Update from Kayla's grandma -
Kayla had a blood transfusion yesterday and then began her chemo therapy. The chemo will be used to shrink the tumors in her leg for a 10 week period (she will have chemo every 2 weeks during this time). Kayla will be able to come home from the hospital in between treatments. Around the 2nd or 3rd week of July Kayla will have her surgery to remove her leg about mid thigh area. Although the doctors found another small tumor near her growth platelet in her upper thigh they are hoping the chemo will dissolve it so that they will not have to amputate her entire leg.
Kayla is still in very good spirits and loves all of the doctors, nurses, staff and volunteers. She has had many visitors from her daycare center and her Great Grandma Shirley is here with us now.
Kayla's treatment today went well, but she was extremely tired as she and Tim had to get up every hour (for 6 hours) and then every 2 hours (for 10 hrs) during the night to go to the bathroom to empty her kidneys of the chemo treatment. Tonight is my turn and I'll have to do the same. This round of chemo will be finished at 10 p.m. tomorrow evening, if all goes well she may be able to come home on Sunday.

I love my precious Kayla and pray that God will heal her body completely and will minute by minute give her grandparents and mom the strength that they need to go through the things they need to do. I love you all.
