad to be home with all your friends.How about we fix you supper one day next week?You and Erika decide what you both want and have your mom call me so that we can set up a date with the cook( spousal unit in domestic law largo )at my house. Take care. You are sooooo strong.We are all so very proud of you. Best wishes , John David

Katie, I hope your scan went well today and hope nothing showed up! I'm glad you're going to Washington, DC to get treatments and hope you're able to do some sightseeing if you have time.

You have tons of people thinking about you and praying for you. A lot of Camp Kemo counselors have been asking about you. I hope to visit you again soon. =)

Did you get your cell phone yet? If so, I bet you have been making a lot of calls! I wish I could help you with guitar lessons, but I used to play the trumpet, so I'm afriad I wouldn't be much help. Woody will be visiting soon for another camp we have coming up--get him to teach you a few chords--you can both play together!

Well just wanted to say hey, and that I'm thinking of you. I'm so happy your parents have this page set up for you. Everyone can keep track of how things are going with you, and that's wonderful! Say hello to your mom, dad and Erika for me! =) Love you!

We were so sorry to hear about the latest scans, but relieved to hear about the marrow results. We will be praying for a big fat 0 from Ca. and for no uptake/lights today. How crazy to hope that your child makes a "0" on a test? It's Katie's one chance to make her parents happy with a "bad grade"! I know that you are reeling from the news, especially with a girl that looks and feels great (aside from all her recent procedures)! What a shock given her overwhelmingly positive response to the topless cyclone. I know that you are glad that you already had a plan in place even if you have to switch gears now. I don't think that I realized that Katie and Grace's date of dx were so similar. Grace was dx 6 years ago Sept. 29. I know what you mean about it being such a day of reflection (in a bad way). I hate that anyone has to go through this, but I think I feel it more intensely for you guys since our situations of being NED for so long are so alike. I wish that I could take it all away. We will be praying for good MIBGs, good cellular bone marrow results, good rest for all of you, and that God's hand will guide you in your decision making in the coming weeks. Those are some mighty special girls that you have. Please tell them that the NC filly girls say hello.

Hi all! I am so proud of you all!!! This news is hard to hear for all of us; but I know especially hard for you. I have shared your family with my family and others. There are several prayer chains activated and you have many people praying for strength to deal with what you are dealing with and strength for your bodies to be able to do everything required of you in the future. I will be praying for grace to get through each hard situation every day. Also for safety in your travels. I will share the latest news with those prayer warriors and I am confident in your family, friends and our heavenly father to help see you through what ever you might face. Katie, I know you have a tough road that you are traveling, but I am so proud of you and thankful that I know you and had a chance to spend so much time with you at the Youth Center at Shaw. I love you and Erica and Mommy and Daddy and hope that I can spend even more time with you soon. We will trust in God especially when we don't understand what his plans are for us. It is harder some days than others, isn't it?

All my love and support

I wish I could help with the guitar lessons.I took guitar and piano but being the talker I am I would talk thru the entire lessons so that the teachers wouldn't know I hadn't practiced since the last lesson. Needless to say , I got nowhere and wish I had stuck with one or the other or both.All of your family are so inspirational.I have had so many people I know come down with cancer over the last three years. The good Lord seems to help all of them find great strength.We will continue to pray daily. I wish we could do so much more. At least Katie chose the guitar instead of the violin,drums,bagpipes,trumpet,etc.Warmest wishes to all. John David

I am so thankful for your positive attitudes about finding something good in each day. There are so many good things, but we need to remind ourselves to look for them and celebrate them.

