What's up with Ooo Um Gow Ah?



Kylie has made up a little mantra to help empower himself during his treatment. It goes Ooo Um Gow Ah - Kylie's Got the Powa!! Hearing Kyle enthusiastically chant his mantra you can't help but be sure that he is going to give his tumor a serious run for its money.

To support Kyle, we have created a logo with Kyle's favorite cartoon character, Peep, cheering Kylie on with his Ooo Um Gow Ah chant. T-shirts, bumper stickers and wristbands are available for purchase with all proceeds going to the Kyle Roger Fund.

You are a brave and wonderful boy and your Oo Um Gow Ah chant is just the perfect thing you need to do to help you get better.

Kylie - Is your nose tickly? That's because you've got so many people thinking of you! I am Joelle's sister and she and your mom have told me stories about how smart, funny and strong you are. Me and my three girlies are sending you healthy vibes from Issaquah.

Be strong!

Lindsey said...

Hi Kylie Wylie! You know I love you, Cola, and your mama. I have been thinking about you like crazy lately (mostly things like how you count your money, how you think it is SOOOOOO funny to sit on my head and "toot", and your very awesome swimming...which I'm sure you are an expert at by now!)

I think that you and your brother are the very strongest little monsters that I know, and you are going get even stronger as you beat down this scary thing!

You can call me at anytime of the day or night. I am very weird right now and actually stay up ALL NIGHT LONG to work!

Kiss your mama for me.

I love you!!!

Lindsey

Hi Kylie!

I am so happy that I'm going to get to see you this week. I hear that you have grown a ton and I can't wait to see you! I am missing you and Cola so much. I get very jealous when my brother calls to tell me that he has gotten to babysit you and play monopoly. I can't wait until I get to take you to Tube Time and out to get icecream and play in the pool again.

I love you and Cola and your mamma so much and I know that you are going to beat this. You are the strongest, coolest kid I've ever met and I am so lucky to be your babysitter. I can't wait to see you guys!

Christin, I love you. You are amazing and you have always been there for me no matter what I have needed. I am so thankful for your ears, your sholder to cry on and your smile and laugh. Let me know if there is anything I can do. I am praying for you and your family non-stop. I love you.

ERIN

Unknown said...

Kyle,

You are truly one of the greatest little guys that I have ever met! Your family is so strong and I know you will help each other through this really tough time.

Love to you all.

Kyle and Nick,

We picked up your bunnies today and are soooo excited to bunny sit. They are happily hanging out in a nice hutch across from our girls, Hershey & Daisy. They have been enjoying lots of hay, carrots and yummy treats. Don't worry about them one bit - we'll take great care of them until they're ready to come home to you. You all are in our thoughts and prayers. Take care of each other. Let us know if there is anything else we can do. We hope to see you soon.

Je ne vous connais pas mais cette nouvelle m'attriste beaucoup. Je suis mamie de 2 magnifiques petits-enfants, un petit-fils de 7 ans et une petite coccinelle de 18 mois alors comme je dis toujours que les enfants sont des cadeaux du ciel eh bien petit Kyle, tu regarderas bien au ciel et l'étoile qui brillera le plus, elle sera là pour t'envoyer un message d'espoir, de courage et de force, cette étoile c'est mon papa qui est décédé et je lui ai parlé de toi et je lui ai demandé de bien veiller sur toi et ta famille.

Ne lâche surtout pas, bats-toi et tu seras le champion, le vainqueur comme tu es champion sur la planche à neige.

Le Gaspésie chaleureuse t'envoie une mer d'ondes positives et de bizous chaleureux.

Sois fort petit homme!!!!

En toute sincérité!

You are always in my prayers!

Johanne said...

Salut Jocelyn,
je suis une collègue de travail et une amie "crapbooking" de Steph. J'ai été très attristée de la nouvelle étant mère de 3 garçons et ayant toujours travaillé en pédiatrie. Malgré toute la détresse que vous pouvez vivre, votre courage et votre détermination est une arme essentielle que vous devez conserver en tout temps. Continuez de vous soutenir, de vous entraider. Utiliser tous les messages d'espoir, toute l'énergie qui vous sera communiquée mais surtout regarder tout ce que Kyle peut vous offrir par son coeur d'enfant, sa pureté, sa simplicité. Écoutez-le, respectez-le, il saura probablement vous donner encore plus que tout ce que vous ne pourrez jamais imaginer. Je garderai dans mon coeur une pensée positive pour vous à chaque jour.
Avec toute mon affection.

JJ said...

Hey Kylie,

Vas y mon ti-homme!!! Tu es un garçon extraordinaire et je sais que tu vas gagner cette bataille. J'ai hâte de te revoir l'été prochain pour reprendre nos concours de celui qui garde son respire le plus longtemps sous l'eau.

Je penses continuellement à toi et je t'envoie toutes les ondes positives.

Jocelyn, mes pensées vont également vers toi.

