My name is Keira.... you can call me Keira.

My plan to update more frequently has not worked out too well. Since the twins birthday we've been super busy. Keira and Brendan are first graders now which means a lot of homework... really a surprising amount.

Keira is feeling good. She is pretty used to her medication routine but she still has bad days. This Tuesday she wasn't well enough to go to school in the morning after methatrexate, she slept for a while and had zofran and was able to go in around noon. She still has all of the emotional side effects too that are really tough on her and us.

Halloween was really fun, Keira was a witch and Brendan was as swamp monster, lots of candy was had by all. Their Christmas lists have already been in the mail for weeks so I think it is safe to say we're getting ready for the holidays.

This Saturday we will go to the second annual Lady Bug Ball. The first Lady Bug Ball was very soon after Keira was diagnosed and it meant a lot to us to get out and be around people who understood what we were going through. We've come a really long way since then and we feel incredibly blessed that we learned about the Kisses for Kyle foundation and have been able to become part of the KFK family.

Keira announced to us a couple weeks ago that she doesn't like Kiki anymore so I have to do my best not to call her that, even though I love it.

Here is Keira first thing in the morning, always with a smile on her face. Such a beautiful, sweet girl.


I will post pictures from the Lady Bug Ball, maybe I'll even remember to do it before the new year.