Sounds like ya'll need a good lawyer after yesterday.I had an awful experience not too log ago with a new " Hospital policy "on adoptions. I was representing an adoptive couple and we(someone from my office and me) always went before to bring the newborn from the hospital to give to our clients to take home. Well they said the polcy had changed and that the birth mother had to take the child.I said that's crazy.The birth mother had already signed a consent after delivery,did not want to see the child,nor did I want the birth mother having contact and possible bonding with a child she had already decided that adoption was best for the baby.I went around and around with the hospital and two of their attorneys. They finally said that the attorney we had take the consent from the mother could take the baby from the hospital. This was ridiculous as he did not represent the birth mother as he only took the consent and witnessed it.I didn't argue as the attorney was a friend of mine and I wanted the baby asap.Luckily the attorney and his secretary were still at his office and could go to the hospital to get the baby I told them they needed to immediately change their new " policy" as they could get sued if they caused an adoption not to go through.Think of the emotional distress.

My "Policy" is to get thru the day as best I can and hopefully end on a high note.

I hope ya'll will have time to see and enjoy Washington.Hopefully , that chocolate cake will keep the weight on you.Debbie made us one too. I don't think it was dietary.Katie , it was good seeing you and Erika and your parents.I know you will be glad when they get through replacing the windows on your house. Take care.We will keep you in our prayers. John David

Katie, I'm glad you're at home and I'm amazed that you slept through your MRI. Those machines are really loud! Can't believe they wouldn't give you heparin either! We had to use it to flush my brother's port, so I know how important it is to keep your line clean.

I think about you a lot. I went to a fundraiser for Camp Kemo last weekend in Myrtle Beach. Rachel went too (I know you remember her--one of the Dolphins counselors who got married after camp last summer and is also from Florence)...well we had a GREAT time and guess what?? Over $48,000 was raised for Camp Kemo!!! I was VERY excited! So I'm looking forward to camp already and it's just nowhere close to summertime yet! We are going to have so much fun!!

Please tell your mom, dad and Erika hey for me. Give yourself a huge hug too! =) I hope your trip to Washington, DC goes well. I'll be checking your page for updates.

Hi Katie!
This is your old teacher Mrs. Heffernan. I am sorry to hear that you are once again battling cancer. I have always been impressed by your courage, your dedication to school, your love for family and friends, and your optimistic attitude. You are a very special person and I think of you often. I will pray for your cancer to leave your body permanently and I will pray that you remain strong in your faith. You are a warrior and you are a miracle. You have a great purpose on this earth and you have touched my life in a deep and moving way. I am here for you, rooting and cheering, as you battle and defeat this enemy. You are a warrior princess. And, You are a Winner! I love you with all of my heart. And, I can't wait to see your smile. God Bless You and Your Family.

TGIF !!! Weekend !!! Did you get any sleep at home with the workmen there this week taking out windows and putting new ones in? I hope so.I also hope your pain is going away. I'm going dove hunting in the morning and afternoon on Sat. and in the afternoon on Sun.I love to hunt and that's about the only thing that gets me out of this office. The bad thing about the hunt in the morning is that I have to be at the field at 7am and it is in Dillon. I hope you can have some fun this weekend. You deserve it.I will see you and Erika Thurs. night.Debbie and I are bringing you supper and dessert. 8 pounds of bananna pudding!!!!!!! Just kidding.We tried that once and I think only your mom ate it.You don't know what you are missing. We will bring a different desert this time. Take care and have a great weekend. Check you later.

Take care and know that Becca, Eric, Pop-Pop, and I say prayers for you every night. We continue to ask "Mimi" to strengthen you and make you better.
We all Love You very much. Give your Daddy, Mommy and Erika a big hug from us.

Dear Katie, you don't know me but your Mom is a friend of mine. My name is Dare Morris. I teach PE at West Florence High School with Coach Sean Heffernan. He is married to Miss Robyn Dartnell Heffernan. I know that she was your teacher when you were younger. She is a really nice person and she speaks of you often. I'm going to give her this website. I'm happy to here that you are home and I pray that you continue to get stronger. I have a little girl who just turned 4, her name is Cameron. She and I say a special prayer for you and your family every night. Well you take care and be good to your sister. I'm sure she is happy that you are home. I forgot to tell you something. My Mom's name is Kate. It's short for Katrina. Bye-bye for now.