Je vous donnes une accolades majeures.

christy thompson said...

Hi Kylie, I heard you're feeling kind of crummy. I was so sad to hear that news. Do you remember being three at Little Epistle's? You were such a good little boy. You never got into trouble. If you ever want to hang out with an old teacher give me a call. We could go on an adventure. I'll wear my Ooo Um Gow Ah t shirt to school with Nicholas M.
Blessings and love from Mrs. Thompson

Jill DeJong said...

Hi Kyle!
All of your Room 1 friends miss you so much. Today we talked about what a kind and caring person you are and how we feel so lucky that you are our friend. We can't wait until you are feeling better. Everyone wants you to teach us how to make those fabulous paper airplanes. You are an incredible scientist!
I love the chant that you made up. I know that those words will help you stay strong and brave. I am looking forward to getting a shirt to wear to school.
I was thinking today about the first day of Kindergarten. You brought me a basket of cherry tomatoes. Do you remember? They were absolutely delicious and were one of the best presents anyone has ever given me. You are so thoughtful and I miss your smile greeting me each afternoon! All of us in Room 1 send you lots of love.

Hope to see you soon!
Love-
Mrs. DeJong

Kylie
When you stuck those two ski jumps last Sunday at Baker your dad told me for sure that 000-UM-GOW-AH you will beat the POWA!!!! When I saw that gutsy move you made just looking out of one eye I totaly realized he had to be right. I know even that cool cat Campbell was impressed by the move. You really showed those three girls how to ski.

All together it was a greate day on the mountain.

Christin and Jocelyn, you have two wonderful boys. Campbell, Gunnar and I are looking forward to hang out with them for many years to come.

Hi Kyle! You probably don't know us, but we are your friend Erik J's grandma and grandpa.

We're all cheering for you!

Lucie said...

Hello Kyle, i'm not very good in english but i want to give you lots of rainbows, fireworks and ice cream in your heart. Bonjour à toi Jocelyn. Je ne sais pas si tu te souviens mais je t'avais gardé avec ta soeur pendant 2 semaines durant votre adolescence. J'ai enseigné avec ta mère. Je souhaite vous transmettre à toi et à ta famille, une douce énergie et beaucoup d'espoir durant ce chemin difficile. Ma fille Sophie a vaincu la leucémie à 6 ans. Elle a 15 ans maintenant et elle vous envoie aussi des pensées positives. Je fais parvenir par courriel à Fleurette une photo de mes élèves de maternelle. Tu pourras la montrer à Kyle. J'ai raconté son histoire à mes élèves et nous avons décidé de vous envoyer une belle photo de vingt sourires qui donnent du courage.
Gros bisous de St-Augustin pour Kyle!

You are the best of the best at all things you put your mind to do. We have faith you will approach the bump on your head the same way as everything else you decide to tackle.
We watched your skiing the other weekend. When you are all better you and your brother need to go up to the mountain with Fiona and show her who's really boss :)Can't wait to see you soon!

Hi Sweet Kylie,
Your Grandma Linda is my best friend. I know all about you and all the wonderful things you and Nicolas do.
I loved watching you jump when you were skiing Sunday. I used to love to jump when I skied.
I cannot wait to buy my special T-shirt. And I will buy one for Samantha and Colby, my grandchildren. Samantha is four years old and she is praying for you and asked her teacher and her classmates to pray for you, too.
I am praying for you every day and I have friends all over the world praying for you. Some live in Bethlehem (where Jesus was born). They are all praying very hard.
You have so many people who want you to get better.

Hi Kyle~ This is Casey, Your cleaning lady! I just wanted to let you know that you are in my thoughts and prayers. I talked with your Grampie yesterday when I was cleaning your house, he told me that you are being a very tough boy! I was reading the little story about you and you remind me a lot of "my Kyle" He also loves sports and ESPN. He would love to come with me cleaning sometime and play with you and Nicolas. He loves to play the Nintendo Wii, too! He wants to bring his Madden 07 game over to play with you! I have also figured out now why I find coins all over your house when I clean!! You just keep on counting buddy!
Please let your mom, dad and brother know that they are in my thoughts as well. Tell your mom I am here for her if she needs anything. You take care little buddy and be strong.
Love, Casey and Family
P.s. I can't wait to buy one of your T-shirts, I will wear it everytime I clean your house!
"Ooo Um Gow Ah! Kyle's Got The Powah!

Sheila Clark said...

Kyle, Nicholas, Christin and Joslyn-What a blessing to be loved and cared for by so many people! Kyle, my son Alex (also 5) loves watching your ski video over and over. How can it be that you can ski better with one eye closed than I can with two eyes open? Maybe you'll be the one giving the lessons next season!

I think you are all amazingly strong and pray for you every time I think of you (which is about 20 times a day). Please let me know if there is anything at all that I can do.

Nicholas, each time I see you at school I just want to run over and give you a hug, even if you're across the room. If you see me smiling, know that I am throwing the biggest bear hug and can muster your way.

