The Kennedy Crew: September 2014
http://thekennedycrew.blogspot.com/2014_09_01_archive.html
Wednesday, September 3, 2014. Once bribery failed (and my patience was beginning to fail), it was time to resort to threats. I picked up my phone and told her I was calling Dr. Kuhls like he had told me to if she wasn’t going to eat. That got a response, “No, Dad, no! Saying “tortilla” after she had torn up some tortilla for herself and was continuing to eat. In action after about a tortilla and a half. Celebrating at Braum’s. We will be starting a grief support group this coming Monday, September 8 (Ale...

The Kennedy Crew: October 2014
http://thekennedycrew.blogspot.com/2014_10_01_archive.html
Monday, October 13, 2014. I have been struggling with how to write this post for several weeks now. I start it in my head, then I get so overwhelmed with the enormity of it all, I give up. I start again (again in my head) and am worried I will leave someone out. Tonight, I am starting to write on the blog – we’ll see if I can do it! So, forgive me friends! Are there hard days? Without a doubt. There are moments I look around and wonder how I will make it through the next minute. There are moments...I cov...

The Kennedy Crew: Open Christmas letter
http://thekennedycrew.blogspot.com/2015/01/open-christmas-letter.html
Monday, January 5, 2015. Top 10 Blessings of 2014. We were blessed to have caring doctors and nurses throughout the journey (during and after biopsies and surgeries and as Kelsey neared the end of her life). Knowing that Kelsey was not in pain in the final hours of her life was a comfort. They have been so willing to dive in and help: watching Alexa, running errands, mowing the lawn, listening to me verbally process (sometimes a messy affair) and other duties as assigned. I am blessed with two wonderful ...

The Kennedy Crew: May 2015
http://thekennedycrew.blogspot.com/2015_05_01_archive.html
Sunday, May 10, 2015. Happy Mother’s Day! I had some sort of nasty crud this weekend, so didn’t get to head up to hang out with family until this afternoon. I had a sore throat of the variety where I felt like screaming with every swallow (if it wouldn’t have made my throat hurt even worse). It isn’t strep, but knowing that fact still didn’t help when it was really hurting! This post is getting incredibly long. I wanted to leave you with a few specific prayer requests:. I leave you with this – a vi...

The Kennedy Crew: August 2014
http://thekennedycrew.blogspot.com/2014_08_01_archive.html
Wednesday, August 27, 2014. Grieving, Groping and God. There is no denying that on July 5, our lives were unalterably changed. There is a meaningful illustration in one of the books which has been very helpful to me through this time,. We also had a fairly extended “poop-mageddon”, where Alexa decided she was on strike in that regard as well. Thankfully, we seem to be on the other side of that standoff! Alexa is totally thrilled to have a wonderful friend and playmate in her nanny, Jenny. She asked m...

The Kennedy Crew: Four months
http://thekennedycrew.blogspot.com/2014/11/four-months.html
Wednesday, November 5, 2014. Four months. Am I better? No Am I bitter? No Are there moments when I am angry, discouraged, overwhelmed, and/or frustrated? Yep That is the current reality at times. And look, I did get a picture that day, just not one from the school! And in all of this, the reassurances of God’s Word rise up around me:. 8220;When you pass through the waters, I will be with you;. And through the rivers, they will not overflow you. When you walk through the fire, you will not be scorched,.

Wednesday, May 21, 2014. More cancer - more discouragement. He ordered another round of blood work to compare her stats now versus a month ago to see if there is progress being made on the treatment. He did share with Kelsey and Marilyn it is not time to give up, we have really only just begun more holistic treatment. He said it is time to fight. Healing - complete and total healing. No more spread of cancer and wisdom on the part of doctors to know how to get this cancer under control. We are back in No...