Hey Katie.... We are sooooo glad that you are home. Natalie and I pray for you everynight when Natalie goes to bed. We were really worried about you and were so happy to hear that you got the thumbs out to get out of hospital jail! Natalie always comments on how brave you are. She hates to just have her blood drawn! She would love to get another letter from you when you are up to it. Give your Mom a hug from me and get better quickly!!!

Dear Michele, Mike, Katie and Erika,

You were in my thoughts and prayers all day.
As you told me to do I left the box with the quilts at the nurses station. It is a priority mailing box as I thought it was going to be mailed.
Wrap Katie in her quilt. In case she is in protective custody from germs I washed the finished quilt before packing it. This is the small one, but has all the same love as was in the whole quilt that she received 5 years ago. The bigger one is waiting for you at your office.
Erika's is in the same box. We were sure she could use a special boost right now too.

We were so sorry to read that Katie was in the hospital. I know that you have had such an exhausting and frightening week. We will be in prayer that everything will go well with Katie's procedure tomorrow and that whatever was found on the CT will turn out to be something minor. We hope that this is all behind you soon and that all of these infections clear up asap. Someone once sent us a card that said, "Wouldn't it be great if life were like a VCR and you could fast forward through the crummy parts!" We will also be praying for Katie's terrific parents and little sister to be able to get some rest and
to not be too overwhelmed. Give the girls a hug for us (and one for Mom and Dad too!)

Hey , Katie. I hope this week is going as good as it started off. I went dove hunting 3 times last weekend , finally getting out of this office on the long weekend.Sounds like ya'll have been doing some fun things together as a family. My family went to Redbone Alley last night for supper. It was my daughter Caroline's 17th birthday. Time flies.I had three adoptions for clients this week so I got to do some fun things at work for a change. I love adoptions. One of the few fun things that I get to do being an attorney. Ask your Mom.I'm going to have to put on my boxing gloves with her before too long.Take care. Hopefully , I will get to see you again before too long. Best wishes , John David

It's not quite as good as being a "fly on the wall" in your house (my dream), but I'll enjoy being in touch via the website!

Hi guys! Glad to hear that school is off to a good start and sorry to hear that Katie kicked off the year with a virus! I know that you are glad to be home from the hospital. Our girls start school on the 28th. None of us are looking forward to giving up our lazy day schedule. Our girls so enjoyed getting to know your girls at CDL. Laura has a framed picture of the "Filly Girls" in her room. That trip was the highlight of our summer! We have a friend that was treated at our hospital that has relapsed recently and the parents are making some decisions on a treatment plan. After Katie's good response, we were planning to pass along your website to our friends in case they wanted to pick your brain about treatment options. They are on the nb list serve as well. Right now they are doing Accutane. Just wanted to give you a heads up in case they contact you. We hope Katie is able to get back to school soon! We will be checking on her and keeping you all in our prayers! Please tell Katie and Erika that our girls miss them and say hello!

I hope you continue to feel well and hopefully I'll be able to see you the next time you are in Columbia. Give Erika and your parents a big hug for me :-)

Hi Katie, I was so glad to hear the news about your bone marrow results! That is really wonderful. I hope you are feeling better too, after your blood transfusion. I had to have a blood transfusion too. We have to be thankful to people who donate their blood, because you know what, for a few days after they donate their blood, THEY feel pretty tired and yucky. My husband has given blood many times, and he gets pretty grumpy! Nowadays he's pretty grumpy anyway, but that's beside the point! Ha! I hope you have a wonderful time at Kamp Kemo, and Erika too! My birthday was May 18th, so you, your Mom and I all have birthdays in May. My Mom and Dad's birthdays were also in May! Makes May a pretty cool month, don't you think? Take care, Nancy Windham