Christin and Joslyn, you have to be so proud of your two amazing boys. As a teacher and mom of two I know that doesn't happen by accident.

Kyle, my son Alex also loves nail polish. We tend to wear mauve, but will make the switch to bright pink to show our support. We also can't wait to get our t-shirts.

Stay strong Roger family. You are loved and love is an amazingly powerful thing.

With much love,

Sheila

Brady said...

Kyle,

I went for a run today and decided to hit a pretty step hill. I love running hills but this one was a beast. Halfway up I wanted to turn around and then I thought about you and I started to chant in my head Ooo Um Gow Ah - Kylie's Got The Powa! I just kept on chanting it in my head and I felt an amzing rush of energy and power. I crushed that hill and decided to go back down and hit it again while chanting your mantra. I crushed it again and felt awesome.
Just wanted you to know that I was thinking about you today and how strong you make me feel. I am sending all my strength and energy your way.

Kyle,

Ooo Um Gow Ah! We watched you jumping at Mt. Baker, wow what a kid! James is excited to see you. Michael wants to show you how he can crawl. James asks for you and can not wait to play with you soon.

The other day at track practice we had a really hard workout, and I was thinking about you the whole time, your determination and just how tough you are and it really helped me out, giving me strength to not give up! You can do it Kylie, just know that there are so many people that love you are and in this with you!

Christin- let me know of anything I can do to help out!

love,
elsa

Hi Kyle,
I wanted to let you know that a lot of our friends are praying for you. Mrs. Clark has asked us to pray and we are! I have kids at Carl Cozier, so a bunch of the moms there are praying too. Keep up the good attitude even when it gets yucky....you can do it!

Hi Kylie! I work with your mom, and I have been thinking of you both very much! My son Drew is also in kindergarten, and he is amazed at how great you are on a pair of skis! He and his big brother, Chase, can't wait to wear your t-shirts. We are cheering for you-- you can do it!

LOVE,

Kristal, Chase and Drew

À chaque jour depuis l'annonce de cette terrible nouvelle,j'ai une pensée pour Kyle.Je lui envoie des ondes positives et des forces pour passer à travers ses traitements.Le soir,dans mon lit,il fait désormais parti de mes prières.

Il faut garder espoir et rester positif malgré le drame de la maladie.Les enfants ont des ressources et des forces insoupçonnable en eux,et c'est parfois eux qui nous donnent les plus belles leçons de vie et de courage.

Je pense à toute votre famille.

Avec toute mon amitié

Hey Kylie!

Awesome, you're done with your first week and sounds like you did amazingly well, because you are AMAZING! Ooo Um Gow Ah - Kylie's Got the Powa!!

I thought I read somewhere on your blogspot that you like to 'rock out' on the guitar?! Next time you and Cola are down you'll have to come over and have a "jam session" with the boys, they have lots of guitars, amps, drums and a keyboard!

This summer when you come to the lake we'll take you wakeboarding so you can add that to your list of ExTrEmE SpOrTs!! You ROCK!

We're sending up lots of prayers for you and your family! God Bless you and give you tons of strength, peace and POWA!

Much Love~ Benj, Nick, Alex, Tim and Denise Haisch

Hi Kyle - This is Papa Jeff writing.(Sage's grandfather)I think about and pray for you and your family and friends, everyday. I hope you use and think about the "Dream Catcher" I sent you.

Now, I want you to do me a favor. Please read, and memorize, the following quote. Then repeat it EVERY DAY to yourself, your family members and friends, and to your doctor's. All I ask is that you make the quote part of your daily routine, and let it "soak into" your thinking.

Thank you Kyle. I'll write you later. You are loved often, and by many. Remember -- please memorize this quote:

"Come to the edge. We might fall.
Come to the edge. It's too high.
Come to the edge.
And they came, and he pushed.
And they flew."

Ooo Um Gow Ah, and

Keep on, Kyle

Papa Jeff

Hi Kyle! My name is Samantha and my daughter is Brynn, she is in Mrs. Clark's morning Kindergarten class. I worked with your Mommy when you and your big brother were tiny little babies! You have grown into a really amazing boy! I saw the video clip of you at Husky Stadium...that must have been so fun and exciting! You certainly do have the Powa! Did you know that hearing and reading about how strong and positive you are makes other people want to try and be stronger like you?! You are so inspirational! You are a very special boy and it sounds like your brain bump has met its match! You go Kyle! Keep up the strong fight..Ooo Um Gow Ah! Brynn & her whole family are thinking about you and your family and we send our love, good thoughts and prayers.....Christin-you are a strong woman..that beautiful boy of yours is a chip of the 'ole' block!~Samantha (Brands) Anorbes

Hi Kyle,

You don't know me, but I used to know your mom when we were little. I lived a few blocks from her. I just want to say that my son Simon loves Peep too and that we are thinking of you.
