Day +1, Morning Update
Hey everyone, Here’s a quick update on Kimbell’s progress…
She slept through the night, only waking quickly here/there to vomit and then go right back to sleep. The pain has been quite awful for her since the transplant was completed. Some of this is routine and the docs said things will continue to get worse for a few weeks and ‘hopefully’ pick back up. With your prayers and Kimbell’s winning attitude I am confident we will win this battle.
Just a few minutes ago Kimbell was crying because she hurts so badly. She’s maxed out on all the medicine she can take and it’s still quite bad. Nausea and pain… Please pray this goes away quickly. Kimbell asked me if they could put her old marrow back and told me she can live with the shots, infusions, etc. but not the pain she’s in right now.. Literally broke my heart into pieces… I held strong and gave her the pep talk about how everything will be okay and this is just the new marrow running it’s course. We spoke about what it means and takes to be a fighter and how good things will be once she’s out of this phase. She nodded her head and agreed to continue…
We will get through this… one day at a time…
P.S. Thank you all very much for the calls, texts and emails. We received hundreds…literally. Our apologies for not getting back to you, we’ve had our hands full. 🙂 We truly appreciate the support, thoughts, prayers and all you’ve done for our family. Paige, Kimbell and I have been truly blessed with outstanding friends and family. We love all of you!!

Praying pain and nausea eases, so Kimbell can rest. Hugs from Piper!
Will continue praying – and enlisting other prayers…
Wanted to let you know that we are thinking about you and hoping / praying that this all ends soon with better than expected results. Pain is very difficult to live with and or through. We hope it end soon. Hang in there girl. 🙂
Sending huge prayers and lots of love your way.

Ryan told me to tell Kimbell, it will pass! Be strong!
Praying, praying and praying, hope she gets better soon, hugs!!!
Praying without ceasing. Still been trying to mail the card I finally made. Tell Kimbell that I am a loser! I’ve been making the card for weeks now.
Jewel and I are sending lots of wet sloppy kisses your way..Kim you look so grown up from just a few months ago when I saw you at the OES Nationals…
Get outta there, Vomiting! And especially you, Pain! Praying for you all. One more day down, one day closer to your shiny new bone marrow settling in and making itself at home. You can do it, Kimbell!
You are always in my thoughts and prayers. I so wish I was able to be there helping in any way I could. But still sending prayers for Kimbell to feel better fast, for her new healthy donor cells to replicate like mad, for her ultimate healing, and for some comfort, support, and peace for you two, John and Paige. I love you all.
Hoping the pain eases quickly, wish I could take some away for her and you. Praying every day for all of you
Oh I am so hugging you all over the distance having to go through this hump with her, poor peanut, I hope today is a better day for her pain management wise! Thinking of you all, as always.