Good morning,Katie. I hope you are doing well this week.No real news here. I just wanted to let you know that I'm still praying for you.There is a good article in the Florence Morning News today about a local man who says God cured him of back cancer.It was in Stage 4 when he discovered his.It says he has a book out at a local Christian bookstore telling of how God has helped him. There are so many friends and people you don't even know praying for you. Keep the faith and continue to hang tuff. Best wishes , John David

Hang in thru this cycle of chemo, Katie. I'm really looking forward to hearing about those upcoming birthday plans!! & good luck with the trial Michelle. Well, just want you to know we're thinking of you up here in NYC. Love SHIRLEY, mother of Simon (age 12) (dx NBIV in 5/98, OT 8/01) and Sophie, age 19)

Hi Katie! Glad to hear your trip went well. It must have been neat to shop at some of the "big" stores in Chicago. I can agree with you on the fact that the city is too big and loud. I feel the same way about NY. Stay strong and positive. Give Mommy lots of hugs and kisses everyday, not just for Mother's Day. She needs you as much as you need her. You're so lucky to have such a wonderful Mother and Father in your life, anyone would be blessed!

Katie, I am sure if I was at your concert with your Mom, I would had cried too. Heck, I cried when I read it. That is something that a Mom holds so dear to her heart. Can't wait to see you Saturday at the party. Bring play clothes and that great big beautiful smile. Good luck with the MRI and tests. I had my MRI done last month and got a clean bill of health.

My whole church (my husband Joe is the pastor now) is praying for you and we trust that God is going to do a mighty work in your life. I saw your beautiful pictures on the website and WOW! you have turned into a B E A U T I F U L young lady. I see you have a little sister too. She is a cutie too. I hope to see you sometime.

Hi Katie, I remember when my hair fell out during my chemo. I thought I was prepared for it and that it wouldn't really bother me, but you know what...it did! So don't worry if it bothers you 'cause that is normal. So just make friends with your hats and wig and take lots of pictures, you'll enjoy them later. You can get a few of your girlfriends (and Erika and your Mom too) to put on bright red lipstick and put kisses all over your head - take a picture of that too!! Anyway, the thing is, your hair will grow back! Sometimes even healthier than before...mine did. So if anybody makes fun of you, just feel sorry for them, they're not going to have as many cool hats as you!
Take care, Nancy Windham

I think you must like bright colors, too. So do I! We'll add your name to our prayer list at Libby Baptist Church. I hope you can remember, especially during the rough times, that many people are praying for you, and that you can feel the peace that comes from God.

Hi my sweet Katie! I was so glad that I called your mom today. I did not know that you have a web page. I sent it to Ms. Linda so she could see those beautiful pictures of you and Erica. Mom said that you don't like to talk on the phone too much but are beginning to enjoy the computer. Maybe you can email me sometime. I would like to come see you. Maybe I can kidnap Ms. Linda and we can come visit one day when you feel like having us over. I love you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Just checking those beautiful new pictures you added. Katie, keep up the fight. You are a beautiful girl and I love the dress (I know your mom made you wear it - it's ok - moms do that a lot - just think when she is old - you can dress her up and make her wear silly clothes! :)

Your mom is so great - she brought the Sumter office Muffin tops from Florence - we loved them and gained 50 lbs yesterday - I think she may need to come to Sumter more often! Take care - our thoughts and prayers continue to be with the entire family. Michelle - you can beat Tricare - you go girl! Sharon Hornsby

Katie,
I saw your Mommy yesterday........actually, I was sitting in the room with her when she got the call about your GREAT numbers. AND while I was visiting with your Mommy, she was nice enough to show me some pictures from the hat party. Y'all all looked like you were having alot of fun. Boy, did your Mom look silly in that one hat....but I told her she should wear it to court...what do you think? I wanted to let you know that I work with a bunch of nurses and we have a space on our communication board called "Spiritual Needs". That's where we put the names of people that need "warm fuzzies", good thoughts and prayers. You and your Mom and your Dad and your sister are in that space. Every day, at least one person here asks about you and says she is praying for you. You should be feeling alot of "warm fuzzies" floating from here. Hope the Easter Bunny comes to your house...Take care. Phyl

