It's that time again

Kyle and Campbell hug on horseback at 
Progressive Riding Academy horse camp, July 2007.

Wednesday, November 19th, is Kyle's next MRI. We have a full day at Children's with the MRI at 11:45, a visit with neurosurgery to adjust his shunt valve after exposure to the MRI machine at 2:00, and his appointment with Dr. Olson at 3:45. If things appear stable his next round of chemo starts after that. 

If you have a 'Kylie' shirt please wear it Wednesday. Even though we won't see them on friends at King Elementary, or Happy Valley, or on his supporters all over Bellingham and beyond, Kyle will be uplifted knowing people are thinking of him and cheering him on.  If you don't have a 'Kylie' shirt yet but would like one send an email to us at kylerogerfund@hotmail.com and we will be happy to get it ordered for you. 

Any good thoughts or prayers you can send Kyle's way we will take them with open hearts and tremendous gratitude. 

OOO-UM GOW-AH 
Kylie's got the POWA

We will definitely be wearing our shirts on Wednesday. Shane can't wear his to school since he has a uniform, but he can wear it after school and he can definitely have his whole class pray for you Wednesday morning! We will all pray for you.

I bet everyone at Children's is looking forward to seeing you. You are such an awesome and strong kid, and you always put a smile on our faces!

I will wear my shirt tomorrow and think good thoughts for all of you all day long. Kyle, I was really inspired reading about how determined you were to run at the fundraiser at your school. I hope you know that everyone is so proud of your courage, strength and determination. My guess is that no one has ever fought a brain bump as bravely as you! Good luck at the MRI tomorrow. Hugs and kisses to all of you!

Hi again. I am in Shane's class right now and the class wants you to know that they are all praying for you - in Mass, in class, and at home. They all say hello, and that they are cheering you on! Isn't it cool that you have friends that you've never even met?

We love you!
Julie

I just recently started following Kylie's journey; he's an amazing young man and certainly will have my prayers added to those already being said. In fact, I'll be saying extra prayers come Wednesday.

Good luck with the MRI and just remember - you've got the powa!

Take good care and God Bless,

Hi Kyle -
I had fun being your buddy last week. I like it when I get to play with you at recess time. We will miss you at school tomorrow. I will be wearing my new "OOO-UM-GOW-AH! Kylie's Got the POWA!" shirt and cheering for you!
Your Friend,
Megan H.
P.S. I hope you have a good time at the doctor's.

I'll be thinking about you and your family tomorrow Kyle! I had a great time with you on Saturday - you have to be the fastest money counter I have ever seen! I'm so glad we got to hang out.

Good thoughts headed your way....

Hi Kyle,

Ava and I are at the computer today (right at 11:45 -what do you know?) reading your blog and singing "ooo-um-gow-ah"! I think of what an inspiration you are and we all are praying for you today and will be wearing our Kyle shirts. Ava's message is "I love you, Kyle, and I hope you are feeling better today". I hope you are getting some good time in on that neat bike of yours. I know you'll give them your best down there today at Children's.

Many good thoughts and prayers to you and your family,
Carrie, Jason, Cali, Max & Ava

Hi Kyle,

I missed you today at school. I hope you did good on your MRI today. I know you can fight your brain bump. You are one of my best friends. I hope you are at school tomorrow. I want to have a play date some time soon.

Your friend,
Carson

Christin,

I can't figure out how to get in touch with you privately so I just want to tell you that I LOVE YOU. I have loved reading your diary. Thank you for sharing your beautiful, vulnerable heart as you search for peace and comfort during such an unsure time.
My heart is with you and the boys every day and I am so proud of you and the amazing mom you are to them.
I know you are heading home by now but I will ask God to make my prayers retroactive to this morning.

All my love,
Dana

Hi Kyle,
Was just reading about you needing to have your shunt valve adjusted after your MRI. (Read about you on Anne-Marie's blog.) My husband can totally relate. He has a programmable shunt too! Our friend Michael is the first person in the United States to get a programmable shunt back in 1992. Michael is now 18. We're rooting for you!

Hi Christin, I've been following Kylie's endurance and developments over the past 2 years, as have a number of my friends with whom I have been in contact about Kyle and your funding campaigns and news. I remember him so well 5+ yrs ago as a great and spirited kid; indeed a post-toddler with tons and tons of energy. As well as some pretty great smiles!

Christin, you have incredible stamina and are an incredibly strong and supportive Mom, and your relentless PR work for Kylie has been absolutely beyond remarkable. Kyle is so fortunate to have such a strong and devoted Mom. I don't know what else I can say, other than to mention that he is in my mind frequently, and I do pray for him as well. I understand realistically that it would take a miracle to make the condition disappear. In the meantime, your boundless energy combined with your 'leaving no stone un-turned' positive attitude could be described as nothing less than wonderful. Kylie could not have been more fortunate than to have been born to a very special Mom, and a loving family. I hope that you are otherwise well. Nicolas too. With thoughts, prayers, and with love, Peter D