You are truly the sunshine of my life. I love you very much and can't wait to see you on Easter. I am so glad you are feeling better and can get out. I have been praying so very much for you and know without a doubt that God answers prayers. Have a wonderful day and know that God loves you so very much and so do I. Give Erika and your mommy a big hug for me and hit your dad upside that big ole bald head. Tell Nana and Aunt Sandy, I can't wait to see them again.

And isn't modern medicine great, particularly prozac.A secretary for another attorney years ago gave me a sticker that read " It's a sick world,and I'm a happy guy." I still have it.

Keep getting better.Your family obviously has a lot of friends and family who are praying for you.You can beat it.Hang in there. John David P.S. If your mama settled the case with me tomorrow,she wouldn't have to go to court. The air condition was broken in the court house last week and the first part of this week.Not good for this fat boy.

Hi Katie, I hope you are feeling a little better. I missed you today at school, and I will miss you all week. GOod News is that Sandy is moving the horses on Friday. I, hopefully, will get to sleep over at the pasture/barn. School was a drag. We did our usual stuff moving on to Alexander the Great and reading still in "The Lottery ROse". Analyssa accidentally was hit in the eye by the soccer ball. And get this, it was by Richard. LOL! She was okay though. Morgan, Anna, Analyssa and Janki all miss you. They say "Hi".

Hi Katie ... Connor and I went to church today and prayed special prayers just for you. You are on the church's prayer list here in Reading, PA, so you have hundreds of people sending you our prayers for strength and healing. We love you ! Wish we lived closer so I could come see you, but know we think about you all the time. Give your sister and mom (ok, dad too !) a hug from Beanie.

Hi

how I miss my UNO partner. Nobody but nobody wanted to play UNO with me. You are the braviest and kindness person in this world. I hope things are not too awful and you are resting. I miss you and hope to see you again soon. It,s been very busy in surgery and I haven't had an opportunity to visit. Hope Mary Nell is having you do some fun things.

Remember I am praying for you. Tell your family hi for me.
Best wishes for your interview at school.

Hi Katie & Family, I have been meaning to come to your website every since your mom told us (nb group) that you had relapes.This is what we all have a fear of & I guess always will.
I love reading the post in your guestbook. What great faith your family has & many of your guest that writes. It's very uplifting.
I sure will keep you in my prayers today as you have surgery,if I read that right.Also I was looking to see if you have had any of the antibodies.There is still some good treatments out there. You will get through this again.
Stay real strong in your faith, God tells us to ask & beleive.
I wish I could come to your hat party, that sounds like fun.But Knoxville TN is a little far to drive.You will be in my thoughts & prayers. Keep asking sweet girl.God has a plan for you.

Hello everyone, just wanted to say that I had lunch with Katie and Michele on Friday. Katie is a true fighter and I know without a doubt that she will win this battle. She was upbeat and funny and still quite the little entertainer, as she always has been. She is so witty and doesn't miss a single beat. She inspires me and always has. One would never imagine that she is battling such an ugly disease. I was with her when she was diagnosed initially and watched my sweet little goddaughter go through more than anyone should ever have to endure, but she was a warrior and had the strength and courage of Job. I had never met any one so little but yet so very strong. I truly thank God for her strength and especially thank Him for blessing her with such wonderful and loving parents. Katie is beautiful both inside and out and her sweet spirit and determination is amazing, but then she is an amazing little lady so I'm not surprised. I am both honored and blessed to have such a wonderful Goddaughter and ask that you all continue to pray for her and her adoring parents who are also truly amazing. Blessings to you all and I thank you for all the support and prayers you have given and continue to give to the Krize family.

Mom! The Joy of the Lord is your strength, just keep reaching out and drawing from him. Always remember God is able, and he is able to keep what you have committed to him, just don't give it to him and take it back trying to reason things out in the natural. When you look and what you saw, remember it does not matter what it looks like God knows what it is. Just don't lose FOCUS!!!!!!!!!
God is holding Katie in his righteous right hand, and he is able to do exceeding abundantly above all we can think, or even imagine with our natural mind.
Yea, though she walks through the valley and shadow, God is there, and Psa. 23 reminds me that Goodness and Mercy is following her also.
In the midst of challenges that will come into our lives, try to remember to Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and lean not to your own understanding, and (SHALL) direct your path. Just ask him to make it plain that you maybe sensative to his voice when He speaks.
I Bless God for you Katie and the supernatural engery that God has given you, that allows you not to focus on the circumstances but to walk in the liberty in which God has called you too for you have a destiny, he knew the plans he had for you (Katie) before Mommy and Daddy knew you.
Dad I bless God that as you wait upon the Lord your strength shall be renewed, that your faith won't become weary as your family draws from your strenth. God shall strengthen your wings likes the eagles as you run this race, he will allow you to walk and consenstrate on his word so you won't faint.
To the doctors I call their minds renewed in the name of Jesus, their hands Blessed , as God order their steps for submitting themselves to be the instruments to be used by him to bring about his (GLORY)
To the children that God will allow them to rest in him, as he give them perfect peace including Katie that surpasses all understanding.
To God be the Glory for great things he has done, continue to Thank Him! Praise Him! and Bless His Holy Name!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thank you kindly,
M Ponds

Dear Katie,
You don't know me- I am a friend of Phyllis Shearin, one of your Mom's clients. I am also the mother of three daughters. Through Phyllis I feel as though I know your Mom and your family. It is obvious that you have a very special family. I believe that God put you and your sister together with your Mom and Dad for a reason. I also believe that he will give you and your family what you need to fight this disease and win. Put your faith in God- He will always be there for you. When you feel too down to pray for yourself don't worry, there will still be many people praying for you and lifting you up to the Lord. Please let your Mom know that I am here at your service if any of you need anything. As the mother of three girls, I could probably babysit your sister if needed. Also, I am a pretty good cook if I can help with that. Whatever you or your family need, I would be more than happy to try my best to provide. Your mom has been so good to my friend Phyllis that I would love to repay her kindness by doing anything to help your family. I will be praying for you and will put you on my church prayer list. May God bless you and give you and your family strength, courage, and peace.
Yours in Christ,

Dear Michele,

Hello, my dear friend. It was so completely awesome reading your update! Everything sounds so perfect, and I am very happy for you. Katie's great scans and tests, and Erika being part of your family. Makes my heart smile and my eyes tear up.

I know what you mean about crying. I can cry just writing, typing or thinking about the fact that Emma starts preschool on Tuesday. She is going to preschool, and at one time, I didn't know if that was going to be in her future.

We are all doing fine. I will post a little road bump to the group...nothing serious, but I need some advice.

So happy to hear about Law School.....The best of luck!!

All my love and prayers.....angie

Hey Katie, well it sounds like you had a great time at camp. Your mom wasn't as happy as you were. She came to the beauty shop and spent a good part of Thursday with Mrs Buffy and me.

Great to hear Katie is doing so well. Good luck with the "eating". When Austin was in transplant, the interest was there, but when he took a bite he would spit it out, or gag ... he would say "everything" tasted yucky. One morning I offered him a sucker for breakfast, and he loved it (had one for supper too!). I think this gave his gut some practice for "real food". He was off TPN, and eating and drinking before we left. Just a thought! Good luck, and hope you find yourselves home real soon,

Hey big girl. I have missed you this week. I know it is only Tuesday but when I don't get to see you, it seems like forever. I will be up before the week is over to see you. I will see if I can sneak some water guns in so you can shoot the nurses and that "girl doctor". She is pretty cool, isn't she. She will take good care of you. Just remember that we all love you and are praying for you.
See ya soon.

G'day Katie,How's it going? My name is Ken and I'm a friend of Jodie and Van Willis. I'm from Australia and living in London at the moment and being a teacher. This is the last day of my holiday, which has been nice, and tomorrow I start teaching again, which isn't so nice. I'm going back home in a months time to see two of my friends get married and then I'm going back to the farm where I grew up. We have sheep, cows, dogs, cats, kangaroos, emus, rabbits, and lots of other things which aren't so nice. Would you like a present? See you later.

Hi Katie! I was so glad to get your address from Shannon. Your pictures were great. Just what I would have expected from you right after surgery. Never stopping. Sorry I missed you last week in the clinic I was out with the flu. I had to go to the doctor myself, and guess what Katie! They had to stick me three times to get my labs! Can you believe it? I sure could have used your broviac. I don't make a very good patient. I guess I'll stick to doing the nursing. Anyway, I'll see you tomorrow in clinic. Don't wear mom and dad out too bad on the way in.

Katie, your webpage is great. I came up to see you today but you were sleeping. I came prepared to shoot Shannon with the water gun. I'll come up tomorrow. Shannon told me that you have been shooting a lot. I think that is great. You are quite an inspiration to me. You and your family are in my prayers.
Love your favorite research nurse.

Dear Krize Family:

Don't we serve a mighty and awesome God?! I read your entry from yesterday, and I am so excited for you. My son, Michaael, goes to have an EMG on Thursday. This is the second diagnostic test he'll undergo for the doctors to determine if he has muscular dystrophy. And while we are being ever so careful to follow doctor's orders and undergo the tests, we know that we serve a GREAT PHYSICIAN who can intervene at any time. And your story has proven that. Please remember Michael in your prayers, and send a couple of your angels his way. We'll send them back, we promise :). I will remember you all in my prayers. God Bless you! P.S.: Another angel, MIchele DIckerson, shared your website address with me.

I will pray for you everyday, and so will my kids, who are pulling for you in this battle you are fighting. Please do me a favor, give your mommy a hug for me, since I haven't seen her for along time, and tell her it was from Blake. Merry Christmas and God Bless you Katie, and your Mommy and Daddy

Hi Katie,
Boy, I can't believe you're five years old and already have your very own website! It looks great, although I kinda expected to see even more pink in it! Your tree looks absolutely perfect - I can't wait to see it in person. I hope you're having a really great day today, and I hope you're taking it easy and not climbing all over the place!! I'll see you soon, Love you lots!

Hi Katie, Mike and Michele,
I love you all very much, your in my thoughts and prayers always. Katie I want you to know how lucky you are, you have a wonderful Mom and Dad( even though the spoil you rotten and messed up all the good I did the first 2 1/2 years, HA,HA) Seriosly, I am so glad you came into my life I feel so blessed, first for having the privlidge to care for and love Katie in the beginning of her life. And then to meet and get to know her new loving parents. Greg and I used to worry about the day we would loose Katie and sometimes we discussed adoption, but in our hearts we knew Katie was not ours to keep. We knew the reason why when we met you. Katie belonged to you! And we really did not loose Katie, we gained another daughter and son to go along with the already large Dove/Studley clan. I'm so glad your part of our family. God bless you! Love, Monika

Katie ... Connor says a prayer for you and asks how you are feeling often. He misses you playing with him so you tell your mommy and daddy to bring you back to PA sometime to play!! Keep your strong spirit and fight with all your might. You are the strength for your parents, and they are your strength right back.
Love, 'your Beanie'

Katie:
You looked absolutely wonderful at the Christmas party, who would have ever thought you had just had chemo. Keep on fighting and you can conquer this disease. My son is 12 and also has NB. I am also a member of the same internet group as your parents. Prayers to you and your family.
